(")I mean, if you weren’t together, then what were you?”

Ryan looks at Aaron for a couple of long minutes before shaking his head. “I guess that’s like, the million-dollar question.”

And the crux of the story, I'm thinking. Here you have these beautiful people to play with as characters, these funny moments as they go about their young lives, and you instead of just giving us PWP you have this emotional underpinning. Is it love, or lust? Should it matter, and from whose perspective? Can MP be a whole person - does he even want to be? - or is it too late? Is what he's done truly unforgivable? (Certainly could be, were this real life...) Thanks for not taking the easy way out (though the hot scenes are also deeply appreciated ;) ) but instead building on that real foundation and touching on these things.

I don't even know how to respond to your comment, honestly, aside from saying thank you. And thank you, thank you, thank you. <333

Every single second of reading this was torture (in the good, plot way) while I waited for Ryan's reaction to the accident.

AHHHHH.

You are seriously going to give me a heart attack.

[caelumi]

LOL and I didn't even give him the time for much of one! Haha, sorry. <333

okay, so I'm basically a professional lurker at olympicslash, but I feel the need to come out of hiding to FINALLY comment on this story because let's be honest now, it's always the highlight of my week. Like, there are just so many amazingly awesome things about it that I can't even begin to list them. I've been in love with this ever since it started and I legitimately wait for new chapters every week.

The one thing that has struck me over and over again about this fic is how well you've fleshed out all of the secondary characters. I feel like most Phelps/Lochte I've read concentrates solely on the boys, or throws a couple other of the Olympic team in but doesn't really give them a personality. In this, however, I feel absolutely connected to every character. Every single one of them is so well-defined and has such a definite personality, and I love that.

I mean, just... keep up the great work! This is seriously one of the best fics I've ever read, can't wait for next week!

#^_^# <333 Thank you! It's always nice to see people come out of the woodwork, lol.

Honestly, most of my stuff really is just short little vignettes of a single pair of guys... but once this story started getting more involved I felt like, well, the more the merrier. And it's not like I don't get anything out of it; they're fun to write. ^_^

Glad to have you lurking! <333

I still hate Vendt LOL but yeah ok, guess I can accept the apology :/

And poor Ryan finding out on TV! He needs to jump on a plane and get to B-more

[caelumi]

HA! I am soooo going to make you like Erik by the end. Just accept your fate. ^_^ And come on, if a significant other pulled that shit on you, would you just jump on the first plane you could?

[agape_eternal]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

or taking from a fave movie of mine, "NEVER!" XD

LOL I didn't, so no, I couldn't say that I would. But Ryan and I are different and RYAN needs to lol

[caelumi]

YOU WILL! And pshaw, whatever. Ryan's gonna go get himself all the medals in Rome now that his competition's gone! He totally set the whole thing up!
