Can't think of a better way to end the day (Gabe/William, 7600~)
Warped. It's batshit crazy.

This is a fic for airgiodslv for the drawn_to holiday fic exchange. airgiodslv, if you weren't aware, is the goddamn batman. Big big big thanks to hatoyona for being supportive and there, from the very beginning. And using microsoft word's copy-editting thing for the beta! That was so cool.

Ah, dude, this was so mad and brilliant. Your writing always feels really - I feel like a bit of a wanker saying this, but it's true - colourful to me, vivid and exciting and intricate, and I kind of want to crawl into this world and visit for a while. Not live, because, uh, it's kind of scary sometimes. But stay for a long while nevertheless. :D (William and his rats!)

Oh my goodness, this is such a wonderful comment. Thank you very much! I'm glad you enjoyed the ride, as crazy as it is. <3

Oh my god, this was amazing. Absolutely insane, but so completely brilliant.

Everyone was perfect, too, but I think Nate!the Frog Prince was my favorite.

Or maybe Andrew! Andrew McMahon is absolutely precious and reading his interaction with William made me grin so hard my cheeks hurt.

All in all, one of the most entertaining stories I've ever read. I'm sure Jen will love it!

Nate the Frog Prince! I'm glad you enjoyed him, that was a very fun scene to write. Thank you very very much! <3

THIS WAS COMPLETELY INSANE AND PROBABLY THE BEST THING I HAVE EVER READ OMG. I LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT THE WAY YOU CHOOSE TO BE. LET'S HAVE BABIES.

But seriously, everything about this is just...completely mad and perfect. The characterization is amazing, even through the madness. ***_***

[savvygambols]

Awwwww, thank you so much! I am really, really glad the characterization came through the crazy, I was worried about that. <3 <3

I left you a comment before, but lj apparently ate it. CURSES.

Basically, it was:

OH MY GOD, WHAT JUST HAPPENED, I DON'T EVEN KNOW BUT I LOVE IT. I laughed so hard at so much of this - the rats, Charlotte Sometimes, Travis as a werewolf, Andrew's social experiment (OH MY GOD THEY HELD HANDS AND SMILED I LOVE YOU SO MUCH), Gabe's BDSM rumor, the alchemist witches stealing toes, "Preciousful is not a word, Michael," Gabe and William reigning - and it totally stole my heart. I absolutely adore William in this, borrowing Gabe's clothes (Gabe likes the way he smells!) and trying to make sense of things and ordering people around to keep Ryland and Alex from being killed. It's completely adorable and fantastical and wonderful, and I am so grateful. ALSO:

Andrew pushes his way on to the bus and says, "Hey, William, Billy, brother, I was just on my way back from yoga with the boys and I saw this dandelion. And I like, I thought of you." He sits down next to William and slings an arm around William's shoulders. The bandage around his arm

Andrew! I remembered you wanting fic with Andrew on Warped earlier this year and he just had to go in. He's too sweet to ignore, at the very least!

Anyway, I am beyond, beyond, beyond ecstatic that you like this! Happy Holidays! <3 <3 <3 <3

I did not entirely understand this, but I LOVED reading it.
