She really does, if only for putting up with me being my own worst critic. I would send her things and she'd be like "This is great!" and I'd be like "I'M PRETTY SURE IT BLOWS" and she'd be like "KEEP IT" and I'd go "FINE I GUESS YOU'RE MAKING ME." This accounts for about 99% of what you see here. I WOULD HAVE DELETED IT.
In related news, I'm the worst writer to beta for EVER.
This was wonderful, warm and sweet and I loved that Bradley was willing not to come out to everyone because he thought Colin wouldn't want him to. Loved that Angel and Katie didn't believe them at first. Hee!
Well, he's not exactly raring to come out either, but it's mostly for Colin - Bradley's smit like that. I'm so glad it worked for you! My challenge to myself was "make the audience root for them not to come out publically" which, let me tell you, is quite a challenge.
Seriously though this was adorable and I've reread it a couple of times. One of my all-time favorites for Bradley/Colin stories (well two since this is a sequel).
I was rooting for them not to come out publicly since I think Colin wouldn't want that. I can only imagine in real life what Colin said after Bradley did the whole bromance thing. Oh, my.
Oh and this....
"but I responded to every comment I got, which I know is totally breaking netiquette for what cool authors do. Cool authors just serenely bask and do not respond to comments except from their special entourage and are, you know, put-together and shit. Fuck that. I clearly am not very cool."
Guess what. IMO, cool authors respond to every comment. So you are very, very cool. :D
INSTEAD I CAME HERE AND READ THIS... THIS.. THIS UTTERLY, UTTERLY WONDERFUL, BRILLIANT, GLORIOUS, TERRFIFIC, AWESOME, [please insert further superlatives here] FIC!
YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW INSANELY HAPPY YOU MADE ME WITH THIS! I ALREADY LOVED ARSEFUCKERY I AND I'M EVEN MORE IN LOVE WITH ARSEFUCKERY II.
PLEASE, NEVER STOP WRITING THESE TWO, THEY DESERVE TO BE TOGETHER LIKE THIS SO VERY MUCH! ❤
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THAAAAAAAAAAAANK YOU - I'LL FALL ASLEEP WITH THIS HUGE GRIN ON MY FACE AND THAT'S YOUR FAULT. ILU!❤
After reading this I'm caught somewhere between crying tears of joy and squeeing incomprehensible endearments. The story is...amazing. I love the boys and the voices you give them (Colin's dark humour is bang on, in my opinion) and the whole thing feels like what love between them should be all about. I really wish I could heap on more praise but my brain is just happy, happy goo after this and getting someone's brain to turn to mush (without involving sexual favours)? Probably the best compliment I'm capable of giving you!
Thank you! I always find it so difficult to write Colin. Bradley's very obvious and distinctive, but too many people write Colin as retiring when, in fact, he's quite cheeky, he just seems less so when compared to Bradley.
And thank you so much! If I get a smile and sigh, I consider my work done.

Then thisissirius deserves a medal -- it would have been a terrible, terrible waste not to share this.
Lovely, sweet, warm, funny stories, both the first part and this one. Once I started I just couldn't stop reading.
Thank you.

I'm so glad you enjoyed! I hope you have happy, happy dreams of boys in love. I actually had a few while writing! They were very nice.
