Thanks for sharing this!
It's lovely, it shows Will's pain, his frustration with himself and his longing for what could have been with Alicia perfectly! :)

It was my first time even attempting to write Will, so I'm glad this worked so well for you. Thanks so much for reading!

That's so...sad... Sigh - these two break my heart. You've written this moment - just before they leave behind each other and everything they've ever known for a new, scary adult world - so beautifully.

First, I really like your icon! Second, thanks for reading. I'm glad you enjoyed this!

YOU ARE KILLING ME.

“Yeah.” He laughs again, the sound thick and foreign as it falls between them. The light flickers across her face. “Yeah.”

I WOULD LIKE TO REQUEST THAT YOU WRITE WILL GARDNER ALL THE TIME. ALL OF THE TIMES.

MY SOUL OF SOULS, MAN, YOU'RE KILLING ME IN THE BEST WAY AND I JUST WANT MORE.

I really, really just want to to write Georgetown fic detailing their lives from the first time they met to this moment. That's all I basically want to do with my life right now because the show doesn't give us nearly enough information as to what really happened to them during that time.

(P.S. I'm still waiting for you to give these two a try!)

That moments akin to this one were concrete and full-proof, that the two of them were meant to be a part of something that was indestructible, a perfect body politic.

that is so great. i hope you write more!

abvj April 23 2011, 12:15:49 UTC

Hopefully I'll be writing more for this show soon! Thanks for reading!

AAAAAHH. I HAD FORGOTTEN ABOUT THIS. I'M SO GLAD YOU DIDN'T.

Oh my gosh, you've made me hurt for them all over again. I'm glad you chose to write from Will's perspective. My ship of these two has faltered largely because I feel there's been so little this season portraying him as the deep, feeling, complex, good person Alicia deserves. (I believe he still probably IS that person, somewhere in there; the writers just haven't been very demonstrating of it). But you made this feel so real and wistful and full of emotion and now I feel sorry for his cute dumb face again.

The truth: Even if it got to the point where I don't ship them on the show anymore? I will always, ALWAYS ship them like burning at Georgetown. *starry-eyes*

Your details of the things he notices about her, and the ring... that STUPID RING... are absolutely lovely and heartbreaking. And the theme is brilliant.

Kudos to you. Thank you for reminding me of the potential of these two. :-*

I am glad that you enjoyed this even though you've lost your love for them a little. Which, by the way, I completely understand. I hope we get something soon to renew that love or further cement the idea that Will is who she should be with. We'll see though. Either way, like you said, I will always love them in time frame. I want to write fic detailing their relationship from beginning to start during this time frame more or less because I NEED to know what happened for realsies.

sweetjamielee April 25 2011, 14:15:24 UTC

Yanno, I don't want to say I've LOST the love? It's just... hibernating until it has a good reason to wake up again. I'm definitely open to embracing the ship again; just need SOMETHING to remind me that this is worthwhile, in present-day canon.

WE ALL NEED THIS IN OUR LIVES PLZ THX??

I have high hopes for the finale. I'm hoping it doesn't let me down. Although, at this point I'll take anything! Next Tuesday seems so very far away.

Re: Georgetown fic. I'm really, REALLY thinking about it? I've had this Peter/Alicia thing set post 9 Hours I've had rolling around in my head for ages. Maybe once I can get that out, I'll give it a go?
