(Just fyi your link to part 2 still doesn't work.)

Really liking this so far, it's very interesting to read from Sean's POV.

I'm so sorry, I just knew I was going to fuck something up. Part 2 is here.

No worries, it wasn't hard to just go to your journal and find part 2, just wanted to let you know it needed a quick fix. :D

Came to second the above - I's linking back to this page. ;__; I'm looking forward to it, though.

Then sometimes his dad calls and he doesn't sound like he means it when he says he should go, and so Sean says, "hey, lemme finish, five minutes," and they pretend to lose track of time, and it's too late to be calling your parents or anyone.

That is such a lovely, little moment...

Thank you! I knew I had to do a bit more relationship building there. The strongest focus for me in this fic was on earning the friendship and loyalty that I wanted to Sean and Eduardo to ultimately share.

Just wanted to say how happy happy happy this story made me. I just love your fix-it Sean, and the way he learns - brilliant.

He checks his emails as he waits and runs over some numbers. It's a part of the job that he never expected to love, but it's a deliciously direct way to be right without having to argue (much).

And at the end I sort of want Sean and Eduardo to ride off in the sunset together - but then - your Mark gets me as well, so it's perfect the way it is. The way Sean decides that Mark is a bit too together and gets him drunk to shake something loose " because Eduardo Saverin’s his best friend, and if he went and fucked that up he’d turn into a goddamned mess".

Oh, it's so good. Please write more. Lots more.

hey, this is the epic fail of my gmail, sometimes it marks things as spam that ARE NOT SPAM. Anyway, I'm very sorry that this reply is so late

Okay.

This is my favorite fic in the entire fandom. The beginning is especially brilliant.
I can vividly imagine Sean returning to the office, everyone is still uneasy after after Eduardo's freak out and still pissed off at him for getting thrown into jail. It's the perfect opportunity and atmosphere for Sean to say to himself "Damn. I've got to do something to fix this, because it totally sucks *for me*." (only after charging it to an expense account of course)

Considering real!SeanParker claims to be one of the only ones who still talks to Eduardo, I find this story oddly believable within the movieverse.

I love this story, I love the dynamic, I love how Sean is a bizarre mixture of Draco Malfoy and Aziz Ansari. (he's also interestingly perceptive, especially regarding Mark in a way that isn't out of character!) I laughed out loud at this too many times to count and I've read it twice over 3 days.

Bravo.
