BEFORE I EVEN START, is that a Weakerthans lyric I spot in the title? If so, you rock. ♥

[mcee]

YES, REPRESENT! Let's see how many fics I can manage out of that one song. ;D

[blindmadness]

MANY, I HOPE! Their lyrics were made for song-titling and other lovely poetic stuff like that. ^___^

And now that I've actually read it, gah. <333 I love how poetically people write Ryland/Alex a lot of the time, because it seems so in line with their music, if that makes sense. And there's so much that can be done with them and I think you've captured it so well here and I love it. ♥

Wicked Cool, I knew it.

[peridium]

Nngh. ♥ It's so them. I love it.

Oh, oh, oh. This is... just a gorgeous little fragment of their lives and it left a warm ache somewhere behind my heart.

I love this, oh my god. It's so excellent and perfect I had to comment, okay, because some people can write like some people can paint, with the whole thing and then kind of shape it and clear up the details where they need to be and put them in just the right places, and this reads like that.

He doesn't know how the rest goes. He's got guitar picks in his pocket and Alex's ballpoint pens and a nine-dollar Merlot hangover. The rest is a cakewalk. is the best. The best ever, no lies. ♥
