oh, yes. angsty otp is what i love the best!

i've read this like three times already and it still doesn't stop hurting. the scene where ryan's watching brendon in the parking lot is especially heart clenching. and the conversations with pete are so spot on. i just, i love everything about this fic, including you.

♥!!

Aaaangst! It's so strangely absent from the non-SATD fandom, which is just...weird. Anyway.

I'm really, really glad you liked this one -- I have some pretty serious affection for it. And you! ♥

I was friendsfriends hopping, and I hope you don't mind random comments. :D

Here is a confession: Ryan knows he wants Brendon to sing for the band weeks before he brings it up with anyone. He carries Brendon's voice inside him carefully, keeping it all his own. Brent always played so fully within himself and Spencer wasn't particularly good at dissembling the differences between singers and Brendon couldn't hear his own voice for how tightly he kept himself bound, so Ryan was the only one to hear it, and Ryan had a problem with selfishness.This is where I stopped and thought, this is probably actually how it happened. This is such good Ryan characterization. I like that he isn't particularly jealous or malicious, he just wants Brendon's voice to himself ( ... )

AHAHA. MIND THEM? I LIVE FOR THEM.

I'm really glad you liked it! Thanks so much for the feedback! I'm generally pretty starry-eyed over my OTP and the companion to this one is so dismal that when I set out to write Ryan's POV, I really had to inject some cheer, to be honest.

I think characterizing Pete is where a lot of fanfic breaks down, for me. I think that a lot of these boys are so tough to write, but it's rare that I find a Pete characterization that really clicks for me, so that compliment truly means a lot.

Thanks again!!

This was sad and sweet and I love that Pete is there trying to help as best he can.

Thanks for the comment! Poor Pete, playing babysitter. Sigh.

This is a good acompanenment to Brendon's pov.

I like how Pete has shades of not being ok himself but still willing to be a supportive source of advice, which you don't see much.

And Ryan is so frustrated but wanting to make it work out.

This was awesome.
