Thank you so, so much! I can't believe that I wrote it in 3-ish weeks either. I sort of had tunnel-vision about it, though, so I'm actually looking forward to, you know, being able to concentrate on the rest of my life now. :)
Enjoyed and recced! I used your Author's Notes, hope you don't mind. I'll edit if you do. Just got caught up there for a moment then realized I should have probably asked permission before I posted. :/
The first thing I want to sat to this is, thank you so, SO much for writing this, for being...well, fair. This was such an honest take on everything that went down, how awkward and frustrating and just plain painful it no doubt was for all four of them. Even though it was all Spencer's POV, you could feel the mixed emotions for the rest of them, and I just...thank you, omg. I cried on and off through this entire thing, and when Zack opened the door and let Jon in backstage at the Chicago show, shit. I am on my second Kleenex as I type this, lol. Possibility one of the hardest things I've ever read in this fandom, but it almost feels like it needs to be, like, required reading--A History of a Divorce, as it were. Nothing is easy in this, not even the stuff that is, if that makes sense (probably not, as it's late and past my bedtime).
You're my hero for writing this, and my poor battered heart still thanks you. ♥
Oh, wow, thank you for this. And for reading! I'm not even really sure what to say here, actually. So I'm just going to ramble for a bit.
This story is just about the hardest thing I've ever written in fandom, possibly because I didn't know what I was getting into when I started it, or possibly because I actually thought I'd worked through most of my issues with the divorce, only to tear the scabs right back off again. (It's been an ouch-filled few weeks.)
Also, I am really, really glad to hear that you felt the story was fair to all parties. I was trying so hard to be fair, to not lay blame, and--yeah. I'm so happy that people felt it came across that way. That was one of the things I was most worried about.
Again, thank you for this comment. I really appreciate it!
Wow. Um...really. Wow. This is so good. I liked the pacing. It didn't feel rushed, and it wasn't too slow. It also made me want a dog really fucking bad. I like Bogart as the constant in this story. I wish I could think of something better to say, but it's just so damn good. Amazing!

(I realized I missed having a dog while I was writing this, although my cats would probably be disgusted that I'm admitting that. *g*)
