I loved this. It was realistic and sweet without being totally saccharine. It's nice to see Ryan at his most vulnerable, because he puts up such a front in public that sometimes he just doesn't seem human. He's such a complex person, and I'm completely fascinated by him.

You unpeel Ryan and there are just more layers. He looks so open but he's really almost completely closed off. It's amazing.

Thank you, I'm so glad you liked it, and especially that you didn't think it was too fluffy!

Joel saw him in the hallway and leaned over to whisper, "You're glowing. Are you pregnant?"

That was seriously my favorite part. I totally clapped @ the Joel cameo. LOVE!

This was really great. You write them so well. I love that Simon wasn't overly hearts and flowers. This was perfect!

I love Joel's Seacrest obsession, hard core. And I'm so pleased you didn't think it was too fluffy! Thank you!

American Idol season has not started until Clio posts some Rymon.

Freaking adorable, as ever. I sometimes get really awful allergy attacks, so comfort-fic of the cold/sniffles variety is like one of my favourite ever things. Wish I had someone as sweet and loving as Simon taking care of me when I get gross, but at least I can enjoy it vicariously ;)

[jlh]

How sweet are you? Thank you!

I'm so pleased that everyone sees Simon as sweet and loving but still Simon; I'm always worried about striking that balance! So it's a huge compliment that you say so! Thanks!

AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW <3

I think my favorite line must be: "Right, I have no idea what that was, but here's the bathroom." So Simon, so great!

Ryan, you just want a big poofy dress, ADMIT IT. ;3

[jlh]

He wants a bespoke suit from Ozwald Boateng. The big poofy dress is for private parties.

yay, I'm so glad you liked it!

Usually this was cured by Simon sending him an x-rated email. But now Simon was here, warm and whispering x-rated things in his ear, and he hadn't come that hard or that many times since Paris.

you had me from there.

Then you REALLY had me when you put Joel in as a quick cameo! LOVED THIS!

Thank you so much! I'm glad you liked Simon and Joel and Ryan of course!
