You know, I love how certain things inspire us. I post a song, you write awesome fic as a result. That should happen more often.

Actually, as I said from the very beginning, I really do love the whole idea behind this. I love how you made the prompt work for you. It's schmoopy with the right amount of angst like any good harlequin is. I love how you write the Jared/Chad friendship. I love how you write Jared, period. And boys. God, I love them boys. :)

haha YES! That song is just love, and totally set me off on the path of madness. \o/

I'm SO SO excited you liked this, baby, and I cannot WAIT to see what art you come up with.

!!!!

Oh man, sorry that I wasn't around earlier... but um... YEAH. This is effing amazing and the sex is so wonderfully DIRTYHOT. Seriously, you nailed this to the wall and it's fantastic. ♥ Thanks for letting me help. And just remember... it never sucks as much as you think it does! And in the case of this story, it's the complete OPPOSITE of suck. *reads again*

AWWW Amber, THANK YOU! So much. For helping me with this, and keeping my head up. ♥ ♥

NAW. I do so love boys in love. :) I love this babe. I love the history the two boys have and the way they're obviously still hung up on one another and the pacing and of course, the hot sex and the wonderful resolution.

*squees herself into a tiny ball*

I know it may seem sudden, but my love for you (and this STORY) iss burning and true! Your writing style is just delicious!

*hugs the story close and cops a feel*

[strippedpink]

Oh wow, thank you so much!! I am so thrilled you liked this!!

Damn, I stayed up way past my bedtime to read this, but it was worth it!

Loved the Jared/Jensen angst and longing; loved the Jared/Lauren under-the-table shenanigans; loved pitbull/douche Chad. And the poker commentary -- I could just hear that in Mike Sexton's hushed voice, even though Sexton is WPT and not WSoP. I know entirely too much about pro poker, seeing as I don't actually play poker m'self. *glares lovingly at sleeping husband*

One question...what's a Broadway? Most of the other terms I recognized, but not that one. (Very important question, that.)

Great job, Lindsay. Can't wait to see what you're cooking up for us next.

Nevermind about the definition -- I just saw it in the glossary.

Forgot to mention this one paragraph just...guh...got me. I went back and reread it a few times before moving on...

“I…” Jared swallowed, mortified to feel something hot and wet pressing at the backs of his eyelids. When it came, his voice was an unsteady husk that wiped the flash of teeth from Jensen’s features. “I gotta go. Been good seeing you, Tom. I’ll give you a call later on this week.”

Oh, Jared. *pats his hair comfortingly*

Loved that bit. *sigh*

[strippedpink]

Hee! Okay, glad you found that! :D

And YAY...I so love hearing what people's favorite parts are. :)

[strippedpink]

Thank you so much, honey! I'm glad it rang true to the game, and that the characters were well enough crafted and real. I really wanted them to still be BOYS, even with the schmoopy Harlequin aspect. *g*

Next up is some WINCEST, maybe. \o/
