Let Them Heal - Comments

@ mswrite85
Aww thanks!! I'll be putting up some chapters of Stranger later on, can't wait to see more of yours!!x

I'm loving this fic so far so many questions like what will happen between Patrick and Elisa and what will Eva become to Patrick!! Keep up the amazing writing

@ star collision.
Yeah, I took that little grocery bit out of my own life experience. I don't know if I was so happy to have received a text from someone I was crushing on during my college years or what, but I was like, 'HOLY SHIT! SHUT YOUR FACE!' in the middle of the store where they had pineapples and some other fruit stashed. Very uncomfortable situation to have put myself in, so I don't recommend it haha! Yeah, that Mr. Stump was a lean towards his humble ways of being addressed and also his joking manner. He may be of age to where most would assume you would have to call him Mr. Stump if you didn't know him, but I can see him just replying with, "Please, call me Patrick." So I wanted to make little appearances of his personality here and there through the letter. Of course, it's more when it's in his POV, but the letter was able to cross over how he jokes and how he likes to be addressed - just a normal dude with a crazy occupation :))

Eva and Janessa's relationship is somewhat a reflection of what I have with a few of my friends. It's a little bit of everyone that I've become friends in the workplace and lasting friendships since my high school days. I thank you for bringing up their friendship! I really enjoy writing these two because they are such smart asses to each other, it reminds me of myself and my friends. Sarcasm and witty comebacks are a never ending competition between us. :)

And YES, I will reveal what Eva looks like, and Patrick's reaction to it. I think (at least I hope) you'll like the next installment. The next chapter will be more on the comedic side, but at the same time shed some more light on Eva and her life. I don't want to reveal too much, but he gets a glimpse of her life. :)

@ Ali Cat
I am ecstatic to know you and a few others are happy with the story thus far and are eager to read the next chapter! Makes me feel all giddy inside :)) I am, and I am taking a little out of my experience when I had met someone through a social media site (mutual friend on FB), so I'm trying my best to use what I experienced through Eva and Patrick. I'm looking forward to getting these chapters out to y'all ASAP. :) Thank you again for your comments! Much love!

Oh my goodness! Eva's reaction was hysterical. I'm happy Patrick emailed her back. Also, the Mr Stump thing seemed pretty spot on to me. Patrick doesn't strike me as someone who enjoys titles. I love Eva and Janessa's interactions. It's such a unbelievable friendship. Thanks for the plug, too! I hope you update again soon.

Oh my goodness this was so adorable. I'd be acting the exact same way as Eva. Like I wouldn't even know what to do with myself. I'm excited for more, like honestly I can't wait to see how their relationship develops through these emails and I hope somehow he arranges to meet her, although I'm scared to see what will happen with his wife in the mix! I also saw below that he'll be seeing her picture soon and I'm so excited!!!!

@ chynnablueink
Oh, girl! I will be bringing all sorts of holey smokes later on the chapters. A little splash of drama, and it'll be a nutty ride!!!

I hope. Lol

Yeah, Eva is still in the frame of mind that she doesn't want to go too overboard with her personality that she's used to showing. She is slightly holding back since she doesn't exactly want to scare the bujeezus out of Patrick that he nicely declines ever talking to her. Ever. Again. :)) But I have a few ideas that are cemented for the next two chapters.

oh, and he'll be seeing her pic REAL soon. What do y'all think she will look like? :)) Thank you for your well wishes on my doctor's appointment! It's nothing too serious, but it needs to be done. :D Thank you again for enjoying this fix and coming along for the ride! Muah!

I cannot wait to see Patrick's reaction when he sees a picture of Eva for the first time. I love the whole turning the tables on him thing, like you said--it's his turn to be obsessing over someone through the internet, lmfao. :p

I'm looking forward to seeing their emails get more conversational--Eva still comes off as formal, but that's totally natural seeing as she'd probably be nervous about being too friendly in case she scared him off. Patrick seems to be slipping into more of a comfort zone, so I'm looking forward to seeing more of his idiosyncratic speech in there, too (I'm talkin' holy smokes, baby, haha.)

I'm so into this fic. It works so well because they can build a relationship whilst he's still touring and stuff. I'll be waiting for the next update--hope your hospital stuff goes okay!

