“We gotta pick one or the other. I say a space satellite is ten times cooler than Jesus.”

I just found my new favorite quotation! XD Oh, and I like the story so far. Now I'm off to continue! ^_^

Shit, that was amazing. I really liked it. I be sure to look at some of your other stuff.

wow ,i just read this whole series and wanted to tell you how much i enjoyed it .I would have given up on jesse a long time ago but I am glad that someone cared enough to try and love him .

Oh! I loved it!! But I'll admit I was hoping a bit for the smexin' after they got out of Bethlehem and away from his mum :) But nice, really. Sweet and tortured. I thought his emotions, where he knew what he shoudl do, but was too scared to do it, were very realistic. Have a cookie for an amazing story *hands cookie*

Thanks for the story - this one hooked me in and I ended up reading all night :) Unhelpfully I can't say what exactly hooked maybe but the pace, the combination of crazy and sane and some suprisingly appealing characters.

I put out a request on LJ for someone to link me to lengthy, well-written slash fic, and this is the first thing I got-- admittedly I was initially a little wary, because high school romance has such high potential to be done poorly, but you've pulled it off incredibly well.

I absolutely adored Nate. Well, maybe that's not accurate. I had a bit of a love/hate relationship with him sometimes, like "Dear God, just tell him you love him already, you bloody idiot!" And Jesse! Oh, Jesse, why so adorable? Honestly, this is among the best original fics I've read lately, even though it seems as though you were less than into it by the end.

Thank you for writing! Definitely a fave, and probably something I'll read a couple more times. (:

It's 1am in the morning so I'm not sure how coherent a review this will be, but here goes...

I've been reading this story non stop over the last few days and have just finished. Needless to say, it was a very good read. You do descriptions wonderfully, both of characters and scenery. Everything was so easy to visualise in my mind.

The characters were done very realistically. You know, it's hard for me to even think how to explain that comment, because you've done it so well and so consistently that pointing out individual instances of realism is hard because it's ALL realistic. And such a varied cast! All of your characters are individuals with different motivations and viewpoints.

You kept my rapt attention for almost 200,0 words, and I am not known for my long attention span. I have a strong preference for sci fi and fantasy because I quickly tire of human dramatics. But this? This is human dramatics done right. I'm a strong believer that the topic of a story doesn't matter - it's the author that matters. You are a good author and so it matters not that high school relationship drama isn't something I'm normally particularly interested in. You made it interesting, and you made it real.

I'm glad the boys got such a happy, hopeful ending. You managed to tie things together so nicely, the way you finished it.

Nate calling Jesse 'homeboy' and 'beau' is kind of the sweetest thing ever. Because it's different, and not sappy. I don't know. I just love it.

Okay, I am tired. Tomorrow, I check out what other fic you have up for offer. Thanks for a great read.

oh my god. I was having the shittiest day, but I started reading this because it's been on my little list of things I've been meaning to read, and man, I am so glad I did! I was laughing out loud practically the whole time and it's already cheered me up immensely, and I've only read the first chapter! Now I'm going to go read some more :)

I've actually read half way into the story before life took over my side and I didn't get to go onto fictionpress anymore! But I didn't forget about this story. It was too hard to, and I loved it so much! It's definitely memorable. :)!

After I finished it, I actually re-read it again during my lesiure time this week and it still puts a huge grin to my smug face. lol

The character interaction flowed so smoothly and I felt that each and every one of them had a great role in your story. No characters were forgotten, unlike some stories I've read. Usually I'd end up going, "Who's she/he?" when they reoccur again in the later chapters. But not yours. :D

And it's so nice that none of them are very submissive. They're so strong in their own ways. And the guys (gay ones, lol) are not passive. They have their own super snarky/masculine side. Even with Erik. That jerk. lol

I find them all so endearing. And I just love your sentences. It's so well structured. Like pwnage quotes. Not sucking up, but it's true. xD

I still remember Lynnie's rant as she walked away, "Jessie Jones, Jessie Jones, Jessie Jones...!"

And how Nate still knows about some things about her even though they're so strained apart now. Like the part where he doesn't have to go to find her to thank her for telling about Jessie; as she already knows, he assumed. It's bittersweet. :)

This is definitely one of my most favorite stories I've ever read on this site. Good luck with the future!

I have so much to say but I don't want to end up writing a novel (even though I might have already).

I almost didn't want to review for fear of disrupting the 505 reviews already present because I'm OCD like that. But I thought what the hell! I read this whole thing in a few days and I have to say without any doubt that this story is now my ALL TIME FAVORITE here on Fictionpress. I loved it so much I don't know what to do with myself now that there is no more to read. You say it was rambly but I think that was part of its charm plus it was woven so beautifully I think it makes up for whatever flaws it might have. I'm too blinded by its brilliance to see any, personally. Thanks so much!

I have to say the middle chunk was one of the most frustrating things I've ever read, but only because it was so perfectly done. Great characters, and I don't know what you mean about it wandering, because it was remarkably tight and consistent. It ought to be published. Can't wait to read more from you!

Damn if that wasn't the greatest story I've ever read I don't know what is. I just wish it was published in novel form so I could add it to my library. I'm almost afraid I'll forget it but I know I won't cuz its just so good. Well if you ever do publish it let me be the first to buy the book. email@ deadchik70@aol. com

Recommended to me by a friend, I have to say this is ridiculously amazing. :) Even got me to laugh really loud, really unexpectedly. It's only the first chapter but I'm enchanted. I'm definitely going to read the rest!

...How the HELL did you write so much? Damn.

Anyway, yeah. This is just me saying how much I love this first chapter. :D

Oh what a sweet ending...Although,to tell the truth,I got a bit confused with the deal between Crisler and Nate...But that doesn't matter really.What matters is that they both will try to find happiness with each other(Nate and Jesse,not Nate and Crisler lol) and although we didn't have any smut scenes(:P) the ending made me melt a bit!

All in all,a great story!!Thank you so much for sharing it!Cheers!!

I'm sorry it took me so long to review,but I was out of town...on vacation yay!

So,Crisler *is* actually CIA?!Wow,I mean,this was wow..The whole chapter just blew mymind!I think Nate maybe needs some anger management lessons!

Anyway,I'm going to read the last chapter now and try not to feel sad that this has come to an end!
