Kaylynn's willpower is indescribable. If I'd been in his bedroom, I'd have stripped down and climbed him like a tree.
I love the progression of their relationship...it's totally believable and fun to watch as she comes out of her shell and loses some of that fear as she starts to like him
@ magwag Thanks for all your comments! If Steven Stamkos ever found this...he'd probably be like "Who is this bitch who wrote this? I've got WAY more game than this stumblemumblefumble idiot fool in this story!" Oh well, Steven. WE LOVE IT this way. ;)
They're so ridiculously adorable with each other because they both like each other more than they think they should so they're nervous and tentative and so so cute! Loved the update
ohhhhh they are so adorable. I love that they're tiptoeing around one another. And I like the slow build of the relationship; it feels realistic to me!
@ linzerella1983 Seriously!! One of the best photos of him. All sweaty with his arms and abs on display. I'll never be the same after seeing that photo. Thank god for hockey weddings!
@ Dance2muse Oh my lord. Can you BELIEVE that photo???? Steven - don't make me lock myself up in my house and write for DAYS because I'll do it if you keep Tweeting shirtless photos of yourself at wedding. Heaven on EARTH.
That last chapter was beyond perfect! I love the dynamic between the two of them. And I really hope you saw the photo Stammer tweeted because if that doesn't serve for some inspiration.....
I looooove love love love this so far. Kaylynn's sass is so perfectly likeable. Plus the whole sibling story concept is awesome anyway because it's like, twice the updates!
@ jee2 Thanks for your comments! We're having a blast writing it and basically just giggling the entire time. I'm also writing a James Neal fic called "Wasting All These Tears" - link is in my signature. Not a companion piece but it's written in first person if you haven't read it - check it out if you're interested. And there's plenty more James where "The Boys 'Round Here" came from. ;) Cheers!
Okay I absolutely love this! I saw this in the HF board and really wanted to read it but got distracted by something else and forgot. So glad I finally got a chance to and so happy there's a companion. You guys should try to see if you can get someone to do a Neal one. It'd be interesting to see his point of view in this one. Also loooove the summertime thing. This story (and its companion) is like the ultimate margarita.
