This is fabulous!

I've often thought how cheated Freya must feel about missing out on what we all take for granted ; knocking back beers with friends & experiencing that wonderful dozy feeling when you've had one too many , your first time with a guy / girl ( i know the movie doesn't touch on this too much but i came to my own conclusion that Freya was a virgin), basically all the fun things you do when you're trying to find out who you are!

Freya's had to forfeit all those things because of her 'gift' & it does make me feel so sorry for her! I love Brendan's concern for her & his acceptance of her reading his mind (sigh) - lovely stuff!

Thank you very much!

I fell in love with Thoughtcrimes as I was watching it for the first time, and I love the sense of displacement for Freya. She did miss out on so much, and now she has to try to get at least some of that back. Wonderful fodder for fic.

Thank you again!

Thank you! I'm having fun in this fandom/universe. Thank you for letting me know it worked!

This was very nice. I loved Freya adventuring out into some of the things she missed and Brendan being protective of her and keeping her out of trouble. I especially liked the way he was subtle about it in front of the guys.

Thank you very much! I just like the idea that Brendan would be a pit protective of her, especially knowing a bit about what she's been through up to this point.

That was very beautiful. I seem to notice that not many (if any) fics are directly romantic in the sense of Brendan and Freya but you seem to catch the undercurrents very well. Am I the only that went hmmmm at the end of the movie when Freya was fixing his tie???

Thank you!

I actually don't see them that much as a romantic pairing myself, but can understand why some people do. Maybe if the series had been picked up they would have explored it more and I would see it more. I see it as Brendan having a protective streak in him, especially when it comes to Freya, and her reveling in the fact that someone actually cares and wants to make sure she's okay instead of sending her away again.

I can see the undercurrents there though, and it would be interesting to know where they would have taken it had they been given the chance.
