“And that’s just the beginning.”

:O

:O

:O

THAT IS SERIOUSLY, SERIOUSLY CREEPY.

Like, I was reading along all, "La la, A.J., you so crazy, la la," and then the final paragraph hits and it's like . . . "Whoa. He is seriously mentally unhinged. RUN NICK, RUN!"

This is terrifying to me because it just ENDS. D:

I have a relevant icon!

Also, I must second americanleaguer, I love this:

Nick finds himself wondering why he wanted this tension. It feels heavy, like being down 0-2, like having absolutely no idea what pitch is coming.

YOU CAN'T JUST LEAVE IT THERE OMG

Yusssss.

Also, acknowledged!

I totally made a major edit to the end because I was really uncomfortable with psycho!AJ. >_>

[americanleaguer]

Start my nails right where you wear your eyeblack, and draw them down so it looks like you’re crying and sweating blood all at the same time. I think about your agonized cries and the scabs you’d have.

This is not psycho!AJ? :P

[cutfastball]

Um, now he's just "sad fetish psycho!aj" rather than "leave your body parts in funky places around the stadium psycho!aj".

You know I like this. :D There are a ton of really lovely images sprinkled throughout the whole thing and I like the little glimpses of other characters, like Damon and Joanna and such. And Nick's not gonna get psychoaxemurdered at the end. HOORAY!

[cutfastball]

horray no psychoaxemurder!

When I write, I frequently want to write sequels... I'm glad that, for once, I have absolutely no desire to continue this.

[emeh]

This was really good in a creepy, sad kind of way. Like Nick just wanted to help but found out AJ had more problems than he thought. Good job! I really liked the last part, especially.
