Thank you, sweetie. I'm glad you like it.

I am not sorry for ruining your mug dreams, it had to be done. ♥

And I still firmly believe that in this story, Ryan never stopped loving him between twenty and hearing Panic's last record. >.>

CLEARLY THE HEAT IS GETTING TO ME. :P

I love you.

I love you too. ♥

This is just lovely - I love the sense of history it has, all the ways they've changed, but also all the ways they probably haven't. I love the glimpses of their earlier relationship, the way they used to be friends and the way they used to fight. Well done.

Thank you so much. It is such a relief that so many people are responding to this.

Oh, goodness, this was just unspeakably lovely. The pace, the phrasing, just-- all of it is wonderful, and it's so careful and the way they are with each other after all that time - I read this a couple days ago but did get a chance to leave fb then, but it has been lingering in my mind ever since. Just gorgeous.

Ack! This is such a compliment! Thank you so much!

Oh man, I love this. I love the setting and your use of language and how fragile their relationship feels but how there's still that little spark of hope at the end. Love.

The whole time I was writing this, I was worried it would suck, so I am so glad you think it all works. Thank you so much!
