He lost his family and childhood friends barely a few months ago yet he doesn't seem to have any emotional scar at all, he's not sad or depressed; it's completely unrealistic. What's the point of writing such a tragic event if you're going to ignore it afterward? To be brutaly honest it's plain bad writing.

Thank you for the story! I was a little skeptical in the beginning, especially with the traumatic story line, but I could see a definite improvement in writing as as the story continued and I really enjoyed it! I appreciated that the step parents was not the evil character for once-and I also greatly appreciated that the step brother wasn't the love interest either. Looking forward to reading more of your stories!

Haha omg that line! "I'll ignore that you're late, Katz, if you ignore that I'm latest." Did you get it from A Very Potter Sequel? Ohh Remus Lupin... :D Amazing stuff.

Btw I'm loving the story so far..!

Great story, great plot!

really enjoyed

I'm glad Rye came through in the end, I knew he would.

Damn you make me cry right from the start,

Very lovely story! I totally cried when foster spilled to rye about his past!

I followed this once and.. Near the end I abandoned this story.

Have it on my saved page for ages and just looked at it again now. This is still beautiful. I am really sorry I'm review-ing this now and not two years ago.

Thank you for this.

God I hope this didn't qualify as filler...I've been close to tears the entire story and this one finally put me over the edge. That moment between Foster and Dani? Really fucking beautiful.

This is an awesome story! You should be mega proud! :)

I really enjoyed the story and hope to read more of your stories in the future.

I found Foster's strained relationship with his father very well described and liked the way Foster stood up to him and told him what he thought of him... I sure as hell wouldn't have the guts to say something like that.

Of course I was angry with Rye for leaving Foster alone when he needed him but I can understand his reasons.

I'm also glad you didn't overdo it with the "sex" scenes as some writers tend to do. I thought they were well written and realistic.

This story has had me up and down with the emotions lol. I really enjoyed it.

I really enjoyed this story. It is very well written and executed.

The ending is a bit of a let-down, in the sense that the story just kind of trails off. I guess that’s necessary to a degree, if you are beginning with something entirely traumatic. The healing will never be as dramatic as the injuring. However, I feel that you could have played up the reconciliation between the characters at the end more. I was really hoping for a discussion about his parents but it never really happened.

I liked the pains you took to establish setting, and the social world the characters inhabit. It isn’t easy, and you did a good job. I also like that Rye has a kind of fey and effeminate appearance without his character being determined by that.

I think you show loads and loads of promise. Please keep writing.

Im just reading this story and you have already finished it, so I'm a bit late, but I saw your authors note and want to react.

You don't need to worry so much. You write good. I do feel that you might have given some time to describe his moving away. Saying goodbye to the live he has lived, the remaining family of his friends who died. I've missed that a bit. I suppose in the next chapter(s) you will expand on the relationship with his father and what their problem is. Might have something to do with Foster being gay?

Your doing fine. Keep going.
