This is just gorgeous. It felt like the very best noir film. I could see, vividly, Gerard standing in the alley, with the coiffed hair and the bright red lips, in the dress with the gun taking out the mobster assaulting her man. And there's a close up at her tear filled (or, maybe, determined?) eyes as she pulls the trigger. It was a scene I swear Ive seen in a dozen black and whites and it was all just so perfect! What wonderful atmosphere! This was a great read.
I love the drama, I love that it's a continuation of Shook-up World, I looooove that you involved grant in it so much, the idea of 20s!hair Toro makes me grin like a loon, and in general I find everything about this fic to be splendid!
EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS IS AMAZING, OMG, AND I WANTED IT TO NEVER END.
Gerard's transition from dressing like a woman being something he did once in a while to an everyday thing was amazing. And also just Gerard in general. ♥___; Fighting for what he wanted!
And Frank, of course, a good man in a bad situation, trying to protect Gerard, and being reluctant to go to California. So Frank. <33333333
And obviously: Grant, holy shit, all swoon-worthy and just going around the world doing good where he can. *_______*
And Ray with his little crush was so adorable! :D
Awww, I love them all so much! This world is wonderful, and I love the depths you've added after the first (excellent) fic. And I'm sure they'll be awesome and fabulous in Hollywood. :D
:DDDDD Thank you so much! This may be one of my favorite Gerards that I've written in a while, even before I had any idea of the rest of the plot I knew I wanted to write more about what he was doing all the years I skipped over in the first fic.
