Whoa, you took an oft-repeated theme and did something beautiful with it! I LOVED the metaphor of John being out on a limb, and HAVING been on that limb for a while, and Paul joining him out there without any questions. And I loved the bit where you talk about Paul's eyes being full of trust that John never even had to work to earn. The whole thing was just, yeah, beautiful. ^_^

Thank you! Yeah, it is a subject that seems rather popular, but I tried to twist it in a new, slightly unexpected way, so I'm really happy you enjoyed it! And I'm sort of in love with the idea that Paul's loyalty to John was so unwavering and total, especially in the beginning. :)

Thanks again!

And it's totally canon. I really think as soon as Paul saw John up there, as soon as he joined the band, his loyalties lay with him. And I think Paul is a very loyal sort of guy, who doesn't take that sort of trust back.

Oh yeah. Me and canon are like bread and butter. I can read a well-written AU fic and TOTALLY dig it, but I cannot write anything that doesn't realistically fit in to a timeline or whatever. A weird writing hangup? You be the judge. (Hint: Yes. Yes it is.)

He absolutely seems that way. I think he's still just as loyal to this day to John. Maybe even moreso.

[grl_in_red]

Def even moreso. :)

I totally have the same hangup! I love to read well-written AU fics, but I CANNOT bring myself to write them. xD I guess because my love of the pairing is its canon-ness, and so realistic situations are more inspirational for me. :]
