I cried. Again. And now my chest feels all squishy with the glorious angst in this part. I also have this earnest desire to read everything you've ever written. Right after I'm done with this.
This chapter is one of my personal favorites. I really liked how the convention scene came out. I'm glad you liked it and commented on this part. Can't wait to get your overall opinion. Thanks so much for the ongoing comments -- means so much.
You'll prob be pleased with the next chapter. :) But I have to admit their journey is not yet over. I can't wait to hear what you thought of the story overall.

Poor Jen, looking at the photos of Jared and Genevieve. Thank you for not having them actually enter a relationship or get engaged, I don't think I could have handled that!
Genevieve lifted up at this, eyes glazed, still smiling. “You never called me that be-“ Brown eyes met his, suddenly growing huge. “Oh god.” I'm so glad that you have her take this well and behave like a mature grown-up.
It felt good being with the fans again. They energized Jared. Fueled his self-esteem, and his sense of play. That's the sense I got from watching a con vid featuring him.
“Wait. I’m going to answer that one. But only that one.” He turned first to the young woman, but then directed his answer straight out to the entire audience. He moved his eyes slowly over the crowd, a sea of anxious faces. He kept his voice steady and strong and knew he sounded more Sam-like than he’d ever been in front of fans. But it wasn’t Sam that was speaking. “No.” Love this SO much, and then OMG JENSEN WALKS IN!! This is seriously one of the best parts of the entire

Thanks so much. I was typing a really long response to your comment and it just vanished so now I'm all grrrr. I appreciate your detailed comments so much. It's a pleasure to read what works and makes me learn and grow as a writer

Oh man, I hate it when LJ eats my comments! A few weeks ago I put together one of my looooong feedbacks filled with quotes and comments and meta and when I posted it -- *CHOMP* -- yes, it ended in tears. :) I've learned to copy/paste anything I don't want to lose into Wordpad.
It was up to Jensen now. His going to Jared was literal and symbolic and accomplished what needed to be done. That was so wonderful and perfect, a fabulous emotional high for the story. And it's such a *long* story that I'm amazed you keep finding these emotional high points, building up to them and then delivering.
I strongly approve of you bringing Gen into the story but not Danneel. She could have taken some of Mac's stuff but it just would have diluted Mac's character and I really enjoyed feeling like I was getting to know her.

I can't wait to see what you think of chapter 13 and the top of 14. I wrote the dang thing 3 times. I don't mean just tweaks. Full out rewrites! I thought the story would just die right there and I started hating it. But now ... well, time heals all wounds. :)
