Just for the record? josselin is unclean.

I still love her, though. But unclean is unclean.

Anyway.

Oh, I loved this. Agree with out_there on the end, but as a B/J junkie, I liked it.

Yeah, this was beautiful.

[seperis]

*hugs* Thank you!

Yeah, I'm debating the ending, too. Sometimes I like it a lot, and sometimes, I'm just not sure.

Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment!

oh wow.

achingly beautiful.

and poor ethan... i loved how you characterized him, because i like to think that ethan did love justin-- and it wasn't all a load of crap he spewed. he loved justin, and they should have had a good break-up... something almost like this and i hated that it was all over a trick in the series.

*loves*

[seperis]

*nod* He loved Justin, I do believe that. I often wish there was post-E/J fic out there, covering that time after the break-up. *mulls* It would be angsty and pretty and dark. All are Good Things.

Thanks!

I like this very much. I think it stays pristinely pure to one of the show's central themes -- that of Sex as Revelation. I thought the ending flowed naturally, served as the climax of the piece -- Ethan has been gradually making "discoveries" throughout, or at least admitting things to himself, and the rapid fire bam-bam-bam of the closing paragraphs just reinforces the discovery-and-sex metaphor.

Very nicely doe! You made me enjoy "Ethan fic" ;)

[seperis]

I'm kinked for "discovery during sex". Or "character development during sex". It's the hotness with the thinking-ness, which is a killer combo.

Thanks!

The way you guys used words and the imagery sucked me in, and I felt for Ethan. But I agree with another commenter in that the shift to omniscient POV at the end when the rest of the fic was written in 3rd POV limitted was jarring. It felt like it belonged in another fic.

[seperis]

Poor Ethan. Yeah, he got a little screwed over there.

But I agree with another commenter in that the shift to omniscient POV at the end when the rest of the fic was written in 3rd POV limitted was jarring.

*nods* Joss and I have been looking at that. I'm wondering if it would have worked better if we'd kept it tight in Ethan POV throughout.

Thanks for the comments!

[parallactic]

It might have worked better if you implied that Justin would get with Brian, or wrote that Ethan came across B/J 12 yrs later and saw them arguing about tile, and the company, and etc. If you wanted to keep the last paragraph (I liked it, but felt it didn't belong there.)
