I've just spent most of the afternoon finishing Shut Up and Drive by Trojie and uglowian.

It's really long and I actually started reading it a while back but then had a computer swap and lost my tabs, but today I got back into it and couldn't stop reading.

It's bandom, MCR and FOB and don't worry if you're not into cars or street racing as I'm not and that didn't affect my enjoyment at all.

Every person in the story was perfect, my heart ached for them all, especially Mikey and Pete and Patrick. And Andy, he was so good, and just everything about the story was great. I was speed reading like a demon near the end needing to know what happened.

Ohh cool, I’ll add it to my open tabs. I’ve not seen the fast and furious films, but I did enjoy Rush when I saw it so chances are I’ll enjoy it despite my lack of car knowledge

It's really long and has some beautiful stark language at times.

I was leaving comments on each chapter but by the end had stopped as I needed to know what was going to happen. It's hard to write good action scenes, but they managed it.

Yeah when it’s a long fic I tend to leave comments till the end now

Yeah it really is! I’ll find the time to read it soon

I have SO MANY feelings about this fic! Thank you for reminding me that I need to read it again so I can give the most flaily comment. <3 <3 <3

It's such a good story.

I was just saying above, it's hard to write great action scenes, but they managed it. And did that alongside wringing out my emotions and making me like Andy a lot. Which is a surprise as while I don't dislike him, mainly he's just there in the background.

It's SUCH a good story - I recently found I must have downloaded to kindle and not commented on it and rectified that. The language is very compelling

It's such a great story, and the word usage is perfect. So stark at times, and a fantastic fit for the tone of the piece.

I've had that story downloaded since it was originally posted. I read about 1/4 of it, got distracted, so this was a great reminder to go back and finish it!

Same here, but when I got back into it I couldn't stop. It's such a great story.

It was great, but took me ages to read.
