D., this is gorgeous. Lonely Oz and trying-to-be-helpful Devon and Angel attempting social skills; the flow is sweet and clear and fast, your dialogue's *stunningly* well-voiced and in-character, and - Jeebus. It's so wonderful.

Didn't really own himself.
This is so very beautifully sadly resignedly Oz.

"Dude," Devon said to Angel, "You have no reflection. What's up with that?" Devon was staring fixedly in the rear view mirror. "Know it's not the weed."
Everything Devon says in this fic is perfectly Devon, but this? Is just above and beyond the call of Devon. I love it. Its close second is this - Devon pulled back a second, said, "Hey," and sweetly kissed Angel again. - which is so earnestly sexbunny and Devon I can't get enough of it.

"I can't really turn into a bat," Angel said, his forehead wrinkling up earnestly.
God, you know he's trying *so* hard. I haven't felt Angel-love like this in far too long - thank you.

Don't own anyone, not even yourself, and it's not the wolf, it's Daniel, Daniel who wants to belong to someone who ( ... )

Appreciate the wibble---I left the changing tenses in because I wanted the slide in perception. But I don't want to stop the flow.

Thanks, dude! I bow to you in all things Oz---and
Devon. Amazing how much fun it is to watch dvds
just looking at our Baked Boy singing onstage.

Oz sees his twin reflections in Angel's dark, dark eyes.
I would *kill* to have written this last line

Remix it, baby. C'mon, you know you want to. I still owe you a flight to Toronto and smoochies for writing "Advantage" with my
line. And I wouldn't be writing Oz at *all* if you hadn't encouraged me!

Oh, yeah, Actual Glue. So needs to be a story title.

This is beautiful! I loved the flow and the dialogue. Your Oz was perfect and, well, Angel. . .just wonderful.

I wanted to *be* there when Angel leaned in to kiss Oz. I want to know what happens next. . .

Wade deeper in those slashwaters, baby. Please. We'll all be there to help you keep swimming, specially with stories like this to read.

::hugs you::

Mmmmm. I haven't read much Oz fic, but you could convince me with this one. For some reason, the whole pick-up-a-hitchhiker, back-of-the-van-sharing-tokes scene is one that makes me an easy lay, reader-wise - it's such an intimate setting to begin with, private yet not, moving yet still.

Best part:

"Now you're just showing off," Oz says, inhaling.
He passes it back to Devon, on the other side of
Angel. They were all three lying on the mattress
in the back, propped up against the back seat.
"Used to think you were interesting before I
knew about the undead gig."

Now if that isn't a perfect three stoners getting to know each other in a way that could lead to anything scene, I don't know what is. : ) Looking forward to the what-comes-next.
