I loved that xD I liked the whole thing but the phone conversation; I loved. Because it made me laugh. And I liked that Gabe was imagining that sort of stuff with William; like it could be more in a different universe. I dont know why, just because. I loved it anyway. So in turn; I love you. :D

Thank you very much! I'm loving you like a two-dollar whore right now. ;)

Woah. No one's ever loved me back I don't think xD -considers marriage- :O I've never written slash before but I started one today and I'm pretty sure it sucks and since I have no one to read it I'm like o.O

I want to cry this is so pretty. I mean pretty in the deepest most wonderful sense. Pretty. Beautiful-pretty.

The conversation in part 2 made me grin like a buffoon and sigh happily. Also: William's phone dialled Gabe cos of VOICE RECOGNITION? ehehe, I like the implication. The implication is awesome.

You're goooooodddd. Yay YOU. I am in just the right mood for sleepy-lovey-sexy Gabe-and-William.

I loved this so much. All the culture shock and unfinishable sentences and the Avril and the peas and the Friends and everythinggggg. MY HEART

[iridescentglow]

Fantastic! I love the William of Gabe's desire - it's like, William Beckett isn't that hard a nut to crack, right? But for Gabe, William's cracking is ongoing and perpetual.

Hmm, that's a funky mixed metaphor. What I mean to say is, I always love how you write them, and thank you so much for stepping in at the last minute, and feel free to write the sequel where Bill thinks it'll be romantic to cover himself in peanut butter and let Gabe lick it off.

That is it exactly! I started writing this after the realization that my characterizations of Gabe and Bill had become... almost caricature-ish. And when I tried to figure out how to write them afresh, I found my Gabe was a lot darker and less-controlled -- conversely, William started to seem like the sane one in the relationship. I sort of love this scenario where Gabe can't even make a relationship work with someone who is so *easy* (in all senses of the word). Oh, Gabe.
