This was so good! Just the right mix of bleak and hopeful and lip-bitingly explicit. I really like being on the inside of Austin's thoughts. I enjoyed reading this very much. Thanks for a great read.

I like this.
Just how I like my one-shots, with a lot of 'bang'!
And I love the ending, seemingly ambiguous but I read a lot of hope into it.
As Billie would say 'a scary story'.

Well done.

It's very good.

You packed a lot of story into so short a word count.

The end left me with a hopeful outlook on their future. Oh, and a bit frustrated! Thanks anyway!

How come you are so shy about your writing? Dude, this is awesome and you deserve more recognition. If Toe hadn't prompted and you didn't respond...I'd never know about you! Sacrilage my friend, pure sacrilage. Anyways I'm off to read more stories...hope you're not a one time thing. :D

wow. you have skills unbeknowest to me. great job and not i'm going to go read the rest of your fics

My gosh, this is so bleak . . . and beautiful.

This story was awesome. You really don't have any right to be so shy about your writing. I liked the slight discomfort and hesitance that didn't come off as shyness, if that makes any sense. It was like a real first time random hook up when you don't know what the fuck exactly to do but you know you want to do it, and you know what to do at the moment, but not exactly after. And the blowjob scene was ridiculously hot.

This is soooooo awesome. I loved it X) Especially the last line. It was..it was just the right line to end it.

This was amazing! I love your writing style :] But i was confused with the ending. Does Nathan want Austin to leave? Or come back? Either way, it's a really good one shot. :] Please do another!

That was awesome! *_* Seriously awesome.

It reads a little sad. I don't know if that's what you intended but the story made me feel lonely. Which is good!

Also, porn was hot. _

Man you're good. You got skill, boy.

The biggest strengths I noticed in this are your descriptions and characterisation.

With the description, it's just all those little bits of information about the scenery and what people are doing that piece together to form really clear visuals. Enough information to clearly imagine the scene, but not so much that it gets boring.

And these characters! I love them already. I'm really curious about Nate. He seems like a really complex and deep character. They both do. But most of all, they feel real. The whole story feels real and genuine.

Hope you update soon :)