@ falloutlisa
Why thank you, love! Haven't seen your lovely face around here in a little while. Was just about to put up another set of recs with your story in it ;)

Gosh I just love this!x

@ Ali Cat
I tend to let the days inspiration come at me, then at night time I'm able to gather my thoughts and process the idea for the next chapter. It's weird where you can get some of the most inspiration from lol And thank you for the compliment on the title. I honestly didn't get the title going until I was three chapters in before posting it online. I didn't want it NOT to have one, so I kept playing with the writing, and the wording and finally came to 'Let Them Heal'. I wasn't entirely too happy with it, but it's growing on me. I'm hoping I can get to the meaning of the title later on the in the chapters :))

@ mswrite85
Also I can't get over the title of this story. I don't even know why. There's just something powerful about it and I'm always like "shit that's a good title" haha

@ mswrite85
I ALWAYSSSS update at night too, omg. I just don't even know. I update at like 1 or 2 AM for some reason I always write better late. I think Patrick's curiosity is interesting. I just think this entire story is interesting because it's so different, so realistic. I don't know. It makes me super happy to read and I usually check on mobile so I'll be like "Okay I'll leave a comment when I go online later" and I just can never read and not comment skgjns;gkjsg'

@ Ali Cat
You are very welcome! Thank YOU for allowing me to link your stories! :D It was a nice chapter to write since I didn't want it to be so heavy on the harsh side of his problems. He just really is curious and his curiosity tends to go a little bit overboard. I see Patrick's infatuation with Eva like he does with music. He wants to see the origins of where she comes from, how her life started and what made her decide to become what she is (which is a nurse). He's not obsessed, just really interested.

I think I wrote Pete a little to nonchalantly toward Patrick, but I needed to make it a point that he's not going to slap Patrick's hand every time he feels he's doing wrong. Patrick is a grown man, and a married man at that, so he feels that Patrick should use his common sense when approaches his infatuation and his marital problems. Like he said, "You're vulnerable. She was at the right place at the right time..." ;) I'm hoping to have the next chapter up by this evening, if not super early tomorrow morning (again like 3 or 4 am. I like the night time to write lol!) Thank you so much!

@ star collision.
Again, THANK YOU! I know, there's just so much to think about with the rise of possible rocky situations between Patrick and his wife, the developing interaction between Eva and Patrick and how Pete gets involved. I really don't want to get too nutty on the wife part *yet*, but as I go through the chapters (I literally type them as I go. I'll have a snippet of an idea and then let my fingers do the work), I want to form a base, a real foundation between the two before I further the relationship between Patrick and his wife.

BUT WE SHALL SEE, HMMMM?? :)) Glad you're enjoying the story so far and thank you so much for your compliments. It means a lot to me :)

@ chynnablueink
Thank you for the compliments and comments! I knew this story was going to be slow start, but I really wanted this fic to be as real as possible. I didn't want some magical attraction happen right at the moment or that "electricity" from a letter. I wanted him to go further than just reading her words - I want them both to see how the other interacts, and I thought what more honest can get through reading and seeing your life through the internet. It's like seeing the tables turn on Patrick, ya know what I mean?

I honestly love your innocent Patrick in your fic! It makes me feel warm and fuzzy, but the contrast between him and Pete work so well in that story. The ying and yang of it all! Thank you again for your comment!

Thanks for linking my stories omg it means so much :D I really loved this chapter because Patrick is so giddy about Eva and it's adorable. I think Pete was okay, but on the lighter side. I liked that you even included in him! I love Marcus in this too, haha. That breakfast then were eating sounds so good omg I'm so hungry! As always I can't wait for another update, I have butterflies just thinking about it. I hope it's soon!!

Aw thank you for the rec! The way you write Patrick is so real, so believable. He curses and he has real life problems - ugh it's awesome okay. Still wondering what's going to happen to with that wife of his. Let's not forget Eva and Patrick as well. I love reading stories with this kind of communication. Is Pete worried that Patrick is so invested in this girl just because his marriage is rocky? I personally have no idea how Pete would react in this situation, so your guess is pretty solid I think. So so so so excited for more.

I love how you're developing their relationship. I'm a sucker for reading email transcripts so I think this story will be one of my faves. And I LOVE that you have Patrick married in this, it just makes it that much more believable. Excellent dialogue between Pete and Patrick, too. Love the way you're switching between the two POVs (wow, I love a lot of things about this story). You write Patrick really well! Think I'm gonna have to get a few more Patrick curses in my own fic. My Trick is a touch too innocent sometimes. ;)

@ Ali Cat
Yeah, I would have probably exploded on the spot if I would have seen such a notification from Patrick Stump. I would have freaked out for a reply. But a follow back? DEAD. I'm happy how this is going. In all honesty, I'm really happy that I'm starting to get to the core of the story between Eva and Patrick. It took a little while, and I want to thank you and @star collision for sticking around for it. I'm really trying to get past the "boring" stuff, so hopefully now it'll be getting more interesting for readers lol

The wife part is still up in the air. The reason I say this is because I have different avenues I want to take with Eva and Patrick's interaction and also Patrick and his wife's relationship in the mix. It's gonna get messy at one point or another, but.... we'll have to see, right? ;) Thank you so much for your comments! Be on the look out for the next chapter this evening! Or super early tomorrow morning (I'm talking like 2, 3 a.m. haha!)
