abuse** HILARIOUS. I love how it digs into a characters head and draws out their thoughts for most of the story. It's more unique. And boy are those some interesting thoughts, too. ;P

abuseThis is amazing. All of your stuff has such a wonderful voice and unique characters! Every chapter is like a breath of fresh air and gives me that completely contented feeling like there is still hope left in the ability of writers.

Please update soon and often! Love you!

abuseWhat I like about Thom is that he is disillusional about the whole thing. And he is such a good liar that he can sense it when other try to fool him. Actually he never stops analysing others and himself. It is very interesting.

abusethis chapter was amazing. George *so* wants Thom as much as Thom does e.g. '“Some people can roll out of bed looking ** hot,” he snaps, stuffing the picture into his pocket.'

that was one of my favorite lines after the rant about the lentils : "Oh God. He’s a six foot five, stubbly, testosterone-fuelled twink. I’m sure that’s illegal."

squue! I cannot wait tot read more of this story!
P.S. is Thom the biggest homophobic homosexual ever? If that is even possible..

abuseBut, um, okay, he's doing the same thing! Well, not really, but kind of. Um. yes. So the fact that the air in that room has now taken over the air in this very empty office-like space full of dust kind of makes me love your writing oh so much. Just. hum.
incoherent and late for work,

abuselol. No pressure!

I liked this chapter a lot. It made me laugh when he was talking about the old ladies and his illogical respect for elderly. XD

Does Evan know his name?

abuseIt's ok that it's been a while. You'd have to beat me with a stick to get me away from this lovely story.

I love how we get a much closer view of Evan in this chapter. He's such a cutie. (Thom is so screwed.)

And I feel so sorry for poor Thom. Though I think, by the end of the chapter, he isn't so much feeling sympathetic as vindictive. It feels like he wants to just stuff it in Evan's face that there are more important things than being the archetypal gayboy.

I'm very much looking forward to more. :)

abuseI love Thom. His internal monologue is hysterical. I loved the part about beating the history geeks to death with their historically accurate weapon of choice. I was laughing my ** off when he described Evan as a fashion conscious badger. That having been said, there's also a very serious side to the story that I think you balance well with the humor. All in all this is an extremely well written and engrossing read. Thanks for posting!

abuseAll that effort to take the pictures and develop them, only to find out they're screwed up...that would SUCK O_O But, hey...an excuse to see Evan ^^ Heh heh... I like that Thom realizes what the outcomes would be and is doing everything he can to avoid them. This is like the total opposite of denial (and beyond acceptance!). I dunno, I just really like it. Pft, he thinks he can take Evan? Honestly, I think Evan would win in a "pinning-against-the-wall" spat. Ah, George is a good friend...takes care of him...and feeds him! Food is very important for hormone-crazed boys ^^ I wouldn't be surprised if Evan has a crush (okay, maybe not THAT far...the lust equivalent of a crush...) on Thom. The scenes with them together are a lot of fun, cuz with their mind games and manipulative words it's really interesting to see who has the upperhand. Oh, and insight into Evan...and the inevitable anger :P Oh, this story is so intense! XD Can't wait for more! (And on a completely unrelated note (okay, kinda related), I reread the last chapter and listened to "Repeating History" with the swing scene...it made it seem so different! It was so passionate XD Ah, loved it...)

abusethere is a quality to this story that i just adore. the depth of character, the psychology you've worked in is just captivating. thom analyzing evan, seeing images of his own past self, is really interesting, although i can't help but feel that perhaps he's too willing to cast evan into his old shoes rather than really trying to get to know the boy. i'm really looking forward to how their relationship dynamic develops, since it really seems like evan is trying to be friendly, even in the face of thom's resistance.

abuseThom is such a photographer. I love it.

Swing is too ballroom! Ballroom is an umbrella term that includes such dance forms as swing/jive, viennese waltz, tango, samba, cha-cha, night club two step, rumba, foxtrot, merengue, and salsa (and others).

abuseI like how you expand and deepen Evan's personality. Makes him more likable.
And I LOVE Thom so much, even if he's kind of a bastard.
Can't wait to read more ! Please update soon !

abuseThis is strange and interesting... I almost didn't read past the first chapter as I was worried I was reading from the POV of a rather nasty character... Still not convinced I'm not, but this story os too interesting... I find I need to read more.

Brilliant story, very strange, but awesome!
