 Maibe Josie 2008-06-02 . chapter 1I'm so surprised I have not reviewed this before. I mean that with all seriousness, because it's honestly one of my favorites and I recommend it to plenty of my internet friends.
To be honest I'm a fan of most of your stories, especially you're Toby/Manny pieces. You've got major skill in writing these characters in character, and I'm still stunned by this one and I find myself reading it over and over with a slight mist in my eyes.
It still breaks my heart when Sean is the one who asked to read the eulogy, it makes me wish that the writers of the show hadn't given up on Elan/Sellie so easily for the sake of Eman/Semma. Them doing that reminds me a lot of Liason vs. JaSam on GH (Liason being Eman and JaSam being Elan).
Please don't stop writing, and don't stop writing Elan. We need some more of them on here with the overwhelming mess of poorly written Eman.

 -lalatina15- 2007-10-14 . chapter 1So, I've composed myself, after crying through 3/4 of the oneshot. Then again, lately, when don't I cry when reading your work - your Sellie work particularly. *sigh*
So, "'You think of yourself way too highly.'" Ah! "Dream on..." anyone? Screams it! Love it! I just absolutely adore that line from her. So natural, so them. As a Sellie obsessee who has studied the couple fairly well for awhile now, I can tell you that you've done an amazing job capturing their characters and spirits in this peace. My goodness, it's left my speechless over here!
And then, "So odd to think that the guy she’s seen under car hoods and fixing bathroom sinks is on his way to being an officer." As well as "He’s always been here, with the cutting, her mom, a good chunk of her life. He may’ve left, but he’s here." *melts* over here! They way you described those... paints such a perfect image in my head of her feelings and the mood of their interaction. I adore those lines...
...I adore the entire piece! You're making judging ridiculously hard right now!
*hugs*
