I am dancing, I love it that much.

I knew it was gonna be good when you started showing me bits of it, but getting to see it all at one go is just so ridiculously satisfying. Them just being them, from the time they were little to the last night of their lives as they know them-- just fabulous.

And of course Max will be a banana. I didn't know that was even in question. Sheesh.

[baroqueriot]

Heee! I am so glad it lived up to expectations. I'm pretty fond of it, too. :P

Max will have such an idyllic existence.

I have this theory, which is undoubtedly neither unique nor particularly insightful, that the reason Justin and Alex's relationship is so unusual is that there's this whole category of problems their parents can't fix so they learned at a relatively early age to rely on each other. Needless to say, your night-terrors-turned-real scenario meshed perfectly with this, and I loved the whole idea, especially Justin getting bitten (Wait! That sounds cruel!) Of course these kids have a crazy, co-dependent relationship if their parents basically dump Alex on Justin

Thank you so much for reading! :D

This was lovely. Do you have a ff.net account?

[baroqueriot]

Nope! But I'll get around to setting one up eventually, though probably after I set one up on AO3. :)

I'm glad you enjoyed reading this!

I loved it! It made me happy, and was well-written!

[baroqueriot]

Thanks so much! They make me pretty happy too-- I can't stop writing them, I should be done with another fic soon. :D
