Ric's voice was perfect here. I am admittedly pretty weepy, and there's a painful sort of ache in my belly, but wow, this was powerful, and lovely, and I'm happy you wrote it. ♥ these guys.
I'm so happy you liked it :D And yes, the Highlander crack seemed like a good way to start off Ric's advice list - I could see him trying for a jokey, bossy tone to begin with to try and put 'Star at his ease, before his feelings bled through in the rest of the letter.
I really, really enjoyed writing this. I was surprised that, of all the fic ideas I had rattling in my head, it was this one that demanded I put it out there. There's just something about that scene that I love, so I am very glad others enjoyed it. (And to think, I'm usually the one muttering about too much angst on the comm!)
Oh, man. I know this is just the second fic of yours I've read, but I LOVE your creativity. It was sad and heartbreaking but it was warm and loving too. And that one line...
Thank you so, so much for the feedback! I'm really glad you liked it. It's unexpectedly nervy putting one's first fanfic up on a comm and then running away and wondering WTF everyone will think ;) These nice comments might give me the confidence to write & post some more.
It's funny about that line. I got to 'use every goddamn second' and then stared at it for ages trying to think of the right way to harden up the end because I knew it should be the last line of the letter. It felt a little like someone else finished the sentence. It was a 'where in my brain did that come from?' moment.
Thank you!! :D Seriously, it's been so good to have such positive feedback from people. I was ridiculously nervous about posting this, and had to remind myself sternly that my whole reason for firing up the journal was supposed to be to get out there a bit with writing.
I really loved writing this, even though it was so sad. I already have a much more cheery idea cooking away, though. Fic is addictive :)
