You write emotional!Jeff so well.

I loved it.

Thank you so much, it's weird, I don't usually like writing emotional!Jeff at all but for some reason I found it fairly ok and didn't end up banging my head off a brick wall trying to get it right.x

Yes, yes, a million times yes. Jeff is just so ... needy, and Annie is just so.
.. in need of being needed.
perf as always!

I will be honest and say that I don't believe this is your best work. But I did like some of the subtle moments that you put in here, like Jeff saying "I don't know, you're pretty perfect to me." I loved that it was kind of a flippant, throwaway tone but obviously something that had great weight to it. And Annie basically saying that if she loved him, he couldn't really be all that bad- perfection

[x_avecia_x]

Oh Lord no, it's definitely not my best work, I totally agree with you there and I appreciate your honesty! And I appreciate the compliment too, means a lot to me :)

I loved everything about this, but what really stood out the most was this line..

‘I just don’t really want to be alone.’

...especially since Jeff's initial plan was to lock himself away in his apartment and drink himself to sleep.

I love that Annie can get him to open up in a way that no one else can and that she does it without force or manipulation, but just by being herself and allowing Jeff to be himself.

This was a really beautiful piece of work!

Thank you so much. And you picked up exactly on how I wanted Annie to come across. Had it been Britta who had gone to check up on him I think we all know the scenario would have had a completely different outcome. Annie knows how to treat Jeff when he's under pressure better than anyone else.

Oooh, very lovely story, and sad. I'm glad things didn't go any further than they did - but I like that the door's open for more later. Very nice. :)

Thanks!

I was toying with making something happen between them both at the motel but I just said to myself that I'd be indulging my sick fantasy and ignoring the characters and the way any normal person would react, so I settled for a conversation about their feelings. I'm fairly happy now with how this turned out :)

[x_avecia_x]

Holy. Crap.

You just wrinkled my brain!

I wasn't deliberately trying to be so covert in writing Jeff in that way but when I read it over I think your spin theory is pretty spot on.
