So, I already told you that I love this, but whatever. It bares repeating.

I've always wanted to read a story about them fighting, since the quote on the DVD. And you totally did more than I could have hoped for.

I love the characterizations. I love the dialogue you wrote! This was just awesome.

I love them together in the dark, honest and quiet, and the KISSING! And them together in the recording studio when they final get it on! And Ryan's wearing basketball shorts. Man. You win so hard!

Thank you!! I'm so glad you told me to grab the quote from the DVD.

The dialog was so fun, holy shit. <33

You win so hard. I like that this recognizes the fact that things weren't perfect for or between the band members in those early days without overdoing it, you know? It feels real and honest, that they fought like that about those things.

Your characterization only gets better. I read some badly-characterized stuff earlier today, and was reminded of just how good yours is.

\o/ Thank you, fatty! Means a lot. You so rarely review anymore :P

You know how important that is to me. Love and love.

Wow, thank you. Anger's tough to write, especially when you attempt to avoid abusing italics and exclamation points. I'm glad this fit in your mind.

Thanks again :)

sigh. Absolute brilliance and so realistic. Some parts just seemed to ring so true, especially their arguments and the insults they threw.

Great job.

Thank you!! I'm really glad you liked this, I've been hunting for good fighting-fic.

This story is wonderful. It made me, smile, laugh, and cry. I love the way you wrote it, and like a Great Performer leaves their Audience. You left me begging for more.

Wow, thank you. I'm glad it rang true for you.
