This was lovely! I love how well mapped Mark's thoughts are and all that he is wrestling with. And the other cast mates appearances, though brief, you've done well with given them personalities that feel different from their characters.

This isn't just a fic where you've taken the characters and given them the actor's names (as is often the case in RPS) Be proud of it!

Oh, and you are right. Caroline IS made of magic!

Thank you so much!! <33 I think one of the things I puzzled over the most was trying to keep their voices real and separate from their characters. I even combed through it like, twice, just to make sure I didn't accidentally refer to any of them by a character name, lol... I'm glad it was enjoyable! \o/

Ooooh, I really liked this! I might have spent breakfast out with my husband reading this on my phone instead of talking to him, hahaha. So good! I like Mark's internal struggle and the path his thoughts take. It felt very real--enough so that I wanted to reach through the screen and give him a little push! I can only hope that you eventually decide to write more of this (for Chris's sake, of course. The poor kid can't be left hanging like that. *koff*)

LMAO That's awful. I take no responsibility!!

I feel like it's going to be a slippery slope because I'm already pondering a follow-up with Chris. *weebs.* I think I might be doomed to continue this. Someone just put me out of my misery now!!

I'm glad you liked it and that it was real for you! I guess having them skip off into the sunset after turning in their two-weeks' notice to live together in RPS paradise will just have to come later.

Or never. Ever ever ever

I'm already pondering a follow-up with Chris

Yes, please. MAKE IT SO.

Mark/Chris RPF!!! I'm always excited when I see it because so few people write it anymore. This was fantastic even if the UST nearly killed me and made me want to bully you into writing sequels where Mark lets Chris pull him back into the apartment and they have their own party.

I have to agree with the other comments and tell you that you did a great job of separating the characters from the actors, particularly Mark. I understood why he thinks he has to hold back but I still want to push him toward Chris. And I remember reading that AfterElton interview and wanting to strangle him with one of his bird shirts. Oh well. Awesome fic!

Me too! I think they have the best subtext. ♥

...made me want to bully you into writing sequels where Mark lets Chris pull him back into the apartment and they have their own party.

I mean, if I can get an internet connection from the inside of a dumpster, I probably won't put up much of a fight.

Thank you so, so much for your kind words!

This was really well written! I can't help but feel seriously depressed for poor Chris though, I wanted to slap Mark for the stunt he pulled in the hallway after the re-watch party. King of All Assholes is right!

Don't let my anger towards Mark fool you, I really did enjoy this.

[mavilous]

I think Chris would like to slap Mark too! I should hope Mark is smart enough to avoid him for a little bit. And Amber. Yikes!

I'm really, really glad. Thanks so much for reading! ♥

Any chance of changing this from a oneshot to multichapter? Loved it and I want more :)

[mavilous]

I'm blushing! Um! Yes. Possibly. Probably. Yes. Someday!

Thanks so much! ♥
