And damn you, miss luv, for perpetuating my FNL 'OT3'. How come no one else picked up on those Billy/Tyra vibes, I wonder? Ah, well that's why I love you. I love how you've written her relationship to Timmy in this one- she knows he's a shit but she loves him anyway. And Billy...He's got a few years on him, he can see everything that Timmy's throwing away, and that hint of regret...That's gorgeous, girl.

Haha...and I say 'good for me!' for perpetuating your FNL OT3. Billy/Tyra is SCREAMING at me! :)

Thanks! I'm so glad you see the love through the annoyance, and like everything between both Tyra and Tim and Tyra and Billy. YAY! Thanks for your encouragement. :)

YAY, you read and enjoyed and commented! I'm so glad you liked it, and I LOVE the Tyra/Billy vibe, so there will probably be more of it at some point. :)

THANKS!! :)

Lovely missing scene - and you captured perfectly Tyra's mix of guilt and anger and caring (and love) that drives her nuts because she doesn't want to turn out like her mother, and she knows Tim's bad for her (and yet... between the soulful eyes and the hotness, who can resist him).

Sigh.

Not to forget, yes, that Tyra/Billy vibe; and the abiding bond between the brothers...

God, I'm hooked on those Riggins...

Thank you! I'm so glad you felt I captured her...I imagine it's hard to have to take care of her mom, and Tim. You totally have my view of her in a nutshell! :) That's exactly what I was trying to say, so I'm really thrilled that it came across!

And holy moses, yes...he's a hottie!! :)

Yes. So much so that all I want to do is write Tim!porn. And then more Tim!porn. And then maybe another little dash of porn. With Tim.

*sighs and rolls eyes at own weakness*

*drools at non-stop hotness*

Oh. My. God.

You have got the Tyra-Tim-Billy dynamic nailed. Totally capture what it's like to love somebody and have them piss you off, too.

Beautiful.

Thank you.

Thanks so much! It's not an easy dynamic to capture, and I'm so glad you felt I got it. I really like the three of them, and all the imperfections that add up to what we love about them and what they love about each other. :) (Or, sometimes, the imperfections they overlook in order to love each other...)

very nice. I love any story with concerned!butstillcanon!Billy, and I loved the scene/episode you're basing this off of.

Very in character, very nice mellow fic.

concerned!butstillcanon!Billy

YAY! for the !butstillcanon! part! They're all a little harsh, but you know that Billy loves his brother, as much as the kid drives him crazy. I loved the ep where Tim leaves to go see his dad, and Billy yells all these instructions at him, and you know it's only because he wants to protect him...

Thank you for all your kind comments!
