Thank you so much my dear!! ♥ Your feedback was always so thought-out and wonderful. I'm so so glad you enjoyed it and liked the fluffy ending. Like I said, there's just no way I could give them a sad ending after all that. Thank you!!
GUH GUH GUH WHAT A PERFECT ENDING. THIS STORY IS FANTASTIC. I THINK YOU DID IT ALL KINDS OF JUSTICE BY GIVING MARK AND EDUARDO SUCH A HAPPY ENDING.
And as for BBM - I think you hit the biggest themes in it right on the head. I don't think you had to give it the same sort of ending in order for it to fit into a BBM style AU. You wrote about denial and dealing with what you have and you also had situations that very well reflected events in the film and short story. Was I expecting tragedy from the very beginning of the fic? Yes. But I like your story WAY MORE than what I pictured in my head. I don't think I could've dealt with death.
Gosh, anyway, I just want to praise you for sticking with this fill all the way to the end. It was fantastic and well-written and it felt so real. You did no wrong with it. Thanks so much for writing it and posting it and everything. ♥
Eeeee, this comment is love!!! THANK YOU THANK YOU!!
Thanks for saying that about the crossover aspect haha, I'm really glad you think it worked right. It was kind of fun to think of ways to work some of the scenes/lines/themes from a tragedy about cowboys in the 1960s into a story about college boys present day, hehe. To be honest I was never intending to end it that way--there was NO WAY I could kill off Eduardo, my bb. If anything I would have just ended it with them not getting back together I guess, but I felt like it really wouldn't be fair for poor Mark to go through all that pain and growing up and still not get the guy. Haha.
Thank you so much for saying all that! I am so pleased that you enjoyed it! ♥ ♥ ♥
Okay, now that that's out of the way, I have enjoyed reading this so much. I loved how you interworked the main themes and plots of the two movies and tied them in a very well-handled AU. It was always a pleasure to find an update and I'm going to miss this!
Thank you bb!!! So glad you liked it ♥ I will definitely miss writing it too, even though it was kind of a huge life-sucker, haha. But like...in a good way. XD Btw, I love your AVPM icon. Darren owns my heart ♥
I saw this around in the kinkmeme and decided to wait until it was finished to read it and I am glad I did, haha. I really liked the ending and how you portrayed Erica, and Mark's relationship with her. The constant ups and downs between Mark and Eduardo were heartwrenching, even from the very beginning when Mark feels so sick about (theoretically) never seeing Eduardo again. (And as someone pointed out, you had a bit missing - September 2002 I think, but I just went to the kinkmeme and read it and continued on.) I wanted to smack their heads together so many times, ugh. Eduardo resigning and Mark crying with Randi nearly killed me, but I loved how Mark finally came to terms with everything and Eduardo was just dumb-in-love enough to give him one more chance. ♥
Yes, it was probably a wise choice on your part to wait until it was finished to read; you avoided the emotional torment I was putting everyone through a little bit haha. Sorry about the missing part, that should be fixed :) Of course Wardo ended up giving Mark one more chance...how could he not? He was always in love with him and Mark was finally willing to be what he needed. Thanks for commenting and pointing out the parts you liked ♥
Well, this fic almost keeeeeled me at times, but thank you thank you for not following the path of the book! Absolutely loved it, and loved that he came clean with Erica and how their relationship turned out. Oh, and I practically squeed at the little note Eduardo left on the pillow. So wonderful. Thank you!!
Thank you for commenting!! Erica was indeed a BAMF and Mark always did care about her so I wanted them to have a happy ending too. (I guess I just love tying up loose ends...) And Eduardo's note...you know he would. Oh Wardo bb. Thank YOU!
