[ fic ] ticking away my time ; chuck/jenny, gossip girl

[cassiehayes]

Fourteen years old.

This is her Cinderella night - a golden ticket to the world she only dreams of belonging to. It’s all dim lights and loud music and people laughing and a glowing bar, and maybe in the morning she’ll go back to being Brooklyn Girl but she’s going to soak up everything about tonight while she can.

She’s heard of him - who hasn’t? -

This is gorgeous! Your writing here is beautiful and I love the theme of age. Because I think it fits how she desperately wants to be "older" meaning independent, but it's not what she dreamed when she was little. And the similarities between Jenny and Chuck that you draw here are so accurate and perfect. I really really adore this.

Aww thank you! I know a lot of people really hated the Chuck/Jenny hook-up in the s3 finale and while I understand why one might as a shipper, I just thought it was a wonderful move as far as the two characters' development goes and with their whole storyline that really began even in the pilot of the show. I loved Chuck telling Jenny that that world only exists from the outside, it was such a great thing for the Jenny storyline which has been so powerful, really. I'm so so glad you liked this, I was really nervous about it since so many people hate Jenny and especially Chuck/Jenny, so yeah, thank you!

Awww gosh, thank you! That means so much, that I was able to make someone look at things in a new way, I think that's one of the wonders of fanfic, really, one of the things I love, being able to look at characters in relationships in ways that you never would have yourself, you know? And as for these two, yeah, I think they definitely have a fascinating dynamic/storyline - regardless who you ship! :)

-blushes- You're too sweeeet, awww I'm just so happy you enjoyed it!

You too!

She gives in to what she resisted; he gives in to what he’s regretted.

I loathe, loathe, LOATHE Jenny, but this fic was enjoyable and the above line was my favorite.

Ahaha, oh gosh, Jenny was one of my favourites tbh (Don't kill me!) buuuuut I absolutely hated how they dealt with her character in a lot of ways near the end, argh. I am very happy though that you enjoyed this even as a Jenny-hater, lol! :) Thank you!
