You've totally knocked the wind out of me. XPP THANK YOU, SISTER!!!! ^_____~

Lecturing!Jurgen is hot!

“Blegh.”
The best "philosophic" answer ever! XPP

drunk as a - Jurgen’s imagination failed him - Cleric off Prozium
You call that "failed"? I say it's a brilliant comparison! I'll be using it from now on, 'kay? ;)

Robbie wins at life as always! Speaking of that, you touched on two points that I sort of had in mind before but couldn't formulate: Are they all called Robbie indeed? and Why indeed do they call them Robbie and not Robert f.ex.?

And the last scene is so sweet that my teeth are rotting out of my head. Sorry for the ghastly imagery, but I'm so bouncy and happy now! Caring!Jurgen is cute. I like his quiet resignation. One would think he'd be more freaked out by Lisa's observation (which is priceless by the way), but I like the way that he just silently accepts the role of the caretaker. It suits him.

Damn, I don't know what else to say. I love you! XD

Oh! Forgot to add:

~ “I initiated a revolution just to get you drunk.”
I knew it! XPP

~ Cool icon! Where the hell did you get a Robbie icon?

[istne_pieklo]

LOOOL))) We all know it's true)) Preston's just that irresistible))
Oddly enough, from here. I decided that I needed an EQ icon, but I didn't find anything John/Jurgen-related. Then I saw Robbie and thought that he was badass enough on his own, so there. XDDD

[istne_pieklo]

I'm not sure if it's good or bad; I need you breathing after all)))) *secretly triumphs* XDD YOU'RE WELCOME, LUV!!! *is happeh

Hmmm~ You wrote quite a cute and nice story for this fandom~ It's the first one I've read for it, actually~ ^___^ Loved it! Memming~

[istne_pieklo]

Thank you! XDD I didn't think anyone else would read it other than the person who requested it))) It's a nice surprise!
It's my third EQ story actually. It's one of my favourite movies and somehow I write for it like... once a year))) But it's really hard to find good fanfiction for it. I basically only know one that I really like - Taking Sides. It's long, like a real sequel for the movie and it has a complex plot, humour and good characterization))

[hope_assassin]

But of course~ I am a person of various interests and all~ :333 Besides, I adore the movie myself. <3 I've never even thought of reading fanfiction for it since it was satisfying enough as it was for me in the way it was, but this story of yours was definitely worthwhile of a read. <3

> Someone had to take care of heroes that couldn’t take care of themselves.

Best line ever XD
I liked the story a lot ^^

[istne_pieklo]

*beams* Thank you, darling! <333 There's just one thing Jurgen forgets: he is a hero too)))
For some reason I love writing for this movie even though I haven't rewatched it for ages.

[helike]

Funny. I thought about rewatching it while reading the fic XD

[istne_pieklo]

I keep thinking about it all the time. Maybe rewatching would also inspire more fics. XD But I either have no time or get distracted on smth new that needs watching and not re-watching. XDDDD

[istne_pieklo]

Jurgen is planning as hard as Yumekichi, you know)))))))))
Thanks for reading, luv. <333

[shirogiku]

eeek, I can't decide if this one is my fav EQ fic of yours or Riots. Both, def, both.

Cuuute <3

[istne_pieklo]

Awww, thank you! <333
Damn, you're making me want to rewatch the film)))))
