Restraint is Useless Here - Comments, page 2

Okay, two months late and a filler chapter and I’m not even mad. I was so excited to see an update. And I have to tell you, I CACKLED two separate times though this chapter. The image of Matt in a gym with the aviators still on was the first, and Brian’s comment about Matt’s chicken leg was the second. I loved it. And honestly, take your time with this story. You’re crafting a masterpiece that I’m quite invested in, so I’d much rather you take your time to get it right than pump out updates for the sake of updating. With that being said, as per usual, I can’t wait for the next chapter. I’m so excited for the moment Brian and Anna accept their connection to each other!!

I can’t wait for them to realise they have a connec

Brian and Anna... They have this chemistry, this connection... It’s going to explode into awesomeness!

Haha DON'T TEASE ME!!

Just write! If you wind up not liking it, scrap it! Writing can get tough: sometimes you need a break, sometimes you need to force yourself to write through it, sometimes you think you're really inspired and then later you think it sucks.....but you will get there I know it!!! Everyone writes at their own pace and there's nothing wrong with that!
The newest pic of Syn on Insta has me very inspired right now to write Brian, despite the fact I'm totally a Zacky girl (you'd never guess with my list of stories, but Brian just writes himself a little easier??? Not to mention, for me, he's hot with both Zack and Matt, where as Zacky slash is purely only Synacky).

@violetshade
OR IS IT TOTALLY PLATONIC?

I’m kidding, of course! I wouldn’t even begin to know how to write a believable slash :)

Thank you so much for sticking with the story and for your perpetually lovely comments. It’s hard to keep going sometimes when the story is so wonderful in your head but you don’t want to completely mess it up in translation.

Dude. The Bratt game is strong with this one (obviously the totally platonic, bro version). Loved it , as usual!
The line about his hands creating and destroying...I am like bowing down to that line. Simple, but very well written/placed/ etc.
Mooooore pleeeeaase!!!! Can't wait!

I LOVE long chapters! I think you detailed everything PERFECTLY. You weren’t long winded at all. That UST is a a bubblin’! I think Bri has found someone he will want to settle down with... *giant hearty eyes* He is so sweet with Anna, and he instinctively knows exactly what she needs. It’s the start of a beautiful relationship <3

@AvengedRomance
Sweet that you would ask!! Take your time. I ALWAYS have a hard time doing this and sometimes wind up with something (ok, often) quick and hot--which is fine sometimes, but often isn't long enough (that's what she said, tehe). The ones I've taken more time with tend to be my favs (like, written some and come to and edited or added, etc). You could always send me stuff if you want, too!

@violetshade
I read a LOT of books by a lot of amazing authors who do the chemistry thing so well and just... try to live up to it, I guess! Any smut writing tips, btw? DREADING the inevitable bang and being unable to do it justice.

@fyction
Thank you so much, you sweet human!

I’m obsessed with this story. You are a beautiful writer. This last chapter was perfection.

I certainly don't mind the long chapter, but if shorter chapters meant you'd update more often, I'd be okay with that, too!!
Their moments, man. I don't know how the fuck you do it, but...I still can't stop thinking about that one at the bar. ELECTRIC. And this one, also awesome.

@violetshade
I KNOW. I would watch the LBC videos and only listen with my right earbuds to try and isolate his vocals because they make me feel some kinda way. He and Zack sound absolutely incredible as backing, but Brian’s technique and tenor have always just stolen my heart. I could wax poetic about that dude’s voice until I diiiiieeee and I just might.

I am so relieved Jack is coming across the way I intend him. Dude has some narcissistic tendencies and everything is about him, though he is definitely capable of loving Anna (and does/did!) He just has a fucked up idea of love.

And @rockstarsNredpants: bless Johnny for trying hahaha. I definitely appreciate his effort on the “restraints are useless here” line in Unholy Confessions—I’m a bit partial to Jimmy’s live screams on that. Damnit, Jimmy. We miss yooouuu.

WOW. I had chills reading this chapter, I'm not even going to lie to you. There's something about how you portray Jack that makes my skin crawl in the most complimentary way hahaha. It honestly freaked me out reading about his wishes for Anna to have just stayed complacent and give him the perfect family. I can't believe that he would assume that after how terrible he treated her over the years would end in her staying by his side and giving him the life he dreamed of. I am nervous about Anna's future going forward, since Brian mercifully let Jack live, but I am along for the ride with popcorn in hand!

Also: starting a petition for Avenged to release a song with Brian on vocals, since we now have Runaway featuring Zack, and Johnny's attempts to sing Seize the Day live prove he should stick to bass. I couldn't believe how wonderful that song was.

*shudder* Jack wigs me the fuck out! I knew he wouldn’t give up on Anna that easily. Fucker.

And that song? Holy. Fucking. Shitballs. We’re gonna need some towels over here! Possibly a mop and bucket...

That definitely added more depth! Oh, man, you are so good at making us hate this asshole more than anything! That last line, chilling! I do hope you update again soon, can't wait for Brian/Anna action!!!!
And YES we can talk forever about that freaking song, good god. His voice is so gorgeous. I mean, we knew this, but not at the level we know it now! Man, these guys are dangerous!

@rockstarsNredpants
Girl, please. I am just grateful you leave comments at all. <3

I AM THE WORST SINCE I'VE BEEN MIA FOR SO LONG....
But I am all caught up now and holy damn, this story is getting SO GOOD.

I am so happy that Anna had the courage to get rid of Jack, and to hit on Brian, even though both of those attempts failed miserably. I absolutely hate that Anna had to get physically hurt again, but Brian coming to the rescue made me so happy. I'm so glad he managed to piece everything together and figure out that she wasn't going to be safe leaving that bar. I am eager to see how you start to build Anna back up and how her relationship with Brian will unfold.

@overneaththepathofmisery
Yassss, the fun stuff can begin! <3
Thanks so much for your continuously awesome comments. They mean so much!

YES, BRIAN! YESSSSS! That uh, sounded a little dirtier than intended... *shame face* I was just so excited Brian could finally sort that fuckfaced cock smoker out! Teach him to EVER lay a hand on a woman! Fuckhole! Karma has teeth, asshole... Yay! Now, onto Anna and Brian... :D I have a sinking feeling Jack’s not just going to walk away from this...

@AGirlIKnowNamedLarisa

YAY! I was so excited to write it but worried it wouldn’t come out how I’d envisioned it. Now that Jack is laid up, I am SO looking forward to focusing on Brian/Anna!
