This was so sweet. I love how even though you only had four scenerios, you still implied that every guy has the back of the other three. It was super fantastic.
Fish Stick Friday chapter 1 . 12/6/2011
Um yeah...so I'm just going to focus on reviewing for now and not writing. I think I got so caught up in being able to have reviews to read while at work (on breaks and lunch) that I didn't take as much time on my writing as I normally do, so I think the best thing for me right now is to not even worry about writing anything for the time being...

"Life sucks." Amen, Kendall! A-freaking-men!

Wow! Given my current emotional state, I REALLY don't need to be reading his right now. It's just it was the next one-shot on your list that I hadn't reviewed, and I'm trying to do them in order from oldest to newest.

Gah! Carlos is just so adorable! Just you watch. 2012 will be the year when Carlos overtakes Logan for my favorite BTR character, and I never EVER thought that would be possible.

Aww! Carlos, sweetie, you're not a moron. I actually think you are the SECOND smartest of the group. Smarter than James and even smarter than Kendall. I mean you attached freaking rockets to your skates! ROCKETS! I'd like to see Kendall try to do that!

Um...yeah...I REALLY shouldn't be reading this right now. Carlos and his tests was practically like me and my failed singing auditions. Like Carlos said, you don't even know how difficult it is to pick yourelf up after repeated, successive failures until you experience it yourself.

I liked how you mentioned Logan's sweater vest. I have to admit that made me smile.

Yeah, and Carlos and Logan fighting? You just killed me. Congratulations. I do like that Logan's not giving up on Carlos. I like that he doesn't feel helping Carlos is a lost cause.

When you and Laura have Logan have a panic attack, I really have no idea what Logan's going through having never had a panic attack myself. Logan's the one I relate to the most, but I can't relate to him when he has a panic attack. I just read it and feel bad, but can't really empathize (?) with him.

Ugh! I hate vain, narcissistic James. He was like that most of season one, which was why I didn't really like James in season one.

Ew! James feet were in a sleeping Logan's face? I don't care if you JUST took a shower, I don't want anyone's feet in my face whether I'm conscious or not.

Haha. That bit about Logan being a late sleeper is hilarious! Mostly because I think the exact opposite of him. Like I would expect him to wake up early. Or earlier than Kendall, James, and Carlos at least.

I liked the dig on Kendall's eyebrows.

Okay, I had to admit that Kendall saying that James looked good was a little...gay sounding...not that there's anything wrong with gays.

Kendall has Bieber Fever? Uh...there aren't even words...I'm just going to leave that one alone...

" a flailing log." LOL!

Oh God! Carlos has the lyrics to Justin Bieber songs memorized, and he mutters them in his sleep? Aw Carlos, why did you have to do that? You just lost a few points with me, Carlitos...

See? One thing that you and Laura are SO good at doing, and I'm NOT is giving each of the boys equal time in the spotlight. That kind of gets into what you and I were talking about in your review that upset me, huh? You and Laura ALWAYS explore how EACH of the boys are FEELING. See? And you said I know my way around a page. *scoffs*

I actually maybe shouldn't review right now. I'm in a rotten mood. Maybe when I calm down, I'll be a happier reviewer...

Aaaaaaaaaw that really was too sweet! My poor teeth! XD That was adorable. :3
forgetthemoon-ignorethesky chapter 1 . 11/3/2011
I...Love...This!

As Embarresing as this is, I have to say I just realized...I AM Logan. The way you wrote him, thats me. Poor Logie, I know how he feels :(

I really, really love this! You're like, THE BEST author ever!

This made me cry. I love knowing people care, and the intro this adorable set of one shots is just insanely incredible.
IcedTeaa chapter 1 . 8/25/2011
Whoa. No, like. WHOA. I'm stuck between laughing and crying right now and if anyone walks in right now this is going to be pretty darn hard to explain. Tears woman, TEARS.

