seperis | qaffic: stumble and fall, 13 (WAS complete, qaf, Justin, Brian, Daphne)

I promised myself that if I was good and made serious headway into at least one other WIP, I would just post this thing, just to get it out of my folder for good. I did, and I was good, and now I get hot chocolate.

So. Stumble and Fall, QaF, Justin, Brian, Daphne, follow-up to my Echo and Steps by

josselin. The thing that wasn't a thing, then grew.

In the future, I will never, ever let Josselin trick me into writing. Ever, ever, ever.

OHMYFUCKINGGOD. !!!!!

*hyperventilates*

...Okay, maybe now would be a good time to go actually read it. But oh my god, I am so excited. Complete! Yay!

*grins* Glad to have the support!

*hugs*

wow! i've been waiting for that one. awesome

*off to read*

i'll be back with more coherent comment later ;)

Yay!! I am so excited you finally finished this. :)

I'm about to reread it for the like 10th time!!

*hee* Thanks for the vote of confidence! I hope you enjoy!

OMG! This was amazing. ♥

Your writing style is so, *so* great... I could actually see everything happening...and the ending...my god, the ending was just perfect.

*loves so hard* ♥

How It's Gonna Be it's next... right? *wink*

what is it about?

ciao

is How It's Gonna Be just as good as stumble and fall? damn.

It is. :D

Less angsty, more funny (but also kinda creepy sometimes) and just plain good.

what is it about?

OMG I don't know how to describe it...how about you read it and see for yourself? ;-)

Ciao!

XOXOXOOXO

Aww, thank you so much! *glows* I'm glad you enjoyed it!

How It's Gonna Be it's next... right? *wink*

Strangely, there will be. I mean, it's been a year for going back and finishing my WIPs. Very strange. So very possibly, yes. I mean, I hanve't given up on it.

*happy sigh*

This makes me very happy. Seriously. :D

♥

I waited how long to update this? LOL. Wonderful, just wonderful. You did a great job on this one!

Tahnk you! I'm so glad you liked it!

I can't begin to describe the noise that I made when I read that you'd finished this. Nor can the two cats who scrambled to get to safety in the back of the closet LOL.

This story is truly wonderful, just filled to the brim with goodness. I wish I had the language skills to verbalize how much I adore this story. It literally thrums with life. You've tossed these characters into an improbable, yet not impossible, situation and explored it thoroughly all the while sustaining authentic voices and a perfect rhythm. There are too many scenes and lines for me to pull out and quote but I do have to say I loved that you mirrored Brian and Lindsay's scene at Gus' birth with Justin and Daphne's first shared moment after Aaron's arrival.

Thank you for finishing this. It's been one of my favourite QAF WIPs but knowing what a fickle friend the creative muse can be I was prepared to accept that it might never be finished. Given the end result I'm so glad I don't have to. Gah, I could truly go on for hours here but incoherency is lurking around the corner so I'll hit post comment now.

Thank you so much. I sat on it forever, and then it *finally* decided to move. *hugs* I'm thrilled you enjoyed it.

OH, THANK GOD.

THANK.

GOD.

OKAY GOING TO READ NOW OMG.

*giggles*

okay, back from reading...

wow, just wow!

i hadn't read any of it before so it was all new to me, but i absolutely loved it. it was so intense, so gut-wrenching at times, so emotional and just...*guh*

i loved the way you portraied Justin and how he was feeling left out and hurt and just doubting everything about him (and brian and daphne).

i loved how you got them to communicate once again, slowly, taking it one step at the time. very realistic.

and i just loved the ending, glad that everything turned out allright (or at least has that potential)

and oh yeah, the sex scene (or the prelude thereof) was HOT...all these possible ways it could have happened and in contrast the way it actualy happened.
It won't be this.
His hands won't shake and his throat won't close, and he won't, he won't, he won't--
"Tell me you want me to stay."
Say it.

When he gets home, he takes out the acceptance letter and smoothes it on the desk with hands that won't be still.
Brian said stay. this part just left me breathless...

thanx for writing

xxx

Thank you so much! I was just relieved I could finally finish it and get it beta'ed!

*hugs* I'm glad you enjoyed it!

That? That's the way words are supposed to be used. The whole thing whirls along and then bam, you're flat on your ass and everything's okay and the love is there and I'm just floored.

If I had a cookie icon, you'd be seeing it right now. =P

*giggles* Thank you so much. I honestly think this is probably the weirdest thing I've ever tried to write. I'm glad it made sense for you.

