Well, I feel like you just grabbed me and pulled me through the earth. That's what you do to me, what your writing does this me.

This is so utterly gorgeous - how do you write a story about loss without any over-sentimentality, and with such a sharp edge. It was beautifully painful. Those little hints that you drop as to who Jared is, they were extra delightful on a second reading. And a third. And a fourth...

And how much did I love that one who was living was the one who was waiting, and that Jared didn't come back to Jenson, but FOR Jensen.

I'd be c&ping the whole damn thing to highlight my fav lines - but this one in particular was PERFECTION. He might be getting high off it, having a friend again. The boy with a cocaine smile that Jensen's starting to crave, and heroin hips that make Jensen fatten up when the boy lifts his arms now and again.

You are the writer I would kill to be. <3 <3 <3

I've got goosebumps and I'm not even kidding. Your writing creeps me out in all the best ways. DELICIOUSLY shivery!

oh. oh, oh, oh. How amazing beautifully, creepy. Your horror is the best--because it's laced with beauty that gives it the perfect contrast. AJ deserves such a lovely spine-tingly story. Truly a delightful present, bb!

♥ ♥

I can't...

For the longest time I just held my eyes and couldn't even look...I'm still not totally convinced I'm awake. I did drink an awful lot of wine tonight....it could be that...

I still get that dumbstruck thing, looking over my shoulder thinking you must be talking to somebody else thing when I see you've written my name...but then this...

Crap, I can't stop crying! It's so beautiful, so fucking beautiful. Every word is just...I've been trying to pick a bit out that'll explain it. My mind keeps being drawn to "Jensen thrives" I think that's why I love your writing so much. I would never have thought of that in a million years. And it is perfection. It says everything. How in the fuck do you do that

[homo_pink]

oh i'm so so happy you enjoyed it. i worried at my fingernails all day wondering if it was too far off base from the idea you mentioned, wondering if i'd completely ruined everything. utterly relieved to hear you like it, if even a little. i hope you had the loveliest birthday, and every day after. you're truly such a joy ♥ ♥ can never thank you enough for always being so sweet.

[paperbackwriter]

omg you're a crazy person : ) You will never ruin anything. No more worrying allowed : )

Seriously, I will take every drop of insane, beautiful, dead, ghostly boys that I can get my hands on : )
This is just so beyond anything I could imagine. I love your brain and where it takes things.

I'm still totally overcome that you would write this for me, real human girl tears and everything : )
I truly don't think I've been sweet enough to deserve this...thank you so much, Hunny ♥ xxx

[homo_pink]

oh you deserve so much more ♥ drawing hearts around you forever, likely in my own blood

[fiercelynormal]

I actually had a shiver run up my spine at the ending. That was so amazingly good and creepy; I adore your style and you constantly amaze me with how easily you can tip the story over from sweet to macabre. What I'm trying to say is: I LOVE YOUR FACE! <33

[homo_pink]

ahh, you're so fucking wonderful. i'm all blushy and weird now. so so happy you liked this one. i love yours more! ♥
