Speechless! This whole chapter gave me chills. I can't believe it's really over. This is without a doubt the best fic I have ever read and if I didn't love Kevin/Max before, I sure as hell do now :D

I almost want to cry because it's over, but I know you'll write more of this pairing, right? :D

Ryan and the threesome joke was hilarious!! :D

I absolutely adored this part: “But he’s here,” Maxim whimpers. “Kevin…”

“Yeah,” Kevin kisses him gently, “but so am I.”

I LOVE how Chase finally gets his ass kicked and how Ryan and Alex join in on it without even knowing who he is. He deserves to suffer so much for what he did to Maxim. But you know, I think Max can finally let it go. He has Kevin. He has Ryan and Alex. He has the team. And he finally believes in himself again. Such a beautiful work you've done here. Just too many feelings for this whole story. Thank you for writing it <3

And the last line just sums up everything so beautifully:
They are the two perfect, fragile pieces of this unbreakable whole.

Perfection <3

awwww <3 this is so sweet!! I've loved writing this - especially because it's max/kevin and I love themmmm - and I'm so glad you've liked it! Thanks for reading the whole entire thing :D

I'm so happy all that came across <3

Merciiiiii <3

It was so obvious that you loved writing this one (such beautiful poetic emotions and angst and drama). This fic is better than any hockey romance book I've read (and definitely steamier). You should really find a way to turn this one in to a novel or a series because it would be AWESOME!! :D How could I not read the whole thing? You had me hooked by the first chapter (no pun intended) :D

Yes, it all came across beautifully <33

:D :D

[ice_hot_13]

Awww :) I'm so glad! That's super awesome to hear :D I really, really would like to! I just have to write the synopsis and a coverletter before I can send it into places - and figure out how to hide hte fact that it used to be about the canucks LOL :D and then to decide if i'd put my name on it D: THE DECISIONS! but it'd be so cool :D

[lisapy74]

You definitely should DO it!! Maybe you could start with a synopsis for each chapter and then add or subtract from there? I'm not really sure what to put in a cover letter, but I'm sure you can figure something out.

That'll be interesting how to hide the fact that it used to be about the Canucks. And I know you want to keep the name Max. I don't know if it might work to use middle names of the guys? That part might take a little brain storming.

You should totally put your name on it!! Or you could use this super cool pseudonym if you wanted to. Or initials or something like that. Wow, there are a lot of decisions and a lot of possibilities, but you should totally do it!!!! :D

[ice_hot_13]

I soooo need to - writing the entire thing was the hard part, and yet, it's the synopsis that's taking forever to even start! ahahaha

I know! It's so hard! I can't change vancouver, because it's so grounded there, but i gotta change hte team name and almost all of the guys' names! So far, i think i'd give alex a different french name - like Xavier :D beacuse how cute is Xav as a nicknameeeee <3

I'm not sureee! I SUPER want my name on it, but hte problem is, it's an awkward thing if people were to find it! like, for instance, my mom! ahahahaha

[lisapy74]

I hate that! You know you've done the hardest part already, but you just get stuck on something that should be easy compared to what you've already done, but it's just not happening. I know it's frustrating! <3

Right, definitely can't change Vancouver. One of the book series I've been reading has a team called the Seattle Chinooks. You could call them the Nooks, instead of the Nucks! And changing all of the guys' names, that'll be challenging for sure. Oooh, I love Xavier for Alex. <3 Xav would be an awesome nickname for him.

Oh yeah, I didn't think about that part....ooops!! Yeah, we don't want you to have to that conversation with your mom!! Maybe use a nickname that your friends call you that your mom doesn't really know? I don't know if that would work. Interesting dilemma. Or you could try to make up an anagram of your whole name or something... I'll keep thinking about it :)

[ice_hot_13]

oh i knoww :( it's like, come on, i've done ALL the hard parts already, but writing 2 pages is harder than 160!

