The biggest thing that makes this an interesting, good one-shot to me is the fact that it's set into a trivial situation. Like Gerard and Mikey's mum has left the house in charge of her two sons, and then it gradually (but smoothly) moulds into the two talking about their Grandma and the song she used to play. It's sort of like a private moment between the boys we shouldn't be getting in. There's a calming but... melancholy feel to it?
It's got a bit of a Keep The Faith-esq touch to it too. I love the simplicity.
Whoever the hell commented it above me, it is not normal. It's that genuine peaceful quality that makes this beautiful. And really, now! Make it weirder? This seems to me like a timeless classic, this story was amazing. You did an excellent job with the layout, the lyrics were awesome, Rex. Basically, one of my favorite stories of yours. I loved how calm and serene the whole thing was. It was beautiful. Everything just seemed to flow. You have the most talent of anyone on this site.
This was absolutely gorgeously written. I'm becoming redundant now, aren't I?
"Love is now the star dust of yesterday, the music of the years gone by..." That song is beautiful, you captured the essence of it extremely well.
This is why I less than three you. It was amazing.
