Ok, so you know I was waiting patiently for this one. Because you wrote it and I knew you'd have stunning art to go with it. So win/win for me. And it really was fabulous. Both boys were perfectly characterized. Even when Jared was at his bitchiest and most self-absorbed, I adored him. Of course, that just shows how gone I am for him, no matter his character. But like any good romcom movie, I spent a good portion of this fic wanting to kick the boys and make them get their acts together. In other words, perfect. Nice balance with the angst and tension and humor and everything else. :)
Thank you so, so much, Mel! Doing art was half the fun -- whee, visualizations ALWAYS help get the creativity flowing. :) I'm very happy that the characterizations worked for you though, because I was worried especially as to how people would take Jared (believe me, he was worse in the first drafts. Eeep.) And it was fun to write them basically at odds with each other until they realize they need to work together 'cause they're in love. ...and now I'm getting sappy. Hee. Anyway, thank you! ♥
Whee! Thank you! Yeah, geeky!Jensen was adorable, but I'm glad Jared worked -- I was so worried that people would get immediately turned off him from the start, but the boy's gotta change and that journey is half the fun.
And writing the sex didn't hurt either. Whoo! ;) Thanks again!
I totally love the whole thing: from nerdy Jensen and jerky Jared, to hot-and-smooth-in-Jared's-body and angsty-and-guilty-in-Jensen's-body, to the nicely played out schmoopy ending, w00t to all of it!
I'm happy that you liked it! Writing it was such a blast -- getting all the boys through the different ups and downs was a little hard, but worth it in the end. :) Thank you!
I love this movie and I really love your version of it. I love that you made it different and fresh and fit it with the boys instead of just a carbon copy recreation.
I'm really impressed with how well you kept the boys voices separate and "them" when they were swapped. It conjured great mental images of Jared trying to pull off his patented "bitch" face when he was cooking as Jensen.
Oh and yeah, the totally hot sex didn't hurt any either.
Thank you so much! Yay for someone else who's seen it! I hoped that it would be different enough -- had to stick in some references to the movie. I love it a lot, so I worried about certain things. But I'm glad it worked for you!
Hee, keeping the boys separate was a hard task but thankfully my betas helped just in case I messed up or accidentally had a wrong name in somewhere. It also helped that the very image of 'Jensen' pulling a bitchface lodged so hard into my head so I definitely knew I couldn't get confused over that! ;) Anyway, thank you!
I totally just stayed up to read this. I am sleepy and bleary but here's a stab at "coherent" feedback:
OMG Jensen. Dorkalicious science-loving cilantro hating Texas and GAY and JENSEN!!! Not Jenny. JENSEN.
OMG asshole!Jared. OMG TRL VJ JARED WITH DOGS AND CUTTING JENSEN'S HAIR AND MAKING HIM GET CONTACTS AND ALKJHD:KLSJFHB
Wow. I fail at coherent feedback. Okay, this was so much FUN to read and you're a brilliant storyteller and I have no familiarity with the source materials and I fucking love it JUST BECAUSE. And of course the schmoopy rom-com ending, ♥♥♥♥
And I think the hottest part was when Jared woke up himself again and just kind ogled Jensen all over, mmmmmm...
Eeee! I'm so happy you read this! The versions of these boys just LODGED INTO MY HEAD and I couldn't get them out. Aghhh. Dorky!Jensen and asshole!Jared have become two of my favorite things. *_* So, yay that they worked!

N'awww, thank you! ♥ I hoped people would give it a chance despite the film not being readily available or seen much. It was WAY too tempting to choose it for the challenge. I'm happy I had my lovely betas to you know, make sure I didn't go freaking crazy. Because it was CRAZIER. *nods*
And I think the hottest part was when Jared woke up himself again and just kind ogled Jensen all over, mmmmmm...
aghaah I WOULD TOO. That boy waking up is one of the best sights in the WORLD, I'd imagine. Mmm, shoulders and early morning grumpiness FTW. :D

And the sex did my head in, not to mention scorching with the hotness. Because Jensen is Jared and Jared is...*whimpers*
Such a wonderfully fun and glorious read. Thanks.
