Everything that’s going on in Ryan’s head at the end, and the way he justifies looking through the wallet, even though he doesn’t feel right about it, and the flashbacks… just wow.

You’ve got a lot going on here, and a lot you still aren’t telling, but somehow it works, it all makes sense, and I want to read more. Looking forward to the next part. :>)

You’ve got a lot going on here I truly believe that that's the nicest way you could've worded that. :)

I know it seems kind of weird, to reply to comments and just be like, 'OMG, thank you sooooooo much' (or something to that effect :P), but ... I don't know. I figure if you take the time to read and comment, then I should take a minute to ... acknowledge that? lol. And yes, I'm aware that I take fanfics far too seriously ;)

"You’ve got a lot going on here" I truly believe that that's the nicest way you could've worded that. :)

*laughs* I wasn’t dancing around a criticism, if that’s what you mean. I like ambitious, complex stories, especially when I can actually understand what’s going on in them. ;>)

And yes, I'm aware that I take fanfics far too seriously ;)

Hey, if taking fanfic too seriously means that you write better and better stories, and acknowledge the comments of others about your stories, and care enough to comment on their stories in turn -- if that’s overseriousness, I wish more people were guilty of it.

And like they say, if you don’t take your own work seriously -- who else will, right? :>)

dohhhhhhh wow. Pictures in wallets! I love, but hate at the same time, the way Ryan is treating their relationship. Like he keeps finding stuff about how Colin still misses their relationship and all that, but keeps all of his secrets and desires pertaining to it to himself because he knows he has to. I don't know if that makes sense but yeah. lol. I feel so bad for Colin though, it feels like he keeps getting embarassed while ran gets to retain his pride...even though we all know it's killing ryan to do so. ^_^ I can't wait for more!

I love, but hate at the same time, the way Ryan is treating their relationship. I don't think that should've made me as happy as it did O_o. *blinks* At least he's coming across like he is in my mind?

Although I think I've just come to, like, an epiphany about the way I write Ryan and Colin and their relationship in, well, every single fic ... namely who calls the shots. *strokes chin thoughtfully* Hmm.

Goal for future *makes mental note*: write a piece where Colin isn't being manipulated or embarrassed or ... anything else. Even though that makes him more ... cuddle-able? ;) But yeah. Getting back on track :) *shakes head* Sorry. Got distracted there. Thank you for reading and commenting =D

Oh, and yeah. It made sense :P

leatharegee February 2 2006, 02:21:24 UTC

Well, thing is, I see Ryan calling the shots too. I do think that they seem very much in character, it's just that well, I feel bad for Colin. But it makes him that much more cuddle-able...and also, usually, we know that eventually Ryan'll make it up to him. :P

"No-one else'd want to share with you, Greg," Ryan says, dryly, and Greg narrows his eyes at him. --- *cough cough* Now you're trying to encourage me to push you in the wrong direction... ^_~

Oh, that wallet scene is fucking awesome. I'm not finished reading yet, so I'll wait to go into more depth, but I just need to say that.

Finished now and you have me speechless and I need to think before I can respond, but I have to go get ready for work. I just wanted to reply to this because I've been an ass and have been taking forever to read anything. Hopefully I'll be able to come back and gush more later.

clayangel February 1 2006, 22:39:02 UTC

Okay, yes, so more now. Um.... That so got me routing for Ryan/Colin. Those two just need to hook up all over the place. And I need to kick Ryan in the head. A lot. ^_____^ And I wanted to say more than this... but... I don't know what to say. It was just... it's one of those things that leaves you aching. So yeah. That was good.
