Oh man. This was about five shades of awesome.

First! “Rough day at school, Beav?” Ahahahaha

Then! “If you make her cry again, Derek,” John said quietly, “I swear to God - family or not - I will end you.” Woooooof.

Then! "If you roofied me, Connor, I swear to god, I'll get even."

And Fuck. Inside voice. Inside voice.

And Charley left in the dark!

This was a wonderful mix of wry humor and very real hurt. So often this kind of tone can't be carried off and you did a great job with it!

I could hear their voices in my head. Awesome.

Thank you. ::blush::

This section really went a few places I hadn't anticipated and I really wasn't sure if the humor worked at all. Thanks so much for the comments.

I love this whole series.

Love this. Love the perfectly in-character voices and interaction. Love the multiple meanings of the title. Am looking forward to where you go next! Thank you for sharing this.

[indiefic]

Thank you!

Ooh, good job. I love John roofie-ing Derek's drink to get the jump on him. And Charley's disgust.

[indiefic]

Yeah, I figure John has to start embracing his inner ruthlessness at some point. Who better to practice on than Derek? ;)

Haha my favorite line was:

"Fuck. Inside voice. Inside voice."

That made me lol for real. Poor Derek. We have way too much fun torturing him in writing.

[indiefic]

LOL. Indeed, it is way too much fun to torture him. ;)
