BlueFireDragon17 2008-09-30 ch 8,	abuseI adore this story more than words can say. Your writing is incredible, and the characters are so real, so alive. The way they began their relationship here was just so perfect, and I love the way it's progressing. I absolutely can't wait for the next chapter.

Roses in May 2008-09-23 ch 1,	abuseI love this story. I think I've reread it about six times now. You get these characters so well. In my opinion this story should continue on forever. You don't need to have a life, just keep writing for my joy and entertainment =)

IGottaFindYou 2008-09-11 ch 3,	abuse“Another old lady,” she said, and he wasn’t sure if she was speaking to him or herself or the t.v., but at this point, it didn’t matter. Entering their third week of watching television all day together, he knew she didn’t need a response. He knew it should make him crazy to hear it, but her yelling was comforting somehow, even when she hollered at the Bob, who couldn’t hear her through the screen, “She can’t even reach the wheel!” And before he could stop himself, before he could remind himself to be Zen, he heard the thunder rumble outside. He was stuck in here, hemmed in at the sides, locked into this place on this couch in the basement. Maybe it was the pot, maybe it was just this one ** up summer, but he found himself commiserating with her. “I can’t watch The Price is Right again,” he told her, in agony. “I just can’t!” YES! IT'S FINALLY HAPPENING! For that first long afternoon, he knew was hers. Completely. Iloveyouiloveyouiloveiloveyouiloveyou!
I will be taking that cake 2008-09-06 ch 8,	abuseVery good, can't wait for new chapter. It'd be cool if you went right up to Kelso seeing them, and put in a bit of what he was thinking.
rebeldivaluv 2008-09-05 ch 8,	abuseThis chapter is so brilliant and so heartbreaking, and even the title is perfect. The song fits so well to Hyde's state of mind in this chapter, but then you have so many flashbacks in this chapter that "Come Up the Years" gets another meaning, too. You see so much of the stuff I see in Jackie & Hyde's early interactions. He's so alternately fascinated and repelled by her, and it comes across from the very first episodes. I loved the little J/H moment you added from Prom Night, and the fact that Hyde hated Jackie losing her virginity to Kelso. I don't think it's a matter of like or don't like with Hyde leaving. I think it's exactly what he would do - what he did do later. He would try to get away from her and her hold on him. The Sam moment stung, and I don't know whether the idea of Hyde knowing her first as "Jackie" and seeing something Jackie-like in her makes what happens in S8 hurt less or more. Though, I love what you added about Edna and Bud marrying in Las Vegas. Once again, Hyde lived down to his parents before him. Your descriptions of Wyoming and Salt Lake were gorgeous, and seemed to propel the story instead of distracting from it. And then there's Jackie. Of course she's already dreaming about her wedding, poor thing. And I like how she acknowledges even to herself that she can't behave with Hyde the way she did with Kelso - that she has to trust him, or it won't work. But then you closed out Sunday with this line: "This new Jackie would not be so controlling, and things would work out better for her." And I just wanted to cry and cry for her. There's so much foreshadowing here, and it's good you did that - since it will dovetail back into canon, but, yeah, it's still a sore spot. I loved the Jackie & Fez scene, though. It made me laugh in an otherwise heavy chapter, and proved again why those two make such great friends and would never, ever work as a couple. The "Have you ever been in love?" flashback was lovely and perfect. Jackie always pushing, and Hyde not wanting to be pushed, while secretly loving that she doesn't stop. I love that you said that him sleeping all night with her - clothes on - was the most intimate thing Hyde had ever done with Jackie or any other girl, because, um, yes, Hyde cuddling with her was always the greatest, and I still miss it, damn it. Those last few lines are killer. And now I'm all bitter because I have to wait for another chapter. I hope the writing process is going well, because I'm a hideously impatient when it comes to other people's WIPs. What, hypocritical, me? Completely. Anyway, can't wait for your next update!
LemonStar 2008-09-03 ch 8,	abuseSo I just read your entire story in two days while I should have been working but honestly, I could not stop. This is the best Jackie/Hyde story I have ever read and I just want to say thank you for taking the time to write it. It is brilliant and poetic and just when I think it can't get any better, I hit the next chapter button at the bottom of the screen and I am proven wrong. Thank you for writing this and update this when you can.
