just a note about the last chapter (8?)
does this happen in england? cause if it does, you've got the education system a little muddled

its senior or secondary school and the whole freshman, sopomore, junior, senior fails to exist in england.

but otherwise full on amazing story, i'm in love with it already (well i was hooked on the first chapter)

GOOD WORK!

reminds me exactly of a percy/oliver slash fic i read.

I really liked Nick and Jake in this story. However I could not stand Leigh. I skipped over the parts that dealt with her, her reaction to the kidnapping of her son felt so lacking and she came off very shallow and fickle to me.

I adore this story!
I really liked the idea of Leigh and Jake being famous together and then suddenly coming back to 'reality' and everyones basically going crazy over them.
Nick and Cass are cuties xD - Well, obviously, being related an all.
Haha, I really like Nick's students as well xD They amused me greatly.
So, overall, mmyay, i love this and the ending was lovely too xD
- but i'm sappy so nyahh.
:)

Great story, keep up the good work.

erm i've read this story before and i have no idea how i managed to get through it. anyway i think u wantd ppl to review so yea. i guess is a nice story if u into the angst. but the part about alex and nick screwing just annoyed me. y break up with someone to go screw them later when u having problems? it makes nick seem like a weak idiot frankly. also i absolutely hate it when authors build up the tension between the main characters and the first time either one of them has sex is with someone else. it's such a cheap unoriginal mindless plot device. go read rise of the dawn. it's fantastic because neither of them have gotten drunk, had a stupid argument or screwed everybody in sight, and the tension and drama is still there.

Excellent story. I'm realy sorry that I didn't review the previous chapters, I just wanted to read the entire story all at once. This story is really well written and the plot is very nice. The characters were very well drawn. It was also a very great thing how you managed to mix humour and angst so well. And the last chapter made me like the story even more. All in all, you're a great writer, I hope to read more of your work.

Actually, for a hangover the only thing that works is water, cause a hangover is mostly sever dehydration, along with deficiencies of certain vitamins and the added problems with consuming ethanol.
One of the reasons Coffee is suppose to work is that it has caffeine which can be a pain killer and that it is made with water.
And yes, I am an anal retentive biddy.
Love the story so far.

lol.. Cute. Enjoyed it a lot.^^

I really can't understand Arthur. He seems to be totally crazy, because he doesn't have any motivation that makes sense. From the first scene where he drops in it makes no sense. First of all he had no reason to know that Leigh and he kids had any connection to Rowena, but he seems to react as though he had prepared for seeing Leigh and demanding the twins. Secondly, why does he even want them?? For revenge purposes? Thirdly, how did he even think he can get away with grabbing Collin from the park if the kid didn't agree to come with him (as I suppose there were tons of parents and kids there and if Collin had said he didn't know the man...). Which brings me to why did Collin go with him? You keep saying the twins are 10 years old, but you make them behave in the story as though they're 5. A 10 year old is pretty smart (has already finished at least 4 years of school and probably read at least a book or two and has quite a bit of understanding about human nature and complex notions of morality).
The romance between Jake and Nick is very cute and Leigh is a charming character, but this whole Arthur kidnapping her kids thing sound kinda forced into the story if you ask me.
Sorry, for being so critical. I actually like the way you write quite a lot. You manage to introduce a lot of characters, that I actually remember the names of and that is a huge deal in itself. I like how Jake's manager deals mostly with Leigh :) I also like that you pay attention like what tea they are having or what food they want to order even if isn't important in the plot. Just a touch of realism.

awesome story! i couldn't stop reading it!

i'm reviewing at the end of this so i'll keep it breif

i don't know if this was on purpose but you missed a line in helena's monalogue. after ''...judgement taste'' it goes "wings not eyes firgure unheedy haste"

[[i did this scene for english class last year. i can't believe i remember it this well]]

Oh my god I love this story
mostly because it's brilliantly written and the characters are believable and the descriptions are all perfect
but a tiny bit also because of the QC reference
Perfect

you've guilt tripped me into doing a review as ive often read many good stories without reviewing as i should ^.^

anyway.. i really like the way your characters interact and how smoothly the story flows.

this is definately one of the more interesting stories ive read and im interested in how its going to turn out.

(>^) were the wolf (^

I read it twice because it was beautiful.

You inspire me.
