Thank you so much for reading!! Especially considering you don't really watch CF. MUCH APPRECIATED!

Even though you don't go into any details as to how Alex and Kelly know each each other, their connection feels real. I'm so pleased you found this to be the case because, on the one hand, I really didn't want to get tied down with complicated exposition around the origins of their friendship, but I did was/need for it to be believable so, YAY!! THANK YOU!

Did the show ever mention what pain medication he was taking? Yes and no. Initally, when he was injecting the drugs Shay was stealing for him from the ambulance, he was taking Toradol [it's a drug that's not available here in Australia so I did some research - it's an NSAID with opioid properties if used incorrectly]. As for the pills Anna was supplying him with, all we know about those is that they were narcotic painkillers [as mentioned by Shay during the meth lab fire episode where he asks if they'll show up in the drug test]. Narcotic painkillers include things like oxycodone, ( ... )

I WANT THIS ALL. RIGHT NOW. GIVE ME MOAR.
WHY ARE YOU PERFECT AT EVERYTHING.??
of course Kelly and Alex are best friends. OF COURSE THEY ARE. you are perfect. I love you more than caps lock. AND I LOVE CAPS LOCK A LOT OKAY?

but serisouly. once again. phenomenal. just. yes. good. very good.

and i want to know what happens next. and I want to know how many favors Kelly did for Alex back in bumfuck Iowa. AND I WANT TO KNOW EVERYTHING.

IF THIS ENDS HERE I HATE YOU. well. no. not really. BUT I'LL BE VERY STERN WITH YOU YOUNG LADY.

Because his pain. his pain and his fear and his if this doesn't work out I really have nothing/no one left and his cocky smile and his ability to know the intern but not really understand her at all. and his pride that Alex now talks in this weird foreign language. and that he looks down on the ground to see if the words that Andy's dead will spill out there is so gut wrenching, because you know that that's half the battle to fix him. that's half the war right there.

and i need mooar. plz? i has cookies.

HELLO YOU! AND FIRSTLY, THANK YOU FOR ALL THE LOVE!

of course Kelly and Alex are best friends. OF COURSE THEY ARE. PRETTY MUCH THIS, LET'S BE REAL!!!

And I'm glad that you want to know more because, now that I've actually got this written and posted [it was a mission, let me tell you], I'm finding that I want to know more too.

because you know that that's half the battle to fix him. that's half the war right there. THIS THIS THIS! I just wish the show would remember that every now and then.

and i need mooar. plz? I won't go so far as to promise it but, yes, I will say this. It'll probably happen. Sooner rather than later, too!

THANK YOU FOR THE LOVELINESS THAT IS THIS REVIEW!

YOU ARE VERY WELCOME MY FINE LASS.

I don't know why I just said that, but it felt good.

I won't go so far as to promise it but, yes, I will say this. It'll probably happen. Sooner rather than later, too!

what do you need? a first born child? I CAN GET THAT.

No rush, no fuss, because I know that if you do return to this, it'll be awesome; so you know, I can wait. just like. don't do forty years in the desert or the third season of Sherlock waiting, ya hear?

THIS IS THE ACTUAL MOST INCREDIBLE THING EVER! It's so real and so beautiful at the same time and so . . . just know that I cried several times.

This is the third time I've read it so far, by the way. The first two, I was wordless. This is what I've got now. I actually have more to say, though, so I'll be back much, much later.

Heee, I'm so glad you liked it!!

It finally freaking happened! Haha! I was so stuck at the end of the first 700 words that I was beginning to doubt it ever would.

I'll be back much, much later.

When I wrote these words, I was on my way out and I actually meant something like 6 am the next morning, not now. Firstly, real life was stupidly busy. Secondly, I've now read this so many times (and each one has been awesome - I've taken to reading it really slowly to savor it!), and I find it so hard to write a comment for because, honestly, it occurs for me as half-being directly inside Kelly's head, and half-watching his very, very real life occur. It's that good, and it kind of leaves me wordless. Also, I keep getting tears in my eyes, lumps in in my throat, heart lurches for him, and that's not much good for eloquence either ( ... )

Okay, so, firstly, I LOVE THAT PROMPT! But I just need to clarify a couple of things so I know that we're talking about the same things! Haha! Stag night? We don't use that term, but I'm guessing it's the same as a buck's night here. Which is basically the guy version of a hen's night* that the bride has before the wedding ( ... )

There’s a scar, faded white with age

Of course there is. OF COURSE THERE IS. BECAUSE HE'S BROKEN AND BEING HELD TOGETHER BY SCOTCH TAPE. Or Scotch.

Of course Shay's feet are bare. More importantly, what a simple way to portray exactly what Shay is for Kelly. She is someone who lifts him up (bare feet) while everyone else, or the memory of them, wears him down somehow (boots). Renee...the both of them. *sigh*

AND THEN ALEX ENTERS THE FIC AND ALL COHERENT THOUGHT IS LOST AS THE TWO OF THESE BOYS INTERACT AND EVERYTHING IS GLORIOUS FOREVER AND EVER AMEN PRAISE BE TO GOD.

He grins because, yes, yes he does. And he’s always been able to count on Alex to tell it like it is. He has (notice that I've made these two canon for quite some time and this is but a continuance of that canon for me). Alex is exactly who he needed to go see when he needed to get his shit together. *nods* Yep. Good Kelly.

And THIS: Alex, eyes still locked fiercely on him, slides the sheet of images from the envelope, twists then, holds the film up against the ( ... )

OMG, F, I AM SO GLAD THAT YOU LIKED THISSSS!!! I was all, OMG, catteo, do you think she'll like it? Will it be okay? Alex feels weird. I think he's out of character, REASSURE MEEEE!!!! And she was all, CHILLAX WOMAN! ALEX IS FINE!

So, mostly just, PHEW! I am so glad you liked it! Even though I am also sorry it wasn't Carrie/Jesse or Carrie/Alex. I still have them on my radar but, holy cowabunga dude, HARD!

Okay, moving on.

OF COURSE THERE IS. BECAUSE HE'S BROKEN AND BEING HELD TOGETHER BY SCOTCH TAPE. Or Scotch. HEEEEE! Yes! Haha!

AND THEN ALEX ENTERS THE FIC AND ALL COHERENT THOUGHT IS LOST AS THE TWO OF THESE BOYS INTERACT AND EVERYTHING IS GLORIOUS FOREVER AND EVER AMEN PRAISE BE TO GOD. The other thing that terrified me with this was that I really made no attempt to go into detail about their history together, to like, build a believable backstory for the two of them. And that was deliberate because I kind of thought it was beside the point at this stage, but I still NEEDED for it to real real. And possible. SO I AM GLAD THAT YOU ( ... )