Let me start with Kendall. His anger was just SO there, I could feel it, no lie. I totally got this because somedays you're just so fed up and tired and angry but at the same time your fed up of being angry too and you don't know what to do with it. The part where Kendall was angry with the ceiling was EPIC and a amazing idea, and kind of made me laugh but then feel bad about it. And Carlos! He's so simple but I think that's the best part. Kendall only needs to hear that one sentence and that's enough, which is SO SWEET! And the part where Kendall turns away from Carlos, because he doesn't want to seem weak. Yeah, that's me all over. Crying in front of people is one of the WORSE things on this planet, poor Kendall. WOMAN WHY MUST YOU CRUSH MY KENDALL WITH SO MUCH STRESS?

Carlos. ewkjfhe;lrhlwe. I. LOVE. IT. Most authors I think wouldn't paint the picture of Carlos being angry at himself failing so many times, but you did and I freaking love you for it! Because Carlos is only human after all, and it's nice to see him like, not having to smile all the time because I'm horrible and love a angsty Carlos. You just don't see it enough. Logan comforting him was just PERFECT and how he motivated him and IT WAS ADORBALE.

OH, MY, GOD. I feel like you have connected me and Logan, just because of his emotions! The way you described his panic was incredibly accurate. When I was little I use to suffer from some pretty nasty panic attacks and it's just not nice, bleh. The part where his heart was thumping and he couldn't control it- BAM. That part just got me, don't ask why. I dunno, you have a way of just making things GET to me y'know? WHEN JAMES CAME IN GAWD. Died of the love between those two boys. Probably my favourite comforting part in the fic just because it was SO SO SOOOOOOOO CUTE AND HEARTBREAKING AT THE SAME TIME.

I need a moment to compose myself before I even begin to talk about the James part. KAMES. FREAKING. KAMES. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. I LOVE IT SO SO SO SO MUCH, I WANT TO PRINT IT OUT AND STICK IT TO MY WALL AND READ IT EVERY SINGLE DAY.

"You know you look fine, right?" he asked, both eyebrows arched, which was an impressive sight indeed on Kendall Knight. James crossed his arms and rolled toward the wall, not meeting the blonde's eyes anymore.

"Yeah."

"You know you look good, right?"

"I guess..."

"You know you look perfect, right? Just as perfect as you want?"

"..."

"Jay Jay..." Kendall sighed, noting the tears welling in his best friend's eyes.

THAT RIGHT THERE. EEEEEEEK. I LOVE YOU. WRITE MORE KAMES RIGHT NOW OR I WILL DIE. If you loved Kames as much as I did, well, then you'd be the perfect human being. The part about Kendall's eyebrows made me laugh so MUCH. I seriously found it hilarious. MY POOR JAMES. I just LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOOOOOVE YOUR JAMES ANGST TO THE POINT WHERE IT JUST GIVES ME A REASON TO EXSIST. YI dound the whole James part really sad and heartbreaking but I found the Kames part so funny ahhhhh. Kendall checking out Justin Bieber. LOL. That image will be forvever stuck in my head.

So overall you just made me laugh, cry, and yeah. I LOVE YOU FOR IT, which sounds kind of strange and I'm SO SO SO SOOOOO SORRY for the super late review. But yeah, this is now officaly my favourite oneshot by you. So there. BE PROUD.
Robin-n-Hoodie chapter 1 . 8/23/2011
Whoa! okay, this was amazing, seriously! First off, you are a really amazing person for praying for us all. It's just so... amazing. Yes, I keep saying that word, sorry, lol. But it's true.

Now. KENDALL AND CARLOS! AWWW~! Hardly anyone writes Kendall like this and I just love it! It's nice to know I'm not the only one who wrote him just kind of breaking... even though my story only has one chapter but still! Kendall angst! I love how Carlos just says "It's okay to miss him, buddy" and that is just so... perfect. Like that's all HE ever has to say.

