I'm still having difficulty saying more than "wow," but, just, wow. This was so emotional. I don't think I've ever read a smut scene with so much emotion packed into it before, and I've read It All Goes Back to the Dogs (and the sequel), so that's saying a hella ton. You completely pulled me into Gerard's mind. I felt like I actually was him, but at the same time it didn't feel like you were trying to force us into him. It was just, all of your word choices just goddamn aligned to what Gerard was feeling so perfectly. You guided us so well. So well, in fact, I could tell Gerard was about to be anxious before he got anxious, or I could tell he was going to react negatively to Frank's lovey looks before he did, etc etc--not because it was predictable, but because you prefaced it so well with his thoughts. Having the incredible emotional link made the actual physical stuff more potent, too. It was so hot, because it wasn't plain. There was so much happening that my interest was completely captured all the way through, which never really happens for me (I generally end up skimming smutty scenes, no matter how well-written they are, because they're always generally the same old--blowjob, preparation, fucking, new position, fucking, coming, coming, blah). So, yeah, wow. Great work. This chapter has landed you the true spot as my glorified, all-time fave Frerard author, whereas before I was at least sort of in denial because I just love ASOTM so much. But this, this.
I've come out of denial, it's time Frank and Gerard did, too;)
Oh, and btw, Frank's explanations for everything were adorable. Like, what are we doing? "uhhh, proving a point ofc." ofc! that's how I like to prove my points, too--by fucking the hell out of my enemies. makes so much sense. And at the end when he was all "see I-I told you we'd be bad together," I almost pissed myself. Oh my god, Frank, stop it. Don't even try. You're just making yourself look even dumber than you are. XD Anyhow, can't wait for the next update, on any of your stories. Thanks so much for this, ugh. Actually, thanks so much for just existing and writing in general. A few months ago if you'd have told me I would be "discovering" a brilliant Frerard author I would have laughed you off, because Frerard's "dying" or whatever crap my roommate keeps telling me. You're the best and I feed off of your life force, sort of
I saw on your tumblr that you were asexual and knowing that this sorta chapter was going to come up at some point, I was intrigued with how it was going to turn out; and I really liked it. It wasn't about what was happening physically which was the main focus which I like because that gets boring after a while, but having that different perception of it was great, and it makes your writing stand out among many others. But I think that this is the start of a string of similar occasions for Gerard and Frank
I am in such a state of shock/awe right now that I can't constructively comment yet but I'll be back.. just know that you're my new favorite person in the whole wide world and this chapter is literally like the best thing I've read in sooo long, maybe ever
gah poor Gerard. I connect with him so much right now on an emotional level. omg that's such a lame thing to say but whatever ok it's true. I FEEL YOU Gerard. I feel you. and next chapter? NEXT CHAPTER? how dare you tell me such a thing!! (jkjk I love you but still) the anticipation is gonna stab me in the spine at every waking hour, or at least murder me in my sleep at night. jfc I'm in such a fluxy state of excitement/mourning/needing coffee/anticipation. you're driving me up the wall. like literally up the wall. I'm like, almost on the ceiling. you have drawn this out for so long I can't even believe it anymore. these boys are effing crazy. there was a goddamn PICTURE of Gerard IN FRANKS WALLET. that either means creepy stalker or true love, and since you've kinda already clarified that frank isn't a creepy stalker I'm gonna guess true love (also hey it's fan fiction, of course it's true love). so they need to like, get on that. and by "that" I mean each other.
that was the most successful rant ive ever done at this early an hour, and without coffee. I'm going to choose not to reread this comment later for the sake of my dignity. <3
Im waiting for the moment that they realise what they are missing without eachother .. and then they would kiss the hell out of eachother .. nice update .. and i hope u update faster :)
Well at least they're beginning to admit to themselves that they like one another. And I really hope that the truth comes out from when they were kids and it's wasn't Gerard or Frank who played the first of the pranks on each other
oh wow. oh my fuxk wow. that update was.. pure poetry all the way through. holy hot damn. incredible. love the twenty five years lost/regret thing Gerard has going on. also I really wanna know what was going on in franks head there jeez. incredible<3 please update again as soon as you can! I'm very excited
