FIRST!!!

But only because I had the awesome privilege of reading an advanced copy ;)

Anyway, Ella. Do you mind if I flail at you? I'm going to flail at you. Okay? Ready? Here I go.

This is the second longest fic that I have ever read in my fangirl life. I'm really not a fic person. Nothing against it, tho! I mean, I'll read it now and again if someone recs me and it's a short one shot or something, but for the most part, I just don't have enough time to do so, which is really a shame because there are so many brilliant writers out there! And you, my dear, I consider to be one of them after reading this!!!

I LOVE this story. LOVELOVELOVE. I took my sweet ass time reading it to savor the story (I read slow but part of the reason I do is because I don't wanna rush when I read and like to be in the moment :)) and it so exceeded my expectations with its epicness

I think I kinda like Shirphie!flail. I like it a lot! And YAY!!! Not gonna lie, I was a little, like, nervous? Or intimidated? Or something when I found out you were my artist! Because you have been in the fandom for so long but haven't been as much since I joined in, and so you're kinda like... a someone, you know? And your graphics and such are kinda maybe a little better than good :P And I know you haven't read as much, so I was like OMG If she hates it I don't want to be responsible for her leaving fandom in the dust! :P Which, ha, I know is not the case at all, but I freak out with the best of them ;)

Not TL! Not TL at all!! Thank you so so much for doing the art and not making me feel dumb and reading ALL of this and commenting and and and! :D Makes me happier than you know. For realsies.

PLUS. HEY. I'll see you in like 3 or 4 hours! Yay!

He held still as Noah’s eyes, glazed over and bleary, slowly moved in his direction again. He didn’t dare ask. He couldn’t. Then... Noah smiled. “I don’t think your haircut looks stupid.”

Oh my. Better than a whole "I can see."

"With a sigh, he tossed the towel away (then quickly picked it back up and hung it in its proper place by the door), and marched into the living room."

So Noah has taught Luke not to throw towels on the floor, huh? :)

“Yeah,” Noah breathed out. “I really think I am.” He paused, then, “I can’t believe Mason wears a scarf in the summer.”

Haha, that made me smile.

Wonderful story. Although it had me really scared there for a while, with all the blood clots in the brain and everything. You know how to write twists.

[carolinablu85]

Yay, thank you so much for all your comments! I really really really appreciate it. And ha, you caught that little towel thing, huh? :P I figured that'd be one of the first rules Noah laid down before he let Luke into the apartment. Now that he can see again, Noah is probably very opposed to clutter! Glad you liked this, thanks again for commenting!!

Wow Ella
I absolutely cannot tell you how much I am in love with this story
You're writing just amazes me. You gave each scene its own unique twist and it just seem to all just fall into place so effortlessly
I loved the sex scenes especially, so hot! The couch scene gave me goosebumps!
and I know you don't write them that often, but you need to more, you do them so well! (Just like everything else you write)

"Noah looked at him so sincerely, so genuinely, Luke was surprised he didn’t just die right there. “My movie. I got my happy ending. You said it wouldn’t happen in real life, but it did."
Nawwwwww Im so glad the boys got a happy ending

Thank you for such an awesome story! (And thanks Tasha, for the prompt!)

[carolinablu85]

aw, thanks Bec! The story was definitely a labor of love but worth it, I think. And ha, don't know if I'll ever be cool writing a lot of sex scenes, but knowing these seemed to work makes it a little bit better :) I'll try!

Of COURSE it's a happy ending, I can't see it any other way! Thank you!!

[newhaven183]

absolutely...positively...perfect.

could have been such a winner instead of what we were subjected to as viewers on ATWT.

flawless, Ella.

Thank you so much, Sue! I mean, it's definitely not hard to write something better than what the show 'attempted', but I tried hard! Glad you liked it :)

[carolinablu85]

Ha, "work and more work" sums it up pretty well :) But worth it for everyone's wonderful comments! Thank you very very much, Tom!
