Aw! Great ctory! i loved it! you really got into the characters mind set! well done!:D

Yeah, so this was jut a tad late, but it was worth it! Having each of the boys spend time with Sandy and Kirsten was a wonderful, endearing plot device. I loved the moments between Sandy and Seth. Singing along with the movie and hanging the lights. You nailed Seth's voice. And I never believed he was easy to write. And I thought you wrote the best Kirsten Ryan moment ever. Most people write them so sappy and Kirsten's directness, bluntness whatever you want to call it was perfect. There was enough bonding and sweetness to make this perfect. I hope you have more time to write this summer.

I loved this story... thank you!

Impressive!

I loved all the scenes and the conversations.

Great story. really.

Kirsten gripped him tightly. "It's always been your home, Ryan. You just haven’t always lived here."

I'm just about bawling, here! Lovely, lovely line! I adored this story. I think you did a good job capturing the character's voices (Seth being the season 1 version rather than the self-obsessed S2 version). I'd love to see a follow-up story that goes into Ryan's relationship with his Dad. Fourth of July theme maybe?

What a beautiful, emotionally resonant and wonderfully satisfying conclusion to this story. Even though both parts were poignant (and even though I have a soft spot for "Meet Me In St. Louis,") I couldn't help being especially moved by the Sandy-Ryan scenes. Particularly that line: "It's always been your home. You just haven't always lived here."

Perfect. A little Chrismukkah miracle, and well worth the wait.

LOVED Kirsten/Ryan, LOVED Seth/Sandy, LOVED this story! Great job. :D

Fantastic. I think that word best describes it.

I love the Seth and Sandy bonding, and when Seth hopes that being devious is genetic. Too rarely do we get to see Seth appreciating his parents, and you did it so wonderfully.

And oh, Ryan and Kirsten. My heart broke for the poor boy when he admitted that he missed his mother still, and all he wanted was for her to be there. And they finally talked to each other honestly, and that was awesome, and oh, when she tells him that it has always been his home...Good Lord, where's my tissues?

Excellent, excellent job! I absolutely loved it.

please please update soon...I'm dying to find out what comes next :)

Just read all of this, and I cannot say enough how much I love this story. With the storylines we're getting right now, it's nice to read something that's ten thousand times better than the show! Not to mention, and I may be in the minority, but it's nice to read a story with Lindsay in it where she's not being absolutely moronic. I loved her in the beginning, especially with Ryan, b/c after all, isn't anybody better than Marissa. Hope you write more soon, I'm looking forward to it!

It's really good, update soon.

That was great. It just made me realize how much I miss your writing. You must update soon. Ryan's awkwardness and stroll down memory lane was so sad, but I was given hope by Sandy's determination to figure out what was wrong with Ryan. It also made me curious was there more than what we were told?

Thanks for the update! :-) I love poor sick seth fics.. my guilty pleasure, hehe

Now I'll just wait here for the next chapter ;-)

This is a nice exploration of Ryan's jealousy. Looking forward to more.

is chapter four up now then?

how about now?

Huh? huh? huh?
