Not to be dumb, but I'm having a hard time following along. I love the writing, I'm just confused by the characterization. Just when I think I've got a handle on Tony and Justin things shift again and it's hard to follow.

This was such a bitter sweet chapter!

I looovvveeee it!

o_o So good...I must go back and re-read it from the beginning.

glad to see justin being nicer! hope he keeps getting better as a person and gets together with tony!

Aww he's falling for Tony! I adore this chapter! Thank you for uploading

Oooo the new layout-thing at the top of each chapter showing the summary (and your sexy picot) is snazzy.

OOOOOOOOO HIS STOMACH FLIPPED BECAUSE OF BUTTERFLIES YUP

I stayed up all night reading this story of yours and I got to tell you, I love it.

When I first started reading Ventures and Investments, I thought Justin and Tony were just bitter rivals who were going to fall in love with each other in the end. I'm so gald it was more than that.

The whole time I was reading the later chapters, I couldn't help but feel a little sorry for Tony. You could tell in the flashbacks that he was in love with Justin and would do anything for him, but Justin nevered notice or cared.

I have one question though: Is Tony still in love with Justin or does he really hate Justin now? I understand that he wants Justin to feel the pain he felt but that's all.

this is a clusterfuck! all they do is just tear each other down. its awful. makes me want to cry. its so angsty, which i really like... lol. nice!

Exciting as always. I got chills when you showed us Tony's insanity. Can't wait for the next chapter. Is it just me, or are Tony and Justin both really messed up and pretty codependent?

A...h, I'm speechless. YES. That good!

This is pretty amazing. I love Tony's whole obsession with justin. The whole LA lifestyle Is pretty well-written.I can't wait for The next update.

Oh my gosh this story is so darn addicting!

Gyah! I absolutely love this story of yours Rough Draft D. I even adore Justin, although I feel like wrangling him for all of his sheer denseness and shallow temperament. The character development for your main cast members is well done. I sincerely wish you further luck and inspiration as you continue on with this story.

It's starting to look as if Justin is the most normal out of the bunch. XD I can't seem to figure out Chris and his true motive so I'm wary of him, and Tony is just a bucket full of crazy. I have no clue which direction this story is headed and I love that. :D

I seriously thought Justin had no clue about Tony's love because the story is mostly from his point of view and it seemed as if he genuinely didn't know.

Thanks for the update. Can't wait for the next one.

I didn't leave a review for a while. I was just re-reading and mulling over the characters. This was excellent (as usual!) and I love how all the motives and love/hate relationships are so borderline.

I don't know, but even seeing how twisted Tony really is, I still want Justin to end up with Tony. v_v Their relationship seems almost unredeemable, but I feel like there's still a small chance for redemption for the both of them and that Chris is still an outsider to their deep and dark past.

I love how there's been so many plot twists throughout. In the last chapter we discovered Justin's secret of knowledge of Tony's (one-sided?) crush. And in this chapter we learn Tony may have a secret too - making sure Justin "stays wounded."

I'm so excited to learn how!

Not only that, if the two of them have been to low-key gay bars together, there's still some past that we don't know about!

I love you intersperse some of their past into the story. :)
