Aaaiiii!

I do like the sense of the claustrophobia of the weather actually herding them together...

Mine is now published! Am very scared of how it'll look when I reread in the morning.

The weather really made the story for me.. made it easy to write.. it just felt right, you know? And actually transported me into the australian bush and time setting.. it really does seem to help when you know the setting you're writing about actually.

And i'm off to read your fic right now!! :)

I am friending you right now! I feel cold and grey from the weather just reading this.

And the sentiments here, the smothering fear and how the boys just *know* and still they gotta do what's gotta be done. Ack! True and horrible at the same time. *sniff*

And sex-ay, too. Gotta love the sexy.

*L* yay! New friends! :)

the smothering fear and how the boys just *know* and still they gotta do what's gotta be done

Yes, exactly. That was exactly what struck me the most and what I wanted to capture with this fic, so glad you felt that!

I'm so glad you liked it :) (and yes.. gotta love the sexy *L*)

wow. i love the way you describe things - the setting, the boys' emotions, the action. i haven't seen the movie, but i can just picture all this - the dripping trees, the grey drizzle, this brief respite from their doom ...

and this line, "Crying teardrops onto a floor of their own mortality" - makes me want to cry.

Thankyou! The setting was something that really wanted to be written and was really my way into the story somehow. And it just seemed to fit the mood entirely.. wet and doomed..

And i'm so glad you liked that line.. that's my favourite too ;) Just sort of struck me that trees are surrounded by their own dead leaves and that could be quite poetic.

Congratulations, M'am, you're the trail-blazer of a new fandom. *g*

Well, you know I love this and go squee all over it, but I'm giving you more feedback anyway, because I'm just so giddy with the Ned/Joe love.

My favourite line, far and away: ...let his friend lean on him, use him as a prop.

Yes! Because it just brings out so vividly, in just a few little words, the give and take of their relationship, the holding each other up, the mutual support, just the overall mutuality.

Beautiful, wonderful, delightful. Poignant, and it brings them out so well in a short piece, their uncertainties and the momentum that's been driving them along and that they're a little lost in, but they're doing what they can. All they can.

I also, of course, love: I’m sure I woulda gotten into more trouble sooner or later. Heh. We loves us some Joe, so we does. *g*

Re:

Hee.. more feedback! Now shall have to send you more feedback for your lovely story!

I'm glad you like the prop line.. it just kind of seemed to be how I saw it.. and yes, in situation and in thought.

Hehe.. we do loves us some Joe.. *g*

And I just really love the idea that they're in that momentum, in that flow, and they know (better than steve and dan) where it's all going to take them to, but can't do anything about it except be themselves.
