that's a sweet little short fic. Very nice. I thank you.

[slashburd]

Glad you enjoyed it :) I needed some sweetness after last night's segment!!

Aww Lava so sweet....no where near where my brain wants so go >>

[slashburd]

I had to make it better. I was so far into dnw and getting all teary that there had to be something happy. I hope your brain deals with it better than mine did! *loves on you and SM*

Your writing my dear never fails to inspire. :) And yes, broken brains be damned, but we must write when the muse's tell us too. Even if they don't have the foggiest what they do to us.

Loved it my dear Lava, very like everything you write, it is gold.

You are wayyyy too kind <333 I just hated the way that segment ended and it wasn't going to be possible for my brain to rationalise that Shawn just walked away like that.

I know it's not real but it was just so sad and so well done. You're right about the muses that attack when they feel like it - mine gave me no choice :D Thank you for reading it though and I'm glad you enjoyed it <333

You're sooooo welcome <3 When he got out of the ring I was convinced that he was going to make it back in somehow, that it was a decoy and that they'd both go to work on Taker. When it didn't happen and Shawn was all 'You can't win' I was so teary eyed!

*pets the lovely boys* I hope they can reconcile their differences to end the streak. *crosses fingers*

What got me was when Hunter was on the edge of the ring shouting him back and Shawn just kept going. I was like 'Noooooooooooooo!! At least go back and give him a hug or something!!" :S

If he doesn't win I'm going to fly to Atlanta and slap Taker in his miserable face myself! If they pull a swerve where Shawn costs H the belt I think I'll just implode into an angry ball of flames!! My fragile Shawter fangirl heart can't deal with all this lol

(that said, I'm a definite +1 on Shawn screwing Taker over. This match hasn't been made no DQ for nothing. I'm predicting epic swervage and lots of blood now lol)

This would've bent my brain more if I read it last night. Luckily, I didn't chance upon it until today, when I'm significantly more calm and have food nearby me.

It's good. All types of good, really. No one really gets them like you do, and every little moment here shows it. They're friends, they're partners, they're everything and something like last night must've hit every single part of that. The "You can't do it" killed me like very few things do now, and like you said last night, it's those moments that make me want to stand up and weep in front of people that it's still real to me dammit.

God this was beautiful.

We all know it's scripted but words like theirs carried such an intensity last night that they must've been hard to say no matter what. I kept going back to last year's promo where H came out and told Shawn that he didn't think he could beat Taker, paused and then said he knew he could do it. I wanted that all over again, to see them being each other's backup. *sigh*

It's not as if they don't have some history of turning on one another. It's highly likely that the streak will continue but I just love seeing them together so much that it stung to see them so 'not them' I suppose :S

And you know how immensely flattered I am by what you said about me 'getting' it and that it was beautiful *blushes furiously*. I do my best to get them down believably and if I acheive that then my work here is done <333 Now all my broken fangirl heart has to do is get through Sunday. Wish me luck!
