Oh my gosh. Didn't see that one coming. So glad that
Dean could get with the triad thing, but oh dear...
I wonder how bad the injuries are and who will find
them and wow.

Oh, good! I've surprised my readership!! Well, I will say that I never intended this story to be a tragedy, but I'll stop with that. Thank you for reading during these wackystrange times. ((hugs))

Oh, My! I've had a chance to catch up on what I've missed lately. But, poor Seamus! My heart is just breaking for him. Oh, oh oh! I'm so worried about the both of them. *sigh* Another wonderful piece of storytelling.

Yeah; I'd not planned to be quite so rough on Seamus, but then the story began writing itself... they'll all come to a resolution, though, never fear. I've written unrepentant angst before, and this is not that story. :) Thanks for coming along for the ride! I actually really want to get home tonight to get back on it.

omg. i absolutely did NOT see that coming! i was sitting here gobsmacked looking at the screen.

mood: tense

no kidding!?!?!

oh, btw - so much love for this line and the thought behind it:
Seamus didn't trust himself to words, fearing he'd say something that would sound as though he somehow loved Dean more because he was willing to let Fred into their twosome again… which wasn't really the case.

Thank you so much! I'm sorry I'd not replied before now; obviously I was distracted. :P

I'm thrilled that you picked up on that line. It's a complicated place for Seamus in that he really does want Fred, but he wouldn't give up Dean for him. He keeps pushing for both, though. ;)

Argh! Not again for poor Seamus! *wibbles* Although I think it'll be good for Dean to know that he can still do the rescuing thing for his mate despite his blindness and his own presumed injuries. Betting his Patronus goes for Fred, here.

I liked Dean's reactions in this; thought they were realistic, the outburst when Seamus suggests that a more permanent threesome might be something to consider, and then kissing/groping/whatever with Fred on his own.

Lovely to have this to read while anxiously anticipating DH, and as always, looking forward to the next bit!

Yeah, I've been rather harsh to poor Seamus, but that was just what came to mind! I'm terrible. :(

I'd not even picked up on the thought that Dean would feel protective and able to help; it's elements like that that you've alerted me to that make posting a WIP so fun. I've played up on that in the next chapter, something I wouldn't have thought to do otherwise.

Seamus is very human, but also loyal. But still somewhat run by his hormones… there's more of a resolution coming up. I think they've all earned it by now. :)

One of the things I enjoy most is the absolute reality of things...Seamus brushing his teeth, the cat watching him, the green spiky dye, the way Dean makes his way around the flat...and it's all intermingled with the narrative, so one can truly get a solid grip on Seamus and his world.

And Seamus' mam was a McGhinty, eh? *grins*

Dean's outburst is understandable...and so is Seamus'. It would be most difficult to have feelings for two people as Seamus does. Glad Dean seems open to the trio thing...

Brilliant conversation with Fred in the alley...I love how unapologetic he is about wanting to shag Dean...but then again, who wouldn't want to?

I can see Dean and Seamus in the darkened pub, all alone at the far end of the bar, the low lights from behind it lighing them from below...I loved the line where Seamus' heart lifted as Dean ordered the drink...very spot on.

And the accident is quite harrowing, and wrenching to read, even though I knew it was coming.

Another brillian chapter, luv. Your wordcraft never fails to

Yes, I'm terrible with all of the author self-insert. *wink*

I'm just so very, very pleased that this all rings true to life, since it's not exactly a topic you read about all that often. And I'm relieved beyond anything that the rections of the three men to their potentially changing relationship are different enough and still seem appropriate.

Poor Seamus and Dean. But The Author is still writing, and that wasn't the end. :) Thanks for beta'ing this section. I suspect there'll be another one by the weekend, and then I may be relatively close to finished, though I'm not sure. Seamus really does talk a lot, lol!