*hugs* Double thank you for the lovely feedback.

oh jenn. OH JENN. there really are no words. i mean, seriously. i cannot come up with a single coherent sentence to describe how amazing and beautiful and absolutely perfect this turned out to be. i am so glad that you've finished it, and yet i can't help but with that it would keep going forever.

also, baby mama drama \:D/

burnitbackwards: i am reading stumble and fall.
burnitbackwards: it traumatizes me so much, and yet i cannot stop.
ragingpixie: i know, omg. i was compelled.
ragingpixie: i love how she writes
burnitbackwards: me too.

burnitbackwards: AND I LOVE THIS PART:
burnitbackwards: Her hands smooth down his hair as she steps away, still grinning, like she knows something he doesn't. "Right. Dumb kid. When you're nineteen, it's all life and death, isn't it? This or that, no in-between. Don't look at me like that, kiddo. I know you, I knew you the day I met you. Whatever the hell you think you're doing now? Get your head outta your ass. What do you want?"

It's on the tip of his tongue, because there's always only been one answer to that question. He bites it back. "What if--what if it isn't possible?"

He takes in her surprised frown, like she's wondering why he started speaking a language she doesn't understand. "Since when do you care, Sunshine?"
ragingpixie: i will tell you when you're finished what my favorite line was
burnitbackwards: okay i just re-read what is my favorite part.
burnitbackwards: this is where it ended before she finished.
burnitbackwards: when brian takes justin home.
burnitbackwards: that is the most perfect scene of all time.
ragingpixie: you're close to my favorite line
burnitbackwards: JUST TELL ME
ragingpixie: When he gets home, he takes out the acceptance letter and smoothes it on the desk with hands that won't be still.

Brian said stay.

ragingpixie: akldsjflasdlf
ragingpixie: I FELL APART RIGHT THERE.
burnitbackwards: !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
burnitbackwards: I LOVE EVERY WORD OF IT
ragingpixie: BRIAN SAID STAY
burnitbackwards: I WANT TO HAVE IT TATTOOED ON MY BODY.

*rolling on the floor* This entire conversation kills me. Just does.

*hugs* I'm glad you enjoyed it, chica. And see! I used the icon!

*happy shiver* This has been one of my favorite ow it hurts so good fics for a very long time. And now that it's done and done so damned good, I can die happy. Thank you. :*

Thanks so much! *hugs* I'm glad you liked it!

And deeply glad I finished it! *phew*

I have yet to read that. *is shameful* But QaF fic doesn't seem to do much for me right now. Dude, someone should slap my wrist. Hee.

*snickers*

*grins* Though since then, I have read it and I loved it to bits. You have this really unique way of painting your characters and I've never been able to resist liking any of them. Hell, I loved your Lois long before I actually started to like her in fic.

::standing ovation!!!!::

You are the only person on earth who could have pulled this fic off and it was so worth the wait :-)

*laughs* Thank you! I am absolutely *thrilled* I finally finished it. Near the end there, I was getting freaked out about ever getting it out.

*hugs*

Totally worth waiting for--Thanks.

Thank you! I'm glad you liked it!

I am soooooooooo glad I dropped in to check flist before going to bed. Yum-yum. Thank you so much! It's wonderful. Especially when Justin starts thinking of things he'll do for/with Aaron, and he thinks that he'll let Aaron roll in paint "in the loft". Yeah.

Hee! Thank you, honey. I'm thrilled you enjoyed it!

::flails::

THERE ARE NO WORDS, SO YOU GET BUTTPRINTS.

<333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333

*collapses and dies*

::pokes you with the resurrection stick::

As Justin's ass magic has the power to heal, so my buttprints have the power to kill. It's a sobering knowledge.

oh Jenn that was great ...well worth the wait ..I just love your writing...the feel of the characters ...I agree with quinn222..you are the only one who could pull this off.....thank you, I enjoyed this fic very much.
being a pushy, needy Jenn writing fan here!!! when are you writing more of 'How it's Gonna Be'..that was the first of your fics that I ever read (read all the rest since then, but started with this one)

ciao

Thank you so much!

re: HIGB--It's still in the active pile of WiPs. I'm just still--pondering it?

*winces*

Thanks again for the lovely feedback!

That was wonderful, thank you so much for finishing and posting.
I love your writing and seing you post fic makes my day.
I absolutley adore your Brian and Justin dynamics which stay true to Brian being an ass and Justin being young and them being in love and not really having to change in order to be together. Because who they already are is pretty damn cool, they just need some time to work through it.
loved it, loved it, loved it

Arcinian

Because who they already are is pretty damn cool, they just need some time to work through it.

I am so behind that statement.

*hugs* Thank you so much for the feedback. I'm glad you enjoyed the story!

Beautiful. The premise has always been difficult for me, I don't think I made a secret of that with you ;), but the fluidity and style is just gorgeous. I could see it all so clearly, especially the mad dash at the end through the streets of Pittsburgh. And when I came upon Brian sitting on the floor at the hospital, GUH. It was like someone drew it in my mind. Congrats on finishing it!

*hugs* Thanks so much.

*grins*

I was so glad you posted it! I have been waiting forever for you to finish your edit... and I'm glad you did!

Loved the entire thing, loved the ending... loved you for writing it!

See, I had *way too much fun* with it.

Thanks for the feedback. I'm so glad you enjoyed it!
