Chest Pains

[ocelot_l]

Woo! Someone else was inspired to write a fic about 90s Kid and Dan after that heart-wrenching episode yesterday! Here's my version of what happened, filled with much more angst and hurt/comfort, because that's how I roll, apparently. :)

OH. MY. GOD.

...this is BEAUTIFUL. This blows my fic out of the water! I'm serious about this! I seriously started tearing up! Oh, 90s Kid...

80s Dan is so good to him. I hope the next one I write is as good as this. You are an amazingly talented writer, and this is one of my favorite fics EVER.

So emotional, so beautiful, so amazing. <3

Thank you so much for the beautiful words. I'm the one who should be bowing now thanks to all this praise. It truly means a lot to me to hear someone enjoyed something I wrote so deeply.

But don't say it blows your fic away! I loved yours, it was so cute and you had the two interacting in such an adorable way! I have a tendency to focus on angst and pain a lot, but your interpretation is just as valid. I can really see 90s Kid calling Dan, then going with him for comfort food and staying with him for a few days while they find... other ways to take their minds off what happened, lol.

So please keep going because I think you're very talented as well! I want to see what happens next in your version and I bet you have some great ideas about that! <3

I like angst and pain too, I've written my share of it! This one definitely worked well.

Now I'm thinking "fanfic crossover!" ^^ Hehehe.

[ocelot_l]

Thanks again. You are so very kind.

Hehe, I think I like it so much because I love woobies. And 90s Kid has been such a huge woobie for a long time now that I can't resist delving into how sad and hurt he must be.

Oh, what do you mean? Like writing a crossover with 90s Kid and Dan and some other series? Or am I misinterpreting crossover here? Sorry if I am, I'm still trying to recover from work, lol.

This was absolutely brilliant!
Jeez, last night's episode had a dark ending.

[ocelot_l]

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

I know, it really shocked me with how dark it was. I felt so bad for 90s Kid that I just had to write something where someone comforted him, and Dan was simply the best choice for that.

Somehow I knew you were going to write SOMETHING as a follow up to the most recent shock from yesterday's episode. I kept checking your page every now and then until it was finally here. ;)

Anyway, oh my god! Poor 90's Kid! I hope he's not actually hurting that much after the fact, but either way must still be scared shitless. I nearly cried out of fear for him and my jaw dropped during that part and after it was over. Damn! Curse Lewis for being able to get THAT much of an emotional reaction out of me over a comic book review show! He's good, he's very good.

I'm ashamed to say that I've only seen 80's Dan via cameos and crossovers, and not Brad's routine shows, so I don't know his character THAT well, but I'm really loving these fics where he and 90's Kid are the best of friends. They're really adorable and it makes a lot of sense.

Very sweet, emotional, pretty realistic aftermath of a fic! Thanks so much for leaving us with something until next week. You're one of the best!

Haha, I guess I am a bit predictable. But how could I not write anything after that horrifying display? I had to! It would have been up earlier if silly things like sleeping and work hadn't gotten in the way, lol

“It… it h-hurts… it hurts s-so much, Dan…”

“My… heart… he really h-hurt it and… I don’t know how to… to make it stop.”

MY HEART HURTS NOW AND I DON'T KNOW HOW TO MAKE IT STOP!

[ocelot_l]

Awww, I'm sorry! I couldn't help it! *offers hugs*

I would send Dan to comfort you, but he's too busy with 90s Kid to go anywhere at the moment. Just imagine how there will be lots of fluffy goodness and fun times between them, and soon 90s Kid will be back to his regular self!

[bookishlady242]

Those two lines are the ones that broke me. Just...oh god, I want to wrap 90s Kid in a blanket and feed him soup now!!!

[ocelot_l]

Sorry about that. I just can't resist depressing lines like that.

I know, I want to do that too! Luckily he has Dan there to make sure he eats and gets all the comfort he needs.

[ocelot_l]

Yeah, it is an interesting concept to put such happy, positive characters through traumatic events, and I think it helps bring out their inner kindness and empathy, so I like writing and reading about it. I'm so glad you liked it!

Thank you for your kind words! I'll never stop writing about 90s Kid and Dan being the most adorable, lovely couple ever, lol.