CARLOS AND LOGAN! Part of what makes their relationship/chemistry really connect is how opposite they are. Carlos is just so free. The "rush" of Big Time Rush, like, he doesn't ever really need to think things through, he just sees things as they are. Where as Logan's all thorough and just... Logan-ish. Lol. I LOVE how Logan's just all "don't give up, and I won't either" And then Carlitos is just so... smiley in the end :D

LOGAN AND JAMES! I LOVE LOVE LOVE writing and reading about Logan being all panicky because it's just so... him. "Panic. That's what it was. Paralyzing panic berating him with all it had, what felt like all the time, allowing him quiet spells only to build up it's strength. A panic that plagued him through dreams and daylight, making sure it's presence was known. A panic that kept him bursting at the seems his whole entire life." ~I love this, like I don't know even how to describe why, it's just so PERFECTLY WRITTEN, ya know? So, um, James, J.J, Jamie Bear? He was so adorable! Him calming Logan and stroking his hair and saying ""We're okay, we're okay. We're all okay."

"'We're' he had said.

'We're' because there was no way in hell James would let Logan go through a single day of this alone." ~Absolutely perfect.

JAMES AND KENDALL! This one just made me smile! I mean I hate that anyone would have to go through that kind of pressure. But, he doesn't have to change anything. When Kendall said he was perfect the way he was, I was all like "YAAAAAY! EXACTLY" It was so cute

So, you see, I loved this. Just in case you couldn't already tell. :D
2 kool 2 spell 'kool' right chapter 1 . 8/20/2011
I couldnt review this for like two days cuz FF was giving me the wierdest login issues. Like, it would let me login, then it would like immediatly log me back out..and like, I dont even know.

Let me just start off by saying ASVHJBNVCYBJGTAS.

Like ohmygosh I totally love the chain thing. Like how they all lean on eachother like that. And it all totally makes sense too, as to why each individual leans on whichever one.

I honestly have to say my absolute favorite one was the Kendall/James one. Like..I know what you're thinking you're like, "Rachel, I thought you were a major Jagan supporter, so I thought your fave wouldve been the Jagan one!"

Yeessshhh, I did quite enjoy that one too, buuutttt..idk. there was just something about the Kames one that I really loved. Like how Kendall was all "James, you look FINE!" Lol.

Anyway, sorry but I gotta wrap this review up. Eddie's taking me somewhere. And I have no idea where.

That sounds bad. Lol. Hope I dont get date raped! Baha great one shot! Really angstyyy and I loved ittt(:
thisprofileisnolongerinuse chapter 1 . 8/20/2011
.AMAZING. I LOVED IT!

Okay, I have to admit, my favorite ones were Kendall and Carlos, and Kendall and James.

I LOVE seeing Kendall crying in stories! Because most people don't do that, and it makes me sad because I love to see the leader break down every once in a while! I could just imagine him crying...HOT! Yea, I know, I'm a terrible person :)

"It's okay to miss him, buddy"

When I read that I CRIED! That was so sweet of Carlos to do, and I still can't get the image of Kendall crying out of my head.

...

SO FREAKING CUTE! My love meter just went up for both of them.

I must've read that one about 5 times. I loved it.

OMG! I also ADORED the James and Kendall one.

"You know you look fine, right?"

"Yeah."

"You know you look good, right?"

"I guess..."

"You know you look perfect, right? Just as perfect as you want?"

"..."

Aaaaaaaawwwwwwwwwww! Now I don't know which one I love more, because that part was just TOO perfect! I loved it, I loved Kendall calling James Jay Jay, I love how Katie made Kendall watch 'Never Say Never', and I love Carlos singing 'Baby' in his sleep.

LOL! 'I mean this in the non-gayest way posible'

That was THE line! I just loved reading that.

Gah, I have to go. But, awesome job! This was too great!
bluestring chapter 1 . 8/20/2011

Everything, every word, sentence ,paragraph, idea was perfectly established, understood and written.

Yup, that's how beautiful it is.

