Ermm I've been procrastinating on reviewing this story for a very long time. Because I'm a lazy ass. And well Imma start off this long ass review by telling you how this resonated with me.

I was in a mutually emotionally abusive relationship, and well the guy cheated on me. Reading this fic was like watching the show in the respect that I could relate so much to Walter and Jesse to the point it made me uncomfortable.

You were so deft ... and excellent really at portraying their relationship, and I'm sorry that I can't come up with better words but wow. You handled the subject matter really well and it is a fucked up place ( ... )

Thank you for the very personal review. I'm very sorry to hear about your past experiences with abuse of this kind, and I'm really grateful to hear that you felt I handled the subject matter realistically and in a way that could resonate without being too painful.

I can't really see them being in a consensual D/S relationship because of their awful communication skills but also because Walter is generally a selfish dick, and I don't think he could comfortable with the submissive one having ... well power.

Very true. It would ruin the appeal for him.

Having gotten that out of the way, I'd love to see a fic where they have a consensual D/S relationship *coughs*.I don't think I'd be able to write it, honestly. I absolutely do not mean this in a kink-shaming kind of way, but consensual BDSM is something I can't really wrap my head around, and it makes me uncomfortable. I'm not exactly comfortable with the darker, dubcon-ny iterations of it, either, despite having written this piece, but it makes sense to me in a way that makes it ( ... )

Oooooohhhhh!!! That was so good... I... dammit. I have no words. JESSE!!! Okay that was one word. Just - all around awesome. I am memeing this, and potentially printing it all out and keeping it in case of power failures when I need to read awesomeness <--- babbling is I.

It makes me sad that there is no more after this :D But you just... nailed both of them (erm no pun intended) perfectly. I demand more writing from you. I will read it all :D

Aww, thanks! Glad you liked it.

I do have a couple other fics posted at the slash comm, and I have drafts of a few more done that I intend to revise and share eventually.

TERRIFIC! I love Jesse's desperation and Walt's compulsion bringing them together. the show leaves me with such an aching need to see them connect, this hits a sweet spot, as fucked up as they are.

I know. It's weird, the kind of darkness I'll put up with in their relationship just to be able to have them together. I'm not that way with any other pairing.

What really impresses me about every single fic I read of yours, is that you have mastered the art of writing them speaking and bantering to each other, and having sex with each other.

Thank you so much. I really put a lot of time and effort into the characterization, both in their voices and their behavior and reactions to each other, and I'm really glad you feel like it works. Especially the dialogue, because I had so much fun writing it.

I really hope I'm not prying or being a douche, but would it be possible for you to send me some of the unposted fic you wrote via email?

Sure. Just so long as you understand that they're not posted yet for a reason.

So, I'm coming to this late, but wow. Just wow. Amazing story. I've read all the ones you posted, but this is my favorite, though I probably shouldn't be admitting that, 'cause it's the darkest ( ... )

Thanks so much for the review. This is my favorite of my stuff, too. I'm glad the characterization feels right.

Where they are right now in canon is driving me nuts, too. It's on the surface exactly as sweet as I've always longed for, but so fucked up underneath it all.

There actually is some Jesse/Mike out there. Pay a visit to bb_slash. Some of it might be behind members-lock.
