*weeps* That was my favorite chapter... it was just so -sensual- gosh, I can hardly even type properly, I keep messing up..

You know, I actually read this the first day it was updated, but I kept getting interrupted and it was just awful.. so now I'm back! And I'm completely in love with this chap... I adore Cerulean and the narrator so much.. the angst, and doubt.. ahh! It was great. Good stuff, indeed.

As for that tattoo... my goodness.. yum! Also, the descriptions were marvelous (as usual) I enjoy reading them so much... not to mention they were very.. well, I'm not sure how to put this except that this chapter seemed very sexy. Or sensual, as I said. Heh, yum again.

Oh, I can't wait to read more about these crazy, intriguing characters. *drool* I do adore them, after all. Thanks for a lovely read!! I'll be back next time...

*hug*

Oh, Cerulean. You've concocted quite a character, my dear. ^_^ And your hard work shows in this one.

Very nicely done, Mina. Not only could I visualize what was happening in this chapter, but I could almost FEEL what was happening. The only thing that was left unclear was Cerulean's initial reluctance to push things further right before he mentioned the prom. I honestly have very little to say, because this is one of the most well written chapters I've seen from you. Well done!

Purdy.

^_^ I love this story. Ahem, well, yes, I read this chapter SO long ago, but then something crazy was going on and I didn't have time to review, so I thought I'd wait until I could chatter away as usual. Heh. Anyway, I'll say it again.. well, I think I said it before.. anyway! This really is my favorite work of yours. It's so striking, so seductive and just so -great-. Waa.And Cerulean is wonderfully roguish. I love him, too. Very much so. Watch out... narrator character (I scoured the pages and I can't find a name.. but it's possible I missed it. Mergh.).. he's luring you to the dark side!! Oh, well, I suppose it's more fun over there, anyway. Being good never got anyone anything. O.o;;... I'm not a car person, in fact I'm incredibly oblivious, but the Saleen sounds delicious. As well, as for Cerulean's soft spot for virgins.. hah, he really is a rogue. Yes! I can't wait to see how he got his tattoo!! *jitter* I hope your week isn't too terrible, and that you survive so that you might update soon. ^_^ I'm sorry.. I'm sure you've noticed, but my brain has evaporated.

Til next time!

This character has the potential to be the most developed one you've created that I've read. Very nice. Glad you decided to further pursue writing on this story. A little curious about the ending. I'm left wondering if they actually had sex or if Cerulean saying that the main character is a virgin was simply a statement of fact. Overall, very well written. One thing that always bothers me if they did end up having sex is that it follows the pattern a lot of your stories seem to take and while there's nothing wrong with consistency you also risk becoming predictable. Like how in every James Bond film Bond saves the day and gets the girl. You know that entering the theater, the story already clear to you and only the "how" left to be discovered. And yes, I realize we already had a discussion about the world being increasingly more overtly sexual. That sex is involved isn't the issue. It's more on predictability of story. You *KNEW* that the protagonist and the antagonist from "Ruby Shadows", "Second Landing", and "My Sinful Blue," although "My Sinful Blue" made it apparent from the start. Now while I say this I absolutely love the sensual quality of all your work, "My Sinful Blue" especially seems to possess this tactile nature. You can literally *TASTE* the candy and cigarettes on Cerulean's lips. You can *FEEL* the main character's frustration with society's molds to the point where it almost seems electric. On the whole, very well written. I look forward to more.

Oh wow. You are the Goddess, the Queen of beautiful, glorious descriptive writing. I just sat at my compy and soaked it all up. And I -know- I praise your descriptions -all- the time, but it's because it astonishes and impresses me everytime. *contented* And although I adore many of your other works, I think this chapter/story/short piece (eh) is my absolute favorite thus far. I don't know why.. maybe because I'm doped up, but I enjoyed your illustrative style SO much in this chap.. gosh, it was just so powerful.

Hmm, although, like the person who reviewed before myself.. (?) there was a little bit of slight confusion in the beginning as to the gender of the narrator, however, the very first time he spoke, I knew it was a guy due to the nature of the dialogue. Which was very cool, actually. ^_^

As for that fool TomofthePow... people who can't excercise proper grammer and/or punctuation, especially while attempting to critique someone should never expect to be taken seriously. Nevertheless, it makes a very amusing story. And creates quite an immature picture of him.. but sheesh, the nerve of him to tarnish your lovely story with such a childish response. *eye rolling* If I knew this character, I'd use him for tackle practise. Bwa ha. Uhm, anyway, enough on him. It's wasted space. *chuckle*

*glomp* I'm forever your fan, so til next time, then!

I liked it! I thought it was a little erotic as well. I had a little trouble with the gender of the second character until this line :“Oh, I wouldn’t let him.” Cerulean rested his frame across the doorway. “Is it all settled?”Maybe I'm just dumb though ^^;;. I thought it worked as a short story. A nice picture of an intriguing character. Can't wait to see the next one ^_^.

... is it wrong that I'm turned on? o.O Nice. I'd like to see more of this. It has a lot of potential. It would work nicely into a larger story, but as a stand alone it leaves me feeling unfulfilled. Wonderful use of imagery. The whole thing was very sensual. On a complete side note, I challenge you to write a story that DOESN'T have sex of some kind in it. Other than that, I can't offer you much more until I have more to read.

Yeah it was crap
