i'm so glad you are posting this!

i love the rambly patrick-ness of it. i imagine it's what the inside of patrick's head looks like.

You could gauge a lot about where Pete was if you knew what he was listening to. At least Patrick could.

♥

It even comes out in interviews sometimes--the “they” that means Pete and Patrick, and not Fall Out Boy, or the “we” that doesn’t include Joe and Andy.

i love this and i hate it and i know it to be true on a certain level.

So they see Pete rhapsodizing about Patrick, and his voice, and his music, and his argyle, and they don’t see that it goes both ways.

this is, to me, the whole point of this piece right there. and i've rambled to you before on this topic so won't again.

the 'if he could say it.... maybe that's how he could say it' section makes me gasp. love it so much.

this is such a dense piece of writing, and i think may be too much for some, but i'm really loving just wallowing in it, feeling like i'm getting right down into this patrick's head.

I know that this story isn't going to be for most people (many people?), but I'm glad that you've liked it. :D It was honestly almost too much for me even as I was writing it, so I completely understand. :D

Thanks for the lovely feedback Q, it really means a lot.

[exorcise]

I'm going to be truthful because I haven't actually read further than this, and I normally wait to leave feedback so I can talk about the piece as a whole, but I really adore this. Normally when I'm writing I get caught up in the 'oh wait, I need action!' mentality of things, but this has proved that wrong and then some. While it's more descriptive of their relationship than anything, it works in an amazing way. It's really lovely to read because not only does it reflect on that but it does so in a way that's real and hits close to home. Everything's described so that you get more than what people might read as actual face value, but you're not totally and completely caught up in metaphors. Annnd I would say more but I'm really tempted to continue on with reading this even though I need to be up early in the morning.

I'm rambling, I know, but I'm really looking forward to continuing this and I'll leave you a proper comment when I do. It's really refreshing and one of the best things I've read in a while. ♥

Thank you :). I'm glad that you're enjoying it so much, especially since it's not your normal thing. I know that it's not going to be for everyone because of the way it's written, but unfortunately, that's the only way I could write it. I'm glad that it's working for you regardless.

Thanks you so much for taking the time to leave such lovely feedback. :D

:D

I just finished reading this whole story and I just have to say that this is one of the best, most well written fics I think I have ever read, honestly. The whole story is amazing but I find this first part to be especially captivating. Great characterization and descriptions.

~blushes~

Thank you so much! That's, wow, that's some praise. :D

I'm so glad that you enjoyed the story and that the characters resonated for you.

I know it's not the standard style, but I'm glad that it worked for you. :D

p.s. please, please excuse the lateness of my response.

[smithdidit]

the lateness is no problem. :)

I love how there didnt seem to be any pressure for anything huge or dramatic to happen and it just flowed and progressed evenly.

:)

[aliceinlexicon]

So. I'm not even DONE with the first chapter and just.

This.

"except for that fact that it’s, in all its chasteness, a statement of a greater intent"

My heart. In. Your. Hands. Have it.

Dear Alice

[aliceinlexicon]

Ahaha, you're silly! There was no need to apologize, I love this fic so much even if you never read what I said it would still have a very special place in my heart. That being said, thanks for the replies! I love your writing style so so much.

(PS Lovely is like my favorite word. Tickled pink right now.)

[gibson_fic]

P.S. I'm sorry if that was incoherent. So, so tired here, but I didn't want to wait to apologize.

[lexi_dork]

This! Story! is golden!

The deliberate touching from Pete... so cute! xD *runs off to read the rest again*

[gibson_fic]

Thank You! :D

Pete, he's a schemer. ;)

I'm sorry for the late reply, LJ never told me this existed. :(

[lexi_dork]

It is totally fine! I must rush off to get ready so that I can have time to read MORE of this. xD
