The way my mind is presently working: I refreshed el jay and was all OMIGOD THAT'S RIGHT SHE POSTED.

BUT. You know I adore all of this and will be more specific about my adoration later. For now, I will be content to squee not only about this, but also about all the tangential fic this has brought about:) SQUEE!!!
Hahahahaha. That's so you. All forgetting. It's not a big deal. I figured I'd post it before I forget about it and such.
I'm so glad that you adore it and THE STUFF THAT FOLLOWS in our email AU.
I picture Renee totally just...showing up. Maybe I'll spice up the second part of this with Renee's headspace and try to post it as a sequel or something. Get this Christmas fic DONE.
Or you could write me the epic story that includes snuggles and make outs and hurt/comfort moments and ED worries and "tada" moments. OKAY?
Or I could write you that when you go on vacation.
I have no idea how long he took to recover before season 8, but I imagine it involved reteaching himself some basic things, even though his body stayed relatively solid. idk.
I appreciate your comment so much. Thanks for reading!
so i'm almost crying??? i don't know what my emotions are doing right now but holy fuckcakes seeing a fic from you is the most wonderful thing and THIS MAKES ME SO HAPPY especially the ending aishfkjsahgjakg ♥♥♥
Jack squeezes the stress ball until he makes a temporary indentation in whatever the hell the sandy, cornstarchy stuff is inside I never actually thought about what was in a stress ball before this. :P
Grandpa!Jack makes me so SMUSHY omg and the description of Teri and her pajamas and dancing in the room and having trouble understanding what her relationship with Jack is supposed to be, just.... SO perfect. I love so much that you took the time to get an insight into Teri's mind there and show how she felt there.
He misses a place he can’t name or describe. It’s not a location, but an elusive, secure frame-of-mind that he can’t quite access; he imagines the ability to do so when he closes his eyes

Ahhhhhh. This is so EPIC and awesomely supportive! Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a thorough and specific comment. I am SO glad you enjoyed this and that it made you feel some Jack and Teri and Renee smushy feelings.
Hee. I'm pulling a you and seeing if there are any words hidden in your keysmash! Not this time, I don't think. LOL.
I'm glad you liked Teri saying goodnight to the moon. I don't often like stuff about my writing, but I imagined her doing that and I thought to myself "Well that's goddamn adorable and Jack would think so, too!" SO. I'm so glad that you noticed and liked that part.
So so so glad to have brought happiness into your night. Love you. Thank you for awesome support. xoxo.
So here we go with an attempt at better comments! Or at least some comments. I might need that coffee before there's any chance they'd be better.
BUT. Dude. DUDE. Dude. I just wish that every single day of life, fic from you would appear. Which I realize is terribly selfish and not possible, given that you're you know, BUSY. In any case, with the hope of finishing this comment before lunchtime, I will make a list of things I adore. It will not be comprehensive:P
1. Pondering the stressball and the entire tone of the opening, ending with the in my gut sucker punch of not everyone gets to be good as new. AUGH, my bb! 2. He missed her first words (apparently ‘Dad’ or ‘’dat’ -- no one is quite sure -- at the time she was pointing both in the general direction of Stephen and the treasured pacifier laying on the counter), her transition to “big people food”, her first steps. They’re moments he has to hear about in story form, the past tense chilling him like a cold front brewed in reality. More augh. Reading this again, I'm so glad I
( ... )
You DO need new icons. Let's try to do that in the middle of all the other shit today! Squee, I need more fic. I won't even have a computer in DE, woe.
I'm so glad you enjoyed it. I gave Jack a little more hope at the end than is present in the prompt lyrics, but that's just because I'd feel like I'd be condoning where they left Jack in canon by not letting him get a little better. There was much more potential for him post S7 than there was post S8.
(Apparently it's state the obvious day in my head.)

Great description of how Jack got back into fighting form relatively fast.
And Renee showing up making this an AU was a nice touch.

EXACTLY. That is the true question. Can they even sell a story in which Jack has motive to participate in...anything?
