YES! More! Just had to squee in fangirl delight. :) *scampers off to devour*

ETA: Okay, Lord, you are making this a rough ride, aren't you? Coach's words and attitude just gutted me. Ouch. However, good for Tim for loving that grounds job and giving Julie the due props for essentially getting it for him. Yes. And, yay for both Jules and Tim for wanting some distance from the respective fams (although, I'm also sad about that. . . ).

Okay, Jules is going to figure out the truth somehow, right? Cos Tim getting slagged on for doing something so selfless is killing me -- especially with Coach's opinion of him being so low right now, and how that relationship always seemed so necessary and beneficial to both guys. :( *sigh*

*crosses fingers* Another fine section! I'm still clinging onto this ride! :)

Well, I can't tell you exactly what's going to happen, but yes, it's going to be a bit of a rocky road. :)

Your enthusiasm totally made my day, so thank you for this comment. I'm writing as hard and fast as I can to wrap it up!

I'm always so excited to see a new story from you, and you never disappoint. I loved everything about this and am dying to see where it goes.

Aw, thank you so much! I'm really pleased to hear that. It's always good to know I'm not just writing for myself over here... :)

Glad you're enjoying it. More very, very soon, I promise!

Need more! This story is so great;D

lindentree October 26 2010, 20:09:59 UTC

Yay! Glad to you like it; thanks for letting me know! :)

Oh, I'm so pleased to come to the end of part 2 and have it finish with a sense that there will be part 3 (4,5,6, etc!).

I've never watched FNL, it's never aired where I live. But, I've been reading fic (mostly yours) for a while now and it's pretty safe to say that Tim Riggins is a character I could easily get invested in. I love how you write him and I actually love having no preconceived ideas of how he should be because it means I can just enjoy him as he is (all broken, and lost, and sad = exactly how I like my tv boys!).

Anyway, thank you for writing and sharing this and I look forward to what comes next.

Yes, there will be several more parts - it will be about 40,000 words or so when it's finished. Most of it is finished, just not polished. :)

Let me know if you ever want to download and watch - I have all of season 1-3 uploaded and available somewhere private if you're interested. It probably goes without saying that I wholeheartedly recommend it.

Thank you so much for commenting! Glad you're enjoying it.

You know what? I think I would LOVE to download and watch! BUT... I have a post doc thesis due next month and I've foolishly (??) signed up for NaNoWriMo so I'm gonna keep your reply in my inbox and take you up on your offer in December, if that's okay!

If I love it anywhere near as much as the last new show I got into (Breaking Bad) then I see thesis and NaNo going down the gurgler!!! Hahaha!

I very much look forward to the next installment of this piece and I will definitely be bugging you as soon as I hit submit on the last section of my NaNo!

lindentree October 28 2010, 16:58:55 UTC

I hear that! I'm rushing to finish this fic because of NaNo as well. I'll be happy to hook you up later. :)

I was supposed to be in bed, but then there were 2 chapters of a new Tim/Julie story from you, and sleep was postponed. But it was worth it. But now I need more. Tease. Can't wait to see how they get where I think they are headed!

lindentree October 26 2010, 20:13:08 UTC

Oops! Hope you weren't too sleep-deprived this morning... There will be more soon, I swear!

Thanks so much for commenting. It's always good to know that someone out there is reading and enjoying! :)
