Again, thanks for entering my contest. :) I really liked this story as well and your descriptions are pure genius. I can't really say much because I am in love with this story. :) Good job!
I love this because it is so different when all the after-split stories I’ve read before. There’s no one to blame, there’s no fighting. There just is. It happened and it hurts them, and they might be on their way to become Brendon and Ryan. But for now, in this moment, they still are BrendonAndRyan. It’s a snapshot in time and I wish more of these moments still existed in bandom. I miss stories like these. That’s why I can only congratulate you on doing a wonderful writing job!
