i'd like a single plum floating in a gentleman's hat full of perfume

So, what else is there to write about during the hiatus except for breakup-fic? I hate being left out. It's bad for my fragile little ego.

like yoko ono

If you talk to me, I love you.

It had to be Chris because whoever did it would go down like Yoko Ono

That line just stuck with me, just one of those things that pops out at you when you read over a story and stays with you till the end.

I loved the dialogue, the way you wrote this easy rhythm of the boys' relationships with each other, give and take, push and pull, zing and snap. It just crackled when I read it and had me cracking up at the jokes. I also loved the little details you put in: Chris watching Futurama, the call display thing and the $400 bottle of vodka. It was just so smooth the way it all fitted together and really fleshed it out for me.

It was a wonderful story to read.

You darling creature! Thank you so much for the feedback; it's lovely to hear that it worked for you and I got their relationships right. I'm thrilled to my toes. Sweet thing!

*snuggle* Thank you thank you!

:D Seriously, you are the cutest thing ever.

And I've only read two stories of yours so far, but I just love the way you write them. I've never been into *N Sync fiction too much, but yours are an absolute delight to read and yes, I will be haunting your site now.

*giggle* Sound more than fair to me. Thank you!

Plus, unrelatedly (or perhaps all-consumingly): Jayceeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!! Eeeeeee!

Ok see you just messed with my emotions here (in a good way). I read break-up fct and go in expecting the worst. I started reading and the tears started coming (maybe I'm just too sentimental right now). Anyways I loved it, this is the way I see it going down. NSYNC 4 ever (it's a nice thought). SJ

I am evil like Lance. Well, no--I'm not. I could never aspire to be. But I make mischief in my own little way.

I've read a lot of (really good) break-up fic lately, and I've realized that's one of my limitations. This is as far as it goes with me. And Lord, I hope they stay together for a good long time.

Thanks so much for the feedback, sweetie! *snug*

No one wanted to leave! happy!

...and it was like old times, except not. Because they weren’t together on the same terms anymore.

man. like, how much do I love this? a whole lot. That was definitely not the ending I was expecting, and I love it all. Chris could hear Lance grinning down the phone and it was easy as pie! and stuff.

Eeeee! I love them so much. Couldn't bring myself to break them up. ^_^

Thank you for the feedback! *snug*

Wow, alright. I took a chance, and figured that since you're pretty cool, it wouldn't hurt to indulge in a little new fic.

Oh, wow. I am really in awe here. I mean, I don't know the history, or really much about the guys beyond their names, but I just get the feeling that you really captured them. That sounds kinda silly, but it's what I got. I really liked it, really.

The fun thing about Lance was the way he’d play along with you. The funner part was getting him to a point where he didn’t have any more dry, clever comebacks and just started grinning.

And that line really struck me, because it's just how friends interact and play around with each other. I loved it. Loved this.

Dude. I proved my dorkiness by squealing like a little pleasure piggie over this. Heh. ^_^

And wow, how awesome is it that you read and enjoyed the fic despite not being in-fandom? Because that's totally an enormous compliment. I'm giggling unstoppably over here.

Thank you thank you! You're an absolute doll. *snug*

Eeeee! Okay, I love you.

And I am so not coherent beyond that, but yes, this was just very, very good. You rock the casbah, babe.

Real feedback? What real feedback?

Incoherence can be a friend to us all. Especially if it's such nice incoherence. Thank you for the feedback, darling!

"Fuck yourself and fucking die, Chris," Justin mumbled. It was lovely.

Oh that's perfect. And that whole story was lovely. The rythms and the humor and all of it. Perfect!

If you talk to me, I love you

That's all it takes, eh? And all this time I thought I was speacial. ;)

D'oh! Took a long time answering this.

At the risk of sounding full o' myself--I like that line too. Cranky!morning!Justin rocks, especially when he's cussing and Chris finds it to be the funnest thing ever.

And you are speaaaacial. Specialer than Special K, which is pretty damn...no, wait. I don't really like Special K at all. Well, you're specialer than Special Crisp candy bars. Those things are fucking heaven, yo!
