8. Depressed in LA Dom.

Smoke pattern

Dom/Billy

"It's just really hard to stay grounded, everyone telling us what a huge success it's been, talking about the exposure, making promises... you know," Orlando says.

Dom lets the phone fall away from his ear until Orli's voice goes tinny and small. Try lying on the floor, it's working for me

Oh... that took me be surprise... *verklemmt* (in a good way)

Thank you! Often I find Dom and Billy difficult to write, but something about this meme seems to make it easier.

The raggedness and depressive state are like, palpable, solid and grey like a fuzziness in the air, it's just perfect. And the happy-ish ending reconciles, and, yep, thanks.

Thank you. :-)

Oh, that was just sweet. You could just wrap yourself up in that fic.

I don't usually even read this pairing, but you do everything well.

I don't usually write this pairing, but it's been easier lately; I adore them both. Thanks!

I'm finding all kinds of Dom goodness in your fic journal :).

He needs to meet friends with more time on their hands, people who aren't busy being more successful than him. But he gets lost somewhere in the midst of choosing the right trainers, and ends up on the floor again.

This is the perfect way to describe his depression. And the ending melted me... I liked it so very much.

Thank you, that's really nice to hear.
