Aww, Chris, please don't cry over Sam. What sort of role model is Sam being to Chris? A terrible one. Chris needs a hug. Probably from Annie because none of the others deserve to hug Chris. Sam says he wants to get better but then he drinks a whole bottle of vodka, smashes his window and passes out drunk on the landing? Nice one, mate. You're doing well.

:D Fantastic update!

Sam does need a good talking to, doesn't he?

And I'll make sure Chris gets lots of hugs. :)

Thank you!!

Ouch. Chris, you're one hundred percent right there! And don't cry over Sam, the way he's behaving it's not worth it. I think this is where I get really fed up with Sam's moping and wish he'd get off his arse and start behaving like an adult.

Once again you have me talking to the characters! :) You have made me angry with Sam, which is usually very hard to do because I like him so much, and you've done some damn good writing here!

Especially liked the bit with the key, I seem to remember doing something similar myself, except that I never actually believed it would work and was doing it more for show. Maybe Sam's the same, because he's pissed. :P

Really loving these ultra regular updates! :D

Thank you!

Well you're not alone in being fed up with Sam. He's going to get a good talking to.

It's okay to talk to the characters. That's what happened to me which is why I started writing fic for them. Now they won't shut up. :)

I am very impressed with your quick updates! Poor Chris! I like how his disdain, his hurt, is what cuts Sam more than one of Gene's tirades would. And I sense we'll be having one of those next time. Great job!

dakfinv October 21 2007, 20:29:33 UTC

Well some good things should come out of being temporarily unemployed. ;)

And you are very right about the tirade, which has now been posted...

Thank you!!

Poor Chris. It always bad when people you look up to disappoint you. I keep thinking Gene should dp what he's done in Jabberwocky!

I figured the only way to start waking Sam up was to have him hurt by the person he wasn't fighting with. I think I've been watching too many televised interventions.

Aww Chris!

I'm glad you wrote him like this...it would be hard for him to retain respect for Sam when he sees him drinking his problems away.

Sam's making a tit of himself again XD At least it's an improvement from panic attacks...?

I love Sam remaining still so very Sam when drunk...his thought processes, hehe.

Chris is a smart little cookie. He's not going to let Sam get away with acting like a div.

And I really love writing drunk!Sam. Maybe for my oft-promised fluff piece I should do a happydrunk!Sam.

Thank you!
