“Apparently, you miss your own little brother. Who died. Whilst skating - on the Thames, it says here.”

“Can you even skate on the Thames?”

“I don’t think so,” Gerard said absently, still reading. “Which is probably why he died.”

kdjfsdfhhd I laughed way too hard at this line.

This was so cute and hilarious and ugh, I loved this so much and had such a fun time reading it. <3

*g* It's absolutely ridiculous and we had far too much fun writing it (any excuse to put Gerard in a dress!).

Thank you so much for reading it!

Wow, so, replying - clearly not a strong point of mine. :S But thank you! We had huge fun writing this ridiculous, sprawling fic, and we're so, so glad you had fun reading it! It is, after all, just a bit of fun, so if you enjoyed it, it did exactly what it was supposed to, and we're so glad. :D

Thank you for reading!

This is beyond fabulous.

Mikey in a sailor suit! Brendon the maid! Gabe the matchmaker! Bob! Sentient magic. So fantastically fun. ♥

Aww, thank you! I am now blushing heartily (as, I am sure, is xaritomene, from the far side of the world) - your comment is far more than this fic deserves.

Thank you so much for reading it!

*g* We had so much fun writing it, I'm just delighted you had as much fun reading it! ♥ (Also, Mikeyway in a sailor suit may or may not have been one of the driving reasons we had to write this. ¬_¬ :D?)

Thanks for reading and enjoying it! What more could a fic ask? ^_^

Oh, wow. I laughed so hard at so many parts of this. Now I want the sequel, in which Gabe ends up flirting with and bringing one of the boardroom secretaries (Victoria???) to life or something. :)

Oh noooo, don't! We don't need to be encouraged! Gabe would probably get FAR TOO INTO IT and end up staying in a romance novel forever!

... yeah, that needs to be written...

Thank you so much for reading our totally bizarre fic!

*grin* We just had an absolute blast writing it, and I'm so glad that that came across, and it seemed fun (and funny, phew!) to you too!

...please don't tempt us. If we write that, it will end up being another monster like this one, and nobody wants that.

Also, I think Vicky-T might hunt us down if we turned her into a Harlequin bit-part secretary for the purposes of fic, and, not gonna lie, she scares me a little bit. :D

Thank you so much for reading!

Hee, this was hilarious and awesome! I loved all the romance cliches they had to go through, and the way they keep snarking at each other. Still can't get over the image of Mikey in a sailor suit! And awwww, Bob just trying to look out for Gee. ♥ I had so much fun reading this! :DDD

*g* Being stuck in a romance novel can't be easy (having comfort-read waaaay too many during my teenage years, I can safely say that the mere thought of having to live through one of them is pretty scary).

Putting Mikeyway in a sailor suit was probably one of our more sadistic moves. Enjoyable nonetheless!

Thank you so much for reading, you have made our respective days!

:D We had so much fun coming up with the romance cliches! We had like three other situations for them to turn up in, but time constraints killed them. Maybe we could do extracts? :D

Hee, oh, Mikeyway. I couldn't really take him seriously before (sparkly. bass.), but how he's always going to be in a sailor suit in my mind, which - lol. ;D

We had so much fun writing this, and I'm so glad it was fun for you to read! Thank you!

This is adorable, and hilarious, and so much fun! I have stayed up much too late to finish it, but it was totally worth it. :D

Thank you so much! It's far too ridiculous for words, and led to many emergency 4am conversations ("What if everyone hates it?" "We'll have to shut down the internet and pretend it never happened. And maybe cry."), but we had such a lot of fun writing it, and we hope you had just as much fun reading it!

(incidentally, I read your BBB, and then my internet died before I could comment. I just wanted to say how much I LOVED your fic, and now that BT have fixed the fault on the line, I will go and comment right away!)

*grin* I'm pretty sure we stayed up far too late far too often writing it, but we had an absolute blast doing it, and I'm so glad that you had as much fun reading it! Thank you! (And thank god you found it funny... such a relief!)
