so somehow i managed to miss that you updated
but it was a very nice surprise when i went back to reread the awesome theo/merrick chapter that there was an extra one! yay!
poor theo though, aaaall alone in a dark room with merrick. hee hee
i am so looking forward to the next chapter, just oh my god

I just found this story and am loving it so much.

And it's set in Canada! I nearly died when I saw the provincial exams, and was all OMG CANADIAN \o/ You just don't see our country that often in fic;) lol, that is awesome.

I love your characterizations, they are so real, and your writing is phenomenal.

Although the plot developement is a little slow, I sitll like this story. I especially like Theo, who reminds me of a large puppy. He's so sweet. He'll help Merrick whether Merrick likes it or not, and there's no way in the end that he'll be able to resist Theo. I'm gald that Merrick learned just how nasty Brent was, so that he'll stop mooning over a complete asshole and start to heal. Thanks for writing this story. -DL

I still get so excited every time I see you have posted a new chapter! It is kinda like when you are in a new relationship, and just seeing an incoming call from your boo on your cell phone, makes you smile and get happy. Yeah that's how I feel about updates from you. And it is funny because I have been reading your stories since the 1st chapter of The Stage and The Bus. After over 2 years ago. One would think that after over 100 updates the thrill would be gone but since I love everything you write it is impossible for me not to get happy when you update.

Now to the review:
These set up chapters are needed in every story and although it didn't further the relationship directly it gave a lot of insight to why both Merrick and Theo react the way they do, so the character development was good, and the story continued to move forward. Good Job, I can't wait for the next chapter, if you are excited about writing it then I'm ecstatic to read it.

My birthday is Tuesday so I consider this update like an early birthday present! THANK YOU :-)

Ooh, lovely.

I'm not too hot on the violence in this story, but I'm counting on it building toward good stuff. I like the fact that this isn't too rushed and that the characters are remaining, well, in character.

Can't wait for the next chapter.

P.S. For all I care, Brent can go fuck himself and Merrick needs to finally open his eyes about the fucker :P

Theo is reacting exactly as I was expecting, someone so truthful and honest couldn't deny the obvious. Merrick has turned out to be the true naive character of your story, I like this twist. He is so sarcastic and cynical and yet he believes in fairy tales, the pimp falling for the whore. Instead, Theo looks life in the eyes and sees what it is there and yet... he smiles? All right, the guy has to be mental.

What Theo says is exactly what I tell my Gran (an adorable religious nut). Whatever god may be has better and greater things to do than scrutinize my life: look at Afghanistan, heck, even Iceland is a mess nowadays. Sorry, I had to share *wink*.

I agree violence is gross. I think of everything that happened to Merrick this ch the one that got me the worst was the broken nose. I can stand broken ribs and even fingers but broken noses....I hope Merrick will start to see Brent for the abusive pedophyllic slime ball he is.

You did such a good job with that "violent" chapter. It was perfect. Please keep writing, I live for your stories!!!

can't merrick see? i hope he doesn't answer any more calls from brent.
ASOTA

I hated reading this chapter
but I mean it as a compliment, because I like Merrick so much, and it was really painful seeing him go through that. Not even the physical violence part, but the realization that Brent isn't who he thought he was.
On the bright side, I now feel justified in WANTING BRENT TO DIE. Well ok, maybe not die. But something horrible and painful. That hopefuly involves serious trauma to his dick.
