Notes: This is the first Generation Kill story I've written in a couple of years that didn't owe it's existence to a challenge, and for that I thank

Aww. You know, I've read only a fraction of your fic because I'm just not in a vast majority of your fandoms and I'm always afraid I won't know what's going on, or I'll be missing something, or... whatever. But of everything I've read, I have to tell you: you write these two best. Like...

He couldn't fight Brad's battles for him. That had been a hard lesson to learn, and one he was still in the process of understanding fully.

This. This feels so truthful, I could cry.

And this story was just lovely. Thank you :)

Em, you are, like, there are no words. Thank you. I have the most goofy smile on my face. I love, love writing Brad and Nate, but I was really nervous about this story, because it was the first time in several years that I'd sat down to write them without a challenge in mind. It thrills me to know it worked so well for you. <33

Lovely. I wish it were longer, but this was poignant and beautiful.

You write the best Brad and Nate. And this was so intense and heartbreaking and filled with meaning and emotion. Wonderful.

Gorgeous story, great dynamic between them and I love love loved this:

Brad bucked against the hold Nate had on him,

For all that it says. Beautiful work.

Thank you so much! And wow, I didn't even see that in the line until you pointed it out. Thanks for that. :)
