Yes, I've committed fic *gasp* I figured it's all well and good to complain of boredom when you're not doing anything yourself to make things even a little bit less boring. So I'm trying fic again.
Not quite sure where this one came from - it's nothing like the fics I've been thinking of writing over the past few weeks. It's all quite spur of the moment, so I'm not 100% on it's quality :s bah I need to write some proper slash some time rather than just implied stuff. Anyway, I hope somebody likes it - most people probably won't, but as long as one or two people who's opinions I respect do, I'll be happy

Even though I'm not much of a fic reader, I read it because well lets face it anything is more entertaining than histology books and it wasn't a long fic nor a to be continued fic. I don't think my opinion counts much because as I said before I don't do fics but I enjoyed reading this one, it was very well written. I could picture the scene and sense Lucas' angst. I loved the opening sentence as well ^^ So yay well done!

It's been a while since I stepped into the fanfiction forum (I'll start to write Exiles again soon, I promise), so this was a pleasent surprise.

Either way, this was very entertaining. A good look into Lucas' mind as he struggles to make sense of his feelings. And let's face it, his mind must be pretty screwed up by now. Loved the angst, as you'd expect. And you're writing style is very much suited to these introspective fics, just as much as comedy ones I'd say, maybe more. And you're so much more subtle than me!XD Great work. Want more.

One nice touch was that he considered that Josie might actually be the bad guy, but I am surprised that the Janitor didn't rate a mention as the badguy. Or himself. I mean, he's a self-doubting guy with confidence issues. "Maybe I'm the badguy?" And all that.

I like it lots! I think you captured a lot of the things I have always wondered about Lucas (such as "why the weird obsession with Vaughn?) perfectly. It could be seen as a slashy thing, or as being slightly obsessed with someone who is everything you're not but wish you were. Lucas became a bit one-dimensional for a while in season three (Vaughn and Victor bad, Science Club good, me like Josie), and I think what you've written here fills in some of those "character gaps" (if there is such a thing).

Jesi: of course your opinion counts - it always counts I'm really glad you liked it - it's pretty high praise if you aren't usually interested in fics but still liked it ^^

Gouki: Thanks I'm a bit of a closet angst addict, and I love making Lucas angst out... he's so suited to it. Borderline emo Or just plain borderline.
I didn't consider bringing the Janitor into it... I thought it was probably best to stick to Lucas's usual suspects. I didn't consider Lucas himself either - I'm not sure whether to agree because he does seem riddled with self doubt and confusion, but then again he has that ritcheous anger sort of thing (where he can see the faults of others but has a bit of difficulty spotting his own, which is why his behaviour slips out of hand now and then - he seems to think he's justified in it at the time)

88keys: wow - I didn't expect you to read this, I know you don't like slash much. So thanks for reading it, I'm glad you enjoyed it Lucas's Vaughn/Josie obsession is something that's always quite interested me - on TV you can't usually hear a character's thoughts so none of us really know what went on in his head - I like it when it's more complicated than just 'I love Josie and hate Vaughn cue angsty J/L that may or may not end fluffily'

Well, I'm happy - not one, not two but three people who's opinions I respect have enjoyed my fic. I feel my work here is done. *dusts off hands*

Well, I wouldn't really consider that story slash. Not explicit, at least. And like I said, Lucas's Vaughn obession could have several explainations. You covered that all nicely in your fic.

Excellent, as always. I don't really like to over-congratulate, but I've found myself to be a sucker for your ficlets (not the bigger fics though, since I lack the time/atention span). Can't really say more than what's been said already, other than keep up the good work!
