Ok, really quick typo:

“You say that like it’s a bad thing.”

“It is a bad thing.”

“You don’t anything.”

“I know you.”

That should probably be, "You don't know anything."

That being said, I thought this was absolutely amazing and I really loved it. The concept is original and the execution worked out perfectly, I think.

Thank you so much! I wrote this in a bit of mad rush and was terribly worried about how it came off.

(And for pointing out the typo!)

I don't usually like fics written in the first person but I really really loved this.

(There was war number two. You remember this one? Bombs, bombs, atomic.

This one got me before I got the chance to screw her.)

Just, oh. And that ending. Fantastic &hearts

Thank you so much! Means a lot coming from someone whose writing I admire.

I really enjoyed reading this. I was wondering who you pictured as the characters?

Thank you so much!

And that's no problem. I have a list actually.

Grady was Melanie Laurent in the 20's, Eva Green from the forties to sixties, Zooey Deschanel in the nineties and Lea Sedoux in the last one. Nick was Louis Garrell in almost all of them, except the last where he was Clive Owen.

I came to your journal through corleones and your wonderful casting for The Sun Also Rises. And then I started reading your work. I won't comment on all of them (also because you might think I was stalking you), but I do want to say that I am really liking the way you write and this piece is one of the best things I've read in a while.

Next life time, we don’t fuck and she dies nun and I die a whore.

(It was the eighties, see. Line of coke on my client’s ass.)
Gorgeous lines.

Oh, and I think this title and the title of your journal are quite brilliant because I have so much love in my heart for Dire Straits and anyone who references them must be cool.
