Try It Again (Part 5)

[snapsparagus]

Here's Part 5...sorry it took so long.  I had it written for a while, but there it sat.  I don't know why.  I didn't like it, but then I reread it after a month and I did like it.  So here it is, LOL.  Thanks much for the feedback on the first parts, previous chapters can be found at my journal.  :)

Oh, jeez! Poor Ryan. :(

The complete misunderstanding is just so heartbreaking. That Ryan doesn't even have a prayer of understanding what Sandy meant or what's going on...

Just...

*sniffles*

Nicely done.

Thanks!

I just can't seem to give the boy a break! LOL I keep intending to make things easier on him but it just doesn't come together that way.

Thanks for reading & commenting. :) I really appreciate it.

Great to see more of this. I think I owe you 3, count 'em, 3 comments. Ouch. The shame...

I was hoping to make a dent before 9:00, but that's not going to happen. I'll shoot for maybe lunch? Promise, promises...

More later, but thanks in advance.

Thanks. I've been happily typing away and just posted the next chapter, putting you farther in the comment hole, LOL. I hope the story is okay so far...I'm going back and forth about it, you know? Ah, well. We'll see what happens. :)

You're cruising!

Yes, I do really like the story, and I've been looking forward to more. Now the guilt sets in. I had opened this window to comment tonight when I came home, but I fell asleep. Now, at 4:39 a.m., I woke up to finish with some prep work for the coming day and... here's your email!

Hopefully, before leaving in a couple of hours, I'll be back. In advance, as a little summary, what I really do like about this chapter is how very accurately your characterization is, especially with Ryan. You have an amazing, and uncanny way to reveal many of his thought processes. He may have never verbally expressed them, but his actions spoke volumes. You've captured all of that here very well, along with the fundamental truths of his "list." For me, those are basically straight from his modus operandi in canon as well and serve as a wonderful guide to his perspective.

Now, more later- I really do hope!
