Even though this is a break-up fic I can't help but love it.
I will wait for the reunion fic... please let there be a reunion fic...

dear lord. D:

this is so amazingly, beautifully written. you have such a gift. <333

[sir_yessir]

sdflkjsadlkf wow

okay

wow.

You know, maybe this is weird - actually, I know this is weird - but the way you wrote this was so utterly believable that I almost don't want a sequel/reunion. It's heartbreaking to read about them breaking up, but at the same time, it felt sort of cathartic. David's pain and anger and frustration are so clear that when he finally breaks and tells Cook to go fuck himself it's kind of a relief.

So... yeah. Wow.

I need a hug or a pillow to punch or something.

*happy icon is inappropriate*

ok well.

i'm very sad. very. heartbroken etc. very painful to read. i need to go find some healing fluff to fix me now. D:

but (and this is probably a first for me), i don't want it fixed.

I KNOW RIGHT O_O

but having said that, i would love to read a reunion sequel, because i cannot even begin to imagine how you would craft a believable fix for this.

:)

*demanding brat*

Le sigh. Carolyn, whyyy must you write so well that I read almost everything (Cookleta, anyway) you write, even when I don't want to?! STOP BEING SO TALENTED, DAMMIT. (NEVER STOP)

I don't quite understand wtf is going on with Archie, here, (eta: I should clarify: I know what you're going for, it was just... idk, I feel like Archie was overreacting and being a bit immature? But that's probably just because this is a snapshot of their relationship, with a whole past that would've taken you another couple thousand words to write and I could make myself imagine all that and fill in the blanks if I wasn't a wimp lazy so probably this is my fault which is more likely than it being your writing anyway... I forgot what I'm talking about. I love you?) but the emotions are beautifully portrayed. I actually mostly just felt bad for Cook, bawwwwww. :'(

Haha MY LATE COMMENT IS SO LATE BUT:

yeah, there is more ~backstory~ in my head, but i might expand upon in this sequel thing that i have been toying with. also, archie's not really experienced with relationships, but since it's from his POV he's not going to understand that he's overreacting. i like to keep a really really tight POV when I write, to keep myself and readers in the moment :3 but yeah i hope to expand on his issues maybe if i write the sequel. :D

glad you enjoyed it bb <33333 :'D
