It's great to see Chandler happy on his own. I'm really interested to see where this is going: Rachel is checking out the Chan Chan man, he seems pretty cozy with Laure and there's obviously something up with this Mary chick. The west coast has agreed with him :) can't wait for more!

Lookie that! I'm actually reviewing on time for once...

This fic has been seeming so innocent and fluffy in comparison to the mounds of smut, angst and smutty angst I'm being rec'd in Twilight fiction now. I like it. It's like coming home again. That and I love that I can relate to the journey, only, like, ten years early :P

This was my favourite chapter so far. Yeah, okay Mondler's broken up, but ya know what? It doesn't bother me. At all. I like Chandler being all self-dependent and friendship-y happy with Rachel. Rachel and Chandler are both so Rachel and Chandler, here, too. Sometimes I feel like people kinda 'normalize' (for lack of better description; you'd think as an English major I would have a better vocabulary, but no, that's the first word that came to mind) them to make them fit together, like they aren't suited to be together if they aren't. And right now, they're seeming kinda right, to me, like them coming together is the natural path for this fic to take. I'm thinkin' I'd really like a Randler hookup, and that'd make for interesting stuff with Monica's reaction to that... but yeah, I still really have no idea where you're going with this, though now I think I know where I want it to go (because no story is complete without a consummated love story!) :P

So continue, continue :) Slow and steady through Christmas beats the hell out of my update schedule which has raced to a full stop. Guess I have a New Year's Res.

(P.S. Sorry for the megaramble, but it means I like it, really.)

Happy Turkey Day :-)

Ooh you tease... more please and soon !

Though I was pretty skeptical about this plot, since I never thought Chandler would have ever had the feeling that him and Monica were just a "settle in" thing (I'm mondler, and I guess you got that :D) I have to say you are a very good writer, and you are handling well this situation, even if it is kind of unusual in a sit-com fandom. In this chapter, though, I kind of found Rachel a little (Well, a lot) OOC. In my opinion, she's not the kind of person who would say she would sleep anywhere just to be with a friend. Besides, I never saw this great friendship between Chandler and Rachel. Actually, I think she was the only one he wasn't *that* close with.
The Mary thing, I have to say, is very interesting, and even though my mondler side wants Monica and Chandler to be together, I'm sure that's not going to happen, so, nevermind :)
Okay, enough with the rambling, essentially, this was good, you should totally update, cause I want to know what is the deal with this Mary person xD

I practically jumped out of my chair when I saw that you updated.
You have me totally intrigued at the ending of this chapter.
I love the interaction between Chandler and Rachel and how they're still good friends.
Update as soon as you can! (:

Oh ho! Mary, huh? More to ponder. It looks as if it will be a long time before we get answers. Still, I'm enjoying the ride.

I really like this story. It's something different and it has nothing to do with Monica. I always go for the stuff that is so different from the actual show and this is. You're doing a great job.

Haha, I'm going all crazy. I swore I had read chapter five and reviewed it, but no, this is new stuff to me... I'm getting slow. Or maybe school actually is slowly driving me insane, and that isn't in my head.

I really appreciate that Chandler is a 30-something here, going through what I am as a twenty-something. Makes me feel like less of a dunce, but I can still appreciate the real feeling behind it.

As always, Nora is made of win, here. Her comeback about 'almost only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades' is so classically Nora. She's smart, but just a little bit sarcastic, like dare I say a female version of Chandler?

And okay, maybe I'm not heartless. I felt a twinge when Chandler said he missed Monica... though if three years later he hasn't found her again... well, I'm not sure I hold much hope for them. (Yeah, I might have a heart, but I'm a pessimist, so sue me.)

As always, keep it coming :)

Honey I have neglected you - (am deep in NaNoWriMo )
This is a fantastically well written and intriguing story and I love it - more soon please x

ack! I'm sorry! I didn't mean to totally bash your story.

anyways...I really liked this chapter. It's nice to see Nora somewhat normal and not way over the top. and I was super glad to see that Chandler missed Monica-I hope they find their way back together.

I appreciate this story! I can see why the tone and content would generate a lack of reviews, though: Chandler is going through something that most people go through (the fear of settling and having no idea who you are). Don't let it get you down. If anything, take it as a compliment-reading this makes me want to reflect on my life.

I am loving this story. What intrigues me to it is that yeah its unmondler like but thats the beauty of it because it's unique and something at least I haven't read before. I enjoy the aspect at looking at Chandler's life from a different point of view and that there's a lot more depth to him. He is one of my fav characters on the show and it's neat seeing a story like this. and btw I love the counting crows too so I like the song titles you're using for your stories.

Nice bit of filling in the gap. Okay, we're getting Chandler's POV, but I hope we'll get to know what's happening with Monica. Having all her hopes taken away could, if not break her, turn her very sour on the world, and I wouldn't be happy to hear that. (It's too late for Richard, I think). I'm not a great one for advertising, but I did try to imagine what might happen in The One Where They All Get Over It. I'll be interested to see what your take is.

Please tell me that was a hint of Mondler? Sort of? At least he misses Monica!! I do like this story and don't worry if I don't review!! This IS an underappreciated story!! It should get more recognition. Hope you update soon!

Ugh. I pop back on to see if anything has been updated, and find instead that my last review never went through. This site is going to drive me crazy, I swear... It was a while ago now, and I can't even remember what I said, exactly. It always comes out worse the second time.I thought you'd appreciate the review anyway, since this story is kinda under-appreciated for how thought-provoking it is. Or maybe that's just me.

Anyway... I think I remember saying something about liking that Chandler could move on and find himself. That it could have easily been a big bust ending with him crawling back, and that'd be no fun. Gotta appreciate (as a Chandler fan) that he is essentially being depicted as the glue of the group here, too. Ironic that they made fun of him for being replaceable when he and Monica were going to move to Tulsa... And Rachel... ah, it's nice to like Rachel. She's no so bad when she isn't acting spoiled. Not so bad at all :)

As always looking forward to the next :)

First of all, I was beyond devastated to see the Chandler still on the west coast three years later. Secondly, it's really realistic that the group fell apart after Chandler left. In groups like this, it takes only the slightest thing to make it all unravel--I once went to Disney World with a tight group of friends and, after a silly argument at the park, everyone kind of drifted. Anyways, as always, this chapter was awesome and I certainly wouldn't mind if this turned out to be 30 chapters.

With all that said, I'm going to point out a plot hole. This is really just the bitter journalism major in me, but even with Chandler's mom's connection and everything, the likelihood of him being a daily columnist is pretty much nonexistent. This doesn't really affect the story, though, so this is just really something to ponder :)
