A Song of Ice and Fire is a series of books by George RR Martin where characters drop like flies and it is fairly traumatic. You definitely learn not to get too attached! But for me with Jeremy it was too late for that anyway, haha. I love him.

Anyway, Simon's actions in the last part really were a big declaration in Simon/Jeremy speak. :-)Yes, exactly, and I meant to say that in my first comment and got sidetracked - if Simon wanted to show Jeremy how much he meant to him, that was definitely the way to do it. The only way for him to be more explicit would have been to actually say the words, but of course he wasn't going to do that ( ... )

Oh, Simon is a total dick in book three, between his horrible patient routine and (worse, in my opinion) his setting up Jeremy to be captured by Farraday (or at least not taking many precautions against that possibility). I think I struggled with the Farraday thing more than anything else. It seemed so cold. But I think we've discussed this before, so I won't rehash. :-P

A few good moments from With a Bullet that I thought of, where Simon's feelings seem to leak through: Simon asking Jeremy near the end of the shooting lesson (which in itself could be a moment! meep!) how long he's going to stick around; his admitting to Farraday that Jeremy is "maybe" his boyfriend; and then pretty much everything after Jeremy shoots Farraday, from gently coaxing him out of that vacant stare to cuddling him in bed (they were totally cuddling!).

Hahaha!
I LOVE those moments you mention! I just related the shooting lesson to my mom, who enjoys hearing about Simon and Jeremy more than my prattle about Dan Radcliffe.

Hee! Has your mom read the books?

Re: More thoughts about saying the three magic words ... dawnkj63 January 19 2009, 03:44:58 UTC

Nope she hasn't read them, but I shouted out things and explained things as I read them. Hahaha! So she feels like she knows Simon and Jeremy. Their story is addictive, you have to admit.

Hee, maybe she will read them someday, if she has a few spare days/weeks to get sucked into the storyline. :-D

I doubt it. You see when I was reading bits and pieces out loud, I sort of glossed over the bits that would make her uncomfortable. I mean she's fully aware of the affection and "contact" Simon and Jeremy had, but I didn't give her the "details." Heck, she's my mom!
