This was painfully delightful, I'm really in love with it even though sometimes I don't know why I'm so damn excited to see these pop up on m/m only to fill my brain with angst. (And then I remember, oh yeah, it's really great writing and a fantastic summer story.)

Oh and Britta's text = perfection

I accidentally missed your comment, I'm so sorry! Thank you so much for reading this!

Everyone feels like they're subjecting themselves to torture with this apparently (including me), so join the club.

Britta is the only one who could get away with being that blunt with Jeff and having him pay any attention.

West Wing username! .....right?

Yet another great chapter! I don't know how you do it. I get SO STUCK when I'm writing multi-chapter fics. But you make things happen in these subtle ways. It doesn't FEEL like big things are happening, and then all of a sudden the characters are in a completely different spot at the end of the chapter than they were at the beginning of the chapter. Nicely done!

I loved this line: “Jeff, we are as good as we ever are.” She tucked a strand of hair behind her ear. “We talk without saying anything, have conversations without actually getting to the root of the problem, argue without resolving anything.” She dropped her hands to her hips. “Lather, rinse, repeat.”

Can't wait to read more!

Honestly, I write way ahead. It's the only way I can do it. And because I'm trying to get this wrapped up before S3, I have to stay as far ahead as I can. Thanks for saying that a chapter that involved Annie stripping in front of Jeff was subtle.

Thank you so much for reading! The last chapter you posted on your (awesome!) fic was 4 right? I'm trying to keep up, but not doing a great job.

This made me laugh out loud! But I really admire your work with this. It always cheers me up to see another chapter is posted! Today I got on LJ at the very end of my lunch hour, and had to practically sit on my hands to keep me from clicking on the link becuase I KNEW once I started reading the chapter I wouldn't be able to stop. Didn't work though -- I read it anyway!

I think the last part I posted was Part Five. I am working on the last two now, but I don't want to publish them until they're both finished. I don't want to write myself into a corner! I'm the worst at that!

Anyway, can't wait to read more. Looking forward to it!

Again, so much to say...but the biggest one is, Jeff's head really IS a messed up place to be.

I loved the phone conversation with Andre and Shirley. Andre's final comment before Shirley took the phone has me curious, though. What would Shirley be right about? And then her final words to Jeff about him not knowing why he's really there.

Throwing his head back in frustration, Jeff groaned inwardly. “Shirley, I am no-” He froze then, his angry gaze landing on what was happening in the kitchen at that moment. “I gotta go,” he said abruptly before ending the call and rushing toward the patio door. He paused, counting to twenty. Slowly, he stepped into the house and surveyed the scene before him, allowing his sudden and not entirely coherent hatred to ebb slightly.

I particularly enjoyed this. Jeff's just about done with his denial when he freaks out at seeing Annie with Sergio's arms around her. Ahahaha. I love the way you wrote that. Very well done.

Why couldn’t she understand the situation she kept trying to shove him into ( ... )

Jeff has serious tunnel-vision about Sergio. And Annie really deserves to be happy at least a little bit.

I love that you pick up on so many of the subtle things I am putting in here. I promise every question you just asked me will be answered and then some.

For being a bunch of J/A shippers, it cracks me up how many people want Annie to screw the cook.

Thanks for reading sweetie!

So I don't think I've ever reviewed on this story? I assume that because I so rarely review. But as I'm in the midst of my own first multi-chapter, I am coming to appreciate just how awesome it is to get them, and I decided I owed it to this story and one of my favorite authors to say just how much I'm enjoying it. Seriously, I get so happy when I see updates and just giggle my way through every chapter.

Also, Shirley calling Jeff out on his lack of subtlety = favorite.

Ooh! You're writing the Danielle Ate The Sandwich story, right? Do I have the right person? It's on my read list for this week if I have time. I got so excited by the title that I figured I needed to read it.

You're giggling through this and everyone else is saying how tortuous it is. I'm going with you on this one though I think :).

Shirley and Jeff anything is my favorite. Thanks for reading!

Yeah, that's me! I can't believe more than one person from the comm listens to Danielle -- as I just wrote to someone else, I probably would never have come across her if she and I didn't have a friend in common. It makes me all warm and fuzzy inside.

See, I think I'm giggling because it's torturous for Jeff, as opposed to being torturous for the readers. That's a tough tightrope to walk and you're doing it very well so far. Jeff deserves a little torture, if not TOO much more. Torturing the readers would be giving us miscommunication after misunderstanding after stupid, stupid fight. One of the reasons I (and probably all of us) love Jeff and Annie is because they actually understand each other really well. For some reason I always think of the picspam that veritas724 did for Investigative Journalism, where Annie pulls Jeff aside and has that weird little line about the army of raisins that Jeff barely even blinks at and totally gets, which Kerry points out could only happen with those two. And so much of what went on between them ( ... )

I don't know if it helps supercapo, but be patient as long u 2 have a mutual understanding elsiesnuuffin will turn around. If not blame society, writers, lebron james, transformers, or dan harmon. But not me

Definitely LeBron. Ooh, and a little bit Ryan O' Neil!

Too late. I don't even know how yet, but I'm going to find a way to blame you... and Transformers.
