I don't remember reviewing last time I read this story. I think I was mad at you for breaking up such a seemingly perfect couple. I'm crying again but for different reason this time. I glad for them. And while I'm pissed they didn't make it I get it. Sometimes it doesn't work despite everything and I'm glad you showed that. I can honestly say I like this story and I'm excited to go read the sequel.

I was surprised to see you skipped past weeks of their development here. It seems like they're already friends and I think it would've been interesting to actually show that process. Show don't tell, as they say.

The game description was kind of unnecessary and boring. You could have easily just came into the scene with Blake's rant about his win.

And describing your characters appearance by having them look into a mirror is kind of overdone. I've seen that tatic used in quite a few fictions. I will give this another chapter or two.

I don't really understand what the other reviewers were talking about. Adam Lee & Blake Edwards didn't end up together? Really? Sorry, I just...can't stand stories that have flashbacks, so I skipped this story to the last two chapters. Buuutt...they end up together, I think, because in story "Um Dads? I'm Straight" of the same author, the "Dads" there refer to Adam Lee & Blake Edwards, right? "Mr. Lee" & "Mr. Edwards". Ring a bell?
CMIIW & sorry if what I write here could be a kind of spoiler..? Well, I wouldn't know, I'm just not a fan of sad ending stories. :/

Ohmygod. I'm dying of what my friend would call 'second-hand-embarrassment.' I swear my face is all red. This chapter is just so... Could things have been anymore awkward?

So, This story's old, and I haven't even checked to see if you even got on here anymore, but... Oh mygod. I cried. I bawled my eyes out over this. I loved this story and I hated it, and I fell in love with the way it all fell together and hated the way it all fell apart at the end. Maybe I'm just too expectant for happy endings. God, you're story touched me deeply.
On that awkward note, I'm off to creep on whatever other wonderful stories you've written.

As I finished the chapter I looked at how many chapters there was... My reaction was "ERMARGERD! So many chapters! Though this shall be good and time consuming :)" can't wait!

I actually love the random flashes. It's new and different. It's also very well written.

Putting on the appropriate songs from the RENT soundtrack while you read the chapters they're in because you're awesome.
Okay, this is a really good story so far. I hope it gets better as it goes along.

is it bad that as much as I like Blake,I want Adam to hook up with Matt? lol

Aha! That turned out the opposite of how I thought it would. Totally thought Adam would be the one with unreturned feelings.

I really love your writing style. It has a way of getting your characters personalities across rather well.

I absolutely loved this story and now I'm trying so hard not to cry, even though I guessed that they wouldn't end up together near the beginning of the story, lol. You did an amazing job on this and-argh I'm totally in love with Blake and Adam! I'm totally about to tune into the sequel...perhaps after sleep?

pish...sleep xD

Also, I notice you are Australian, so am I xD Is it me or is every Australian on this site a slash writer? I've only ever met two that aren't! lol...once again, great job! :D

I think it's very brave of you to write and post this story.

it's truly one of the most believable stories here and i really appreciate that you didn't rush into things (and make them fall head over heels in love after the 1st chapter), that you included the coming out scenes (which are guaranteed tearjerkers for me...i don't know why most other slash stories don't have them.) and that you slowly inched towards the break-up using a unique yet realistic conflict (the whole how-do-you-even-know-what-love-is-in-high-school-?-i'm-doing-a-million-other-things-right-now just works better that the usual, I'm-seeing-someone-else. I sensed them slowly drifting apart (because of not spending enough time with each other and having different priorities and being "tempted" by people around them and a lot of other reasons).

i also liked how you alternated between flashbacks and present-time scenes. it got a bit confusing at the start but i got the hang of it eventually XD. i felt that it gave a sense of continuity to the story and depth to the characters. AND it gave a feeling of nostalgia throughout the story.

i also felt that it was smart of you to construct the story in "episodes", like how a few weeks pass in between chapters and how most of the chapters offer just glimpses of the year and not a continuous stream of events. this style works really well with the flashbacks because the natural way of looking back at the past is in short bursts of emotion and eventful memories. :D

And even though there was no (clear) happy ending (for AdamxBlake shippers)... i still found the story amazing 3 and very meaningful.

Thanks for being a writer...and for spending a lot of your time creating this story. I LOVED IT.

aannnd if you decide to write again...please continue the sequel! (is Max gonna be the other ? and will you ever give a bit of a clue on what happens to Blaaaake and Adam at the reunion?) T_T dying.

well shit. i have to go to school in 3 hours and my face is a mess. DEATH BY CRYING. AAAHHHH. SO SAD. BUT SO GOOD. OMIGOD. I CANT EVEN. *starts crying again*

-head desk- I THOUGHT THEY WERE FKING MARRIED. lol... dang it... i feel sooo stupid now. omigod. NOOO. this breaks my heart. im just hoping in the next two chapters they freaking get together or i'm going to like fangirldie. ;
