Oh, heartache! I rather like stories like this, though - still sweet, but with a slight sour aftertaste. The open ending seems so much more plausible and realistic (and therefore more heartachey) than nice little endings where people realise that they're gay for their best friend and there are kisses and happy getting-together sex. Those endings always seem slightly too pat to me. Like they're smirking smugly at me. D: Which prolly explains why I like Coping Methods so much.

Ahhh, the restraint and the sweet, sweet resignation that Shishido shows here is really lovely. I knew he had it in him! For the love of Choutarou, Shishido Ryou will resist jumping his bones!! /melodramatics.

He got to be Ootori’s best friend-most days, that was enough. More than enough.

♥♥♥ to this! So tired and it's like, in the story there is the sheer wall of will that Shishido has up and it only thins away slightly to show how tired he is and I am probably a freak for liking heartachey stuff like this so much.

Basically, I REALLY LIKE THIS! :D

Like they're smirking smugly at me.

Very, very randomly, I have a friend who says the same of every batch of French macarons that he's baked. Bizarrely, he keeps baking them.

Perhaps it's the influence of writing Coping Methods, but I find that I like a little heartache, too--I didn't expect this story to turn out the way it did, but upon reflection, I don't think I'd change the ending. Fluff is fun, but a happy ending would kind of make anything and everything he felt in the course of the story, well, a very moot point.

Aiyee, thank you so much, sweetie! (Now here's hoping you don't hate me if I do actually decide to give Coping Methods a happy ending...)

I thought that macaroons were Jewish. XD Maybe his love for the taste of them overcomes the smugness of their smirks.

xD If I take a step back and think about it, it seems slightly screwed though to think that a happy ending for Ryou will make everything that he's felt meaningless. Ah, well.

aglksjdf yes please do give Coping Methods a happy ending. *_______* I want to see HiyoMari, really really want to see them dating and how they'd interact in that sort of situation because I'm sure it'll be hilarious.

[sinsofwill]

*laugh* I think coconut macaroons are Jewish--I'm talking about macarons, the sort of flattish things that look kind of like a hamburger bun sliced in half; they're the French equivalent of amaretti. They normally come in bizarre pastel colours when you buy them in a shop, but they're awfully tasty. ^^ And I know this because he keeps feeding them to me!

...you know, when you put it that way, you're right, that is kind of screwed up. ^^; Er... well... er. *laugh* I remember the one time I tried to write a happy sequel to the Golden Pair angst I wrote forever ago, and I never ended up finishing it for... well, reasons something like that.

*giggle* HiyoMari dating would be hilarious. *glares at them* Now, if only you two would cooperate...

Hiyoshi: Hrmph.
Mari: *raises eyebrows* Don't look at me.

I really like this, only problem is, I want more! Thanks for posting.

[sinsofwill]

Eee! Thank you! ^^

Shishido's acceptance of the situation just made me so :( it's heartbreaking how he isn't even hoping anymore that he and ohtori could be more than friends and that he's just hoping to someday get over him. it's a nice slice of life fic.. :)

NEED FLUFFY SILVER PAIR FIC NOW. :)

[sinsofwill]

Eh, well... I suspect that for a gay guy with a straight best friend, the hoping would break him faster than acceptance... and Shishido's not the type to let himself break. ^^;

I'm glad you enjoyed it... and, er, SP fluff as soon as I can manage? ^^

[the_con_cept]

Aw, now I'm going to go through the rest of the day feeling wistful and wanting more.

It was lovely as always, though. Rumpled!Ohtori sounds fabulous. But it makes me want poor Shishido to get a thing for someone else just long enough to wake Ohtori up. *g*

[sinsofwill]

I suspect that Rumpled Ootori is fabulous, and has hair that's just made to be touched and scrunched between hands. Ai-ya, poor Shishido.

...but oooh, wouldn't it break his poor heart further if he did get a thing for someone else... and Ootori was nothing but happy for him?

...my goodness, I'm feeling vaguely evil today, and I should stop. ^_~ Thank you, sweetie, for liking it!

[_profiterole_]

That was so full of emotion. ;__; But you wrote: 'One-shot'. *pokes* I'm sure you meant 'Chapter 1'. *pokes* You meant 'Chapter 1'? *pokes* Did you?

[sinsofwill]

Well... I didn't mean Chapter One... *toothy smile* trust me, sweetheart, I don't think you'd like the results if I'd meant Chapter One. ^_~

Thank you so much for liking it enough to want more, though! ^^

[_profiterole_]

But... how can you do that to Shishido-san? T________T

[sinsofwill]

Monnie: *hides* Er... *points an accusing finger to the Shishido in her head*

Shishido in Monnie's Head: *scowls* Don't look at me, woman, I didn't ask for this!

Monnie: *wails* But it's your fault you fell in love with a straight man!

SiMH: Oh, come on. *points to Rumpled!Ootori* YOU tell me you wouldn't fall in love with him.

Monnie: Er. *eyes Rumpled!Ootori dubiously* Well. You raise a valid point.

SiMH: *hopefully* So you'll fix it?

Monnie: Come on, even you have to admit that your pain rings more true than any fluff I could use to fix it!

SiMH: *snarls* Maybe for YOU! From this end? It SUCKS! *stalks off*

Er... it says something that I am now having conversations with my writing voices.
