Did I ever tell you how much I love your sarcastic and awesome characters, especially when they're set in post-Apocalyptic situations? ♥

Uhhh, not that I know of! But now you have, and thank you! :3

I always love a good apocalypse story! :) The dialogue was really funny with just the right amount of snark, and I would happily listen to Nick and Theo talk all day long.

I especially liked how you used the Hollywood theme to tie the setting with Theo's reactions to Nick and then the overall situation. The progression from Hollywood sign, to annoyingly formulaic blockbuster movies, to scrutinizing the "script" of what brought them here made the piece flow really nicely.

I'm strangely drawn to them even though they depress me, haha. XD And I'm delighted to hear you like the boys; they sneak up on me and demand to be written about when I least expect it. XD

Thank you! ♥;

I love the darkness of this, and how Nick and Theo are still Nick and Theo despite the setting. Love this line in particular: Theo didn’t stop him. They needed all the angels they could get.

I'm a total sucker for using weird alternate universes to illuminate the characters I have. I'm so glad you enjoyed it; thank you! :D

This was so magnetic -- I really like that tension of how surreal the situation is, yet it is both horribly real yet Hollywood cliche. And this: "Getting what he’d wished for in the middle of a nightmare threw him off-balance; the impossibility struck him from every angle." I sort of ♥ that in a big way, especially since Nick is a big whiner -- that's romantic to me, that he knows all his flaws.

I'm so glad that balance came off well. Thank you so much, my dear. ♥;
