Title: Epilogue [Zach in the City] Fandom: ST RPF Rating: PG-13 Pairings: Zach/Jesse Tyler Ferguson Word Count: 3K Summary: And two years later, this is where they are. (AO3) (The whole thing at AO3)
Yay! I love the tweet ending. It took me a while to wrap my mind around CPine and KBell, but why not?
I really like the perception shift in this fic; in RPF we generally treat Zach as the brave, open, honest one in contrast to a partner who's so closeted he, like, dates girls and acts like he enjoys it. It's really interesting to highlight the contrast between Zach's and Jesse's relative positions instead, to have Zach on the wrong side of Jesse's ultimatum, and to be reminded that outside of happy fantasyland, he's still making a life choice that's got a significant personal cost.
Ha yeah Pine and KBell side-swiped me, too, but WHY NOT. She's only the most amazing woman on the planet.
Thanks so much -- I'm so glad that came across, the whole 'by the way, even when both partners are gay there are still problems', and different characters bringing different issues to the table. I'm rambling, but it was so much fun to explore and ONE DAY I AM GOING TO RESPOND TO YOUR EMAIL, PROMISE. I read it at work and it was fucking fascinating. ♥ But, yes! Thank you for sticking with this!
Seriously, I'm going to be thinking of this fic every time I watch Modern Family now and wishing this will someday happen.
I love LOVE Zach's stupid terrible tragedies about what if his pets fall in love with Jesse too, and oh noes, his boyfriend got nominated for an Emmy, now he's going to get dumped. Just, omg, I was laughing and crying at the same time. And them consoling Chris over his breakup! And Zach's DANCING, LOL. That's totally how I dance, too.
KBell and CPine make an adorable couple, and I've never even thought about the pairing before, but I kind of ship it now.
OMG THE WEDDING TWEETS. <3 <3 <3
BASICALLY, YOU ARE A GENIUS, AND I LOVE THIS AMAZING FIC.
ALSO, YES. A REBOOT OF THE WHALE MOVIE WOULD BE FUCKING EPIC AND NEEDS TO HAPPEN, STAT!
That was fantastic!!!!!Such a lovely, happy final chapter. I'm going to abuse exclamation mark and capslock...
WEDDING TWEETS!!!! KRISTEN AND CHRIS!!! DR McURBAN HAHAHAHA!!! YOU ARE A GENIUS. And now I really want to read about ow KBell and Chris Pine got together. Because that should happen IRL.
Aw you couldn't lose me!! You drove me from lurkerdom to commenting, and then to capslock! I wish I could write fiction like you do, it's hilarious and heartfelt and just wonderful.

akjhsd OH GOOD, there's an audience for Zach/Chris/KBell -- I will file this away. For no reason. At all.
Hahahaha also "Zach's stupid terrible tragedies", god, that is so fucking apt for this entire story. I love it. ♥
