Oh Paul! Thank the lord he finally realized he doesn't need to worry so much about what will happen and enjoy what he's got right now.
I like this chapter and it's insights, more depth and less dialogue. Your writing is so diverse and balanced, I envy it right now.

I shall patiently await the next chapter!

What's the point of living a new life if you don't actually *live* it. :} Especially because he has a second chance, and if he doesn't be apart of it, then what's the point?

Ah, I was pretty worried because there really wasn't very much dialogue, but I think this part needed more introspection. I'm glad you like it!

Won't keep you waiting I hope!

When I was thinking about sending him back, I realized that he would literally be trying to control every aspect, it's just part of his personality. :} You're totally right about it being drastic for his character to just chill out and let happen as they will.

They're dynamic is something I will have the most fun with. They will certainly go through many, many changes, and realize things about themselves and each other. Paul is different, so naturally their relationship will be. We'll see how John adjusts . . .

Thanks for commenting!~

I absolutely adore this story. It's attention to detail and brilliant characterizations make it one of my favorite stories, and I always get so excited when you update. Now that Paul has loosened up his obsessive ways and realized that the future is uncontrollable, I'm excited to see the way you take this story!

Yeah! Now the story can start and Paul won't be so anal and uppity about what "needs" to happen. It was pretty silly of him to think he could control the future when really, no one can. I like to think Paul mellowed out a lot in his old age. :} Characterizing him is fun, though next section will focus a lot more on John. Hopefully I can keep up the standard. :}

Thank you for the support!

I love this fic, I enjoy that Paul is open mind and LET IT BE finally :). And I had an idea to chapter 13 (1966) I would wish to read that George had been married with me, my name Pat too, an illustrator girl from Argentina... (wwwawww) after all is a sweet variation in one possible future, just playing with the millon of posibilities - Congratulations for your history!!!!! Next chapter soon! (excuse my latino-english)

:} That pun about "letting it be," popped into my head so much when I was writing this! Lol, I think everyone wishes that future would happen for them too. :}

Thanks so much for the support! Keep drawing girly!

No problema. Mi espanol es mas terrible. Siempre.

It was really cool how I said something, and then there it was! I mean, I know you told me to expect it, but still, it was really mind-blowing.

I really like protective John, though I can imagine it must be irritating to Paul. Is he going to freak out about other things, or is that plot bunny completely over, and it was in there just to set up their new dynamic?

Aw, you're melancholy? What happened?

Re: This was cute fingersfalling May 17 2013, 06:43:14 UTC

Sorry for the late reply! Glad I could blow your mind though ( ... )

Ummm, yeah... Anxiety kind of runs in my family, and while my sister gets panic attacks, my thing is social anxiety, and critiquing you made me really, really, really nervous, so I changed it. Like twice, actually...
Thanks for addressing it though, it does make more sense when you explain it. I suppose my experience deals with a more deeply rooted anxiety than he was experiencing.
Is John going to "fall first"? That would certainly be a different way of thinking about Paul. :P
I like talking to you too, with all your wordy ways. And if you need any help with the writing, I would be really excited to read what's coming up before I'm supposed to.

Re: This was cute fingersfalling May 20 2013, 20:43:16 UTC

Don't worry about it! I love conversation and your critique is more than welcome, it makes me look closer and make sue it actually makes sense, lol. Controversial opinions create great conversations. Let me know what you think about things :}

Lol, we'll see . . .

Thanks! Beaks said the exact same thing about my wordy ways, though a but different. You really don't want to see what these chapters look like before they've been beta'd. It's scary to be frank. :} Lol, I really need to stop collecting Betas though . . .

Thanks for the convo~
