i love it like i love ianto jones.

Please, have mercy and update. pleaaaaaaaaase.

I'm sorry for my immense FANGIRLING, but I LOVE THIS CHAPTER SO MUCH VOMIT VOMIT VOMIT VOMIT

*Sighs contentedly*

I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO SAY! I had no idea that the same author was writing four of my favorite stories! I have no idea how that could miss me D: I first read your story Necropolis a long time ago and loved it, has been on my favorites for a long time. But I remember reading Ventures and Investments and then Unrelated Royalty through reviews but then I lost the bookmark for it DD: BUT NOW I FOUND IT 3 And realized that the writer to the stories are the same person lol!

I adore this story, love it to bits. I love how Justin has put himself truly in the situation he is in and the same time can sympathize with him because why is truly motivated. I love how obsessed Tony is with Justin and how it comes through without you having to spell it out in plain text, exactly WHY he so obsessed with Justin. LOL I feel like I'm not making sense. What I mean is that their actions and feelings really feels motivated by their personalities and where they're coming from. That you beautifully tell us without showing it down our throats but in a subtle, read between the lines way!

Oh. I'm so overwhelmed with complete adoration for this story that I don't even know what to say, except that I love it so much I won't be able to think about anything else until I get to read more. I love it, absolutely love it. Oh, how I love it!

You won't believe how much I wanted this story to be uPdated! Oddly the gutter rat's story is very captivating. It's refreshing to feel such embarrassment for the main character XD yet much love , so much love at the same time. I really thought you'd given up on this story. Was really sad too. There's so much drama in that young man's life. Oi Chris Chris. And that Tony in the shower scene claiming Justin as his own. Classic.

Much thanks for this. Re-reading this was worth it. Please keep 'em coming.

I can see from your profile that you've written many stories, and I know from my own reading that several of them are brilliant. I think this is your best though, I think this is in a class all of its own. It actually takes my breath away. I cry frequently, I swing between truly loving and despising Tony and Justin constantly, and I am completely hooked. This is one of the very few stories that will genuinely upset me if they are never completed. Immense.

I'm starting to have a problem understanding Justin. For a while I thought he was desperate for approval, and doing everything he did for scraps of it, and determined to get it from his father even though his father had taken everything from him that he cared for - and that the revenge motive only kicked in when he realized that nothing he could do would get it: in which case, his determination to stay in LA and make it despite the fact that he'd really burnt all his bridges was consistent with a retroactive desire to prove himself to his father after all.

But this chapter kind of indicates that he's going after his father before he went after Tony, which makes sense with most everything else but not with his wanting to stick around after the agency is done. It feels like he made that happen on purpose.

But somehow, it feels like there is a consistency under _that_, and I'm sort of impatient to see where it is. The whole story feels like a paleontological excavation, where there is a faultline and on one side the layers are tilted and warped away from the other, so going to a specific depth on the Tony side reveals different things from going to the same depth on the Justin side.

I kind of want to know Chris's deal, but even more so, I want him to be dispensed with, but not too abruptly, now that he's invested so much in whatever it is he's really trying to accomplish.

Tony's actually kind of unstable: before, I thought he was just grouchy and hurt.

Dun dun DUN! He finally gets serious. YAY!

You make me swoon with happiness with this story!

AH! This story has definitely captured my interest. It's great so far. I really like it. Even Tony has started to grow on me. Justin is so fucking naive though lol

Oh my. :: fans self :: at the last scene.

The flashback about Justin's "daddy issues" and acting out in seedy hookups made me feel sad for him. He needs a hug. Also, what a hot mess.

But I do love a good misunderstanding, and Justin and Tony have those down to an art form (although Tony kind of understands Justin, he just misunderstands specific stuff and how much he's changed so far).

Thanks for continuing the story!

Hi, no need to worry. Your plot is wonderful. I am so happy to see you updated. OMG I think poor J needs a rescuer! hint hint

OMG thank you so very much for updating this story because it is one of my absolute favorites on fictionpress (I even prefer it over Leviathan). I hope you update this story more often. :)

Please don't tell me that Tony's going to start hurting Justin physically (and that includes S&M). It's bad enough with the verbal abuse and I *hate* S&M.

I find that the two of them are a toxic combo. They make each other miserable and bring out the worst in each other. There's so much bad blood between them that I'm not sure it's possible for them to have a relationship (a healthy one, anyways). Chris x Justin seems more likely at the moment. Not that I mind because I like Chris. :)

And I'm shocked that Justin slept around just to hurt his father (who I'm glad is dead, the f*cking bastard). O_O

The stupid Tony guy is making mad. I've got to get ready for work now, but I'll definitely read more soon. Hope you keep up with this story. It's very interesting :) I like it.
