OMGOMGOMG This is amazing. I've read it through three times now and I'm still not sure where to start gushing.
which he didn't even know was something girls did outside of his mother's romance novels. Not that he ever read those. Ever. When they're the only books in the house, you have to read something. Don't be ashamed, Eli, I know lots of boys who've read their moms' trashy novels! XD
He wakes up in his bed, alone in the dark, with a hard on, confused and distressed and, hello, frustrated. That last part sounds just like Eli! Ah, the greatness you have going on here~
"Oh no?" Rush asks, glancing at him, "watch me." Rush is so spiteful! I think poor Eli might have hurt his feelings by betraying him. :(
"We're not exploding," TJ says, "so it can wait." Scary!TJ mode! She's so awesome, you write her brilliantly.
Well, duh, of course, because obviously, it couldn't be him. It can't ever be him. Poor Eli! :,( He's just so awesome and no one seems to appreciate that.
She looks at Eli once, smiling a brief, slightly embarrassed
( ... )
Oh yay! I'm so glad you like it! I wasn't too sure about my Eli "voice." Or TJ, for that matter. So I'm so, so happy you thought it all worked out okay! :D:D
Rush is so spiteful! I think poor Eli might have hurt his feelings by betraying him. :( Heh, definitely. Poor Rush has no friends at all aboard this ship!:(
Eli!angst seems totally necessary sometimes. It's fun, but not fun, maybe more cathartic. I have to admit, as much as I love Eli (and I love Eli to squishy little bits), I completely enjoyed torturing him in this fic! *eg* Your prompt rocked. And thank you so much for the lovely comment! ♥
This is way better than okay! This is like awesome, on a silver awesome plate, with awesome sprinkles and awesome sauce for dipping in. >.>
Heh, definitely. Poor Rush has no friends at all aboard this ship!:( ...I'd be Rush's friend. He's a male version of my best friend, only, he doesn't hit people when they piss him off (though he probably wants too...)
I know what you mean. Eli is just so easy to write angst for, mostly because he's pretty open and so sweet. Schadenfreude makes me have to torture him, even though he's my favourite.
I'm glad you liked my prompt, I love this fic! I had to censor myself from gushing too much. >.>
I'm not much of a het shipper, and I can't really get behind the Rush/Chloe ship, BUT seeing it from Eli's POV as an angsty hellish thing I CAN see. And it HURTS!
Loved Eli's characterisation in this, the perfect mix of funny and sweet and heartbreaking. Very well done.
Thank you so much. There are so many wonderfully angsty things to do with Eli...(for some reason I totally enjoy breaking his heart). I am so glad you liked the characterization.

I really do want Eli to have a happy ending, although! :( Oh, poor Eli! *sobs*
