hi...longtime reader *shameface* first-time commenter :) Delurking to tell you that I love your writing and this was simply FANTASTIC! And prickly, complicated Jensen; oh, how I adore him! Thanks for sharing *slinks back into the comfort of anonymity*
Amyyyyy! I really, really loved this! This is definitely $10 well spent, rotfl. I liked the slow build of their relationship, and how Jensen wasn't a delicate flower inside who just needed love to open him up, he was just hiding himself for self-preservation. And I liked how he didn't really change Jared - they influenced each other, but they didn't make each other into something they weren't. That's so realistic, because people don't, essentially, change.
The last line KILLED ME. That was the best and perfect way to end the fic. Thank you so much, babe, this was awesome!!
Hahah yes, best $10 anywhere. Just like 13chapters who got Nathan in HS for $5. Man, sometimes stories just grip me and I keep going.
I'm SO HAPPY you like this. LOL to delicate flower, I've been using that phrase a lot lately. But yes, I like how there's no major movements between anyone, until the angsty scene, but it's still not an absolute yes, it's just there and they're going to work with what they have.
oh amy. i am so glad you took your time with this, and let it unfold over several years; it's fun to see how characters evolve and change, rather than always just staying in the moment (on the tree trunk).
it took me all day to read this due to INSANE WORK OMFG but it was so worth the wait. loved it; loved the underlying tension, that constant thread of discord, especially in the second part. like this story's teeth were set; chin jutted out; trying to dare each boy to just go ahead and say what they want to say. do it. i dare ya.
enjoyed this very, very much. i'm glad you had such a brilliant experience writing it!
Thank you Michelle!!! I'm so glad you found such great things in this without my pointing it all out. Like the idea of daring each other into doing something or saying something or just being something other than what they thought they had to.
Seriously Jess, this might be my new favorite Jensen, and you know I adore softball!Jensen, but I dunno. I like how inappropriate he is when Jared's trying to be real, and how he just always rags on him no matter what (maybe because that's me? haha).
Haha, I have definitely considered writing the makeout in the woods scene from when they're young ... I had thought of doing it in the story but didn't want to detract from the actual content and feelings. So that's a real possibility.
