Yow. I love the original, and it's a real treat to see it expanded upon so deftly. Thank you for that.

I love hearing a "Yow." That something of a bar I like to set for myself. :D Thank you so much!

Mmm, I love people being fucked up.

Me too, oh my. I'm glad that the feeling of no one being blameless here seems to come through; that was something I really wanted to feel real. Thank you so much!

Oh ouch! This is twisty chest fic in all the right ways; it's complex and moving and really gets in under the skin. There's something so fragile about that last paragraph where it reads, to me at least, as if Billy's trying to convince himself. I also really liked that, while things didn't work out the way Elijah expected, he refused to let Dom blame him for Dom's cheating. And, thank you for an Orlando who has a clue about this kind of thing. :)

I think twisty-chest fics are something like my bread and butter, so I'm glad it worked here, too. The original just stuck with me so hard, and that feeling of getting in under the skin was something I wanted to be consistent in the remix. The last paragraph was the hardest to write and, I think, could still use a great deal of work, but I was pushing the deadline as it was, heh, and I mostly just wanted Billy's resigned sort of optimism to close the book on things a little.

And I find Orlando so, so difficult to write under normal circumstances, but he was a dream here, an absolute dream. I'm very happy he sounds "right." Thank you! ♥

Niiiice. Fantastic cast, fascinating twists in who knows what and how they feel, and I love the reality of it, how the boys are still boys but sex gets all tangled up with emotion and suddenly people get hurt. That's really great to see. I'll write a better review for you, but I just wanted you to know that I've read and loved. Thank you so much.

Oh, I'm so glad you liked, love. Your archive is so rich, and so deep, I wondered how I was going to do you any sort of justice. And your Elijahs are such perfection I wanted to be careful with his characterization, too.

I love the reality of it, how the boys are still boys but sex gets all tangled up with emotion and suddenly people get hurt.

That's a theme I noticed you've come back to again and again in your writing, and one I wanted to play with too in the remix. I'm really glad you enjoyed it. ♥!!
