Full Circle
Brendon/Ryan, Ryan/Keltie || R || 2,030 words
When they first start touring, living inside of a van is fun, almost exciting. Ryan gets used to the tangle of limbs between cities, understands that personal space is non-existent in the confines of a 15 passenger van.

Notes: I have no idea where this came from, really. I'll just blame samedifference_

Oh, god, this just, this broke my heart. Why you gotta do that to me, bb? D: I thought the concept of Brendon needing Ryan's approval was incredibly apt and you brought that across really well, so it showed even before he admitted it out loud, and just, the different ways they fell together, and Brendon trying and trying (almost helplessly, like he can't stop) to bridge that final gap was so sad and so well done. (Also I loved that you didn't vilify Keltie.) Really, really amazing, I can retire from the net for the week in great style, now. ♥

My stomach hurts. Which usually only happens when I'm about to cry, so. My heart, jesus, it hurts,. This was...oh my god, I don't even have words.

So, I haven't read this yet, but Set The Fire To The Third Bar is probably my favorite song.
Better comment to come.

I think what I liked best about this was that I could read them out of order -- rather, in the order they were in -- and it still had an impact. And then when I went back and read them i - x, it didn't feel like I was reading the exact same thing, like it sometimes does. I... I'm not sure, that probably didn't articulate what I really meant. But, I really enjoyed this. ♥ I also especially liked their relationship, and how Brendon needed Ryan's approval. All in all, great job!

I'm glad you like that song. I enjoy that song so much -- i listened to it while I was writing the ending of this fic, and it just really struck a chord in me. I'm glad that you enjoyed the fic and that you could still be able to read it even though it was out of order, that makes me very happy :)

Argh, Ger, OW. :(

Beautiful, though, truly. viii and ix, in particular, made my heart clench.
