So. My esteemed co-author pushkin666 reckons you lot deserve a caning fic with an actual scene. Too bad this isn't a happy or sexy scene. Still.

I just hope it's continued very soon.

Um... well, what happens next is meticulously plotted, just not written yet... I'll be getting to it over the Easter Break I hope.

Hmmm - clearly WIPs have a lot in common with whips... I know, I know, the story/scene stands alone, but because we know there will be a continuation it somehow doesn't!! Remind me not to read till things are finished, pretty please?! And meanwhile, well done for creating such an emotionally charged scenario.

[kat_lair]

Maybe I shouldn't have said anything about the continuation fics? But I didn't want people thinking that this was the default Brendon/Ryan dynamic in the 'verse... Glad the emotion came through though; one of things we want to do with this 'verse is to show how people in d/s relationships are still people and will fuck up as much as anyone.

While this is fabulous, augh augh Ryan please have learned to not be A COMPLETELY TERRIBLE DOM by the next story, augh.

[kat_lair]

Thank you for the compliment :)

Ryan is not a 'completely terrible Dom' though, he's just not in control of himself at the moment and scenes when he shouldn't. Brendon hasn't exactly been acting like a 'good sub' either. It's a case of both of them being obtuse and not really saying what they want. However, some forced learning will happen in the continuation fics. We did say there would be angst, but happy endings :D

Okay, gripping and very tense! Now I don't want to wait until Easter to see what happens ...!

But I will*g*

[kat_lair]

Thank you very much :) Well, I figured posting this will put the pressure on myself to write the continuation... It's all plotted out and everything though.

Patience is a virtue!

Hot. I like fucked-up scenes as long as it's clear that the author knows they're fucked-up, which you definitely do.

[kat_lair]

Thank you, really pleased you enjoyed. And yes, this is a fucked-up scene here, Ryan knows it himself, even if he does it anyway.

I think you already know my opinion on this, but I was reading it through again just now (happy times :D) and there was this one line that just hit me. Can't remember if I mentioned it on the beta but this one:

Safe is a relative word.

...it just, I don't even have words for it. It kinda sucker-punched me (in a good way) and I felt I ought to mention it. That one? Nailed it.

In conclusion, broken!boys are love and your writing is awesome enough to hurt :)

[kat_lair]

I am always beyond delighted to hear if people find a particular line or paragraph that really speaks to them, so thank you for taking the time to tell me :) You're always so generous with your comments.

I think in some ways in this fic Ryan is even more unsafe with himself than he is with Brendon, because in the end he didn't break Brendon's trust (tried it, absolutely, but he did stop at the safeword) but his own, and that's the worst thing.

Thank you so much for the beta help and your feedback <3

[dreamersdare]

Always a pleasure, never a chore. It's easy to be generous about your writing :)

I kinda saw it as Ryan failing to meet his own standards for himself (which were arguably unachieveable, since he doesn't seem to allow himself any room for human fallibility) and then having no mechanism for coping with his inevitable shortfall. I'm really looking forward to seeing how they work their way through this.

Any time, hon.

[kat_lair]

Yes to pretty much everything you say about Ryan. You have to remember that they're both quite young in this as well and so keep making the relationship mistakes together.
