WTF! I didn't expect this to get filled and the fact that you filled it is gift enough, but this, man. This is incredible. It's exactly what I wanted.
I love that it's so believable, somehow. The "he has a thing for his best friend's girlfriend" dynamic is always a favorite of mine, and applied to Matt/Ben/Gwyneth it's perfect. I love your characterizations of minor characters, Drew and her big mouth and Clooney and his oppressive charm.
I like that Ben's kind of an asshole yet loveable somehow, charismatic enough that someone as dynamic as Gwyneth keeps coming back. And I like that Gwyneth likes Ben, but not as much as he likes her. I love, "Hey you," a particularly Damonesque line imo.
Anyway, thank you, you're an angel. I loved it. ❤️
Augh, this is so great, dude. You are so good at writing this messy group-friend-life, where everyone is tangled up with each other and everyone is involved with someone and wishes it was someone else and everyone's happiness is this tiny fleeting thing they're always chasing and I LOVE IT SO SO MUCH. and they all laugh like the best of friends they aren't. I feel like this is the beautiful thesis statement of this entire fic and I want to to treasure it always!!!! And dude, I'm also so obsessed with your voices here, omg
"You weren't here, Matty. It was awful. I really thought they were it."
"Course I wasn't here. No one knew who the fuck I was then."
I CAN HEAR THIS SO PERFECTLY, IT'S INSANE.
I'd also, for the record, read like 100k worth of fic about the making of The Talented Mr. Ripley. You now have me deeply invested in this. STAY GOLDEN, MY FRIEND, AND PLEASE NEVER STOP WRITING. No one does RPF the way you do RPF AND HOW I LOVE YOU SO.
