Falling Down - Comments

Through out this story I just kept thinking "Gerard, what are you doing?!"
but this is so great and so is your writing!
This was so creepy, but yet so amazing.

That was amazing, Becca!
Really!
I know you're totally not a nutter, ahahaha.
I love how it was just completely out of the blue for Gerard to be like that, and how Frank was the only one left.
Absolutely loved it.

Let me just start out this comment with telling you that I don’t normally read things like this. I’m more into the silly lovesick romance, y’know? But this… this… it was just. Wow. :cheese:

The summary is so brief and captivating that from the moment I read it I couldn’t click away.

The entire thing was so… creepy and awesome at the same time. All I could keep thinking was “why is Gerard like this?” and I was baffled and really curious as to what had made him flip his shit like this all of a sudden. Especially when you talked about how they had ate breakfast in bed that very morning. I mean--that was just a really great touch because before that I’d been thinking “okay, well, maybe Gerard was always crazy and Frank was just blinded by love.” Because the whole “Do you trust me, Frankie?” bit just screamed creepy to me. But then when you talked about the morning and how everything had been fine--that really added to it and that was when the real horror sat in for me, at least, that Gerard had changed that quickly.

I’m still really curious as to what happened to him--what went on in his mind that made him like that, and that’s why this story is so great. That’s what really makes it for me--the not knowing. I love the mystery and how it just pokes at your mind and drives you crazy.

I love, love, love the characters in this. They’re the kind of people that even after you’ve read the story you just want to read more and more of it. I honestly would read a long fic about this because I find the characters mesmerizing and wouldn’t get bored of them like I do in most stories.

The ending is amazing, too. The fact that we don’t know what happens to them, to Frank, and that sinking feeling that it leaves you with, like “oh shit” is perfect.

I re-read it and when I turned it over in my head it struck me that this is way beyond just Gerard losing it and playing Russian Roulette. I think it has a much deeper meaning, far beyond the story and maybe something that I haven’t quite figured out yet, but that you can count on I will be thinking of.

So. Basically: I adored this. Your writing is incredible and you can definitely expect me to be checking out more of your work in the future.

Oh damn, I really liked it, and Gerard totally lost it, but it was good, and sweet, but still manipulative of Gerard to ask that.
Well done.
