This is great! I've only ever read one Bikey before, and I actually just stumbled upon that one, but I figured I'd read this because you're such a great author. Anyway, I really liked how this started. It was really original and it was a very interesting way to introduce what Mikey felt about himself and Bob. Of course it doesn't give too much information, but it gave just the right amount. I also really liked that it was because of a storm. I'm always a huge fan of people being scared of storms. I don't know what it is about being scared of storms, but it just really works well with Mikey. I liked that it wasn't that Mikey was scared and Bob heard him whimpering or something and he comes to comfort him. Not that I'd know, but Bob seems like the one that is always so fearful and strong and all that other stuff, so I thought it was really interesting that he was afraid of storms as well. I've read oter fanfiction stories with Bob, never Bikey though, and he was never afraid or embarrassed in them, but in this he was afraid of storms and he blushed and I really liked this because it just seems more...real. He has to get embarrassed sometimes. Anyway, I also liked the ending and how the title tied into it. It was really clever and it just was beautiful. Well, I really liked this. It was extremely well written, original, and it was just really terrific. I really liked this. Great job!!
Author's response
Thank you so very much; I'm really, really pleased that you thought this went alright!
I really love Bikey stories, I think that it's a seriously underused and underrated pairing, so I thought that it'd be fun to try and write my own little one-shot.
It's really touching to know that the fact that I wrote this made you want to read it; that is quite possibly the most uplifting thing I've heard in a very long time. It honestly does mean so much to me to know what people think about my writing so to hear something like that really is amazing. So, for lack of a better word, thanks!
I'm relieved that you liked the start, that's the part that I was nervous about the most because it is kind of different to how I normally start my writing.
I love sorm-based stories too! I don't really know why, but I think that it has something to do with Tails (fox-kid from Sonic the Hedgehog) having some really cute comic book storylines revolving around his fear of them. If that makes any sort of irrelevant sense.
I was kinda worried that I wrote Bob really badly (I've never written a story with him in before in which he's had more than a background role) so I'm really glad that you thought it seemed real.
THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH for taking the time to leave such a lovely and detailed review; I really can't describe how much it means to me! :)
