Yes. Just... Yes.

I can't even. Begin. To. Wow. Just.

Beautiful.

Dude, that made me cry. It was just so... raw. And real. And fantastic.

Beautifully written.

And that last sentance. Wow.

It's funny because this kind of mirrors a relationship I'm in in real life.

Just amazing. Haha, sorry this review isn't very constructive. =/

I totally didn't expect a comment like this.♥

I was expecting lots of critique pointing out all the flaws I knew were there but didn't want to fix because it was supposed to be raw and it was never going to be perfect.

So, yeah, wow, I'm so flattered and glad you got it and, yeah. Thank you for reading and commenting and, moreover, for understanding.

This makes me believe in love more than anything. I don't really know how to explain it but I'll give it a try. I read this, I hold my breath for a few seconds (seriously, I'm not even kidding), I calm down and sigh, and think "fuck, this is something so pretty, one day I'm gonna be sitting next to someone and share that same intense content pretty feeling with".

The thing is, your fics are never truly sad. Just a bit melancholical. No exagerrated plots or anything, just real and intense feelings. True to real life. Mature.

And Jesse is so resigned in this one. Wake up call for John Nolan.
And then you leave. Looking everyone you see in the eye and hoping, just hoping, for anything that constitutes a reaction.
Perfect ending. That totally fits, feels right, makes sense, so John.

Knowing Jesse Lacey is like living in the tropics.
Humour in the nostalgia! Like it.

Also, I'm reading this while listening to 'A Decade under the influence' of TBS, and that makes everything twice as intense. Brilliant!

I read this earlier, halfway between listening to ATDI. I sat here with my CD half-opened reading it, and I walked away in a weird haze distorted by loud ATDI.

I like your writing style.

Oh my god, I think you just broke my heart.
This was absolutely perfect. Every last word made my breath catch and it snowballed until the very last sentence.
Wow. You're kind of amazing. Thank you.

Oh my. I can't believe people are still reading my fic even though I haven't updated in months. :x
Thank you for the awesome comment.
