I must say this is my favorite Sidney Crosby story I've ever read on Mibba! (And that's saying a lot; I read a lot of them and have even written a couple.) I thought the plot was excellent and not at all typical or boring. It was unique and that's what grabs my interest best. I've read a lot of your stories and I think this was one of your best. :) Also, your version of James here is one of my favorites that I've seen so far on Mibba. His personality was exactly how I've always imagined it. That was really a great character that you created there. I though Sid was a lot like I've imagined too; perfect balance of awkward and sweet and all that good stuff. Can't wait to read some more from you. I'm getting into The Boys Round Here lately, so more James for me. :) Awesome story.
Loved this story, one of the best, but yeah...quick ending LOL. What did Sid's parents have to say about Leah? Leah's mom about Sid? Their wedding and babies?!??!
I don't mind the story ending, but I guess I was hoping for more of their life together, mostly their future, but maybe that is a story for another day.
@ postdata Thanks! Possible bonus chapter coming at the encouraging of Madie in the comment below. I have already started my next story - it has lots of James Neal, but not only him. It's called The Boys 'Round Here. I can't link from my phone but you can find it in my profile!
@ Maddierose1234 I thought about it, but it just felt over to me. I guess I always saw them as a couple from the start, only more dramatic and so making for a much better story. Also I didn't want to rehash the Pens' season ending so badly - no getting around that! Maybe I'll write you a bonus chapter from their summer together, once everyone is over losing.
PS (full writer confession style): I'm always torn between tying my stories up nicely vs. ending them with a bang. By the time I'm at the end, in this case months into writing it, I feel like they've gone on realllllly long. I'm glad to see other people don't necessarily agree.
This story was very enjoyable. I'm certainly glad Sid got his head out of his ass. The ending was very sweet. Can't wait to see what you have up your sleeve next!
@ julietfalls I didn't like when and how. I feel like you barely showed them as an actual couple. You didn't need to make anything more bad happen to write more of the story!
I liked the ending, even if I felt it a little rushed (but that may have to do that I didn't really wanted to part with the characters). This was super cute, I wish I could keep reading about them for lonhger! And maybe a James story next? He's super cute in this story :) Congrats on wrapping up the story!
@ Maddierose1234 - What does that mean? You didn't want it to end, or you didn't like how it ended? I could hardly bare to do any other bad things to these two!
Loved it as always Juliet. You can't go wrong. I'm hoping eventually you'll write another just James story, because no one else writes any of them as well as you do!
