I have been stalking this fic on the kinkmeme since its discovery, and was absolutely delighted to find that a) it was completed and b) that you were the author.
I thought this was adorable and hilarious, and overall fantastic. Thank you for writing it.

SO, HI, I LOVE YOU THE MOST AND I KNOW I TELL YOU THAT ALL THE TIME BUT THAT DOESN'T MAKE IT ANY LESS TRUE. This is still all kinds of wonderful (and, dude, you know I'm happy to help you work out where the hell your stories are going) and snarky and hilarious, and I adore your Alex a scary amount. Also Sean and Darwin and Angel who are all amazing not!friends.

"You didn't flirt," he corrects, "you tried to hug it and you cried and told it you were in love with someone with lamentably bad hair. I was kind of impressed you managed the four syllable word." This had me laughing so hard, ohgosh. I can picture Alex doing that way too easily; we may have created a very odd version of him in our heads ;)

Anyways, I think it's awesome that you've un-anoned so people can appreciate it properly. LOVE YOU, PUMPKIN ♥

I really enjoyed writing this way too much, I think it shows ;) I need to stop writing cracky vampire stories at some point. Also I NEED YOU TO WORK OUT WHERE MY STORIES ARE GOING ALL THE TIME NOW BECAUSE I CAN NO LONGER DO IT ALONE AND THINGS. Also we have created the weirdest Alex, we should come up with more silly AUs to put him in (THOUGHTS, BOBBIE, HAVE THEM?) But really, thank you so much (and I had to unanon so I could put it all in one place, the eighteen comments thread thing got really confusing ;))

LOVE YOU CUPCAKE ♥

OMG this is the actual best. Both Alex and Hank are so adorable, and I wanted to hit them both upside the head but in a good way for being so delightfully clueless.

Just a note... I think something may have gone wonky with the formatting. The last third of the post is entirely in italics...

Thanks!

Whoops, I'd had this open in an old tab and the formatting was totally fixed when I commented. Sorry!

Also the little bit about Charles and Erik being actually married was so perfect I want to cuddle it.

My sister thinks I've finally lost it, because I've been grinning like an idiot the entire time I was reading this. This is awesome stuff, and I'm not even a fan of Hank/Alex! :)

I've been reading this story on the kink meme, and I am so happy to discover that you were the author! So much brilliance! I loved Alex in this-- so ridiculously awesome, and really lovely and charming in his own way. <3
