I'll actually try to stay current. You've got me intrigued with the Ryan-Trey relationship and all that baggage that finally comes to light in the most recent, painful context for Ryan. I've always been curious about when Trey first manipulated Ryan not just for his own gain, but also at Ryan expense. I've wondered when the betrayal and jealousy surpassed any positive components in their complex dynamic dictated solely by biology and proximity ( ... )

Hee, I should probably have put a warning, since this fic is essentially R/M. Just for this once, promise, and I do have a reason. Kind of. I hope.

Thanks, beach! I love your icon!

I am always the one complimenting everyone else's graphics, so this is a first! I finally had to move past the Chrismukkah season too, no matter how adorable that shot is.

I promise to cover one eye while reading the story selectively. I'll find the goodness absent of she-who-I-cannot-bear-to-name. How funny is it that the lack of "M" this year makes her all the more reprehensible to me? I just see her in an old episode and my finger shoots to the FF button.

Wow, I mean Wow. So very good. I'm completely hooked. You've really drawn me in hook line and sinker. I love Ryan's voice here and how he is so tired of all the apologies. You really have me wondering what demons he has living in his closet. Ryan may not be ready to reveal them, but I hope you are.

I'm so happy you finally decided to post this!

Thanks, anne! I hope you'll like the rest of the fic, then. :D

As for the demons in his closet... well, there'll be an update tomorrow. Heee.

You totally have me hooked.
I really hope that he will be ready to deal with his daemons while this story lasts.

Good to know I got your attention, lol. Thanks!

katwoman76 January 14 2007, 14:55:05 UTC

Oh, you KNEW you would get my attention.
I admit that I'm pretty predictable in that case. :)

You're right---this isn't intrinsically graphic but it has all that potential. That which he refuses to name...

I have always felt there was something missing in the relationship between the brothers, something that was never explained but that drove a wedge between them. I'm anxious to read your version of the Brothers Grimm.

Thanks, chic. I do hope it's not too disturbing, esp since I'm posting on FFN (hm), and I can never tell...

I miss stories like this. Deep and raw and painful, but with not too much explained. This doesn't feel like it's wanting for anything, but you leave the reader wanting to be told more, which is a good thing, but it doesn't necessarily need to be told. If that makes any sense.

helen_c January 14 2007, 14:52:04 UTC

Hee, it does. Thanks, mel! And really, there won't be any lenghty declarations -- this *is* Ryan.
