HEEEEEEE! I love it! A glimpse of love lost and heartache. Perfect!

[jaq_of_spades]

thank you! the song didn't say shiny, happy people to me, so a bit of self loathing seemed in order - and my logan muse is always up for that!

[heartandcore]

I really don't know where it was supposed to suck. You must be seeing things. ;P

This is touching, and sad and now I want to give poor Logan a hug.

[jaq_of_spades]

I cant help but think poor Logan deserved it. Must have feeling a bit gnarky of late, because there was a distinct sense of comeuppance to it ... but maybe KTG's next challenge will let me write a sequel-drabble that will be a bit happier *wanders off to ponder*

[deep_salt_water]

Definitely no suckage here!

I think it's a perfect little drabble. Beautifully written, and just angsty enough.

[jaq_of_spades]

Thank you, m'dear. I'm not confident in my ability to be write such a short piece and still have it say something, and say it nicely. Plus I always feel that the stuff I write quickly is a bit shallow or something. But maybe I just have to trust my Logan muse.

That was lovely. Bittersweet.
Nice job.

[jaq_of_spades]

Perhaps more bitter than with the sweet, I thought. And the title should really have been "Jaq avoids finishing the first instalment in her new series". It's nearly done, but I keep changing the ending. It's really annoying me. So - I wrote a drabble.

[jaq_of_spades]

PPS. Your new icon is lovely - you look faaabulous.

[sweety167]

Ah, a drabble is a fine way to avoid full length fic. And you've got a rather large endevor on your hands too.

All in all, it's always good to read a "little" something. :)

*sniffles*

Very sad and very good!

[jaq_of_spades]

Thank you! I hadn't written anything Rogan in so long, it was nice to get back to it. Even if I put poor Logan through the wringer ;)
