Looking forward to finishing this. Just the style and vivid use of dialogue reminds me of one of my favorite authors: Brandon Sanderson! Really enjoying so far.

I read this years before I thought to make an account or bookmark/save it in any way. It was extremely memorable, though, and after a few hours of googling variations of 'fictionpress gay courtesan hypnosis', I finally found this again and binge-read it! It was glorious.

This was an amazing story! I do hope you keep writing, because wowza! That was an amazingstory!

You did great on the plot and development of the characters, and the plot twist about him casting memory spells on himself was simply amazingly well written!

Just wanted you to know, I quite enjoyed this story. I have a deep-seated hatred that I reserve for romances...but for the purposes of this story (and a couple of your others) I have been converted. I hope you're still writing, because you're great at it!

Just rereading an old favourite. I forgot how funny the story is! Especially this chapter, I was in tears the whole time.
I also forgot how many plot twists there were, I was still surprised even reading this the second time round. (It's been a while though).
It was kinda weird seeing my name in your story (I have the same name as the Queen) and I guess I kind of know how people with common names feel now.
Thanks for writing this! I hope to see it published one day, and of course, I'd totally buy it.

just in case you didn't think i was still obsessed with this, i still am. i love it so much. c:

hey i really love this storry! this is actually the second time ive read it and its really well written, ur characters are all lovely and well developed! the only thing that bugged me was the change in Sebastian's hair from the beginning, from black curls to red waves to red curls to black crimps. and how cameo was called it instead of the singular they, them ect. but anyways i loved it! and i was wondering if maybe u could right an epilogue? maybe with adran talking to his parents? and how their lives are after ect... that would be awesome if u wanted to do that!

hi

I just thought you should know how much I love this story.
I rarely favorite stories, I just follow them, but this one is complete so I could do nothing else.
In addition it is 7 minutes until 2 in the morning and I have my Midterm for Math at 11.
You absolutely suck for writing a story so amazing that I could not stop reading until it was over.
Okay I'm sorry you do not suck you are absolutely amazing and I love this story so very much.
Thank You

I love love love this story. To the point that this is probably the 6th time I've read it. I only have one problem. In this chapter (14) towards the end just before Adrian falls asleep you mention him being under the influence of a pain spell when you're not supposed to know yet. I mentally berate myself each time I read it because I'm not supposed to know yet ;) thanks

Your story is perfect, there's not a thing I would change about it

I have to admit, I put off reading this story for years because the summary just did not catch my interest at all. But one of my friends, who I met through our mutual love of slash, demanded it of me, and I am so, soo happy I did.
It was well written, the plot made sense, I loved the culture, and the humor, and the imagery and the all the characters with all my heart. I actually cried a little when Sebastian described how he felt about leaving the Jewel. you put into words such bittersweet nostalgia and I loved it.

If you ever published this in hardcopy, I would definitely buy it. No doubt.

Thank you for writing this!

I came back for a re-read and I'm loving it.

I must say, I was feeling kind of awful, anxious and nauseous from my crappy morning and some other things, but the reading was steadily cheering me up, and when it got to: "Somewhere, I was sure someone was finding my distress hilarious. I bitterly hoped they at least were happy." I did a bit of a double take, because it works as something a person says in such a situation, but it also speaks in a bit of breaking the fourth wall as you the author did make me the reader happy from laughter at it.

Great story! I especially loved how you developed the characters and the plot twists were unusual and fascinating. The storyline has truly captivated me. I still have some questions that I feel we're not answered, but have seen that you're working on other books in the same universe, perhaps you will enlighten us there:) unfortunately, there are still a lot of typos, although they do not occur frequently enough to really distract me/us/the reader. But should you ever plan to revisit the story and correct some of them, please pay special attention to the difference between later and latter, bear and bare as well as accent and assent. Those were the only recurring ones that caught my eye... Thanks a lot for this fantastic story, I'm looking forward to read your other works;)

This was really confusing to read.
Does Adrian honestly know he's Rose Quartz? Did you originally write it so he would not, go back and edit it and forget to edit the rest?
So confused.
