This is sweet and funny and hauntingly beautiful. You tell Jared and Jensen's story with such a light touch, and I just love Elmer. I just might read this one again right now.

oh i'm so happy you liked it, especially elmer. your stamp of approval means the world to me ♥

Pure poetry. Nobody does creepy Southern Gothic quite like you, lady. How do you consistently manage to take "dark and disturbing" and conjure up beauty? (I also love how you altered the original to avoid the melodrama of "that" photograph finding its way to the media, so yay.) Brava! ♥

[homo_pink]

you are the sweetest, the very sweetest. i'm so so relieved to hear you say that. i was worried this would come out too dark. i was aiming for somewhat tender, nothing zombie-ish. (this time, lol.) and yeah, the dramatic bits from the movie as well as the weird hints at molestation from the stepdad were not my favorite parts. thanks so much! ♥ ♥ hope you're feeling a bit better!

[ephermeralk]

how are you so perfect? I don't even know any more. Seriously. I get ridiculously grumpy anyone/anything that gets in the way of me reading your fic when I see it!

I haven't seen the movie, but I already suspect that I would enjoy it less than this fic. Things like :There's nothing for Jared to fix. Jensen Ackles died perfectly.

and Unstatistically speaking, there probably aren't that many people who can say they lost their virginity in the back of a hearse. . and of course. all the rest of your sentences too.

And Jared walking that fine line, that I was on the edge of my seat wondering just how far he was going to go, touch, feel until Jensen woke up.

♥

I'm just going to stay here awhile...and grin in sheer contentment.

oh, the movie's just gorgeous though. i wish i could tap into a 10th of the ethereal quality it held. in my opinion, it's a must see, truly.

and you are just so kind to me, all the time. i do not deserve such loveliness. but i appreciate it 200% and love you dearly for you being you! thank you so much, my dear ♥ ♥

[fiercelynormal]

You are sheer perfection. You write with such dreamy atmosphere that I get lost in your stories. I cried at the end, poor Elmer lol. Absolutely wonderful <33

[homo_pink]

i ♥ you, i ♥ you, i ♥ you. thanks so much for being so sweet with my stuff. (and for running this most wonderful of challenges. favorite!)

I am so creepy obsessed with you and your perfection, and I just want to kidnap you and tie you to my radiator to make you write me beautiful terrible things, and then make you soup and kiss your forehead to apologize for making you have all that in your mind.

Ugh, stop it.

[homo_pink]

ooh, that sounds very misery. i like it. sold. you're so good to me. ♥ ♥ ♥ and just so you know, i'm fully expecting a creepy!jensen-who-keeps-jared's-hair-in-a-locket fic from you. you can't just say something like that and not immediately write it and deliver it to my doorstep. i need it. ♥

[blackrabbit42]

Hands off, JC.... I was thinking the exact same thing.
