This is fantastic, I love space stories and stories with an element of sci-fi, you did a great job with this:)

Goodness, thank you! When I got the prompt, I just had to jump on the chance to write J2 in spaaaace!!!

[cassiopeia7]

Aww, bb, you are so very welcome! And thank YOU for trusting me with your baby! You already know how I feel about this story (and spaaaaace), so . . . ♥♥♥

It was a pleasure leaving the fic in your capable hands. Also, I totally guessed my recipient, and WOW, can we talk about performance anxiety? Scary! You're the best, kiddo, and thanks again for zipping it back to me so quickly!

Wow, I love this! The whole atmosphere and world-building packed into it make it seem like far more than 2000 words. I love the way Jared and Jensen complete each other, and I ADORE them growing old together in their new world. Such a lovely story! <3

eeeee! Thank you! I lucked out phenomenally with my prompts. Who can resist older!J2 in spaaaace??? So so glad that you liked this, kiddo.

So many space goodies in this year's fling! What a treat! And I loved how you wove this one with so few details, yet the world is vivid. The sense of their isolation carries over into their relationship too, so even though they mention other people being there, it's hard to believe they aren't alone. They are so wound up in each other.

Isn't it strange how thing like this come and go in waves? I remember this one round of bigbang where everyone seemed to be writing about dragons, and then there was another year where a lot of folks wrote non-AU J2's, and then the year where there were a ton of College AU's. Fascinating!

Very happy to hear that you like this, and that the isolation came through in the writng. Thanks!
