A/N and Acknowledgments: When I first got this prompt for the ReverseBB, I was thinking that I could do a dark and moody Cool World thing with it. That was before petite_madame got a hold of me and sent me everything that she had done and, as I flipped through the vast amount of incredible artwork, I realized two very important things: 1. Dark and moody was kind of out (the peas wouldn't let me! ._. ) and 2. there was absolutely no way that I was ever going to be able to live up to the prompt. I certainly tried my best, though, because I really wanted to do this prompt (and PM) proud.

I'd like to thank petite_madame for being not only an amazing artist but just an awesome person in general. She's amazingly talented, highly productive and incredible with the ideas--an inspiration all around and despite all of that, she still, somehow, manages to be humble, down to Earth, and extremely supportive (I have no idea how she even exists, really o_O ). This has just been an amazing experience to go along with an amazing prompt and I know that my choice of artist is one of the biggest reasons why. What I loved is just how collaborative the entire experience was in that I would be inspired by her ideas and then vice-versa. I loved how many ideas were generated simply by going back and forth. It was a very cool thing to be part of. And if you've seen petite_madame's art posts then you know just how big this thing got. It's just hilarious because this fic is based on a comic book artist who's creations come to life and here it is ending up with quite a bit of it illustrated. It's almost no longer a fic but instead more a graphic novel! xD

Also, thanks to entropyrose for the beta and steelknight and rozabellalove for the insanely quick read-throughs. Plus inanna_maat and kruel_angel for the modified doc file and pdf respectively and matchboximpala for the pdf of the timestamp. You're all amazing. ♥

Finally I'm here!))))
I should say first, I sincerely hope Petite_madame is hanging around, because I would not be able to separate feelings about fic and art - really, you made an awesome team job!
Uh, it's so hard to write something coherent, while all I want is to put here a thousand heart smiles and keep running circles on the celling
I'll try to remember all the things that I wanted to write about while reading, but don't expect me to be too logical =)
PEAS!!! It's amazing how you've captured pictures' mood, these little green creatures are so adorable and funny and I loved them drawn as much as I loved their dialogues =) (I didn't pay attention at first at what was written on the picture with peas on the clock, but when I got to that moment in text, I finally did - and omg, I laughed so much!)
And the scene with Ross and Jensen unexpectedly turned out such a kink! Though I don't accept any pairings where Jensen is not with Jared, I caught myself at the thought that I would die for a little creepy evil!Ross/victim!Jensen sidestory, ugrhph that moment was so damn smoking hot! Nevermind me and my crazy flow of feelings
It was really like some comics story, all naturally and easy - ok, you say, there's Jared with a bunch of peas coming to life? Heeee, I go with that, because somehow the way you write it makes reading fun and easy and believable. Yeah, I know it's all petite_madame with her stunning imagination, but you really made her pictures come to life in your text.
I loved the J2 relationship, here I don't have much to say... Besides maybe - HAHA, that was so funny you, evil author, made Jared virgin! A little empathy (you should take some courses of it, together with Sam)! Poor guy XDDDDDD

And one more thing - I love your Jensen so much. You... It's like you really feel him, or maybe our visions are just much alike, doesn't matter till I enjoy it so much =)

Thank you and petite_madame, you are awesome, each one of you and as a team as well. I enjoyed your project a lot!

Hee! I'm so glad that you liked it! I was definitely trying to play to the mood of the pictures--especially PM's funnier ones (and, yeah, I tried to work in as much as PM's details and original dialogue as possible! I loved the challenge of that--it was kind of like having a structure in which to work).

I really liked writing the Ross/Jensen scene. It was hard to restrain myself (I really wanted to go 'further' if you know what I mean ^_~ ).

I'm so glad that I was able to be PM's pictures to life for you. I'm really glad that I got a chance to do that as well.

I know, poor Jared! xD It was something that I decided about halfway through the fic and I just knew that I had to do it! There's no way that Jensen EVER would have given him a love interest (he growled about even Sandy when she was just Jared's pretend girlfriend); he would have been way too jealous! So, poor, poor, Jared. Having to wait that long to finally be able to get laid!

I loved writing this version of Jensen, dark and snarky and just a little bit dorky. =) I'm glad that it lines up so well with yours!

>>I was definitely trying to play to the mood of the pictures
And you definitely succeed!

>>It was hard to restrain myself
Oh fuuuck, yeah, I know exactly what you mean, you are teasiiiiiiing!

Jensen is unforgivably selfish. No car, no girlfriend boyfriend, did he mean to make Jared's life as miserable as his? XD Evil Jensen! And what would happen if Jared didn't come to life? It's frightening only to think about!)))))))

I would love to read your version of dark!Jensen, if it is Ross from this fic or any other bad behaving Jensen =)))))

Sorry about the late reply; final exams are such a bitch.

Hee. He was saving Jared for himself! xD He was too jealous.

I actually rather like dark!Jensen, too.
