Absolutely zero

See who am I to say this situation isn't great? It's our time to make the most of it
How could we ever know that this would happen to me, not that easy, no
When all along the fault is up for grabs and there you have it
If it's for sale what is your offer, I'll sell it for no less than what I bought it for
Pay no more than absolutely zero.

*squee* Fic &hearts!

Let me start by saying...I love this line/verb: He took another glance around the room as he circumnavigated the poker table. :D

And it was sad and somewhat angsty and I love their interaction. And then the ending was great :D.

P.S.: And also because my inner grammar Nazi won't shut up...shouldn't it be 'their'? no matter how much they drank, or how loud they laughter was.

P.P.S.: YAY, FIC!

Promptly corrected. *does the salute*

Whoo, if that's the only mistake you found, I can consider myself happy. (No, it's not an invite to look for more!)

Yay, fic, yeah. You have no idea of how nervous I am. Thanks for reading, bb.

Everything cool, there where you are?

Haha don't worry, I'm not on the hunt for mistakes ;).

Actually I have some idea of how nervous you are...BUT YOU KNOW I WILL ALWAYS BE THERE TOR EAD AND CHEER `BECAUSE I AM AWESOME LIKE THAT.

Yup, things are just fine :D.
I'm working in a boutique and watching people buy shoes...which only makes me wanna buy more, BUT I CAN RESIST. I CAN.
And that lifeguard...kisses like a God :D.

Glad to know I've got a fan-club. Hehe. No, really, you don't have to read, you only have to want to read. The being nervous is just a fault in my head.

Btw, I'm sure you're being totally professional and helping people in all the ways you can. Then think about employee discount and steal all the display pairs.

Oh, have I ever told you that I HATE YOU SO VERY FUCKING MUCH?

Gah, I need to get laid.

I don't know why I'm in an angsty mood, but this just fit the bill. I absolutely loved it! The way u portrayed Matt and Brian each dealing with their own demons concerning Jimmy was just heartbreaking enough and also just distant enough as well. The idea of watching all the misery pan out in a state of numbness was executed beautifully.
And I gotta ask, are those goals of Jimmy's fact or fiction based off of what we as fans can Muse about? Either way, I loved this. Especially the description of Matt feeling stretched and misplaced. Very vivid.
Nicely done.

Sorry if it took me so long to reply, my mood just keep shifting and I can't get a hold of it!

Anyway! Thank you so much for reading and taking your time to review it. The only thing I can tell you about the numbness thing is...I should know.

The facts...well, I implied. The bar thing, he said so in the making of of The beast and the harlot, I guessed he wanted to marry his girl for real (if they weren't already!), the best man thing I supposed, because they were really close, weren't they?

Thank you again!

This is the first fic I've read and /or written about A7Z since that too and I was very nervous about it. Thank you for memming it. It always flatters me.

Y'know, half the time I just skip over stories that I see on my f-list, but I'm pretty glad my friend told me to read this. Of course, when I remembered the author I knew that it'd be good, and of course you didn't let me down ( ... )

Ok, you should know that multi paragraphed comments make me happy no matter what (even if it's just a loooooong bashing). It means that people really do care and trust me, there's no feeling like that. I didn't want to write a fic about his death and that alone, it seemed..lame and disrespectful. At the same time,I couldn't just ignore it and pretend it never happened. So I decided that I would have included it in the story just as it is, something that happened.

I add a second paragraph myself just to tip my hat at you and thank you so much for having taken the time to write such a heartfelt review. It means the world.

Hoooooney. It's not the quality of the fic that worried me. It's everything, how the story is perceived, how I am perceived for popping in after a six month disappearance. I am grateful that most people seemed to forgive me about it, you included.

I wish I had that same courage too, dear. You know, reading this again, after a while since I wrote it, it makes me realize just how much I expose myself through what I write. It seems like I'm never able to just write fiction, no matter the theme.

The adoration is reciprocal (I sneaked another peek, damn it!) and for the more writing thing...yes, but I don't think it will be soon. I have a companion piece for this fic and it's from an...unusual perspective. I don't know if I'll ever get it done, though!
