Oh my. *blinks at the screen* This was just ... I mean, it was funny and light in places, but at the same time, it was stark and hard and real, you know what I mean? Chad getting HIV (I take it?), and really, the ending doesn't seem very happy. It just is, but with this fic, that's all you needed.

Wow, I am very much in love with this. Thank you so much for posting.

Thanks so much! I'm glad that it felt that way. When I was writing it, I kept hoping people wouldn't see it just as a 'sad fic'.

Oh, OW. Which is what I just said out loud to an empty room. Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow. Of course I want to beg for a sequel, and of course I expect the answer would be: There isn't going to be one, not all stories have happy endings. OW. And oh my god, so good.

(Seriously, I do want to know more about Jensen, who he is in this, because if he never really knew who Jared was, we certainly never knew who Jensen was, either. But I expect I'd better get used to disappointment there, and fair enough.)

Wow.

Thanks! And yeah, no sequels on this one. I made myself that promise before I even started writing it. I'm glad that the ending worked, I was afraid I'd get hate mail for it.

I can't believe you went ahead and posted a goddamn realistic not-hooker hooker fic. I just - WHERE IS MY FAIRYTALE ENDING?? There were so many moments when things could have been turned around - the whole Pretty Woman scenario, Jared reading the part in the script, Jared liking the sex with Jensen, Jared finding Jensen again - and and and. I swear you did it on purpose.

I actually think this has hurt me a lot more than anything else I have read recently - like, a deep, internal ache - and I'm actually on a bit of a SPN kick at the moment as well, rather than just hanging around the RPS. So yeah. You pretty much just handed emo!Sam and crying!Dean their asses, and I still can't really believe it. *blinks*

Ohhh, I can't even believe that I'm taking the ouchness of it as a compliment, but I'm also really glowing that you had this reaction to it. I started writing the stereotypical hooker fic and then I couldn't. I failed at it and went with a 'well, this is how I think it'd go' fic.

Yay! Glad you liked it.

*whimper* Oh, this is so stark and perfect and not at all what I want from hooker!fic. Poor Jared and Jensen and even Chad. Just the atmosphere and the sense of detachedness and yes. I imagine this will be staying with me for a long time.

girl_wonder February 7 2007, 08:30:26 UTC

Thanks! I'm glad that I made you happy even without the usual hooker fic fare.

Oh....the end. Oh, oh, ow.

I don't want to echo everyone else, but this hurt. You see Jensen's hope and there's the underlying feeling that maybe he's seen Pretty Woman one too many times, and then Jared just protects himself at the end and everything Jensen has been working towards - or working against, maybe - is dashed. The reader wants the ending just as badly as your Jensen seems to, and then we're just left wanting. Brilliant.

:) I'm so glad that you liked it, and that the ending worked. I worried about it for a while, but then I just decided to go with what felt more right for the characters.
