I loved every single word. I had such an emotional response to this! I really loved how their story began when they were so young. My heart just broke for poor baby Jared, coming into the diner to be around the one person who showed him love and kindness, and Jensen at first being like a big brother to a little boy who desperately needed one. Their journey into adulthood and love had me captivated. It was also incredibly effective using Jensen's point of view. Everything about Jared's life was pretty much inferred instead of us being spoon-fed the details, and somehow it made it all the more horrifying, because you never knew the extent of the abuse, you could only ever guess at it. But all the clues you gave painted a shockingly desperate picture. And Jensen was just wonderful. Despite his feelings, like Jared said, he always did the right thing for him, even if it wasn't truly what either of them wanted at the time.

It was so beautifully written, I just want to wrap myself up in it like a blanket and roll around in it. Gorgeous.

Ahhh, you have no idea. I stopped reading this comment halfway through to press my phone against my face because I was trying to hide it. That is EXACTLY what I was trying to do with Jensen's POV, and I had such a hard time fighting my own instinct to tell everything I knew. It was the biggest thing I struggled with writing it, so that it read to you this way is just the best possible compliment I could have gotten on this story. THANK YOU. I really wanted to give a sense that Jared was really hiding a lot from Jensen and that things were actually a lot worse than Jensen knew, but that's so hard to do with a close POV. So, yes. Thank you, so much, again. I've always loved stories that don't spoonfeed readers best and I've never been that kind of author--I really wanted to give it a shot with this story. I'm over the moon that it worked for you.

Thanks so much for reading and for this wonderful comment, BB! <333

This has hurt!Jared and hooker!Jared and gentle!Jensen and like so many other things I love I am completely speechless right now.
I am in loooooove.
I was nearly in tears at some points and god I love it when that happens.
I can never leave a coherent comment goddammit, it's just all "I LOVED IT SO MUCH OMG." Which pretty much captures all of my feelings about this fic tbh.
Thank you for writing this, it was so so wonderful. :')

IT HAD CAKE, TOO. I HOPE YOU DIDN'T MIND THAT PART. XD

Eeeeee, Progs, thank you so so much! I'm really happy that this story was emotional for you, and I know you were excited for it, so I'm glad it did not let you down! Thank you so much for reading and for leaving this wonderful comment. ♥

Excuse me contrary to what you seem to think about me, I ACTUALLY LIKE CAKES AND WISH NOTHING BUT THE BEST FOR ALL CAKES EVERYWHERE OK.

But seriously though thank you so much writing and writing for this fandom in particular. You're such a gift for us all.

[cherie_morte]

OKAY SURE. EXCEPT FOR THE ONE YOU PUSHED OFF THE TABLE JUST TO KILL CAKE CLUB.

<33333 I am trapped in this particular fandom for the long haul. So glad that you're enjoying my tormented scribbles. XD

ahh, where do i even start? sometimes i just run across stories that remind me why i love reading fic, they just feel so good and lovely and, THIS FIC WAS IT. i am just so filled with love for fic writers, for this story, FOR YOU. because this felt like coming home, you know, i'm all sentimental because you made me FEEL things, but honestly, it felt like the best of days where i used to just snuggle up with a good fic to read. i don't do that so often anymore, but this was soooo gooood. ah.

you had me at bb hooker!jared, to be honest, but it was so much more. you made me CRY, and smile, and what even is that?! i absolutely adore your writing and okay, i am just a puddle of emotions right now so i should probably stop. but this was just so -- great. the characters, the story, be still my pounding heart. ♥ this was everything and i loved every word.

/tired sentimental dork out

Meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep!!! I wish I could PICK YOU UP AND SWING YOU AROUND, this comment is so so sweet! I'm so happy my story could remind you of the good ol' days and that you enjoyed reading it that much. Eeeee! Thank you for reading and for leaving this comment, because now I am a puddle of feelings, too! :33333

[ayyymamacita]

loved it!!!
every time jared went "i'll be good" i thought i was gonna die. a++ angst
and especially loved the "i need you to stop coming here, jared" part, when jensen can't even be understanding and wanna help anymore, it's just too much for him and he can't take it anymore.

also, AMAZING ART, like jared hair and jensen tummy???? glorious <3

[cherie_morte]

Hehehehe, wasn't the "I'll be good" just terrible of me? I am an awful person. :33333 BUT THE ANGST WAS SO YUMMY I CAN'T HELP MYSELF.

I'm so happy that you enjoyed the story, and thanks so much for reading! I hope you've let the artist know that you enjoyed her work! <3

So as to cover both your AO3 and LJ posts, I'll leave a comment on here, too :)

I LOVED it, I loved your characterisation, how they managed to pull through by helping each other and never give up and how you packed all this in your beautiful words and made this whole story so incredibly powerful. And I had the best evening reading it, obviously :)

Thank you so much for sharing!

[cherie_morte]
