So I'm going to go ahead and admit that I was hesitant to read this for a lot of reasons. It's AI fic, and ha despite evidence to the contrary I'm silly and like to think that I'm not a part of that fandom, and it's in second person which I pretty much always turn right around when I find a fic that is in that tense.

But mostly in part to squee from Jess and Jenn I decided to give it a read.

And you know what it really is pretty great, the second person tense sort of disappears after a while. And I think a large part of that is due to the really great characterizations you have here - because it's not about you but the you ends up being a real character instead of just a sort of self insert the way a lot of fics do who use this tense.

It really is the song that goes with the video, and I really enjoyed reading it. I've only read a handful of Kris/Adam, but I really like the dynamics you have with them here and just the whole thing was really nice.

Now we'll see about that cover art, heh :D

And also, Jess and I aren't completely insane, we just happen to know good fic when we see it :P

Hey, thanks for reading, and I totally get the reluctance, because I still can't really believe I wrote this myself. Once I decided to write it, though, it was almost like I gave myself permission to just write whatever came to my mind, which, I think, is why the second person POV actually worked.

I generally avoid 2nd person fic as well. In the ten+ years I've been in fandom (now I feel old...) I've read maybe half a dozen second-person POV fics that didn't make me want to poke my eyes out. Even in fics that were well-crafted, so many times it just felt like the whole mood of the fic just turned way too melodramatic, or it just seemed like the author was using second-person in a "Ooh, look at me being edgy and different" sort of way when the whole thing would have worked better in first or third ( ... )
