NO! NO! Alright, to start off, I'm not very good with reviews. And I knew it was a bad bad idea to read a story that hasnt been updated in, what, 3 years? But your writing captivated me. It was amazing. And I loved the way the characters play out their personalities in all their interactions. shoot i have to go. in any case, I do hope you'd one day update this. XD

GEM. i am liking this very much. ok let me get back to reading first XD

YOu can't just end it there! That's so annoying!! What happens?

please continue? :

He's such a wind up to Lucas, jeez. I like this a lot, I hope you continue it.

please update soon! I never usually beg for updates, but this is the most wonderful thing ever written in existance and i would add it to my favs were it not for the fact that my boyfriend knows of my account and doesn't approve of the fact i am mad about slash :(

This is awsomely written and totally gripping and I love it to pieces.

this keeps getting better and better.

I am still waiting for lucas to get thumped though
...

Ach im awful, but this is very very good writing, your characters keep expanding and getting better and more rounded. and the plot is awesome and richard is cool and john is AWESOME and lucas would look better with a briuse on his face.

oh. Lovely lovely backstory. Richard as a boy! yay! And pretty little boy-hores stealing off richard. yay! Will go read johns story as soon as i finish this. i didn't think it would be so good before but after this chapter i want to see adolescant richard so badly.

wow. last two chapters have been amazing. so amazingly wonderful

...

richard should have hit him *nodnods*

mmph. lovely. poor kid. i await with anticipation the day when something nasty actually happens to him, in the hopeful knowledge that richard will probably try to bail him out :)

The plot is awesome. flows smoothly without seeming contrived. :)

lovely. I do love how you have sort of humour and thoughtfulness and interest and steamyness all in there. Great work, and wonderful characters.

"He was the dirt in the smoothness of society's world, but you didn't see nobles and gentry rushing to glorify him, to turn him into something wonderful."
Give it 100 years or so richard. they'll worship you then :)

e! nice. Stranger is growing on me. I was not certain about his character at first, but it does work very well. and the interaction between the two of them is amazing :) great stuff, no crit so far.

oh. i love the interaction between them, especially the talk about god and stuff. you write the dialogue really well :) The descriptions are good too, creating the stmosphere and stuff.

I am starting to adore richard. he is so funny and cool and interesting.

i love yr spoilt little brat on the horse :) great story so far, looks like its gonna be very good...

Bad, bad Lucas... Ahaha.
I wonder what's gonna happen next? Damn, you're such a good author. I'd say "please update soon", but you've got a lot of other awesome stories and more to your life, so no preasure. Whenever you can manage, I'll be happy. Thanks for sharing and writing such a great story!
