Seriously! IT'S SO LONG, AND SO BRILLIANT and each relationship between the characters is drawn so delicately and with love and care and such joy to the little details and flourishes that make up their individual interactions with another. AND ANDERSON. ANDERSON ANDERSON ANDERSON ♥ I love how you got into his head, how guarded he is at first, and how slowly, with the progression of the scenes, he opens up to everyone. The scene where he and Jon both hear the other's real laugh! Delightful! Or his relationship/roommateship with Joey, the scene with the picture of Anderson's Dad, especially was really well done. His little observations of everyone were also a treat to read, and I love the way you show his self-awareness about the dichotomies within him and how his perceptiveness about the others gets shown in all these little ways. THE TIMMEY AND ORSZ CAMEO!
ALSO: THE STEPHEN AND JON WORMING ITS WAY THROUGH EVERYTHING. LOVELOVELOVED THAT! How they can sometimes go off in their own little universe, how what happens in the last scene is a callback to your previous fic in the 'verse (♥)
AND OF COURSE RAHM. RAAAAAAAAAHM! I admit that I am normally also quite fond of reading Rahm/Anderson (previous conditioning through initially reading karanguni's fic in the waaaay early days of RBR lol), though I am generally a free-for-all pairing person, and non-shippy or not, seeing Anderson and Rahm as characters interact is always interesting, and I adooooooored the way you did it here. The gruff way Rahm is in face of Anderpant's blinding insight! AND SERIOUSLY: "Rahm smiles, suddenly, like car headlights flashing through a window at night, unexpected and lighting up the room for just a second." IS A STUNNINGLY VIVID DESCRIPTION. Really made me stop in my reading and go 'coooooool'.
AND TL;DR, I LOVED IT SO SO SO MUCH (as you might guess by my verbose reply, lol best thing to procrastinate from uni with EVERRRR). I WISH I COULD WALLPAPER MY ROOM WITH IT AND I AM SO THRILLED AND HONORED AND HAPPY THAT I GOT SUCH AN AWESOME AWESOME BDAY FIC GIFT ♥ YOU ARE GETTING SOME EPIC POSTCARDS FROM ROME, MISSY!!
!!!!!!!!!! TO INFINITY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
