You did fine.

[sodoesrachael]

:D Thanks!

You shouldn't feel uncertain about this, I loved it. Really nicely written and very much what I want to read after Amplification. Very nicely done indeed.

I too would like a slashier follow up *grins*

Hee. I don't know why, but something is keeping me from outright slashing these guys... iono. It's especially weird considering that the fandom that I write a lot for is Queer as Folk, for which I routinely write about boys in love and doing each other... idk, I'm a weirdo. :P

But yes: THANKS FOR THE COMMENT!!! :D :D :D ♥♥♥ I'm very glad that you enjoyed it!! ♥

Definitely does NOT SUCK! Good job capturing Morgan's mood - trying to make up for the past in the here and now. Fighting his own demons out on the couch while Reid fight his in his nightmares. Well done!

[sodoesrachael]

:D Thanks!!! I'm glad that you think it doesn't suck. ;)

I'm glad you mentioned the 'nightmare' thing. :D I wanted to go back to it since it's actually mentioned in the show and whatnot. And since Reid was reluctant to share with Morgan back then, I wanted to show that they've come to a point now where Reid feels he can share things like that with Morgan. :D :D :D :D :D Because they not-so-seekritly lurve each other. I mean, um, because they're bff's?? ;)

But yeah, THANKS FOR THE WONDERFUL COMMENT!! ♥♥♥

ew. what did rossi DO in there when he went to talk to strauss? no. i don't wanna know. ew.

Maybe he was selfish, but he figured that Reid was selfless enough for the both of them.

Win.

But once again, Reid had been the one to save himself from a terrifying situation.

OMGSOTRUE. For someone who is so often made out to be a damsel in distress, Reid's seriously the toughest one of the bunch, in addition to being incredibly self-reliant. And proud.

I love helpless!Morgan. He wears it so well.

IN CONCLUSION, AWESOMENESS. For srs. Word. To yo motha. <-- So awesome I'm rendered unintelligible. See? *nod*

OMG YAYZ YOU COMMENTED! I mean... *ahem* ♥ ♥

For someone who is so often made out to be a damsel in distress, Reid's seriously the toughest one of the bunch, in addition to being incredibly self-reliant.

OMGINORITE? Seriously, whenever he's in a bad situation, like, yanno, being kidnapped and tortured or exposed to a deadly and fast strain of anthrax, he saves himself! I LOVE that about Reid's character. :D :D :D ♥ ♥ ♥

And: EWEWEW! I DID NOT mean that about Rossi. EW!!!! I just meant that he used the fact that she hero-worships him to get her to do his bidding. Not... EW!! You, my friend, have a dirty mind! Which, I must say, in most cases is a very good thing. ;) But not in this one!! lolz.

Anyhow, OMGTHANKSFORTHECOMMENT!!! ♥ ♥ ♥ I'm VERY glad that you liked it!! :D :D And thanks for the awesome comment! (That consisted of more than "I liked it..." -.-) :P

My favorite part is when Reid is trying to thank Morgan and explain that he had a nightmare. You captured Reid's character so well. Usually whenever he's not talking about hard facts he's always halting and trying to think of a better way to get his message across. Love it alot.

[sodoesrachael]

Aw, thanks! :D Glad you liked it. I'm glad I got that across with Reid's nightmare, since I love that about him. ;) He's so awkward, and adorable. :D Thanks for taking the time to comment!! I love them. ♥
