Terri. TERRI. OMG. You know I had huge expectation for this fic, right? I mean, it's not only Bob, but Bob the pre-school teacher. And then you said Jamia would be on the fic, too. So basically, I expected it to be the best fic ever.
BUT OMG IT WAS SO, SO MUCH BETTER THAN I EXPECTED IT TO BE! I loved EVERYTHING about it.
I loved the fact that Bob was a drummer (or well, former drummer) and that he was reserved, and quiet, and that he tried to be cold and badass but was a giant marshmallow inside (like when he started to think about the kids as "his" even before the semester started.
I loved that Ray was a guitar god and such a good, reliable friend. That Mikey was a scene queen but then he felt the need to settle down. I loved that Pete and Mikey happened at some point, even if we don't know under which circumstances they broke up. I loved that you include the brotherly interaction; how close they are, how much Mikey admires Gerard, hoy protective Gerard is of Mikey to the point of punching someone. I loved that Gerard and Lindsey were artists.
I loved that Frank and Jamia were together and so in love. That they had a million dogs. That Frank climbed Bob. That he was an annoying little shit sometimes but always had his friends' interests in mind. That he wouldn't hesitate to punch someone and mean it if they hurt Mikey.
I loved all those things because they're so THEM. IDK, I feel like those things (or at least some of them) should always be included in fics, because it's some of the stuff that makes them, well, them.
And of course, I loved the fic itself. It was a perfect balance between adorableness, and pining, and angst, and confusion, and humor, and comfort, and love, and friendships. I really, really enjoyed reading this a lot.
Also: RAY NEEDS TO GET LAID. It's not fair that he's the only one who's not getting any!
