Awww! I adore basement/attic fics... and the different takes that can be done on this.

Grandpa Bam. Sweet!

This was so sad though, but not so much so that it tore my heart out and stomped on it... just made it clench really tight!

Good job!

Thank you so much honey! I'm glad you enjoyed it :)

Maddy... that's not a fic, that's like real literature. That needs to go into a novella or something...the ficlets legit cousin.

god, talk about a range of emotion. Other fics have made me sad, but this made me cry and not a sad thing, well, bitter sweet? Nostalgic? Harbinger?
The idea of Bam as an old man, made me smile... he made it. But fuck, without Ryan? Would Bam even remain 'bam' without his Random Hero??

Just amazing, and you twit, now my eyes are red and puffy and I have to run to the store and try not to make eye contact with anyone!

(I know...I'm always late to replying to comments on my stories. A part of me sorta feels a bit vain actually replying, but then the part of me that feels its rude to takes over)

I'm so glad you enjoyed it! It just came to me while watching Bravo and it was one of the first times in a while I just sat and wrote something straight through with no internet breaks/waiting a few days.

ANd maybe four months from now something really great can come from this. ::winks::

I can't really type through the tears. I'll comment again in a few.

Okay, now that I have contained my blubbering, I've got to say this story hurt. I didn't feel bittersweet like the other posters. The story just hit a button or something. My last post literally took me five minutes to type because I was crying so hard I couldn't see the screen

[kavousi]

I agree, it hit a button and I still cant figure it out, but I think its in the fear range. It could so easily happen. I have a weird need to know that soul mates are always reunited.. so I guess that why I felt bittersweet too.

All I know for sure is that I cried, like somebody died kinda cried and I still dont want to go to sleep because I dont think I want it in my dreams, (I had a Ryan killed dream the day before...after that other fic) but this is def the most powerful and probably my fave thing I have ever read. Not the fluff/escapism I usually treasure, but so moving it will play in my head, probably forever.

[jycaegima]

Yes, I agree. It was that kind of weeping, like after a funeral, curled up on a couch, remembering everything kind of weeping.

Oh my wow....that's probably the best feedback I've ever gotten! I'm all fangril right now and I just love that you completely "got" everything I was trying to say with this, especially with the Philip/Bam comparisons. I wasn't sure how this fic would be taken since generally I don't like fic with orginal written characters, but...yeah....you're making me blush!!!!!

I can't imagine Bam living past like 40. Ryan I can see as a happy old man with lots of grandkids, but Bam...no, I see him doing something stupid and dying young.

**sniff sniff** This was just beatuful maddy. Absoulte love it, it was nice to see as Bam as an old man. Sorry this comments stink but that I'm still sort of choked up and that's all I can say right now.

[maddys_slash]

Thank you so much honey!!!! Your comments never stink, I'm just glad that I haven't bored you with my horrible repetitiveness in fic yet LOL!

[jumper24]

I don't think you can bore me. You always add something different when you write.
