I'm slightly incoherent.

I love EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS> OMG MY CAPSLOCK IS JUST NOT ENOUGH TO EXPRESS MY LOVE FOR YOUR CHARACTERIZATION OR THE SITUATION YOU HAVE PUT THE BOYS INTO. OMG MARRY ME.

Sorry.

+ I move in. Simple. Percy. Fabulous.

+ I like Oliver, but I'm fairly sure he's not queer. Seriously, if I had to make a list of the blokes from our year at school in order of queerness, I'd put him last. After Flint, even.

They'd probably all put me first. This, choked me up a bit for some reason. It's self aware. It's kind of heart breaking and it's frustrating as hell. And he's okay with it and- I'm not sure why this rattled me but it did. In a really brilliant, wake up sort of way.

"I'll firecall Charlie," I say. "He's good at this sort of thing."

OH

THIS WAS AMAZING. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!

THANK YOU SO MUCH.

EMI! AHHHHHH WHAT. I read this for QR and remember being all put out because it was posted late in the day and I'd already read about 12 millions fics that day and was all, NO MORE FIC TO READ WTFFFFFFFF WHINE WHINE and then got two lines into it and was all, o_O WHY IS THIS FIC SO GOOD IT DOESN'T EVEN HAVE SMUT and I should have guessed it was you but I didn't!!!!! ♥ You = win.

edit: oh, what I meant to say was that is why the comment is so short; I was rushing off with QR, but I could have said a million things about little parts of this that I loved. :)

Thats really great, I love how casually you built it up and the part with the tie was very cute.

I loved this. I liked how you told us what we needed to know and nothing more -- the spare writing style really worked, and so did the characterizations. And their kiss is so gorgeous.
