I love you.

I can also imagine the look on Spock's face when Jim asks him "why is sex so lonely?"

and it makes me snicker.

:'D

Thank you!

It hit the right spots for me. Thanks for filling my prompt! <3

No problem!

Gorgeous. As an ex-cutter, the emotions expressed really hit home. I also found Jim's coming out to Spock to be very realistic, more so than what is ordinarily seen in fic. I was an emotional wreck at the end, so I love you for at least ending it on a hopeful note ♥

your welcome, and thank you! ^^

I'm an ex-cutter too, so... yeah, it was always really hard to talk about it to my friends. I tried to make it as realistic as possible.

yr stories about self harm ring very very true to me... thanks much for writing them!

it's been a few years since i really let myself do it, but the temptation is always there just the same. the stories remind me, there are other options.

^^ Thank you for that! I'm glad you liked it.

And don't worry, I'm too laidback to get all >:[ evil!grr! on anyone who sees a problem. ;) Just... what should I use instead of the colon?

I usually don't proofread before I post, so there are usually a few mistakes I miss. I try to reread my stuff a few weeks after I write it so I have fresh eyes... unfortunately, I usually forget! ^^;

Now, to the most confusing thing... what's a redhat?
