(27) 'Stop crying'- easier said than done, if all of a sudden I'd found myself face-to-face with my rapist I would want to cry too. And while I still think Keeran has the worst mood swings ever, angry and demanding one minute and the next wanting to take Devin swimming and trying to be understanding, you can see (if slowly) he's changing. I was worried that Keeran liked the control he had over Devin too much to change, but while there are times that Keeran reverts to old ways you can see some progress. I'm trying to focus on the positives because the obvious is that things will work themselves out into some sort of satisfactory result and Devin will have to stay with Keeran. I don't know how you're going to do it but since that's the direction you seem to be going I look forward to watching how you sort this all out :) Another great update, I loved Joey and Devin working quietly and easily together, and I'm looking forward to the next update ^_^

I'm here!!! I swear I didn't abandon your fic! Dx sorry I haven't reviewed, I've just been so busy too so I know how life can be. I'm SOOO glad you've been able to update this story!!! I LOVE this story so much; you give the characters so much life that I find myself drawing their emotions into myself lol Which, with poor Devin always super anxious and sad, I find myself feeling those emotions as well once I come to the chapter's end XD Can't wait for the next update!!!!!

I haven't written a review yet. I had just found your story a couple of weeks ago and read straight through without being able step away from the computer. You have me hooked. You've got a great story, great characters and excellent plot development. After reading your comments at the beginning of Chapter 27, I felt I had to comment. I truly hope people aren't complaining about the speed of the story. Because I think it's perfect. If you sped up the plot development, it wouldn't be believable. Devin has had years of abuse and he's not likely to get over that and start trusting in just a few months, especially when Keeran has such an aggressive alpha male personality. It's gonna take Devin a while to realize that this is just Keeran's personality and that Devin can trust him.

Also, please remember that you own this story and not your readers. I'm sure they appreciate your considering their suggestions, but you're writing this story (and it's perfect the way it is) and it wouldn't be the same story if you let your readers write it. Now, if you wanted to, say, speed up the story by producing may a chapter a day :D, I'm sure your readers wouldn't complain then. I know I wouldn't.

Anyway, that's just my opinion. All I hope is that you keep up the good work and that you don't abandon the story.

This is getting interesting...

I love this chapter T______T
^3^ please more ^______^

Thank you for the update !
Devin took a big step ! He asked something to Snake !!
And maybe he's begining to trust Keeran...
Until the next chapter ^^

Best part of my day is getting a new chapter, I only wish they could be longer! I still wish I could read a scene with the therapist and it got me thinking what that would be like. Maybe asking about D's past is too much for him to handle right now, so then I thought the doctor should ask about what he does around K's home. Well nothing right; so then I thought he should ask what he'd like to do, which got me thinking about this other book I read. A girl was seeing a therapist who gave her the task of growing herbs in the middle of February to show her that it may be slow but not impossible - unexpected things could happen in life. And I thought the doctor should do something like that for D! Give him a hobby - have him take care of something, look forward to something, and think about what he wants for his future, not just his past. You said something about that in this chapter - that he always knew he would die a horrible and untimely death, maybe something like this could shake him from that thinking now that he's getting comfortable in his surroundings and it doesn't look that K is going to let him go OR hurt him (purposely that it). As always I await another great chapter and hope the week passes quickly!

Thanksss thanksss thankss xoxoxoxoxo

emm, I really love it that you spend so much time on their relationship, I mean that's one one the main points of this story that makes it sooo unique! and it is unique :D I have never ever read something similar and I do read a lot! :P not even Pain and pain was like Forgotten even though you wrote it as well! :P and it was one of my favorites too! but Forgotten is just something else! and I wish you never finish it! Just imagine the joy you bring whenever you update! It's just I check AFF 10 times a day to see if you have uploaded! :P crazy isn't it?! but it's just what it's like when you are addicted! and I am addicted to this story!

I was reading the whole story last night again :D and I figured something else! I know that Keeran called Devin by his name for the first time in chapter 12 but I was wondering when it was the first for Joey?! and yess it was chapter 12 for him too! :P coincident? or did you follow a pattern?!

Anyway, this chapter was very delicious too! lol I love it that Devin didn't dread his encounters with Keeran as much as before and the fact that he was more afraid of military ^_^ and how he clinged to Keeran for protection ... It was just sooo sweat! The way you changed all these emotions step by step ... I really enjoy reading this story even after a thousand time. Last night, between chapter 5-14, I just wanted to be there for Devin and hug him and protect him from all harms! From Keeran, from his men, even snake in chapters 5-7 (I think). They were sooo cruel to this little scared, innocent boy :( my heart was clutched but I couldn't do anything! :P ... I mean you have this power to draw out so many emotions from your readers and it is sooo unique ^_^

WOW, I babble a lot again and I have to go to my work >.< thanks again for the update and please do not forget about Forever Ignored ;) I can't wait the next chapter ...

I will bug you again ;)

as always its wonderful to see a chapter about my poor darling rasberry. i just hope that he finds his trials worth sufering in the end. i enjoy that you dont hint at what is about to happen or give the story away as other might wish you to. what then is the purpose of the antisipashon....spelling? i look forward to hearing and reading more soon

I had forgotten about this story, but when I saw my email, I immediately clicked on it and read greedily! With a really big smile! It's about time that Devin is showing some other emotion than fear. I think he's finally feeling safe even around Master.
Life happens but don't forget to update. :)
