Goldenbassets chapter 1 . 10/3/2017 That was so sweet it made my cheeks hurt with smiling! Super cute, I loved whenever Jackie and Hyde worked together, they were an unstoppable force. |
GreenAndZen chapter 1 . 9/16/2016 Omg. This was PERFECT. And your ending AN was everything a zennie wants to read. The answer is JACKIE. This was such a beautiful story. I can't highlight anything in particular because everything is so good, you can't help but read twice. Oh, the subtleties. To draw out this amazing flashback from a two-line exchange is brilliant. Aww. What's Hyde's is Jackie's and what's Jackie's is Hyde's. Partners in crime. There's nothing I love more than a couple who cause a little chaos. Haha. |
nannygirl chapter 1 . 3/11/2016 Terrific work on this story! I absolutely love flashback stories and missing moment stories and here you’ve managed to combine the two of them yay! AND you wrote it in Jackie’s point of view, capturing her voice so well! Great work there! Really liked the first scene and how it comes from the show, setting things up nicely for this sort of missing moment and telling us just exactly what the fine print was. Very clever! And since it’s written in Jackie’s point of view it’s not like we’re just getting something straight from the show you added the Jackie touch and did so very well in fact! She notices things that we viewers (at least myself) hadn’t noticed before. Loved the first scene with Jackie in school and having to watch the Valentine’s celebration around her alone. It’s not really sad but you can feel her annoyance lol I really liked how you gave us a glimpse at what Jackie’s school life was like now that none of the gang was there anymore. It’s nice to see Jackie still had some friends to hang out with and I really loved the exchange with Kayla that ‘subtly’ explains why she wasn’t part of the day’s festivities lol Nice work there! Next scene was another wonderful one. I loved the details of the coldness outside and the ice of the basement stairs. Really great details! Poor Jackie you could feel how cold she was and I like how you keep in mind how cold the basement could be. I was excepting the rest of the gang to be there when she got there so it was nice to see Hyde there alone giving the two a private moment. LOVELOVELOVED this part here: “"Hi," he says then reaches forward to meet my waiting lips. I smile when he kisses me. "Where've you been? It's nine o' clock." "Been doing homework," I mumble and suppress a shiver.” Not only is it a super adorable Jackie and Hyde moment but I LOVE that you remember Jackie doing her homework on Friday nights! And that same topic leads the conversation to the upcoming holiday that Hyde does not realize is near. That exchange was also great and I thought very in character, especially how Jackie tries to stay calm but it doesn’t last lol It was really nice to see Jackei say she didn’t want expensive items she wanted just a gesture to show how much he cared and so he did show her gesture Awww loved that moment and this part was written SO well! “"How about that gesture?" Steven murmurs when he pulls away just far enough so he can speak, his dizzying blue eyes piercing into mine. I can't help but grin at Steven's flashy show of affection. And all is forgiven. "Yeah," I sigh. "For now." You know how much I so love the way you write Donna and Jackie’s friendship so I was super excited when I saw there was a scene of that here! Yay! And it did not disappoint! The scene was awesome, vivid with great details, you could hear the characters voices and you had me laughing quite a few times too. Loved the image of Jackie having to paint her nails over newspaper even though that was armatures lol And soon the topic of conversation is on Valentine’s Day first on what Donna and Eric have planned them quickly over to Jackie and Hyde. Donna’s line: “"Why did I know that this conversation was going to circle back to you and Hyde?" she asks.” Classic Donna! And I loved how as Jackie vents on Donna’s trying to get her attention until she finally does and explains that if Jackie can’t be Hyde’s Valentine maybe Jackie should get him to be hers. Such a great idea! Glad Jackie likes it too, even though she won’t admit it to Donna out loud lol Nice job on the next scene, like how we get a few clues as to what Jackie got for Hyde. It’s small enough to fit in her purse…Then the scene goes into the basement and this time everyone is