1. jon walker uses the word lad. for some reason, this makes me unspeakably happy.
2. brendon wears a cardigan
3. there is a happy ending

now, the thing is, reason 4 is actually kind of awesome, because, for whatever reason, lately i've just become desensitized to stuff. maybe because after 5.5 years you kind of become immune. anyway, this is the first story i've read in a while where i was really affected by the sex. i think it's because you do such a good job of capturing the atmosphere of the situation, which you mostly accomplish by getting inside your characters' heads so well. it's little lines like Spencer needs to roll away, he needs to have stopped this five minutes ago, but he lets Brendon pull their bodies together, line their hips up that convey how helpless he is to stop what's going on.
anyway, there are more good things i could say, but i'm honestly a bit too lazy right now. in terms of concrit, there isn't much i can give you except to say that you could benefit from proofreading. there weren't any huge mistakes, but, as i'm sure my icon implies, i'm a stickler for grammar, and you had a few tense changes and mixed up words. nothing major, certainly nothing big enough to put me off reading it, but if you want to polish this at all for whatever reason, you should definitely proofread.

Umm, I don't really know what to say except that I did proofread it several times, and I had two different betas look it over as well. Sorry if there were still mistakes, but yeah. There was definitely already an attempt at proofreading that occurred.
Thanks for reading.
