i really liked this story. i loved the chemistry between benji and dagen. dagen is really cute in his possessiveness to me. i loved the way he teased benji on stage and again in front of the fansinat the club. it was really hot. and i loved the way the story ends. i am so glad i requested Anne O'Gleadra to send me a copy of the story via email. i read it twice already. what i would love is a story that brings luce and doug together. luce talks alot and seems to amuse doug and doug is mute so it seems kinda perfect. this story is really well written.

I loved this story. I really do. I picked it up on a whim because of the strange title, I fell in love with the characters instantly and the flowing writing where everything was clear and unpredictable but comforting and acceptable. Loved it loved it loved it. Thanks for writing it :} You made a fan out of me.

I heard this song on the radio the other week and it immediately brought to mind this story and how Dagen probably felt about lillian lol i could so him telling benji he has a new song and springing this puppy on him. The song is called "Bitch came back" by Theory of a Dead Man. lol god it totally goes with this story.

Omgosh. This story is so adorable, sweet and awww :0 Benji-Benjamin-Ben's character was so mature/rational for a youngster of 17-19. Although, I guess that is only to be expected having 2 psychiatrists as parents. So well reared ... which is why his insecurities with Dagen, burst of anger at Dagen and neediness for Dagen were so satisfying. Awww, can't help it.

Dagen is obviously a favorite as well. I love "possessive bastard(s)" like him. Cocky as hell to everyone but scared as a rabbit when it comes to the ones they love. It's cuter that Dagen recognizes this as well. If only he did what Benji suggested when he realized his feelings (probably when they they were kids), then none of the little angst would've happened. Although as a reader, I enjoyed a little suffering that took place. I love justified anger and necessary groveling from main characters.

How typical of kids like Dagen to bully and terrorize the one they like, wanting to keep Benji all to himself and doesn't allow him to associate much with others and others with Benji. I know it's perverse but I love it more when the ones being bullied and terrorized allowed guys like Dagen do that to them. A kid's way of showing love ;) It was so funny when Dagen teases Benji, especially when they are on stage, so cute and Benji's fignting spirit, even though it was a lost cause.

Dear Author,

Not sure if you noticed but I "love" this piece of your work. This story was so well written. It made it easier for me to fall into scenes and the plot. The story line was interesting, consistent, the characters's actions and emotions were reasonable and convincingly, and the relationship's progression was nicely crafted and the side characters are fun. So yes, I really enjoyed this story. It was engaging and entertaining. Thank you for writing.

Looking forward to your future and other works,
renee

This line: "Maybe if you're lucky you'll get a very hot chick who wants your autograph in urine." is one of the most hilarious lines I've ever read! Thanks for that!

I saw this story rec'd on The Slash Pile and had to read it (I've read Pivotal by Kat/toobusy2write and loved the band story, so I had to read yours). I loved it, loved it, loved it! Amazing story, and well-written. Thank you!

Hey, I just ran across "A Stage and a Bus" recced on the Whispered Words slash rec site and thought it was totally awesome. You really made me feel for Benji, and he's such a sweetie. I like the relationship you showed with Lillian- it makes sense that if he was that close to her to start with, she probably isn't a totally worthless human being, and way too many stories vilify the past-relationship-ee. If that's a word. I love Benji's parents and for some reason I really like Abby, and I liked the environmentally conscious, fairly ascetic picture you painted of Benji- you did an awesome job of characterizing him without SAYING "Benji cares about the environment and is really a wonderful person for reasons x, y, and z." So thank you for the story! I'm off to read your other stuff now.
