This is beautiful.

Really, really beautiful. The flow of your writing is fantastic, sweetheart and there are too many lines that I want to pick. But this:

They listen to old Rolling Stones music that inexplicably plays on the Mexican radio, sandwiched between a station of old mariachi songs and another with almost recent Spanish pop.

She’s wet and the sheets smell old and musty and he gasps, ‘oh, God, Lindsay,’ against her neck

WIN.

Oh, thank you so much! Coming from you - you with the fic-writing I drool over like whoa - this is high praise indeed ;D I am so glad you enjoyed this and I had far too much fun writing this, lol

Yay! A happily ever after, Bluth style.

I love this. The style is a lot like the show's, and it definitely works. Plus, Mexico! And a side of George Michael/Maeby! And GOB:

"You’re tapping that?" GOB asks Lindsay, on the couch, who wisely chooses not to answer. "Damn, you could have done so much better. I mean, you could have done me."

Perfect characterization. You're a fic-writing fiend lately, and I love it.

LOL Happy endings and the Bluth are just too much fun to write ;D

Thank you so much, love! I'm so glad you liked!

(And I totally am a fic-writing fiend lately, lol. I can't stop!)

Firts of all...a happy ending? From you? I think the apocalypse is upon us. And I love it.

Pretty much the highest praise I could give anyone--and you especially--is "Wow. This reminds me of The Royal Tenenbaums." But of course you did that intentionally, so it's kind of redundant. However, high praise from me also includes Wes Anderson comparisons, and this story read like one of his scripts. Of course, it's definitely got your personal stamp on it (the scene where Lindsay walks in on Michael masturbating comes to mind first), the rhythm and language could have easliy been in The Life Aquatic or Rushmore. So to sum up: this made me incredibly happy

[falseeeyelashes]

LOL I know, the angst fiend has written a happy ending! And I like it...happy endings might be my new thing, lol

"Wow. This reminds me of The Royal Tenenbaums."

Seriously, that is some of the best praise I have ever received. Thank you so much. It thrills me so much that I managed to pull off a Wes Anderson-esque style because - yeah, he's one of my creative heroes.

And you laughed?!?! I wrote comedy?!?! YES! See, I find certain things funny and they make me crack up, but I'm always convinced that no one else finds these things humorous, lol. I'm so glad to hear though that you did! Thank you so much for reading and thank you - seriously, thank you - for this wonderful feedback :D