I'll be waiting for the next shots :D

TheLovelyRusher chapter 1 . 8/19/2011

Visiwsk and I are hunting down scott fellows anyway. Teehee jk but really. I loved this! Heehee carlos is a little whirlwind. I love how kendall wants his daddy! Gosh, like heartbreak right now!
Sam in Wonderland chapter 1 . 8/19/2011
Life sucks.

Kendall was pretty sure that was all there really was to it. The world seemed to find amusement in breaking him down, tearing him apart, and kicking him to the curb. And not only him, but also everyone he had on his list to look out for. Hard as he try, he couldn't protect his best friends from the cruel pranks fate had in store. Life wasn't tangible. Kendall couldn't check life into the boards and crack a couple of its ribs. Life wasn't someone Kendall could charm into obeying him or threaten into leaving them alone. Life wasn't something he could see coming in time to warn the guys to get out of the way. Life was life.

And it sucked.

That was really a great way to describe life. It was perfect. Because life is unpredictable and sucky.

His face dampened with salty tears, and suddenly, a little whirlwind burst through his door, slowing when it noticed him moping on his bed. Carlos Garcia lifted up his pillow and peeked at his puffy eyes. He frowned. "I guess you're gonna say no if I ask you to go to the pool..." he said, sounding disappointed. Kendall didn't respond, but watched Carlos leap up onto the top bunk with him, and couldn't help but smile a bit as the shorter boy rubbed circles on his back. "It's okay to miss him, buddy," he said, brushing his bangs out of his face with his spare hand. Kendall turned away, not wanting to seem weak, but letting the Latino sit with him.

Aww!

"Well," he said with a glint in his eye, "you won't know that for sure until there's actually only nothing left to try." Carlos squinted up at him, annoyed, but Logan ruffled his hair. "Plus, you're smart, Litos. You're close. We'll get this. I have a couple more go's in me as long as you do too."

Aww!

Panic. That's what it was. Paralyzing panic berating him with all it had, what felt like all the time, allowing him quiet spells only to build up it's strength. A panic that plagued him through dreams and daylight, making sure it's presence was known. A panic that kept him bursting at the seems his whole entire life. It kept him second guessing, quieting down, and quite literally shaking in his boots. Logan tried to quell the fear rushing through his veins like electricity through a wire, but unlike a machine, he didn't have an off switch. Logan squinted when a light flipped on, and a tall figure walked through the door.

I just loved this part.

"Shhhhh," James calmed him, his fingers stroking his hair, "We're okay, we're okay. We're all okay."

'We're' he had said.

'We're' because there was no way in hell James would let Logan go through a single day of this alone.

Aww!

I loved the whole James part. Especially the part about Justin Bieber. That was hilarious!

Actually, I really loved this whole story. I can really relate to it.
Miss Fenway chapter 1 . 8/19/2011
Okay, so you're a really amazing person and did not deserve that self-pitying, depressed review I left for your last one-shot. This is exactly what I've been needing. Because, see, there are a lot of people who drag me down, but they're not worth it. The people who lift me up are worth it. Which is why I'm actually writing "Thirteen Reasons Why" to try and point that out to other people. Because I know I'm not alone with the things I go through even though I wish I was. No one deserves to go through it so o wish I was the only one. Anyway. I'm going to try and actually review this one.

So I could, in a way, relate with all of the boys here. I have both of my parents, thank goodness. But I have been, left behind, as I like to refer to it as, by other people. People I thought were my friends. And, it just really hurts, you know? People you thought you could depend on are suddenly gone. And they chose to leave. That's the worst part. And you don't want anyone to see how much it hurts you, but there are people who care. Like Carlos. Sweet, baby Carlos. My nickname for him has always been Bunny. Because he looks like a bunny, doesn't he? And he just has the most sincere heart ever and this way of breaking things down to their most simplest form where Logan overanalyzes (which tends to be his downfall), Carlos just sees things how they are. I loved how all he said was "It's okay to miss him" because that was absolutely all Kendall needed to hear. He didn't need explanations and reasons. He just needed to be told that it was okay to miss his dad. That's all. I loved this part so much.

