Oh oh oh Ryan (Brendon too, but oh, Ryan). You just pared my heart down to the essentials, the bare underlying choice and starkness, and god, it hurt. Beautifully done.

Also: once it had been AudreyandBrendonandRyanandJac maybe that had been best of all because they were all three at the same time, and he really wasn't ruling out the idea that there had been AudreyandJac, that might have happened, that would have fit, but it wouldn't have mattered because they each had someone to wrap themselves up I LOVE IT SO MUCH.

Thank you so much!! <333 I'm so glad you liked this, seriously.

The temptation to write a companion fic from Brendon's side is overwhelming. Thoughts?

[jocondite]

I loved it to bits and pieces.

Oh, are you kidding me? I definitely want more - but I thought this *was* Brendon's side? Do you mean you want to go into that deeper? Because I am all for that. I'm also all for Ryan's side. if that's what you mean. *greedy either way*

I'm so glad omg. This was so weird for me to write, actively resisting that happy smiley ending.

Gahh, I can type, really I can. I totally meant to say Ryan's side. *headdesk* I don't know, though...*indecisive*

Well, I really love how there's so much elided in this fic that the reaeder has to put together - it makes it sharper, makes it hurt more. But on the other hand - I'm always on the side of more fic, and Ryan's so opaque here that his side could be so interesting... Oh, I am no help, am I?
