Holy shit, Kyle, holy shit. I can't get over Kyle punching Mike even though I loved it it was just... goddamn.
And thank god Ryan actually said that Mike fucking Erik was a big deal, I kind of wanted to shake him for trying to brush it all off.
I love how everyone else handles the conflict like boys - choosing sides and picking fights. Except Ian and Aaron. I want to know what Ian said!
But seriously, bravo to Kyle. Damn.

~_^ Even I don't know what Ian said, lol. Glad you liked it, and yeah. It was just about time for Mike to get his ass kicked a little bit. <333

OH MY GOD.

OKAY. OKAY. OKAY.

KYLE PUNCHING MIKE. I FEEL LIKE HIS FIST WAS MY HEART AND IT JUST SLAMMED FULL FORCE INTO MICHAEL AND IT DIDN'T BOUNCE BACK.

God , I don't know if I'm the only one feeling unbelievable pain at the thought of Ryan having to see Michael get hurt, but I definitely cried when he tried to get away from Cullen and couldn't.

Mostly because I keep holding on to this little piece of hope that Ryan will just grab Michael and all of a sudden, everything will be okay.

Reading this feels like exercise. I'm always short of breath and sore when I finish.

And, once again, I hope you can understand that my comments are professions of love, not hate. They always come out wrong.

caelumi February 18 2009, 01:59:54 UTC

They don't come out wrong at all! Because... yeah. They just don't read like hate, lol. If you didn't love, you wouldn't bother commenting at all, anyway. At least not Nine chapters in, LOL.

<333 Be strong, bb. Love will come to Ryan. ^_^

I hope it comes in a Michael-shaped box.

I'm so bowled over by the awesomeness of this, that I don't know what to say. I agree with what someone above me said about the heartbreak being so visceral. Those feelings came rushing back to me as they happened to Ryan, and it was so... heavy and spot on that I actually had to stop reading and catch breath, clear my head a couple of times.

You're gonna leave us on the edge of our seats every week, aren't you?

caelumi February 18 2009, 02:05:20 UTC

Leaving people on the edge of their seats is just an unhappy byproduct of posting a work in progress. You could always wait until it's finished to read. ~_^

Thank you, though. As much as it kinda sucks making people feel the heartbreak, or cry (... who am I kidding? I totally love making people with fic. Sorry. ^^;;), it's wonderful as a writer to know that you're affecting people that strongly. <333

ok, Michael so deserved to have his ass kicked from all of them!!!! Is he ever going to be good to poor Ryan?! Please!?!?! lol Seriously, though this amazing writing!!! I read yours and I don't even want to write anything else! I know the good stuff when I see it!

caelumi February 18 2009, 02:21:15 UTC

<333 Thank you! But as someone who also gets intimidated by reading other writers? Write anyway. ^_^

And he will be good to Ryan, lol. Eventually!

I've spent the previous chapters as an apologist for Michael, but at this point, I'm very much "Go Kyle!" I have no idea if that was the desired reader reaction, lol.
Now I can't wait to find out how this will get better...
This story is stressing me out ;-)
Very well done.

Completely unrelated: I just noticed your icon and shoked on my orange juice. Poe gives good advice.

caelumi February 18 2009, 02:25:32 UTC

And forgot to put this in the other reply: iconzicons; there's a bunch of other Poe-advice that is equally fabulous. ^_^

caelumi February 18 2009, 02:23:07 UTC

*laughs* Thank you. ^_____^ And there wasn't really a desired reader reaction... I just really thought it was about time that somebody punched Mike. That and the fact that I thought it would be fun. ^^
