New Fic: 507 Gapfiller: Kaleidoscope

[xhaleslowly]

Wow. Talk about bittersweet. 507 was one of the strongest episodes of the season. But...

*sigh*

Well. I guess we knew it was coming :(

So... I have something a little different this week. Three POVs, all second person (thanks burnitbackwards for the encouragement!). And much love to ragingpixie for the read-through. *kisses*

No spoilers beyond 507.

Ethan, my dahling, again you have done the amazing! I have been waiting all week for this *ok since sunday:)* All I could think when the ep was over (and I was so upset) was "WEDNESDAY HURRY UP!" I need my Ethan to write this complete! Baby it was SO INCREDIBLE! I am sitting here typing this with the tears still on my face, you wrote it so beautifully it just broke my heart! I will never cease to be amazed at how well you capture the Brian/Justin voice and the addition of Michael this week - GENIUS! I could sit here all night and praise you endlessly and it woudn't be close to how much these stories mean to me in making this last season everything it should be! I am hopelessy devoted to you now and would be honored to be counted among your minions! Or I saw someone else put that you were their "Online Gay Husband". DAMN! I was gonna propose to ya! Love ya babe and again BRILLIANT. Brit

Hey Brit... thanks for this :) It's so awesome to hear you're enjoying the gapfillers this year so much! Getting this kind of feedback and encouragement totally keeps me writing them.

And thank you for letting me know you liked that part with Justin at Michael and Ben's with the "I love you's". Although Michael had been pretty much annoying me for most of the rest of the season, this episode I felt like he really had compassion for Justin, like he cared about him differently than he ever had before. There seemed to be a shift in him and his attitude towards Justin. Michael truly became a supporter of their relationship in this ep I think.

Anyway, thank you again sweetie - and I got your fic. Will try and get a chance to look at it soon :)

I am sobbing, Ethan. :(( :(( :(( One for each POV. That is the saddest thing you have ever written and I must go home now and take that all in before I send you some coherent feedback. But I wanted you to know how much I loved it. Really, I did. But, then, OMG, :((

♥♥♥ to you!

[xhaleslowly]

Aw... thank you so much for letting me know how much this one affected you. I didn't want for it to be so sad, but I just didn't know how else to tell this story without laying out some of the harsh truths of what was going on :( It was a difficult episode for sure. But hearing you loved this fic is so awesome. Thank you!

Add another to the tally of those bawling their eyes out :(

This was just perfection. I adore the alternating points of view and the emotion captured is absolutely heartbreaking. Amazing.

[xhaleslowly]

Thank you so much for this great feedback... I'm so glad you liked the alternating points of view - it was a bit of an experiment with this one, but I really wanted to get an outsider's perspective on this as well.

Thanks again :)

[xhaleslowly]

*Thank you* for this Cat. What incredible words of encouragement :)

It took me more than half an hour to read this because I just couldn't read through the tears that were almost constantly streaming. You're utterly brilliant at filling in the gaps, even if it hurts. ♥

[xhaleslowly]

So sorry for all the tears :( But with this one... it just couldn't be helped. Thanks so much for letting me know you liked the way I filled the gaps in this one... it's so great to hear :)
