I...I...I'm in awe! This is so perfect. You captured Tim and Kon's voice so true and clear it's as if they were make of crystal and your words filled them up and colored them in. Balancing Kon's brashness and agression with his insecurity was classic but you didn't go cliche' with it. You kept it fresh and personal. Tim's distractedness (I know but it works) is classic but again you added the artistic portion of photography to make this real. I loved the way they slipped between being bro-s and being in a relationship, the rough-housing and the kissing without loosing any of their essence. And you kept them so honest, the good, the bad, and the ugly in each of them met head on, apologized for and forgiven. Brilliant!
Thank you for sharing this. It was a very very very enjoyable read.

Hahaha, that's a good way to put it, 'classic'. Cause I think cliches are fine to use, as long as you work to keep some aspect of them original and fresh, and 'classic' sounds nicer than 'cliche' when explaining frequently-used tropes.

I loved the way they slipped between being bro-s and being in a relationship. And you kept them so honest, the good, the bad, and the ugly in each of them met head on.

I'm really glad it worked and you got everything I was trying to get across! ♥

I loved this so much,I can't really express it in words. It had me close to tears the whole time, and Kon's insecurity was so heartwrenching and perfect. I felt for Tim, though-I'm into photography too, and I'm always staring at stuff. I wonder how that looks to other people XD Lovely fic, thanks for posting it!

Hahaha, I think it's the curse of art people. We make weird comments and look at weird things for reasons that other people just can't fathom XD

Thank you so much for the lovely comment ♥ I'm really glad it reached that emotional level for you, lol.

I wanna say something intelligent but I'm kind of incoherent with glee at that ending.

This was really intense and beautiful. I loved how you described things. The moment with Kon losing control was really nerve-wracking. My stomach clenched, and I just kept thinking, Kon, what are you doing? NO.

I like that it was brought up again too, after they settled things about Tim's staring. I'm glad that it wasn't magically forgotten.

The ending was just. UGUGUUUGUUU~~ Perfect. T^T

♥ x infinity.

Yeah! A lot of fics just conveniently forget things or 'magically' make things better - and to a certain extent, I did too, cause I just wanted closure even though Tim could have remained mad and not accepting of Kon's behavior, and things could have remained really uncomfortable on both of their parts, but yeah, I didn't want to just forget that Kon had crossed that line.

Thank you for your comment ♥

You....are such a brilliant writer. No seriously, you are! THAT was fucking brilliant. I'm still in tears over this! I think the best part was that the issues/problem that were brought up, were resolved in a proper manner and not hand waved or glossed over or super glued ("hey its broken!" "bring the glue, we'll just shove it together and it'll be brand new!" no it wont T_T)

And i cant help but say this...KON LET ME HUG YOUR PAIN AWAY ;A;

Kon and Tim need so many hugs T.T

Thank you so much for your comment ♥ I'm really glad you got what I was going for - the whole not just hiding everything under the rug and pretending things are fine thing. (though I still kinda did it cause i couldn't bear to have it end sadly T.T)

they can have all of mine *hugs them both tightly*

sad endings are usually well and good for me but they leave me craving for closure and that is just...a bad bad feeling y' know? I GET the angst angle of it but...more of just yells "BUT HOW DOES IT GET RESOLVED?! /shakes screen!" so this? is just beauty in words <3
