This chapter was so good! I loved the little Julie and Tim moments. Becky and Eric are probably my favorite character's in this story though. Update soon;D

[lindentree]

Glad to hear you like Becky and Coach so much! They're both great characters to write. There's definitely more of both of them on the way. :)

Thanks for commenting!

Oh! Adorable! Tim and Julie as roomies is just irresistible (and huh, Coach Taylor? I wouldn't trust my daughter living with Tim Riggins either - the man is just asking for his bones to be jumped). ANd Tim hasn't had any since jail? Really? And doesn't want it? I thought sex was his way to deal with stress... Surely there will be some totally inappropriate woman that JUlie can be heartbroken about, yes? At some point?

ANyhow - love this. ANd Tim should absolutely read Lonesome Dove...

[lindentree]

Well, I don't want to spoil you for what's on the way, but this Tim really is a different person from the Tim we know, unfortunately. He's been through a lot, to say the least.

Really glad to hear you're enjoying it. Thank you so much for commenting! It's always good to know people are reading! :)

Oh heavens, I am having a horrible feeling about this... Too pretty for jail, huh?

Gah.

Will keep going regardless!!

[lindentree]

Okay, it might not be quite as bad as what I think you're thinking... But it's been a rough four years! There's a light at the end of the tunnel, though, honest! :D

[waltzmatildah]

Yay. A quick update! My favourite kind!

And I love the naturally progressive feel the build up to what I'm assuming will be their eventual relationship has to it. That ending, the last sentence that hints at where things might be headed...

Lovely! Thank you.

[lindentree]

Yes indeed! The majority of this fic really is written, I'm just tying loose ends together and fleshing out the last few parts, and once they're betaed, they'll be posted in short order.

Yup, things are headed in that direction... I don't think I could write the two of them platonically if I tried, anymore. Oops!

Glad to hear you like it. Thank you for commenting, it means a lot that people are enjoying this one so much! :)

Great stuff. I love Julie and Tim's interactions! I would have never thought of pairing them together until I read this and now it's all I can think about! :)

[lindentree]

Hee! Sorry about that. I see everything through Tim/Julie goggles; it's a bit of a problem. For whatever reason, I find them the most fun pairing to write, even though they're basically nonexistent as anything beyond friends on the show. Oops!

Glad to hear you're enjoying it, though. Thank you for commenting!! :)

[furousha]

It's cool! Now I have picked up the Tim/Julie goggles and wondering why I never thought of it before!! :D

[lindentree]

Yay! The more Tim/Julie shippers the better, as far as I'm concerned. If I may make a rec, give Transitory a shot. It's my favourite Tim/Julie fic. I've spent most of my Tim/Julie fics trying to come close to what chinesebakery accomplished, there. Oh well! :)

This. Is. Brilliant.

[lindentree]

Aww, thank you! So glad to hear you're enjoying it. ♥
