fic: You're the ghost on every corner

So, it was estei's birthday about, oh, a month ago. And I am terribly late with this gift, because even at the time I thought this would definitely, definitely be done by like, June 21st at the latest. But the story and emotions that she gave me to work with were complicated and required a lot of self-examination to write about. And so I kept working ( Read more... )

bandom, slash, fic

i am posting first comment! because I am scared to death I'm going to read this and cry a lot? I'm going to *save* it. but just so you know i am ALL up in this bitch. so me not reading it yet is really a compliment about how I'm afraid you are going to have written it so effectively as to rip my heart to shreds.

..well okay. that was meant to be complimentary, but I fail at a lot of things, and that is apparently one of them? you know what I mean.

ETA: fluvogs = THE BEST.

Doood, do not even! I am on some kind of breakup fic kick right now because I am also neck-deep in another story that is all Brendon being pathetic, etc. I think, one year later, I may still be in some kind of total denial stage.

I don't have time to leave a real actual comment now, but I will try and remember to come back later to do so, because this is WONDERFUL. I am so many kinds of hurting and hopeful and comforted, oh man, you have no idea. Just. ♥♥♥♥♥

Thank you! I'm glad you liked it. It was a really good foil to this certain other breakup story I was maybe working on simultaneously. Or something. :)

I think it's a testament to how brilliant and talented you are that I read this context-free without knowing who any of the characters are or what it's about, really, and I thought it was absolutely wonderful.

WHY, ANNE. DUDE. I AM SO EMBARRASSED.

That said, it's not like I have some kind of worthwhile alternative that I would rather you read, so I will take your compliment all gratefully and stuff because your opinion is ridiculously important to me. Thank you!

I should be working on a job application right now.

Instead, I had gelato and coffee for breakfast while reading this delicious, delightful morsel.

Wow.

Seriously.

First: you're writing!! OMG! Isn't this what we were talking about? I'm so happy to see you writing! When I saw this posted, I was completely squee.

Second: ...wow. The words, the flow, the way you put things together...it's gorgeous. As always, a piece of art.

I know it's not my place to thank you for it - but at the very least, I'd like to thank you for posting it and sharing it with everyone!

I am bad news for everyone's jobhunt, it turns out. But I'm so glad you read it anyway! :D

I love this; sharp-edged and achy and bittersweet in the best possible way. This is my favorite kind of post-split fic, where there's *so much* anger and confusion and estrangement, but hope that there's a way to push past it.

And your Ryan, oh my God.

So Spencer went to Jon. So neither of them came to him. Ryan can recognize when he feels left out. Loneliness is the oldest feeling he has, the very deepest one he knows.

Oh God, yes. So perfect.

Oh, you are way too nice! I'm so glad it worked for you, thank you!
