Wow, The Used came on just as I started reading this - weird. :cheese: Anyhow... It was sort of inevitable that they got back together [seeing as it is a Gerbert. :tehe:], but I'm a sucker for cute endings. (: Even though the one-shot was mostly dialogue, I liked it. The way you write dialogue is very natural, and I envy you because of it. I think it's adorable that Mikey tricked Gerard into seeing Bert, it was really realistic. :cute: Great job (:
I don't really read Gerberts but I really enjoyed this. :XD I thought it was adorable.
I liked the simplicity of the narration. I rarely see slash that aren't filled with flowery descriptions and such. And this is one of them, and yes, it worked. I felt butterflies the first time Gerard stepped towards Bert. That part was incredibly lovely, I have to say.
I highly enjoyed that. For it being your first Gerbert you got in-tune with the characters quite well. :]
I laughed when Mikey set them up to meet again, it just seemed like the little push that the two needed to get back together.
I also liked the fact that they hadn't spoken to each other in five years over such a silly reason. I just proves that they are meant to be together because they are quarreling already like a married couple.
Awhhh! That was so adorable! I couldn’t say anything bad about this story, only that I wish it was longer!! They seem so cute together! ^_^ Good ol’ Mikey, setting them back up. I actually really like the fact that you used Mikey to set them up, since normally Mikey is made to hate Bert in Berards/Gerberts and it makes me sad, haha.
We were mad at each other. I don't know why we were mad at each other. We just were. If I had to guess as to why we were mad, it would probably be because we had allowed ourselves to be apart. I really love these few sentences, because it takes what has happened in real life, and given it a reason. A reason that even they aren’t sure about – which is clever since the whole break up has a sense of mystery and confusion around it.
"So does this mean you're back for good?" I asked.
"Of course," Bert said. "How else could we be together forever?" For some reason, these lines remind me of The Fox and The Hound – my favourite part of the movie. I really love these lines, it’s just so adorable and it just makes me want to start ‘awwww!’-ing at my laptop.
This was so squealingly adorable. :tehe: I never read Gerbert anymore [let alone anything else MCR or The Used] and this one had me smiling, so you should be dead proud. :XD
It was amazingly cute. And Mikey's so awesome, too... and Gerard's reaction to being called over and Mikey not being home is so believable. Very much what I can imagine Gerard's reaction being like.
There were a couple of awkward sentences, and it seemed a little bit fast-paced towards the end, but it still worked in an odd way.
You've totally managed to pull off witty banter too, which can be quite difficult. A majority of people overdo it and make it sound plain stupid, but you've hit the fair medium and it's brilliant.
Sorry it's such a short comment, but yeah. :shifty
