Really loved this. I love Freddie/Cook/Effy in all variations and you captured them so well.

I used to loathe them but as time went by I began to appreciate their charms. Also I love how they are the Skins version of Big Love. Without the fundamentalist mormonism, of course.

Thanks for reading.

I FROOKING LOVE YOU, MATE!

I agree about them being close friends and gradually this manifesting into something more. I think the show conveyed a deep connection between the two which was something I wished to capture in this fic.

You were an absolute Beta CHAMP. Even after I scour my own writing there are still so many mistakes. Nothing gets past ole Eagle Eye though! You were brilliant. Special thanks for the wanking scene. I needed the extra, er, guidance there

(If for some crazy reason I ever meet your husband I hope he thanks me! ;) )

I want to write the napkin sniffing fic but I'm a little dislussioned with Tea right now. Although I think I'll eventually do it because....just thinking about it is sexy. That's a lot of attractive women in one room *leers*

Ok, so I know the story has very little to do with him, but I love your JJ. Going undercover even though it strictly isn't against company rules to find out what is in sweets is just perfect.

Other than that, Cook completely owns. I get that he's a total angst fest throughout this, but for some reason, I think I love him more because of it. Like, I know he can be better, and so I just want to give him a hug to get him there, and if that means being with Freddie as well, then so be it.

Basically, this solution to the triangle of doom would be far preferable to the non-solution that we actually got, really well done!

JJ's character's "voice" is the easiest for me to write, probably because he has such a distinctive way of speaking...in a lot of ways that makes a character much easier to write for. But he's adorable and lovely and although he isn't a big part there is an undercurrent running throughout of JJ's estrangement from his two best friends. F/C’s destructive relationship is alienating JJ from them. I think in a weird way he'd be relieved they got together as long as it meant they'd stop fighting so much and started treating him like a equal and not their special little brother whom they allow to tag along with them to parties. Anyway, yes, I love JJ <3 (*cough* new chapter of the bends? *cough ( ... )

Oh wait, I thought this was canon already? ;)

I'm so thrilled you like it. The show gave me so much material to work with once I started this story I couldn't stop writing. Jesus. All those heated looks and emotional outburts were totally leading to something serious. We all knew that. In some ways, I found this story the easier to write than my Katie/JJ one because there was so much material from canon to mine from.

Thanks for reading!

Those boys did want to fuck. I'm certain they AT LEAST experimented. I mean...come on...all that sexual tension was too hot to waste.

Hope the wanking scene was believeable. TMI and all that, but my ~bisexual~ phase was years ago so I, um, needed some helpful tips from Jules...

I will write at least a couple more stories, and yes, the Katie/Tony one is in the pipeline. I think I might get my Emily/Naomi/Tea one finished first because it is a) less angsty than the K/T one and b) I can write a sex scene where I don't have to quiz my beta how all the different, er, ~parts~ work. Plus I want to write about naked Emily. Sue me.
