I love hate you kinda. Love that you've been updating fast but not to sure I like how you left off change.25. But love the story and the characters. Jack is my favorite.

Okay first posting of this sucked of mine. What ment was that I liked the ending it was good. Loved the interaction between Jack and Nicky. But wish you continued on instead of leaving a cliff hanger. I never liked them in the stories I get caught up in. And that ending was to me monumental with everything that's going on.

I hardly leave reviews so I'm awful at it.

Omg, thank God Nikey is ok, but I'm getting this anxious feeling that something happened and he was screwing around on Grant and now has to fess up. Or end it, Idk, he seemed pretty omnious there......I hope he doesn't break Grant's heart. Speakng of Grant, his story isn't finished already, is it? The last I left off Grant was hanging in Nikey's room. Back when he was still straight. lol

And needless to say, I am BEYOND THRILLED that Dustin and Jack FINALLY got together!!!!!!!!!!!! It's amazing how the mind, or the reflexes remember what to do. Dustin knew exactly where to touch Jack, his body remembered, even if his mind didn't. I find that fascinating. But he shouldn't have snuck out like that, like a one-night stand/hooker.

Well, I'll be anxiously awaiting what happened with Nikey! Great job! :) Oh, and p.s. what an ass of a father Jack had. I can't believe he never even said goodbye to his son. What a fucker.

Thank you fir the brownies!! They happen to be a favorite. ;) I really enjoyed the last two chapters even though I have the feeling things with Jack and Dustin might get worse before getting better. Though Dustin recognizing how his hands remembered Jack's body even if he couldn't is a good sign. Maybe I'm wrong but it does feel like Dustin isn't finished hurting Jack just yet. Maybe I'm just a closet ansgt monger?? Nikey is about to provide sone of that I see...you left me hanging a little bit because I can't tell for sure if he did something bad or something bad happened to him. I'm leaning towards the former but you've surprised me before. And that's just the way it should be! :)

Painting was a very nice treat indeed. I love how erotic and romanticit was without being overly explicit. The same applies to the scene in the latest R&R chapter. While explicit has its place and I won't deny enjoying it, the style you chose fits the story better here. You are doing a great job keeping the focus on the characters and emotions.

And don't worry about the typos and such, it isn't a big deal. They are minor and don't detract from the story for me. :)

This was one of my favorite chapters also! :) It was a great chapter where Jack and Dustin were both smiling and relatively happy!

I loved seeing into Jack's mind, when his mom died, and Dustin was there for him. We got to see another glimpse of his past.

It seemed that Jack and Dustin connected a little bit during the concert. I just wish Dustin could have remember, even if it was in pieces, how Jack sang, and the beautiful song they wrote together. And kudos to you for finding these awesomely beautiful (does that even make sense? lol) songs! :)

I must admit though: I'm getting pretty worried about Nikey; what's going on with him? I hope he's ok and shows up in the next chapter. (hint, hint) :)

Hi! I've been reading since the start but this is my first time reviewing. Sorry...I was just being lazy. The story is great and really pulls me in emotionally. That emotional connection is what makes a story worthwhile to me and you have achieved it for sure. Keep up the good work! Also, I know you eschew a beta in favor of more frequent updates (something I have come to be happy about!) but if you would ever like anyone to go over the previous chapters, I would happily do so. I'll probably be rereading them several times anyway. :)

I can't believe I forgot to mention how on edge I am about Nikey. He is a sweet character so I am worried...don't want anything bad to happen to him. Of course, I will understand if that is how the story goes but be warned that I might shed a tear for him. I sense angst ahead! Also, I am developing ab ever-worsening fetish for fingers and lips and you certainly did not help things with your description of Jack's smoking! How Dustin could NOT push him against the wall and grind their hips together speaks to just how mixed up he is right now. Hopefully, a scene like that isn't too awfully far away!

Hey, I didn't see any blog in your profile....

It'll be weird with Jack and Grant playing again. It must have been strange for Patrick to hear that Anthony Tero is the same as Jack Tero, and that Dustin was with him for quite some time. Wouldn't he think that maybe that's why Dustin had such an obsession w/Jack's band? Without even knowing the reason why.

Great chapter! Looking forward to more! :)
