This was a lovely piece of writing. You did well with capturing the tragedy, the sickness that is addiction, the riot of emotions in Jensen's head as he contemplates his role in both his own and Jared's fall. I like the way your Jensen tries to understand responsibility and enabling. I liked the style it was written in...it fits the pov well- these short, terse sentences and the simple yet loaded descriptors for his thoughts and his analysis of his surroundings. It creates a realistic voice that encapsulates the inner turmoil of addiction.
I like reading well written fiction that tackles this subject, and I think you've done a great job with this piece. Thank you for sharing!
I feel sorta redundant saying this, but thank you so much for reading and taking the time to leave feedback. This style was SO different that I thought it might have been offputting to most. Have you ever read 'My Loose Thread'? First time I read it I thought it was horrible until I gave it a reread and then realized what the writer was trying to do, the voice he was trying to create: an extremely fucked up person who's not sure just HOW he got so fucked up, ie murdering somebody, sleeping with his kid brother, etc.
I'll have your babies and this. Can I just say that this was perfect. Fucking perfection, and exactly what I wanted. Damn, Maddy. In the end I wanted a love story, and you totally delivered. A twisted, fucked-up, love story and it is BEAUTIFUL.
Thank you so much for taking the time to write this for me. I adore you and I appreciate it so much. ♥♥♥
Jensen feels like he’s leading Jared into hell. Fuck, he probably is. He’s a Tuesday afternoon soul-collector. It still hasn’t rained yet. Fucking newsman, liar. That line made me ache so much. God.
SO glad you liked it mama! I wrote this story with just you in mind and I kinda let myself go away with it because your brain is my brain and we generally think in the same, ultimately fucked up kind of way.
This is why we must take over the world. With our boobs...we're going far!
I can't say I like this, because really I don't. The whole thing with drugs freaks me the hell out (sister is an ex junky), but I have a perverse fascination with it, nonetheless.
That being said it is beautifully written (as I knew if would be, hence me taking the chance on reading it).
The story has a hazy, disjointed feel to it and it was almost like I was dreaming it, rather than reading.
There's a fantastic movie called "Candy" that deals with drugs and the addiction of love you should check it out.
Despite the fact that you knew from the summary that this isn't your cup of tea in a story, thank you so much for giving it a read anyway. That means a lot more than you being in love with it, ya know?

I have a perverse fascination with darker stories too. Like things dealing with abuse and such. Awful things I wouldn't wish on anyway, yet, fictionally speaking I love how far you can stretch the imagination.
Kind of 'hurts' a bit when you realize that your fiction could very well be someone else's reality.
I'm so glad you took my comment as it was intended. I always get a bit nervous about leaving reviews that aren't 100% positive.
I think that so long as something is well written you can pretty much go anywhere. It's when it's sensationalized that I have a problem with it. Like X gets raped so Y can offer comfort, but there's not real emotion, or explanation of the actual incident, to support it.
You have a great gift and it's good to read stuff that isn't just hearts and unicorns, from time to time.

I'm having such mixed emotions about this right now, I don't know either to cry or be happy... GOSH.
This fic = ♥ I'm in love with the way Jensen is in love with Jared in this. *clutches heart*
Did I mention I like the plot? 2 junkies in love? There's so not enough of those out there in the J2 world.
