This made me incredibly happy and incredibly sad at the same time:
Then he’d picked up Jared’s hand where it sat on the sofa between them. Jensen’s palm was warm and dry and he’d squeezed Jared’s hand lightly. It wasn’t the first time Jared had wanted the impossible. And he doubted it would be the last.
That Jensen gets to be like this with Jared, and Jared has such a connection with Jared, I just want them to be together right now! And it breaks my heart when Jared thinks things about wanting the impossible.
It gets under my skin a little that Tom used the Pride Parade, somewhere he knew it would get a lot of coverage, to ask Jensen to marry him. I realize they both have issues with love, but Tom isn’t ‘in love’ with Jensen and to pull a stunt like that bothers me - how much does Tom pay attention to the people around him instead of just the cause?
I love this:
He refuses to acknowledge how Jared popped into his mind. How his steady calmness works the knots out of Jensen’s muscles as surely as a massage.How just being with Jared
( ... )
And I know I’m being quote-y again, but I just love this so much:
“You’re incredible, Jared Padalecki.” Jensen is staring as if he can see inside of Jared. But his face is a mystery. “I’ve been so caught up in myself, and the fight to change the laws and, yeah, it’s important because what’s right still matters. Yet … you … you can care about who made Tang with equal fervor to our place in the universe. In seconds you shine a light to things bigger than just me. Or … T-Tom.” Jensen runs his hand across the back of his head. There’s a bounce in his step as he swings closer to Jared again and takes his hand. “C’mon. Let’s watch that miniseries. All twelve episodes. Take me on a voyage to the moon.”
Look at what all you packed in there! So much emotion from Jensen comes spilling out. I just love it!
And I felt tears pricking my eyes when Jared started to cry, especially with this:
Lips brush his temple and down his cheek and for the first time since his father died Jared feels loved again.So glad that Jensen could be that for Jared
( ... )
Thanks again. Tom is a hard case and not easy to like. He's not a liar though. He never told Jensen he loved him. It was always an arrangement from the start in his mind. But he's insensitive that Jensen isn't as cut off as he is. Or he ignores it, which is worse. He has just enough self awareness left to know that he's a basketcase emotionally. And maybe he needed Jensen in there with him. Tom is a very flawed, very tragic character.
Oh - you made me cry ....again!! How do you do it. you are amazing, your talent for writing is outstanding, you draw me in and I'm there with them, feeling their emotions and I cry!!
Needless to say I'm loving this and will continue on even though I can't see the screen :))
Of all the parts of the story this is my favorite. It has personal notes, including the fact that a small version of that same print is hanging in my family room. :)
Thanks! This is a special story to me. I researched it hard and I learned so much. I appreciate your taking the time to let me know you are finding it moving. Please come back and let me know if you enjoyed the conclusion.
this is so spot on for jareds characterization do you have experience with asburgers (sp) i have adhd but they thought maybe autism for awhile and i understand the never knowing what others are thinking its very hard for me to process social cues and you portray that beautifully without making it exagerated or fake
Thank you again. No. I don't have direct experience with autism. But I researched a good deal for this story and read a great many blogs from people with Asperger's and they serves as inspiration for Jared.
