I haven't had this much fun reading fic in a long time. I wanted so badly to copy/paste to my friends as I was reading, but I didn't want to spoil it for them. This is AWESOME and I loved it so much.
I loved the way you wrote Mikey and Gerard's relationship, the most I think. That Gerard would think one minute that Mikey's a total dicksmack and then they communicate silently (LOVE) and you can tell how much they love each other.
And BOB and D&D and Gerard thinking BONER BONER BONER and they're just such teenagers and it was almost painful to read a couple of times because they ARE such teenagers and you did such a good job of communicating that high school angst.
Did I mention I love this? Because I really, really, really do.
That is so awesome to hear, seriously, because the pacing and the reading experience of this is one of the things I didn't get the opportunity to really work on. And the sibling relationship! I'm an only child, so I really fretted about whether I was writing that well or not.
I remember high school all too well, really, and I wanted to write something that was sort of akin to my experiences in high school. I'm so pleased you liked it, seriously, and that you commented. This was awesome to get. ♥
ahhhhhhhhhhhh, i loved this so much. loved the way gerard and frank were both in total awe of each other. and the kneejerk angry insults in response to anything catching them off guard. fat gerard and chunk-style frank; i cannot even express my delight. i totally broke my decision to read all the big bang fics in order when i saw the summary pop up, too. i am such a sucker for a highschool au. THANK YOU FOR WRITING THIS ♥!
Fatass and Chunkstyle Fall In Love was the working title of this story, because it made me giggle and swoon every time I thought about it. (Probably because I would have loved to have lived a more romantic version of high school, myself.) I'm so pleased that you read this -- out of order, even! -- and that you enjoyed it. Thank you for commenting. ♥
I'm so pleased that the sibling interaction worked for you. I wanted that to be a strength of the piece, but given that I'm an only child, I feared that I wasn't getting it quite right. :D It's so kickass that that worked for you.
Thanks so much for taking the time to read it, and to comment. I really appreciate it.
This is perfect! I love when people manage to write high school aus that come off just as shitty and awkward as high school really was, I can't do it no matter how hard I try. This really was hilarious, but also heartbreaking, I love it. Definitely one of my favourites.
I definitely felt like I was revisiting high school while I wrote this... which meant that everyone had to put up with me being whiny and impossible for a while. Regression is all fun and games until you're revisiting puberty. :D
Thank you so much for reading, and for commenting. I'm really pleased you liked it.
This story is just a lot of fun and it was really a joy to read. I love Gerard's voice and his POV on everything, I think you write him in a really fun and different way. I also enjoyed the way he saw Frank, in such a teenage love way, if that makes sense? But just how Frank was so new and different and strange but fascinating. You portrayed that really well.
The inter relationships were really well done as well, I loved reading everyone interacting with each other and the sense of being in high school.
I really really enjoyed reading this.
(and thank you for the super thoughtful review of my mix, that was really awesome.)
I'm really glad you liked it. I am still at odds with this story -- I'm happy to finally have it off my hands, but I still feel like it sucks donkeys -- and it's reassuring to hear you say some of the things I was hoping to get across. That teenage sort of fascination with a first love, for example.
Thank you, is what I mean. It meant a lot to me to get your comment.
(And I think thanks are due to you, actually, for making a mix worthy of a review. It is kickass, and I love it.)
