“Let’s go! Hurry, Greg! Chip’s going to be on this walk too.”

OMG, that made me laugh so hard! Love the new stuff you put in ;)

LOL, yay! Glad you liked the re-written beginning. Your point was insanely valid, so I decided to change things up a bit, and that's what came out of it, hee! ;)

Thanks again for your feedback. It's always so insanely helpful to me :D (And I'm glad you enjoyed it ♥)

This was all sorts of amazingly cute. I think I need an insulin shot now...

"“You, Charles Esten, can sing, dance, act, do improvisational comedy, play the guitar, run marathons, and basically bench-press me up like I weigh as much as a balloon, but you can’t ice skate? How the hell is that even possible?”" When you put it like that, he really is quite an amazing specimen of a man, isn't he?

As a side note, I am 23, and I've never been skating. Our ponds and lakes don't freeze in the winter, and there's no indoor skating rink for a hundred miles (or more) anywhere around. Sadness. Maybe when I move to New York I'll rent a cute improver to teach me in the dead of night...

LOL, aww, thank you! Yes, I know the insulin is appropriate right now. Though I did warn you that it was ridiculous fluff, hee! ;)

Seems like a lot of people haven't skated before. I suppose it's more common where I come from, considering we end up having winter for a good 6+ months of the year (bah!). But I'm TERRIBLE at it. Last time I tried, I couldn't even stand in them.

Anyway, I"m so glad that you liked it. Thank you for your kind comments! :D

Um, also, OMG WHERE IS YOUR ICON FROM?!? *dies* ;)

Well, it seems my internet is choosing this moment to show its true colors, so I can't find the clip, but it's from a guest spot he did in the TV show 'ER' He played a surgeon named Barry Grossman, and this scene was him changing in the locker room after work. Super hot. And amazing. And all sorts of fan-girl-tastic.

accordingtomel July 20 2011, 22:21:33 UTC

Ooh! I've actually been meaning to watch him on ER, so I'm going to push that to the top of my list! Don't worry - I have links to the specific episodes he's in and where to DL them. But HOLY CRAP IS HE RIPPED! Wow! *whistles* ;) You sexy, sexy man, you *grins* ;)

“Chip? Are you just going to let me wander around by myself at night in New York? What if I get mugged, or lost, or kidnapped and sold to slave traders? Or worse - what if I get lost after being mugged, and I’m kidnapped by a group of slave-traders who sell me to a man with a daughter named Bertha that they force me to marry, and I’m stuck there until I’m old and fat and my hair grows down to my waist because they won’t let me cut or style it?"adorbzzzz. to the max ( ... )

Wow, what an amazing review this is. On a strictly shallow/superficial level, I freaking LOVE strawberries and so having my writing being compared to them is awesome. But what I'm most flattered by is the sentiment behind the analogy, which kind of made my jaw drop. I tend to gravitate to writing angst, but these two pull the fluff right out of me, so I'm really pleased that it worked for you.

I can't possibly thank you enough for your kindness and I'm so glad that you liked the fic :D. And yes... I think it's safe to say that I'm sticking around, hee! ;)

I really completely adore how you write Jeff and Chip, this was quite perfect. Sweet and fun and amusing, good grasp of their personalities. I can't wait for more from you :)

accordingtomel July 20 2011, 01:06:06 UTC

Aww, thank you so much! I'm so thrilled that you enjoyed this. They are just so much fun to write that the words generally just flow from my brain to my fingers. They're inspiring, what can I say? ;) But I appreciate your kindness so much. Thank you ♥

Aww, nothing like a good bit of fluff to start the day. ^__^ This is exactly what I thought of when I saw the prompt, and I love the humour you injected into it. The only thing I would change is Greg calling Jeff 'Jefferson' - his full name is actually Jeffery. Other than that, it's wonderful. Great work! ^__^

clayangel July 19 2011, 13:50:55 UTC

But Greg DOES call Jeff "Jefferson." It's the reason there's confusion about Jeff's real name. Greg often introduces him as such before live shows, probably because Jefferson Davis was an American president, and it amuses him.

I would say it's relatively canon that he likes to give people nicknames (For instance, can you count how many times he called women "darling" on IAG? It was like every time he pulled one from the audience.) so I would take it like that.

rycolfan July 19 2011, 14:49:56 UTC

Fair enough! I stand corrected.

accordingtomel July 20 2011, 01:09:39 UTC

Thank you so much! I'm thrilled that you enjoyed it, and that I was able to help start your day with a bit of fluff, hee! ;)

As to the Greg calling Jeff "Jefferson", clayangel is indeed correct that I did it intentionally, since he has a history of doing so. That being said, I do appreciate the feedback, because I want to keep things as accurate/true to character as I can.

Anyway, thank you once again for your kindness! :)
