I like Brendon's struggle in this; his struggle with his family's background and ideology, and how he still can't completely break free from that. I don't think this would have been as effective if he'd just gone against it. I like how Ryan understands the position Brendon's in and doesn't push him. He's so accepting and that's a really lovely dynamic to explore between these two boys.

Also?
Ryan wrapped long fingers around Brendon's wrist and drew it up to his mouth, pressing lips to fingertips, eyes closed, sincere.

Thank you, very much :)

I've said it a billion times, but I don't think I'll ever get sick of spiritualagony!Brendon. I mean. Come on. Conservative Christianity to Wentzdom? That's gotta be an awkward shift.

Wow, that was fantastic! I can't wait for the longer piece, to be honest. You write their build-up of angst and emotion and sex really, really well. Thanks for linking me!

Oh my gosh, see, I kind of love this. I know I was just saying I'd like to see more innocent!conflicted!Brendon and man, I was so right. You've got a perfect handle on that, obviously, I don't need to repeat what everyone else has already told you ( ... )

Ohh, man, it pleases me on so many levels, that you "got" everything I was trying to convey. I love their whole weirdo dynamic, both as a group and when you splinter them off, like this. innocent!conflicted!Brendon has eaten my brain, dude, he keeps demanding my love.

AHAHA I ADORE THAT TOO. Like in that one blog entry where he says he watched a movie with "ross" and felt tired after. You know, from the assfucking.

Comment!spam ftw!! \o/ Thanks so much for the spam, twas tasty :P

Okay, I love fics from this era, so to speak, because I love the fact that Ryan gets idealized a lot, and fics in this era tend to be more realistic about the fact that he can be a prissy uberbitch.

I also love that you didn't caricature him as a diva, just young and insensitive.

Also, YESSS just everything here is so perfect. I love the fact that Ryan and Brendon have a connection, because whether or not you're a dorkass like we are, you have to admit that that's the kind of connection they do have, where they don't have to worry about fully articulating their thoughts.

They're just that in tune with each other. YOU CAN SO TELL.
