YES! YES! YES!

Anything else I say here will be incoherent fangirling. ;-D

But you know how much I love the perfect play of angst and their issues in this scenario. JUST PERFECT. Beautiful. Wrenching. Scary. Dead on. You absolutely nailed this 'verse.

*swoons and sobs some more and then rereads*

Thanks again. I'm so happy you liked it and that it did all that stuff and fit into the world of the AU.

Loved it, a wonderful addition to the Jack/James verse. Man, I love this AU sososososo much . . . Anyway, my review's fairly incoherent and I apologize but this was great. The characterizations, the emotions, the sex, it was all done very well.

That was... GUH. When they fell in the pool? I fell off my chair. I swear to god. *flails* *adds to memories*

Wow! I hope you're okay! I'm amazed, and glad you liked it, and it's nice to know them falling in the pool worked. :)

I simply canNOT get over the quality of the writing in this 'verse. This story is yet another treasure to add to the already-perfect collection, and I am so spoiled, words fail me. I'd quote back the most striking phrases but I'd be quoting the whole story. Bravo.

Thank you! I've been amazed by the other stories in this 'verse as well, so I'm glad to hear you think my story fits in with the others.

Please post this at jackjames_verse. *whines* I saw you hadn't and it made me sad...

Well. I think I've already fangirled this fic enough for one day, but I think I'll do it again. This is everything I could want in this 'verse and so much more. It's so Jack and James, and yet so Jack and Sawyer, all rolled into one. You always make comments on the other J/J fics about how well they capture the essence of who they are and who they'll become, but I think this fic more than any of the others truly captures that. The tone, the dialog, EVERYTHING...*clings* Safe to say this is now one of my all-time favorite fics, J/Jverse and otherwise. The "I wouldn't let you go" line STILL makes me choke up.

Thank you a billion times over for writing this and for contributing to the 'verse.

Sorry about not posting it there...I looked and it seemed like you'd posted all the stories there so I wasn't sure if you were doing the archiving or what. I'll go post it there now.

I'm still so happy and relieved to hear that this story works with the others. The fact that you think it does those things I've loved so much in your stories and the others' is just the cherry on top. Thanks again for suggesting it in the first place, and for letting me contribute.

When I started the comm, I posted all the fics there myself that had already been written, so I can see where the confusion would set it. :)

Honestly, you are welcome ANYTIME to write in J/J land!!