For sure :D awww the nooks <3 I'm glad you like Xav! It's got an X in it, like Alex, so i love it :D it'll be like all these secret codes in the book that only original fans get! ahahha

thanks! :D i'm still stuck on this one. it's like, i super want it to be MINE, but at the same time, i don't know! It's such a dilemma!

[lisapy74]

I know...It would be funny if it wasn't so frustrating for you. I mean, you can crank out 160 pages, and it's 2 that's giving you the problem :) Like those math word problems that I never understand because I try to make it too complicated, when it really should be easy!! I know you can do it though! :)

I'm glad you like the Nooks :) Ah yes, I love Xav! And that's excellent. I didn't think about it having an X like Alex! That is totally awesome. And that's another thing to love, too, that there will be all these secret codes that only the original fans will get! Like we are all in some super special secret group :D :D Because we got to read this FIRST!! <3

I'm sorry you're still stuck on what name to use. I can totally understand it though! Yeah, you've put your heart and soul in to this fic, and it definitely IS yours and everyone should know it, but I completely see your dilemma! I really do hope you can come up with a solution that will make you happy and work for you too :D

I hope you're doing well :)

[ice_hot_13]

ahaha exactly! It's like, the 2 pages is JUST A SUMMARY, and i still can't do it! and the whole changing names/identifying details, it's so daunting! UGH MATH WORD PROBLEMSSSSS. don't miss those things at all! :D

all the original fans <3 <3 I just hope none of them would ever like, i don't know, tell people that it was really about the canucks? Or something? I'd hate for them to find otu! that's the one thing that STILL unsettles me about rpf haha - the REAL PEOPLE part ;D

Suuuuch a dilemma! still thinking on this one :D i'm leaning towards using my name, and just not telling anyone? but i WANT TOOOO. but i DONTTTT. i don't even know!
also, if this were to be my first published book, then i'd pick a line from it to tattoo on me! That's my tattoo plan :D

hope you're doing awesome!! :D

[lisapy74]

Maybe it's knowing that it "should" be easy that's making it not easy... if that makes any sense? And I'm sure changing the names and details is kind of overwhelming when you start to think about it all. I'll keep thinking on that. I still think Seattle might work for a location, because it's still northwest, and a hockey team would totally fit there... but that's just me. You might have something totally different in mind :) YEAH, me neither!! Hated those things

[ice_hot_13]

Absolutely! It's like thinking "oh, i SHOULD be able to do this, SO easily," and then I start to think about it and it feels so daunting, but I still think it's supposed to be easy! Ugh

[lisapy74]

I'm sure!! There are so many things to think about it, I bet it's kind of overwhelming!! I really do hope you can stick with Vancouver. Yeah definitely, we don't want to lose the Canadian jokes, and I know you don't want to move it to Winnipeg or Edmonton!! A new league would be exciting, with new cities and new teams! That would be a fun challenge I'm sure :) Or you could say Western Canada maybe? There really is a lot to think about. The names will definitely be a challenge. Maybe you can use their first name but change their last name or use their middle name. Wow, that is hard

[ice_hot_13]

So many details! Hopefully htey can all sort out :)

and i know! She criticises something about EVERYONE'S tattooo they send! I don't think she's ever happy hahhaa. and she's just not into word tattoos - someone go ta quote from a book, and she said, why not get a picture tha trepresents the theme instead? NOOOO! She doesn't understand the attachment some people have to words, I guess. Not a writing person :D

[lisapy74]

I'm sure they will!! I have complete and total faith in you :D

Wow!! I can't imagine criticizing everything like that!! Doesn't sound like she is!!

I agree, words are very powerful too, and mean more to some people than pictures ever could! Words can evoke so many memories and emotions and stuff that pictures just can't. You're right, she's obviously NOT a writing person. Her loss, right?? :D

[ice_hot_13]

I know! I would MUCH rather have words as a tattoo than a picture. Plus, the handwriting!!!
