Oh! Oh! What a wonderful way to start off this exchange! :D

And now I'm really wondering about Stephane. I've always suspected he's a wizard, you know.

Thank you, I'm really glad you liked it!

And yes, I have my suspicions about Stephane.

Thank you for all your help and for this lovely comment! ♥

Amazing story! I loved Stephane in here, and I love how familiar Evan and Johnny were with each other. I really enjoyed Evan's voice in this story.

Thank you for all your help and flailing (so supportive!) and for putting up with all my Johnny/Evan. ♥

This was so wonderful T_T I love how the story builds up, and how subtly (but still noticeably) Evan changes as every day passes. I squealed so hard at the cafe scene (Johnny's and Evan's chemistry is absolutely perfect), and then squealed even harder at Stephane's text. I'm seriously biased, but i always adore the wacky, inscrutably wise Stephane that people write in non-Zebra fics, and the Stephane in this one is literally magical omfg (i love how it's only suggested, though). And Evan's character development is fantastic. He is simply so endearing as he slowly realizes that a) he wants Johnny's happiness more than anything and b) he shouldn't be afraid to embrace who he is; fics like these, where he's not just some derpy obnoxious bro, are seriously what stopped me 150% disliking Evan irl. I really, really, really love this.

Oh, thank you so much! I am also biased into loving wacky, inscrutably wise Stephane, so I just couldn't help myself. I am also very glad to have made you dislike Evan a little less, since I love him to pieces and want everyone too.

Mostly I'm just really glad that you liked the fic, though. ♥

This was just lovely. And how typical of Evan that his big romantic gesture was awkward and mildly embarrassing to witness! XD

I loved that Evan woke up to Gaga and Johnny was stuck with Jay-Z. This was really fun and bittersweet and heartwarming all at the same time. ♥

I just don't think he'd handle the stress particularly well!

Thank you! I'm glad the song choices work for you, too. ♥