there and talking about their plans for Valentine’s Day. Fez’s was my favorite, being his own valentine so that the candy would stay his was too funny and very Fez lol Great way to end the scene too I could so see Jackie saying this to the group, “"Steven is going to get me the best Valentine's Day gift," I gush. "And he doesn't even know it yet." And finally Valentine’s Day comes. I loved how Jackie plans the day out, not really doing anything special, just acting like it’s an ordinary day but she’s really setting things up for the perfect moment. Thought you did such a great job with Jackie going to get the gift and feeling more than a little nervous about it. LOVED this part here: “I swallow the thick feeling in my throat. This was something totally new to me; a concept imbued in me my whole life suddenly gone into reverse. By my own hand.” And then she pulls the object out, a bear with the words Be Mine?—so cute! And asks Hyde to be hers. Hyde’s reaction is perfect, the way his eyes soften and he asks if shes asking him to be his Valentine aww! Again this next part was SO perfectly in character I could see it perfectly! “"No," I swallow again, but the word comes out firmly. "No, I'm just asking you to be mine," I pause. "Minus the valentine. Because, Steven I want everything you have and do to be a part of me as well. Every moment of searing ecstasy and joy, and every moment of agonizing heartbreak and suffering." I am unable to meet his unreadable gaze any longer, so I shift my eyes down to the teddy bear in my trembling hands. I push forward. "Always and forever. Not just today as a Valentine. Steven, I'm already yours, but will you please be mine?"” Awww and then the way Hyde keeps calling her name even taking the bear so that she’ll look at him so he can tell her yes and that he’s already hers…awwww! Loved the way you wrote Jackie’s happiness at hearing his answer too. And then is exchange was so perfect, I would have LOVED to have seen it one the show: “"I didn't get you anything for Valentine's Day, except - " "Steven," I reach out and touch his arm reassuringly. "Yes you did. By accepting my valentine. By being mine. That is the best Valentine's Day gift you could give me.""Except," he continues, looking up at me now, and it only just occurs to me that he had said 'except' when I interrupted him. "I wanted to tell you that I love you."For the second time in less than two minutes I am left completely speechless. My hands fly to my mouth, suppressing the squeal that I knew would make Steven cringe. "I lied," I finally manage. "That was the best Valentine's Day gift you could give me” I’m actually mad that we didn’t get to see it on the show but thank goodness for this beautiful piece of fanfiction! The ending to the scene was soo sweet! Then the way you closed up the chapter going back into present time and Hyde having read the fine print and deciding how he was going to handle things with Angie was wonderfully done. A great way to wrap up this so very lovely story! Marvelous work once more! I really did enjoy reading it! Thank you so much for writing it and sharing it with us. I look forward to reading more from you. Till then keep up the very great work! |
107derwent chapter 1 . 2/29/2016 That was a nice one! Cute and fluff, but no way it was OCC. :) I also find it interesting that he used Jackie as an ally. It really shows that they are a team and it fits to the main idea of the story. If only they remained like this till the end of the show. Oh and I really loved that you used some poetics in some lines. Pretty nice and good job! |
MistyMountainHop chapter 1 . 2/15/2016 What an adorable story! It deepens the seemingly throw-away - but actually *characterizing* - dialogue from "Angie" where Jackie states Hyde accepted her Valetine's Day card and said he would "be Jackie's" (i.e. "Be Mine"). I like the implication that by Hyde accepting Jackie's "fine print" and using her to do his dirty work against Angie that he's also accepting Jackie's ownership of whatever he inherits from W.B. |
Tinkerbell8587 chapter 1 . 2/14/2016 Very cute story. I really enjoyed it. :) |
Aaliamad chapter 1 . 2/14/2016 Super cute story :) Would love it if this were an actual episode. So sweet...thanks for sharing! |
debbiejw1961 chapter 1 . 2/14/2016 Very nice! Happy Valentine's Day. These are the kinds of things I imagine happened between Jackie and Hyde off screen. Hehe. Thanks for sharing! |
