You know I already love this. Beautiful written, rich in details, and full of Helo love and compassion. And I like Gaeta so much that the two of them in this emotional state is just *guh*.

The light sticks still make me grin :)

[rebelliousrose]

Hey, you saw the epiphany with them (as did the rest of the Helo thread at Skiffy.)- like you said, museums everywhere sell glow sticks. ;}

Thanks for all your help!!!

I would give a lot (A LOT) to get this kind of treatment from Helo. Mmmmm...The caretaker side of Helo is so damned solid and comforting.

Gorgeous language here, just lovely.

*guh*

Could Helo please take care of me now? You show this side of him well.

Also, this bit: he’s under the impression he must have drunkenly experimented in flight school one night, because something about the muscular feel of Gaeta seems like it might be familiar. is so very believable and so very Helo. lol

[rebelliousrose]

I really worked on that sentence, I'll have you know. No one's commented on my very favorite one yet, but we'll see......

[mrsdrjackson]

*hands you a cookie for all your hard work*

You'll have to let us know your favorite once people are done commenting!

My best friend found it.....look down........

Oh, I love this. Oh, HELO. Just so...::flappy hands:: He's just so GOOD. And nice follow-up on stuff the show kind of decided to...not.

And little details like this-
Gaeta was never absent, just like he never spelled anything wrong.
and
Gaeta’s first name feels wrong on Helo’s tongue, sort of like when someone calls him Karl, but at the same time necessary.

really struck me.

::twirls you::

(Also, while I'm here and commenting- thank you for the comment-fic earlier! It made me smile lots. :))

[rebelliousrose]

I hope it worked for you- the only things I know about Ioan and Matthew are from you!!!

I can't quite get out how much I love this beyond saying just that. It's so...intricate and beautiful, I just can't stop looking at it. It's a wonderful piece of work.

[rebelliousrose2]

Wow! Thanks! And from someone I don't know, so you don't have to be nice!

[archerstar]

You're very welcome. It was totally well deserved. I think I've read it about eight times now and it makes me feel something different each time.

Heh. I know how that feels, getting good reviews from people who aren't your friends. It's a great feeling.

[rebelliousrose]

The rereading thing- THANK YOU for saying that. I have some fics I read multiple times, and that to me is a huge compliment, because when I reread, I rediscover why I loved them in the first place!
