I really liked this. The Tomrad incident is one of those little things that I keep wondering about and I liked your take on it.
Also, the "outside" perspective on the panic boys was pretty cool.

I'm glad you liked it. It was huge departure for me, so it's reassuring that it turned out well. The Tom getting kicked out incident was something that's been on my mind for awhile, pretty well since it happened.

I was scared for awhile there, but yesyesyes. Wonderful. Definitely worth staying up late for.

Yeah, I'm much more a fan of the chase than the actual relationship, so that tends to be what I write about.

this was... awesome, for starters. i really like the way you wrote tom, because let me tell you, when i first saw the pairing, i was extremely skeptical that it would work, but it totally did fantastically.

also, the snarky banter between jon and tom was absolute win.

This is my very secret OTP. I like to throw hints of it into most stories that I write.

This Tom for me was a really, really hard individual to write because when you have to think like him, it's scary. That's part of the reason it took me so long to finish, I couldn't stay in his mindset for very long or I'd start to get depressed.

Thank you! I hate writing dialogue. It's the bane of my existence.

I really enjoyed this, I always love reading tom-centric fic and this feels a lot different from any I've read in the past (and I definitely mean that in a good way!)

Ah! What a nice thing to say! Tom is such an underdeveloped character in my opinion and that's why I really wanted to put it from Tom's point of view, though I think Spencer's would be equally interesting.

This felt very... different. All the fics involving old school Tai, and old school Panic with all the drama that went down with Tom and Tai parting their ways... they always have the same feel. idk how to explain it. and even though this still has that same pace and mood that it's impossible to escape when it comes to a fic about this subject, it's very different. You took a different outake in what happened between them. Everyone knows kinda what happened but no one but them knows what happened for sure, so it's cool to read a fic with another take on the events. I really liked this. I really did. Tom and Mike and Bill, all of this dudes were doomed, cursed from the start, it's like there wasn't really a chance to amke things work, nothing but fool's hope. idk.
Jon was hilarious and very down to earth. and he sure was enthusiastic about his dick. Spencer is one wise kid. i loved him.
You did a good job.

This was a really well thought out comment, thank you. This is subject matter that's been covered a hundred times before from every point of view possible, but I wanted to at least try to put a different spin on it. I'm glad that you enjoyed it and that you liked Jon/Jon's Dick as the actual main pairing of the story.
