So, I'm a shitty fan fiction reader for two reasons: 1) I almost never read chaptered fics because they're looooooong and 2) I almost never leave feedback because I suck and I feel awkward and stuff.
But what you've written here is so beautiful and perfect and many other positive adjectives that just don't come up to my mind right now, that I decided to overcome my shittyness and awkwardness and actually write a comment.
You, dear, you have a GIFT. What you write is so perfect I could almost feel it, see it right before my eyes (which is a really hard thing to achieve...). The way you use words is just TOO MUCH TO HANDLE sometimes, because WOW, you truly know how to make people feel what the characters feel (hell, at a certain point I was crying so hard it was embarrassing! LOL)
Well, in the end, I just wanted to say that I'm really glad I found this fan fiction, because it's really, really beautiful.
I loved every line of it.
(This looks more like a random babbling than an actual comment, but hey, told you I was awkward!)
im not gonna lie, not only am i impressed with these amazing writing skills, but also super impressed with how many different songs you can base the titles of each chapter off of. like damn thats cool.
I just read this whole thing thoughout the night, you write so beautifully. better than a lot of actual books I have read. That was really amazing, I was scared at the last chapter that there wasn't a happy ending, thankgod there was. :D
Oh my GOD. Okay, my LiveJournal is atlaregay and if you ever sign on again, I'm sure you'll be highly irritated with my messages. But I just read the last parts on here, and, perfect. The second last chapter was spectacular, Jack was so sincere. And the bit with Alex and Lisa in the final chapter, where he said he was taking his parents to therapy? That made me SO happy to see, because I always want a happy ending for all and his parents really did need to get better. And the fact they're spending time with Alex again by going out to dinner, ah. <3
THE SUDDEN RIAN AND CASS ADDITION, AH. Also Peterick, which I don't really ship but it was totally cute and I'm glad Pete and Jack stayed friends. Was that also a Zack n00dz reference I noticed?
Yes, I am going to live-comment as I read the last chapter. Soz.
The phone-call from Jack's mother was done perfectly, I so wanted him to make up with her as well and now it's all okay and they both finally said what they wanted to say and Joyce is gonna get better and Jack's all happy he has his mama back ahhh. weiughopgj.
I teared up big time at the big about Alex and his dad in the kitchen.
THE END COULDN'T HAVE BEEN MORE PERFECT, this story was so funny and lovable. Even asshole!Jack was someone you wanted to cuddle because he was all messed up.
loved.it.
And a big well done for finishing it too, I know you had a lot of trouble, but you did it! A whole fic. xo
I cried like a fucking baby when Jack was telling Alex his feelings...it was like more romantic than the Notebook. I'm still crying while I'm typing this <3
