I like this! :) I was wondering if you'd be writing something for the movie after I spotted your post on it - glad to see you did.

The movie left so much unresolved and I will admit I was a little put off by the "better than you" vibe I was getting from Mike by the end of it. This is a nifty little string of scenes that manages to catch Mike's awareness that he's gotten out of that life and Adam's headstrong, youthful conviction that he's all good. (And would I be reading too much in if I said I liked the hints that Adam is enjoying his own kind of happiness? I'm such a sap, I sort of wanted a good ending for everyone there - drugs, polyamory and all.)

Also, hi, I am officially stalking following your journal now. And I talk too damn much.

I'm glad you liked this :D I like to picture Adam as being genuinely happy. His lifestyle isn't for everyone but I don't think it has to necessarily be deemed bad, as Mike and Paige implied at the end of the movie. I hope to write more and show him being happy with Ken and his wife :) Hopefully I can pull that off :p

Ah, stalking. The sincerest form of nearly-legal flattery ;p Hee hee. Thank you. And you've seen how long my comments can get when I'm excited about a fic :p so feel free to talk as much as you like - just be forewarned that I'm likely to return the favor :p
