Guess who's finally responding to your comment? This guyyyy right hereeeee!
I honestly can't believe this story is over. I don't want it to be over! But this was sooo perfect and it made me cry. A lot! And I hold you responsible. I really don't want this to be over.
I can't believe it either. I was torn though. There's a part of me that wanted it to be over because then I could say I did it, and I accomplished my goal, you know? But there's a bigger part of me that doesn't want it to be over either, and since I'm me, that means I get to write epilogues. :-D
then I saw the (20/20) and the tears started coming. Cry counter: 1
Aww! As I said in the author's note, it was very difficult to write 20/20 in the title. Much more so than I thought it would be. That part of me that wanted to be done was in control then, but writing the 20/20 it felt like 'holy crap, this is really it.' :-(
Btw, the cry counter is adorable :-) As long as they were (mostly) happy tears ;)
I love that you brought Jeff's mom ( ... )

First of all, thank you for posting this. I've had a hard day today and this was exactly what I needed. It was perfect.
I just. I don't even know how to respond to all of this. Jeff's fears were heartbreaking and completely grounded at the same time. And Annie's reaction was spot on and I love how she kept pushing in and had some faith even when it looked hopeless.
The scene with Jeff and his mom was perfect. I love the fact that she knew about him loving Annie forever and you should totally write the scene of them meeting. (See how I'm keeping you around? You're stuck with me now.)
Jeff and Annie reuniting was already heartwarming enough. The confrontation was handled amazingly and Annie running up to him and hugging him is perfection itself. Also you just had to go and kill me with that "you should kiss me or you might regret it for the rest ( ... )

Well if it makes you feel any better, I cried when I wrote it. And when I reread it during editing. I hope they were happy tears for you though :-)
this better not be the last I hear of you ok?
Oh, it won't be. My "other projects" include J/A stuff.

Glad I could help! And so glad you liked it!

That's sorta how I felt when writing it. I mean, I'm not really trying to make anyone cry, but I guess I'm just glad I'm not the only one that had an emotional response to this :)
I love the fact that she knew about him loving Annie foreverI loved that part as well. I remember someone once talking about two friends of theirs and saying how "they're just so in love. Even when they're not in the same room with each other, if you ( ... )

*Does the happy dance Annie does when Jeff agrees to investigate the ACB case with her.* YAYYYY!!

A better word for it would be 'loved'!!!

Oh believe me, you're not. I can't even explain what I felt but it was all good. It was just so *right* while I was reading it. Everything surprised me and yet it all made sense.

Ok good ;-)
It's just you know when what you're getting is everything you wanted but didn't know and you just have to cry? That was this chapter.
Does that mean you've forgiven me for Chapter 19? I felt like Jeff needed to be broken down to his lowest point so that he would finally be forced to face up to his fears. Only after the wounds have been scrubbed clean can they begin to heal properly. So even though I hated doing it to him and Annie, I felt like it was necessary. And that ultimately it will lead Jeff to a better place emotionally and the two of them to a better place in their relationship. Jeff is starting to learn that he and Annie can overcome anything together, so he doesn't need to be so afraid.

No squealing.

Is it wrong that I hope it's because of the story? First off, just because then it would be because of a story, and not because of some serious life event or something. But also, like I said above, I'm just happy to know I'm not the only one having an emotional response to this chapter :-)
but I read this and it was the perfect last chapter
Thank you so much! I'm glad that you liked it. I wanted so desperately to end this in a good way haha.
and then your author's note made me all verklempt.
Ha, well I knew I wanted to write an author's note, and thank everyone. But then I started writing it, and I got all verklempt too, especially after quoting Jeff :*-)
Thank you so much for all your hard work and sharing this amazing story with us!
You are very welcome! And thanks again for helping to keep me going and stay motivated! It helps immeasurably to know that there are some people out there that are appreciating what you're doing!

At any rate, I wanted to reach out to you to see how busy you were and if you had the time to do a beta read for me of a fic I wrote. It's ~7600 words in length. I've heard rave reviews about your beta skills. :-) If you've got the time, great, if not, no worries.
Hope you're doing well!

Anyway, I normally would probably be interested in beta-reading for you, but as it happens we are right in the thick of moving from D.C. to Germany (!) and I know I won't have much free time in the next week. If you're okay with waiting a little while, you could send me a link to the doc and I could look it over when I get the chance! My fandom gmail is bethanyactually; email me there and we can discuss. :)

Thank you.
Thank you for your amazing story, which has made me laugh, cry (both happy and sad tears), and kept me on the edge of my seat during the paintball homage!
Thank you for guilt tripping me into leaving a comment on this in the first place. Once I did, I couldn't stop, and that made me feel connected to this story in a way I hadn't experienced before with fic. Especially when a stray comment of mine actually seemed to influence the writing...
But especially thank you for keeping this universe and these characters alive. During the anticipation of waiting for Season 6, during the stressful and confusing period that was Season 6 and most importantly during this last year when the prospect of new material is uncertain at best. People read and write fic simply because they don't want to part from these stories yet, because they feel too strongly connected to them. I don't have the skill to do what you do, all I can do is read (and ( ... )

You're welcome! I'm starting to feel like a broken record, but it really helps to know that other people appreciate the work you're doing. And I hope there were more happy tears than sad ones! Paintball ended up being a lot of fun to write, although I don't know if could do another one. I don't think I could top it haha. Plus it's been done so many times, it's nice to try other things. It was a lot of fun though...

Always leave your audience wanting more! ;-)
I always try to leave comments on the stories I read because I know how much I appreciate it as an author.
Yes... Well... It's no surprise I identify a lot with Jeff Winger. I'm a lazy s.o.b. with a guarded personality. I should be a better fic-reader and comment... No promises
And that led to Google searches which eventually led me to M/M.
Same method, same time period. :-)
I found the process to be fascinating and fun. And even if you never actually want to publish anything, I'd recommend that everyone give it a try at some point.
Mmmmmm... Maybe I will some day, I have enough ideas rolling around in my head, that's for sure. Again, no promises
But I was having a difficult time thinking of what the catalyst of all this would be. But then you asked the question after the second part of paintball about how closely it would follow The Terminator and whether Annie would get pregnant. And then I had my answer.You' ( ... )

George Costanza approves of this post.

Well, I'm a selfish s.o.b. so as long as you comment on mine, we're good :-P

Yeah, I mean whatever floats your boat. My first thought was that I didn't have the skill, then that I didn't know what to write about, and then that I wouldn't ever finish it. But J/A kept me coming back. It's amazing how different writing is when you actually want to write about the subject.
You're kidding!?! Hahahaha, that's awesome! You Model U.N.-ed me! Well, technically that would mean I have my own Terminator J/A fic in the works, which I don't... but still. Cool, cool, cool.
I also didn't get a faculty advisor. But if you want to form on gigantic United, United Nations, I'm game.
