I really enjoyed this. I particularly liked the coffee shop scene with Pete and how the effects ripple out.

I really like this story -- my opinion that it's incredibly sweet stands! Your Ryan is charming. :)

I'm glad you like it! And seriously, thank you so much for the beta. I have gotten less thorough and balanced feedback from actual paid professional editors. You were super amazing.

I liked this a lot! Especially "it looks better on you anyway," that really hit home.

Thanks for commenting! I feel like this Ryan maybe never wanted to be the famous rockstar, but was still kind of pissed about everything else.

Oooh, I really, really liked this. What a fantastic take on Ryan.

I'm glad you liked it! I had never given Ryan much thought ("he's the one... with the scarves? Kind of mumbles?") but the mix was so lovely it inspired me.

I was going "Oh Ryan. :(" though most of this fic. The bittersweet tone and eventual healing here is perfect; I cried a bit with the rest of them at the wedding. This is the Ryan fic I didn't know I needed. Your characterization of him, prickly, awkward, stubborn but still coming around... ugh! I love it. Thank you so much for writing this.

That's kind of how I feel about it actually! It's the Ryan fic I didn't know I needed and her characterization is beautiful.
