OH SH** I REALLY HOPE HE DOESNT DIE I HATED HIM EARLIER BUT NOW I CAN'T LET HIM DIE! OH MY GOD THIS POOR GUY! Keep writing, my friend. This is great work. You should definitely publish this and make it an actual, physical book that I can take with me to places lacking Internet access... :D love you and your writing!

Astir-Lewis chapter 7 . 6/29/2013
Hi, yeah I love the story so far, and while I haven't read this chapter yet I had to review because I love the use of the title. It's a quote from Iago in Shakespeare's Othello I believe. I love that play. While this is an amazing quote, my favorite would have to be Othello telling Desdemona "Thou art false as hell." I love the story so far, the only thing that confused me was Robbie (Monroe) being in the bookstore wearing what he was wearing and then not even thinking about it later on. Also how comfortable already he is with Julian as to call him Jules without actually "knowing" him. The final thing would be as to how initially he got bored with everything, and seemed so proper, but as soon as he even spoke to Julian that all seemed to fly out the window, at least in my opinion. It may be to early to even be thinking about such things though, so I'll just have faith that you know what you're doing, and continue to read this wonderful story.

"He poor kid didn't know how to stop Jacob."
Um, yeah.

Anyway, I forgot to mention, but thirty weeks! Congrats on carrying on so well.
At around ch. 25, it did start dragging, but this chapter was the redeeming chapter. Great job.

I am a little confused, though.
Were the two Julians the same people? I know they had different last names, but the chapter ended as if Paul already knew this Julian.

Oh, well. Maybe I'll find out next week.

"I know I don't any more Goddamn sleep."

Still jamming that stake deep into my heart.
Agh, it'll get better, it'll get better...

I hope Robert will fall in love with someone else. Or that he doesn't want to contact Julian again in the future. Just to show Julian what he let go of. Dammit Julian è_é I am so angry with him right now

Why on earth would you decide to kill me like that.
Words? What are words? I have none of them to say.
Waiting until next week.

This story was actually extremely well set out to begin with, but now it just seems like you're dragging it on.
Don't get me wrong. It still does have an amazing storyline, but (if you compare it to the original R&J) it goes off on a long tangent.
At chapter 26, I could see what you may have been getting at (one fails to top exams, and they both decide to escape their families or something along those lines, similar to the original) but now - and maybe it's a good thing - I can't really understand the point of this story other than the drama.
Too many dramatic people.
MagnificentFern chapter 27 . 6/7/2013
oooooooooooooooooohhhhhhh ! i am speechless ! Is the fiction ending on this ? I really really hope we get to follow the boys longer. If I am honest I am hoping for more drama, like somehow having the boys reunited 4 years later for example and Robert being affected by this break-up, refusing to get attached again to someone... the possibilities are endless. I am so sadistic -_- torturing your boys with more drama in my mind when they just broke up.
Thanks for the awesome chapter, I sincerely hope there is more to come !

Julian, though his backstory is a bit overdramatic at times, really fits the picture. It’s amazing how you open up his real feelings to us bit by bit. The fact that he actually has very low self-esteem, want and needs approval so desperately (which explains his obsessive competitiveness at the beginning of the story) etc. I came to like him more and more.

This story is so high school that it had me smiling and rolling my eyes at times, but you’re a brilliant writer, you pull it off without a sweat. The unrealistic-ness of it could have bothered me (sorry love, I’m trying to give honest criticism but I know you can take it x)) however it -didn’t- because, again, you pulled it off so well. It’s like reading a manga. This whole story reads like a manga, the stereotypes are so easy to visualise. I love that, it’s an amazing way of writing. Your vocab and everything is also really advanced, it’s a pleasure to read and absorb.

“I smile, triumphant. I don't need him any more. Him or his hunk of a cousin. I'm top in Verona, my almost-rapist is expelled, I'm meeting with my biological mother and I'll finally get the approval of my non-biological mother.” - This cracked me up because it sounds so messed up x)
Julian was being a real bitch for a while, despite it being legitimate. This saddens me. I’d like to know why you chose this plot point specifically?

Tyler and Benny are the hottest. That Christmas Special was something else, nyahahaha.
