Hmm. Okay.

learning to play the cello because you've run out of competition in Guitar Hero is so spot-on Brendon is almost ridiculous. That's him. It is, and I cannot be convinced otherwise.

Part four is. Just. Ouch. This, in particular: The real tragedy here isn't that George Ross is dead, but rather that his Ryan was getting to that point where he could confront his father instead of writing cryptic stories into lyrics, and before he managed to sit down and talk, really talk, his father happened to drink himself to death. Patrick wonders if maybe George did it on purpose - if maybe the shame that pushed Ryan so hard was an inherited trait; if George maybe hated himself more than Ryan ever could. You really just understand things sometimes, and it amazes me. I can't speak for Ryan, but I know I feel that.

I love the nerdy music talk in five. I do, I do.

"Stop hanging all over Uncle Patrick, Brendon, go eat your vegetables or it's a time-out." Ahahaha. Hah. Ohh, yes.

Their hands are gently clasped and Brendon's eyes are closed

Hopefully I only make you ache in the nice ways :)

Thanks, love, means a lot.

Patrick hesitates. "How did you get him to, you know, sing? If he was so dead set against it?"

"I asked him to."
That is so perfect. That part got me, I can feel it; it's so them. Brendon won't do anything he doesn't like, unless, unless Ryan asks.

I love that you told it through Patrick's eyes. That's an angle I've never seen anyone take before.

"I think I'm going to try and get some sleep, now, okay?"

"Liar," Patrick says. He knows what that sound means.

"I know," Brendon says tiredly. "I can never sleep until he does."
This is so full of sweet. Your diction is wonderful. This line shows how much Brendon really cares. I adore it. You did a wonderful job. It flows very nicely, and the characters are wonderful.

Aaaaw, thanks!! :D

And, I'd like to add that if I could live in a fic, it'd probably be this one.
I feel like I could go into so much detail about why I adore this so much, but my brain just can't find the right words.
