Oh my god. My first instinct was to call you and tell you how wonderful this is. But then I realized it's still ass o'clock where you are, so I refrained. But! So awesome! I particulalrly loved:

"Holyshit.” He gapes at her. Blinks once. Twice. Regains (minimal) control of his tongue. “It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown.”

Hee! One thing I did not quite get was when Gerard says:

“I thought I decided I didn’t need the cigarette that badly. . .” He trails off as he leans over the railing to see if he can catch glimpses of his own broken body on the pavement.

Perhaps I am just sleep derpived, but it took me too long to realize when he meant. I got caught on his words and then when I read on I got what he meant but the words held me back a moment too long. *shrug*

Again with the love love love.

Yay! I'm so thrilled you enjoyed it, even if that bit was a bit confusing (I suspect I went a little too far in the not-explaining direction, sorry about that!). Thank you so much for the wonderful feedback. *hugs*
