You’re definitely one of my favorite authors now. There was so much I loved about this as your other stories. First, the characterization was phenomenal as always. I don’t read too much stories with Fran involved, but it was nice seeing her here. Now you characterized her was so lovely. Also, It was such a pleasure to read the flashbacks during each decade between James and Jason. The emotions between the two were so realistic, at moments at felt like I was either going to squeal or cry. I also enjoyed seeing other familiar faces like Slash—it was a nice touch. Now only if him and Axl would get along! Your stories have definitely become favorites of mine, and I’ll have to come back to reread them.
P.S.
The back door man comment also had me laughing much like James, as well as the gay cowboys from hell one.
b) I love James, Jason and Lars (and Kirk,Rob, Cliff and even Dave)
c) I love this fic, thanks for keeping it up. I hope the expectation of the new album inspires you to write.
It's so nice that it's well thought out and not just scenes of the boyz macking on each other (not that there's anything wrong with that).
Keep it up, it's great. And thanks for not trying to white-wash Fran and the kids, it a great twist that Jason is thinking about them.
