I would just like to say, that you and Nika are completely to blame for me still being awake at 1.30am when I have to be up at 7am. Because I was waiting for this fic. Oh dear.

*reads*

[simpleconstruct]

Heee. <3<3<3

"This is my first time doing this," Brendon half-whispers as he follows Spencer up, "I'm really excited to be out on the ocean, I've never been on a boat."

oh my god. i laughed so hard. this brendon is so so perfect. his telling of little secrets and his "but isn't it interesting?", just. yes. you have written him so brilliantly in love with life.

"This is my favorite part, Spencer James Smith," someone whispers into Spencer's ear, rough, and Spencer holds back a smile when he turns around to find Jon.

jon! oh jon. he noticed brendon leaving from spencer's room in the morning! he's been to india twice!! and the awkwardness of the oil-buying scene, oh jesus. brilliant.

i have a serious soft spot for fics like this. not only is it jon/spencer, but it's also an historical au and they're going to asia. i really don't think this could get any better. ♥ ♥

one thing:
He decides on the port side, where a group of the vendors and some other people have gathered to watch the streamer set off.

God, that was wonderful. I love how you keep having Jon either call him Spencer Smith or Spencer James Smith. I love it.

And it's nice to see Ryan/Brendon in the background too. <3

Beautiful AU and descriptions. <3

[its_dare]

P.S. I love the song you used for your title. :]

[simpleconstruct]

Thank you. =D I can not ignore my otp! -fierce look- heh.

<3<3 I love Mae as a band, their lyrics are the perfect love songs.

[its_dare]

They are, aren't they? I was supposed to go see them, but I'm poor.

This was great! I seriously adore AUs, and this is a perfect example of why.

The details you gave about the boat, and the whole world that they are living in were perfect. I love extrovert!Jon, and adorable, adorable Brendon. Who got scared of a rat! Oh man. Spencer's voice in this was great.

This was a very enjoyable read. Thank you!

AU's are my favorite things ever. Or, well, after Vitamin Water and the internet. And, um, stuff. *rambles at you*

But, thank you, thank you! =D

[disarm_d]

I don't understand why more people aren't into AUs, because. Yeah! Favorite thing ever. But, you write excellent ones, so that's good enough for me!

haha joncer is my not so secret guilty pleasure :P
lovely

[simpleconstruct]

I would love to read a Titanic AU! Minus the character death and um, stuff. But.

Thank you! =D

[girlintheband]

*interrupts*

I would totally read a Titanic AU.

hinthinthint.

[simpleconstruct]

*hums* People would start to think I had a strange addiction for putting these boys in the middle of the ocean.

And aren't there other people writing Titanic!Au? I REALLY HOPE SO BUT IF NOT. UM.
