Well! Incredibly interesting; I like your different take on the world.

This was an interesting adventure. I love how you characterized both and even with the disabilities made them different and yet still go with the story.

Hahahaha, this was amusing. I love it when they get to be chained together.

I like your use of detail.

Okay. They are both crazy. Touched int he head. Two jokers short of a pack.

*lol*
I would pumell sands too.

Ah, poor El. I feel sad for him.

I get what you did. They took El's eyes and they took Sands hearing...how perfectly brilliant! and all this time I thought you were talking about Sands because sometimes we do have him playing the guitar.

Interesting use of swear words...some combinations I never saw before.

Interesting start and a good use of detail.

Wow.

What a great concept for an AU. I love it! It's an interesting twist, instead of having Sands being dependent on El or Ramirez, El is the one dependent on someone else. And having it be Fideo is awesome.

I hope you write a sequel to this story. I'd love to know why Fideo turned on them, and why he comitted suicide - if it was suicide. Most of all I'd love to see what happens next between El and Sands. You write them both very well, very in character, even in an AU. That isn't easy to do, and yet you did it wonderfully.

This is a really nice concept, and well handled with a distinctive descriptive voice. I love the way you handle El's changed relationship with his music. And most of all, it *feels* very Mexico - all dust and grit and everything broken, but still something to be salvaged out of it.

*smiles and hugs the author* However much people beg for a sequel, if YOU feel the story is done (and no rabid plot bunny bites you) you should not give in. Let the narrative strings hang. This was a good story of hurt people finding SOMETHING in common. And well, now I will be thinking about sex with no sound...

*sighs* Fideo REALLY should have checked Sands even MORE thoroughly... I think.

*smiles* The brokeness of everyone and everything is... touching (I searched for a proper adjective for long time and I am still not convinced it is the right one here) I like this.
