OMG, Stan Stan the car man being the Porsche guy? That was inspired. :D
You picked such a perfect moment from Sarah's life to have her dwell on. That cancelled date really was pivotal. Great story.

Love that you had Stan as a character, I think I've only seen about 2 fics where he's even mentioned.

“Yeah right. John’s existence is pretty convincing proof that you do a whole lot more than kiss on the first date.”

ROFL!

Lucky Stan. He'll never know how much cancelling that date saved him ... lol.

Ever read "Afterimage" - it's a movie-fic, but it's Stan-based. It's really pretty good. I like seeing things from an outsider's perspective.

Haha this was great. Obviously I loved the Jesse/Kyle exchange of information.
The Sarah/Derek interaction was very real. They didn't walk the line too hard, just enough.
Thanks for writing!

A little more chatty Kathy in this one, hee! But still totally in character.

This line: “Valium?” he read. “Jesus, Sarah. All the shit we need to do and no one in that fucking house has their head in the game. John’s out finger fucking his girlfriend and you’re stalking Stan Stan. Judgment Day isn’t a fucking joke. It’s real. It’s - ”

I could hear Derek saying. And I like that in this, they laid all their cards on the table. The small switch in POV again came at an interesting time.

And Stan Stan. ahahahha. heee.

A thoroughly engaging read, as always.

Yeah, I tried to de-chatty this one and it filled me with woe.

WOE!!

So, it's out of character, but I love them spilling their secrets regardless ;)

Thanks!

As always your words and visuals are pure perfection and on point. Hmmm, I wondered how and when Derek was going to stumble across the knowledge that his nephew was the one who killed Sarkissian... and it was handled exactly as I'd love to see it on the screen. Kudos~
