A friend of mine was utterly obsessed with this novel and unchecked it from the library long enough to give me the privilege to read it (I'm certain it was the universe telling me to put down The Mortal Instruments and just read something else for once). Stubbornly enough, I let it sit untouched on my stand and ignored its presence while I continued with my current obsessions. Thanksgiving Break was nearly over, I thought about my friend and how reluctant he was to give the book over and felt a stab of guilt. To make up for it, I gave it a try.
And finished it in two days.
Greatest book ever! It brought me to tears and I could just die over the perfection of Simon and Bram. Seriously, I thought I would hate Martin forever but- I'm rambling.
My favorite character was Leah, hands down. And I totally get her, I'd make out with Nick anytime anywhere if he's got the sexy raspy singing voice Simon says he has. I wanted her with Nick probably more than I wanted Simon to realize who Blue was and because of that, I had to set the book down and pout when Abby and him became a thing (I hope I'm not the only one who felt this way). So, I feel like Leah most definitely got screwed over, although that's most likely biased as hell. So here's a fic that's going to follow the events of the book and be all about my favorite character getting her fairytale happiness.
Also, there will be ultra adorable Simon and Bram epicness. I'll write this in second person though because first person doesn't come naturally. Unfortunately.
This fandom needs to be bigger. Like, seriously. There's only six stories on this site. *Is not a happy camper*
ENJOY!
P.S. The title of this story is actually a song by Emeli Sandè, very beautiful and definitely recommened (coming from someone who listens to the stuff classified as "emo," this song was not). I know, it should've been Elliott Smith, but I feel like this just fits too nicely with my plans.
