Well, of course, I'm reviewing! I am bound by my fangirl love of you and your stories!!! :)
I loved this story because first, of Bella's bestie, Gaycob! Gaycob is one of my faves in fanfics! I adore him. I enjoyed their friendship and banter and the bet was great. Second, Bella is in early education. As a former Early Educator - this just makes me happy!! Next, I love piano bars! One of my favorite places to go - EVER! And then, you gave me a piano playing, fuckhot, delicious Edward. Oh and the visual of him on the counter, in the breakroom, in front of the mirror - reminded me of a very yummy VF pic - that I may or may not have on my computer!!!
Lastly, I loved this cos you found a way to use: Run like the wind, Bullseye! Huge props for the TS2 reference.
Oh, and hot, hot, lemon!!!
Author's Response: Lobsters, I love your fangirling and hope you never quit! I love reading your reviews!
I've only read a couple of other Gaycobs, but I do love him. I can appreciate canon Jacob for the friendship he has with Bella, but never the romantic element. I never bought that for a minute in the books; it was always just a substitute for Edward, IMO. But as a gay best friend? That totally works for me!
I have a weak spot for early education because my son is VERY dyslexic, and they have made all the difference for him. It is perhaps one of the toughest jobs to do, and I wanted to show my appreciation by including that in the story.
The piano playing Edward was all Angry Badger Girl--she wanted her Edward to play piano in a bar. The fact that you feel my Edward was fuckhot and delicious makes me thrilled! I very nearly scrapped this piece because I didn't think it was hot enough, but my beta kicked me in the shins over that assessment and told me to just post it. Glad that I did!!
NGL, I was looking at the VF pic as "inspiration" for this one-shot--Angry Badger Girl was all over the VF shoot, so I had to include that in it for her. It is such a difficult challenge to do research like this for my writing, but someone has to do it, you know? The sacrifices I have to make, it's just awful. ;)
You are the ONLY reader who commented on my TS2 phrase, so extra reviewer bonus points for you!! I LOVE TS, my son watched those movies nonstop when he was young. I had to throw that in there, but was disappointed no one else caught it. Perhaps they were too focused on Edward's fingers?
Thanks again for the love--you rock my world!