Carlos' part. Well. I can't relate to it with school as much as I can with life. Because I like to think that I'm a good student, maybe even really good. I'm not smart, but I work really hard. I've failed before but in the end I can more than make up for it. But life is another story. I try so hard to deal with certain things in my life and whatever I do is just never enough. I feel like I'm constantly letting people down with all of my failures. Just wasting their time, you know? Because they give me so much of their time and advice and I just go right on ahead and screw up over and over again. Bit they're always there no matter what to encourage me. That's all people need sometimes. Constant encouragement no matter what. People not giving up on you even though you want to give up on you. So yeah, I loved this too.

Logan's part. Well. OBVIOUSLY I could relate to his more than anyone else. You absolutely nailed anxiety/panic attacks here. The fact that the worry is always, ALWAYS there. Sometimes it's easy to push away for a few days, but it never really leaves. And then other days it just robs me of fully functioning, you know? I don't mean I wind up curled up in bed on these days. I won't let that happen. But it's like I can't concentrate on anything but the bad stuff in my life. Things that make me laugh, don't even make me smile on these days. Things I enjoy just add even more distress. Eventually it gets so bad that I want it to just. . . stop. End. All of it. BUT. Then I'm reminded of what keeps me going. The fact that God has blessed me with people in my life who love and care about me. Even though I don't understand why. All I need to know is that I'm not alone. All I need to know is that "we're okay". And I loved this for reminding me of that.

So James' part. My self image is an on again/off again issue. Compared to the others, it's non existent. Now anyway. A few years ago I was really stupid and messing with anorexia and bulimia. Not to the point where it messed me up at all, but yeah. I was stupid like that. Anyway, like Carlos' part, I guess I'm looking at this part in a different view. Like with life as a whole rather than appearances. Because I constantly struggle with not being good enough. Not being enough for people. And it's so emotionally exhausting. But, like all the other examples, there are people who make me believe something different. That maybe I'm wrong about not being enough. I don't know. Even though I could relate best to Logan here, this is the one I struggle with the most. Being enough. Then that usually leads to some sort of attack. Then again, the attacks are getting rarer. Because I've eliminated certain distractions in my life and have started actually praying my way through them. And it works really well and I haven't let an attack get out of hand for about two weeks now. But since the "not enough" feelings lead to the attacks in the first place, I need to figure something out with that.

Okay. Well, I absolutely LOVED this to pieces. Because like I said, it was exactly what I needed. To be reminded that I'm not alone abs that makes everyone okay. So thank you, from the bottom of my heart.
Sastiel chapter 1 . 8/19/2011
Oh you. Where do I start? Okay Carlos and Kendall, SO CUTE! I mean, poor baby Kenny! He's just so SAD! And the fact that Carlos just KNOWS what's wrong is like perfection. I LOVE how they ALL know. Then Logan helping sweet poor innocent "Litos" Oh, YES! I mean I wish I had Logan around to help me cause I fail about 90% of the time on like anything. Sad day.

Anyway! Then my FAVORITE! James and Logan! Oh lord! Okay lemme just tell you something, kay? I LOVE panicky Logan! It's the best. I'm not even kidding. And James just like, knowing. I'm sorry, I know I said that but I friggen' LOVE it! I want it in ALL stories!

And you KNOW I LOVE James and Logan so...Yeah. Uggh!

The last one. There are just- I don't even have words to express my love for it. I mean let's be honest, they're the leaders without them Carlos and Logan would be like...DEAD. O_O

So the fact that you wrote the two leaders helping each other is like...Golden. I kinda wanna cry.

Oh! On another note; thanks for the prayer! I should really start doing that, I usually only pray for like actors and crap. I'm weird I know, leave me alone.
