...-Dumbstruck.-

Oh.my.god. O___O This is so..great...I can't even express how good this is in words. Poor Boyd, poor Hsin! -Waves arms.- I can't tell you the last time a fiction has affected me so much. The happy moments make me happy and the sad moments make my heart ache @_@!! It's so very wonderful and the characters are so...-Struggles to find words to describe.- UNF! Wow...I'm not coming over as at all intelligent in this comment but...I just can't get over how good this is. I'm so avidly awaiting more of this story. I'm also tempted to draw the guys but I feel I would never be able to do them justice!

God this is so amazing. *_*

The last four chapters were angsty, but tastefully so. You did a good job. :)

Can't wait for the next one, especially with that cliffy. *evil glare*

Just finished chapter 19. I think it's the best so far. Hsin's rambling thoughts and actions made sense. And his evil veneer is beginning to crack.

I thought chapters 17 and 18 were a bit overdone. I kinda got tired of reading the same thing over-and-over, just expressed in different words.

I'm still loving the story, still anxiously awaiting updates, but if you hope to publish, you might consider being a bit more concise. Of course, James Mitchner made millions with his long drawn-out descriptions... I just didn't like 'em.

they seriously need an intervention, or some kind of 24 hour interpreter to make sure they are understanding each other correctly. and it's depressing that what's being misconstrued isn't anything that could be smoothed over in a subsequent conversation, but harrowing, intimate issues that would take so much to tell, let alone factor in to how they've caused an abundance of trouble with current problems. what's left unsaid seems to keep building on itself.

it seems now like sin has met his match in regard to self-conflict.. it was tense enough with only sin feeling overwhelmed and attracted to his partner, but now that boyd has acknowledged the same, i can see this spiraling out of hand fast. i just hope sin can get his mind cleared enough that he can maybe reflect on boyd's reactions lately, and hopefully speculate on his reasons rather than instinctually feeling rejected. i'm not sure what to think of how boyd will act now, or what he'll feel inclined to do now that he wishes to have sin's attention and affection. i am dying to find out. ;)

the jealousy over ryan continues to make me laugh, because it is so ridiculous, actually imagining it and then to know boyd could believe it. it's kind of crappy, only because ryan seems so decent and boyd is on friendly terms with him, but the potential for awkwardness at future table meetings and the whole idea just makes it so amusing.

i am glad thierry was not a bad person; to deal with confusion over sin, and guilt and uncertainty on top of the fact that the one night stand was unpleasant i think would have been too horrible. i was expecting thierry to be worse, but i'm glad he was so... well, almost normal under the circumstances. he seems like he would be a pleasant friend in some ways, and it's almost difficult to reconcile his outward personality knowing who he is and the kind of people he's involved with.

those pictures are just stunning, the model who looks like sin struck me particularly. it makes it more fun to read when you can clearly see the characters in your head. :)

i'll review again if i can think of anything else.. this chapter was so engrossing and it is fascinating to get to know the intimate thoughts and feelings behind these two men- if only they could work on their verbal skills a little and learn how to talk to one another! but i have faith in them... i think, i hope. :P

Absolutely awesome chapter. Boyd's reactions, Sin's reactions - even Thierry's.

(One tiny little complaint... As long as people are in a building, they fall to the floor, not to the ground. Boyd's head hit the floor when he was in Thierry's home and in the hotel room.)

I love this story, my heart beats quicker with every word of each chapter. I find myself unconsciously smiling, feeling emotions, long since dead. I already have a huge addiction that consumes my soul, to yaoi fiction and mangas and now I find myself with a new one. I love this story, I'll love it from the beginning to the end, I love it through the angst to the sexual tension. However, I'm a person that loves smut and gets frustrated when there's no smut or lemonly goodness in my yaoi fiction or mangas. I find myself, wishing Sin and Boyd would get together and wishing that there can be happily ever afters in life but I'm hoping that sine its fiction, there's still hope for the characters and that the next chapter will fulfill my expectations of a future love, lasting romance between my favorite characters. Write it and I shall love it, it alls I know of you.

Damn, that was unexpected to say the least. I really didn't think Boyd was going to end up sleeping wth Thierry, but after gaining a little more insight on his views about the whole issue, it actually isn't so suprising. I'm glad Thierry was made out to be a bit more decent and someone you could tolerate, rather then hate, because that would have made the whole sex scene just plain sickening. It ended up just seeming very sad, although I'm quite sure that was the point.

Wow, I'm still finding it hard to properly comment on this chapter, I'm not entirely sure what I want to say. It was all quite depressing. (Don't get me wrong, the chapter was still great, and I enjoyed reading it.) I'm just feeling all gloomy now. I knew there was going to be a lot of emotion being shown soon and I even mentioned in my previous review that I figured someone was going to crack eventually...but this wasn't a 'bang', this was like 'BOOM!' Yikes, I'm just very glad Sin stopped before he raped Boyd, that would have been horrid. At least now they still have a chance to slowly pick up the pieces of their 'broken' relationship and hopefully put it back together.

Oye, I really do feel bad for Boyd right now; trying to feel nothing towards Thierry during their little 'encounter', but inevitably feeling guilty about it anyway. (Let's just hope he never has to see Thierry again.) Or if he does...by that point, he's in an at least somewhat healthy relationship with Sin. So he could refuse Thierry because he wouldn't want to cheat on Sin. >8D (Why do I get the feeling Thierry wouldn't really care or just suggest a threesome?

Ahh, it's too hard to stay upset for long, this story is way too entertaining. Things seem bad now, but it can only get better. Right? RIGHT?!

Ryan! GAH! If there's one thing I can't wait to see sorted out, it's Boyd's assumptions about Ryan and Sin. *cringes* Silly Boyd, since when is he one to just assume things rather then finding out the facts? >X(

As for Sin himself, although he acted like a jerk at certain times, can't help but feel a tad bad for him too. A person's anger almost always stems from being hurt and it must have really stung to know Boyd was having sex with Thierry. So much so, that Sin cried about it didn't he? Alright, it was never actually said that he did...but certain physical descriptions suggested it...*smirks* Awww, that's really cute! *return of the goofy fangirl cackling*

Well now, after all this, Carhart better be happy! I really hope this wasn't all for nothing. (Emotional turmoil doesn't quite count. ;3 ) And this time, I'm not even going to bother making a prediction. I always seem to be wrong, so I'm just going to shut up and see what happens next chapter. *covers mouth and tries-but-of-course-fails to wait patiently for the next update*

Oh yeah and one more thing! Thanks for posting the links to the pics you guys found; they both looked quite close to how I had pictured them aswell. Very nice. ;)

*covers mouth again and holds up a sign which says:

'Until next time...'*

Don't even think about apologizing for the wait, take your time school should come first. As for the chapter it was wonderful, I love how you have them both avoidung each other, It makes for more drama later. Also I would love to see your pictures of them, keep up the great work/

I'd really begun to worry when there was no update for so long.

Delighted to see the story continues.

Somehow, I had not expected Hsin to be jealous first... though he has much more cause.

Very nice description of Boyd's thought process after his birthday present. Grateful and yet so overwhelmed.
