We need more FNL fiction. This was lovely, and again, rang true. They would have silences that are not akward, and Lyla would not give up, and... I'm saying. Wow.

I liked how you hit Jason perfectly, how his voice was... calm and amazing and thinking about things needing re-doing.

And I love how Tim and Jason can maybe work it out. More of this, please.

We need more FNL fiction.

I've found a few really good FNL writers (callmesandy, hackthis, them0rgue and svilleficrecs come to mind immediately, in case you've missed any of them).

I'm so glad this worked so well for you! I was quite nervous about attempting this fandom, and I wasn't at all sure about writing Jason, so it's a real thrill that you think his voice feels right. Thank you!

I've never gone looking for FNL fic because the show is so good, so complete that I haven't felt the need for it.

But this is wonderful, and I'm so very glad I read it. Thanks for posting it here, because I might've missed it otherwise.

It's funny how some shows are like that - it sometimes seem that some of the poorer quality shows actually produce the liveliest fandoms, and I guess it's in large part because we *need* the fanfiction.

I'm so glad you enjoyed this! :-)

I replied to this at another link, but this KILLS ME,

everytime.

❤

In fact, I'll go out on a limb and say it's my favorite FNL fic ever.

Thanks again, so much! Your comments really made my day!

God this was so right on for me. I love your Street voice, all the things that he does understand and the things he doesn't.

I especially love how the hunting lodge only had one girl in it, but also had Rigs.

That just makes me blissfully happy! It's always an uncertain time, writing in a new fandom, trying to get the voices right, so I'm thrilled you think it worked!

Inseparable, those two. *nods*

Thank you for giving Jason some love! I think he needs more of it. I loved this fic by the way! I'm adding it to my Memories. :D

Writing Jason was quite a challenge, but I enjoyed it, so I'm glad you did too!