rebeldivaluv 2008-09-03 ch 7,	abuseEvery time I think one of your chapters can't be better than the last one, and every time it is. This chapter was just...from them both becoming more and more careless, because part of them wants to be open about it, to really, I think, the biggest fight they've had in this story. Your Hyde is so on the money. How he wanted to hit Eric for what he was saying about Jackie, but went along with it, and then when Jackie called him on it - on something he'd known was wrong, and didn't want to do - he immediately went on the defensive, and then on the attack. And I especially loved how you had Jackie turn around and let him have it, because she does that, and she's the only one who ever does call him on his crap, and he loves that about her, and how you turned it into him just kissing her and carrying her off over his shoulder. It was pretty much something that could have come straight from the show. And then his not-apology, and her "God, I want you so much." HEE. And Eric really could have it all figured out, if his brain didn't have such big Jackie Is Evil blinders on, couldn't he? Then, there's those last few days where Jackie reveals she's done things with Steven she never would do with Michael (of course), and Hyde's all pleased, and then it's all stripped away when stupid Kelso stupidly calls. When Hyde told her she could be out anytime she wanted, my heart sank. Because he's so insecure and afraid when it comes to her, and she just doesn't get exactly how important she is to him, or how every little thing about her and Kelso tears him up. And again, I'm projecting the show onto your fic and that's not fair. Sorry about that. Friday was brilliant. How Hyde spends a whole day hiding, realizing how happy she makes him, and how terrified he is of it. The last little scene with Hyde and Jackie is so lovely and bittersweet.
rebeldivaluv 2008-09-03 ch 6,	abuseGAH! Just gah. So much good, I don't even know where to begin. Jackie starting ever more to question what they are to each other is so quintessentially Jackie, and the fact that she wants to stop herself and can't just makes me love her all the more. Her dream of being Laurie and Steven beating up David Bowie coughKelsocough was right on the money. And Hyde telling her it was all a fling tied in so nicely to canon, but I loved how you ended it with him forcing out that "No" about wanting to stop. Then, later, from his POV, knowing he's addicted. I always love listening to the music you choose for each chapter, but this time it really did completely set the mood, especially in those first few scenes. That flashback to when they were kids was brilliant, how Hyde found Jackie so irritating and already saw the Formans as an escape, and Mrs. Forman as a surrogate mother. Aww, Baby!Hyde, I wants to snuggle him and give him a bath and make him a sandwich, just like Kitty. And, again, you got me with a simple moment. Hyde getting out of his car to look at everything around him. With that song in the background, I could visualize it, and just his awe at this new awakening in him. Oh! And then when you had him think "for the first time: I am happy," I felt actual tears in my eyes. I wonder if you even realize what a masterpiece you've written here. I'm certain the writers of the show didn't envision anything nearly this brilliant themselves. It's just...it's what falling in love should be. Oh, and HEE to Jackie and her brilliance in misdirection. I love how she messes with Eric's mind in order to keep the focus off of her and Hyde. You asked in your author's note at the beginning when you should end this fic, and my immediate reaction was: NEVER. Much as Jackie & Hyde want their little summer cocoon to last, I would be happy for this to be the neverending fic. However, if it must end sometime, I think it has to be with the definition of them as a couple, doesn't it? When Jackie finally gets her question answered. Whether that happens when they tell Eric & Donna they're going to stop and don't, or later when he finally calls her his girlfriend, is a matter of perception. (I vote girlfriend, if only because that's later, and have I mentioned I don't want this story to end?)
rebeldivaluv 2008-09-02 ch 5,	abuseThere are honestly no words to express how much I loved this chapter. The way you write Hyde, it just...he's so endearing, as he pretty much stumbles into love. I love the sentence where you said he felt something choking him. "Something like happiness." This story is so J/H-centric, that I tend to get wrapped up in them, but I have to say that your Eric and Fez are right on the money any time they show up. Eric is so in-character for how he must have been that summer, and I love how his friends just keep burning him about it. And Fez walks that oh-so-thin line between lovable and just plain skeevy. The smut was lovely, and I loved, again, how you made Hyde consciously try to make it good for Jackie. And I especially loved Hyde knowing that there was a difference between Jackie and other girls and not knowing what it was. Oh Hyde. But honestly? Even better than the smut, I loved the scene afterward, where Jackie was all insecure, and thinking it was over now, and Hyde just went and kissed her shoulder. Because...yes. Oh, and that quiet scene where she asked him if she was a **, and him telling her that it was just the way life is sometimes. I don't know why I'm basically quoting your story back to you. I mean, you know what you wrote. But these moments just crystallize in my mind sometimes, and you have only your brilliant writing to blame for that. I loved how you used the reappearance of Kat (I looked at the credits for "Burning Down the House" when I wrote the outtake scene for it, just to be sure, and it is Kat with a K) Peterson to put some forward momentum into the story, especially making Hyde confess that he wanted to be with Jackie. When I think of moments like that, I can never help but think that Jackie and Hyde would have made it just fine if Kelso never came back. And then I get bitter. But your story doesn't make me bitter. Your story makes me very, very happy. And I thank you for that.
