The progression here is brilliant. There's no one moment or word choice that makes you go "Oh!" with sudden realization. That's so tough, and you manage it with such deftness, it's amazing. The overall feeling of this, damn. Somehow dark and nonchalant at the same time. The idea that Nate's face was fashioned specifically with idealistic eyes and a generous mouth--this is the little nugget that pleases me the most, the one that above all the rest could surely be true.

I was in love with the very idea of this story from the moment you told it to me. What you came up with exceeded even my ridiculous expectations ♥

I'm glad it looks like this because when I was writing I spent most of my time being all, "HRHGHS WHAT AM I DOING? oh lol pun about hell hehehehe."

His face is too good to be true, yo. Way too good.

Thank you so much for your help, bb. <345666

Oh my god, this gave me chills. I swear to got, actual literal chills! What a superbly written story, so haunting. This gives a whole new idea to canon-Nate having a core of steel, and the fact that you manage to translate Nate in to this verse and staying in character is so amazing. It's interesting to see that Nate has a human reaction to Brad's affections. Soooo goood!!

This is such a cool reaction! It's exactly what I hope to get.

Wow, this was disturbing and chilling in the best possible way. I loved how the tone and style fit perfectly with the story , Nate's POV was fascinating and the way you used canon was great.

Very interesting twist on the sweet and pure Nate we've sort of developed in fanon. I like it what that happens!

Sullying St. Nate is sort of why I wrote Oblivion! LOL!

You're very subtle at revealing Nate's true nature and I applaud that. Also, he's straddling a bit of a line it seems he's never been tempted to straddle before.

Nice and dark and edgy and I enjoyed!

I think Nate's a lot harder than people give him credit for. Maybe not Satan hard, but, you know...

Oh I agree. My Nate (my personal fanon) has a core of steel. He just isn't obvious about it.
