snuggles to the both of you. i don't have time to read it right now, just wanted to pop in really quick and show love. i know this chapter was difficult but i also know it's probs amazing.

and yes i know with the time i spent writing this i could have read half of it, whatever, i'm procrastinating doing damages at work lol.

[revuko]

lol lady no rush! Work calls! Or rather, procrastinating work does... hmm :/

[oohlala]

i could complain that there is no christmas sex because i harassed you for it for days lol, but i think i needed more fluff in this calm before the storm. do not want tomorrow to come :((( so soft fluffiness was helpful. i really liked how nabby's wall broke down completely in this chapter, i was like, "FINALLY!" and now comes the progress :)

avery isn't a big bad meanie, he is ~*misunderstood*~. and i love him. and i want his misunderstood babies.

[revuko]

LOL of course, he's just a physical lover.

he wondered if he wasn’t afraid of Avery, but rather what could have been.-- I added that for you. So... kinda being nicer to him? Sorta. Ish.

Yay fluffiness! And I told you a thousand times that there wasn't going to be any sex, so I don't know why you're suprised. Disappointed, I can understand (no sex? damn!).

But now I'm inspired to write and it's the most exilerating thing ever :)

*goes off to write Chapter 26*

[revuko]

hahaha! Everything plotted out... yes... that's what I meant >_>
And thank you for your lovely review as always! I'm glad you liked it :)

I did squeak again when I saw this new part posted up. I love this story so much, since it's so heart-breakingly realistic, how Evgeni pushes, clings and almost self-destructs over his misplaced guilt and his secret. It's also beautiful to watch Joe NOT push him away and be there, despite being frustrated over the running to stand still state that he's in with Evgeni.

So totally stoked to see this new part and how it was written. Awesome.

[revuko]

I enjoy it greatly when I make the readers produce sounds of excitment :3 It means that I've done my job, haha! Guh, and I love the way you just described this story. That one sentence makes everything I've done so far worth it <3 And not to mention that we finally got to the turning point, haha! Thank you for sticking with the story up til now, all 25 chapters of it

[konishi_zen]

*laughs* Well yes! This story deserves a few noises of excitement. It's always a good day when I see a new chapter of it up! :D!

Sweet! I'm so glad that you know there are people that appreciate it. Honestly, I started reading this and couldn't tear myself away from it ever since. It's like an old friend you go and spend time with, you know? It's great. Honestly.

I'll stick with it until the end, I can honestly say that. Cheers!

[revuko]

I know of old friends! I'm sure this story feels the same of you!

I hope the end will be a long ways off, and I can't wait to see you there ;)

[revuko]

haha, yesterday?? Then I'll have to forgive you for commenting for the first time today ;) That's a long read! I hope your eyes aren't stinging with all intake of information, that was not my intention, I promise! I'm glad you enjoyed the build up until now, I enjoyed writing it :) And don't worry, you're making perfect sense.

*blush* amazing? Well isn't that something every writer wants to hear! Thank you so much <3

And yay Shark icon! I love me some Milan, I hope we get to keep him :( Ugh! Stupid trading drama. I hope that you can use your icon more often! Updates will be sooner, considering this was the one I was stuck on.

[revuko]

I'm glad :)

And Milan is my czech sweetheart! Though *my* ring finger is waiting for Torrey to slip the ring on it one day ;)

yup! This chapter got me super inspired, so depending on what happens tomorrow, I'll be writing as much as I want!

I'm sort of having a shitty birthday today. :( But this makes it a lot better! I love this story so much! Joe and Evgeni are so adorable and heartbreaking at the same time. I can understand Evgeni's feeling of helplessness and his trouble coming to terms with what happened to him, and I love Joe for being there for him. Write more soon!

[revuko]

Oh no! I'm sorry you're having an unfun birthday :( I'm glad I could make you feel a little better in this little way though! It make me feel ~*~helpful~*~

I'll write more soon for sure!... that is, if Nabby's not traded today, ugh. I don't know what I will do if that happens. Bawl my eyes out probably, haha.
