Wow. Oh wow, oh wow, oh wow. Seriously. Wow.

Sorry, attempting coherence now.

This is beautifully done. The way this moves through time, giving us Ted's perspective on events and illuminating the other characters through his eyes - Charlie and Reese, Connie's hidden steeliness. Each voice was dead on perfect, and the overall tone fit Ted and the show just wonderfully and seriously, dude. WOW.

Umm. Yes. I just totally fangirled at you. In case you didn't notice. ;)

Thanks! I'm glad you liked it, a lot! This is my first official fic for this fandom and I'm boatloads of nervous.

(you don't see it but I'm trying to play it cool when all I want to do is say: squeeee!)

Oh wow. grimorie FTW! That was amazingly well done. All the characters voices were dead on. I can't believe that this is your first fic in this fandom. I hope its not you last.

Thanks, I'm really glad you liked it. I was, still am actually pretty nervous about this since this is my first foray into Life.

I love this SO MUCH.

[grimorie]

Aw. Thanks!

Oh, this is great. I love Bobby's terrible idea of throwing a surprise party, and your portrayal of what Charlie was like in prison (especially the scene where Ted's about to go free, ouch), and Ted's thoughts on Dani, and his insecurities, and, and all the other parts. This was wonderful show-withdrawal balm.

Also, I hadn't introduced myself, but I've been gleefully browsing through your awesome Life picspams and meta posts lately. Hi!

[grimorie]

Hi! And welcome! Feel free to browse! Also, so glad you liked the story. I love Bobby but sometimes he overcompensates the guilt complex and it was fun getting inside Ted's head:)

[grimorie]

Thanks! I liked Ted and believe it or not but this story sprung for my desire to see more Ted and Reese interactions, I was surprised it went beyond that and that it worked.
