That was wonderful. I loved the pacing and how it had the slow movement of the setting.

Thanks lil! :)

i figured a jimmy buffett song has to be slow and rather casual, so glad it fit.

thanks for reading!

oh yay! i'm so glad you liked it. :)

i won't mind a shack like duo's my own self, specially if it came with (heero) perks.

Heh, you mean the naked Heero beachfront view? ;-)

I've never been a Jimmy Buffet fan, but this was really cool. I really liked this fic. Nicely done.

I enjoyed this very much. I've often enjoyed daydreams centered around running away to some tropical isle and living like Duo is in this story. *sighs* The island and shack sounded perfect for a true getaway. Very nice angst with just enough insight to the past and topped off with a bit of romance and the promise of more. Is this the end, or just the beginning? ^_^ Thanks for sharing this with us.

i've love to find a nice island getaway to be able to hide from it all. sort of calls to you, doesn't it?

...it should be the end, but you know how these things sometimes work. one part finishes but there's still a lingering about it that eats at the muse until you're forced to do something about it.

thank you for reading! :)

Wow... you managed to make a Jimmy Buffett angsty! ^o^ Really angsty. Nice one... just enough background to sketch in what happened, and leaving all kinds of mystery.
I wouldn't complain if you ended up writing a prequel. ^_______^

but, changes is kind of angsty. i didn't think so before, but listening to the song (like a couple hundred times in a row), and reading through the lyrics, it's all about getting caught up in what you don't really want to do and just making do with it until you can make a change for the better. :)

hehe... a prequel or sequel with flashbacks... maybe, one day when i'm caught up on everything else.

thanks for reading, sunny!
