it's true that i have a soft spot for joncer and this, well, this was just fantastic. I love the way you introduced the scenery and the whole situation. It was surprising to see that Brendon was the 'new' character to appear first, instead of Spencer. I'm glad you took your time to develop the relationship and the whole meeting and stuff. though maybe there should've been a little bit more 'getting to know each other' before the first kiss. it was slightly desconcerting, spencer had only spoken to him a couple of times and now his world was falling to pieces at the prospect of jon leaving. but it wasn't such a huge deal, so.

about jon...i like the way you described how conflicted he felt. it's very simple and yet, very complicated at the same time. he has a nice personality and. beh, i just like his character. there's not much to be said. he's beyond awesome.

and back to brendon. just. wow. i actually had to use my brain while reading this, with all his proverbs and stuff. i kind of wanted to kick him from time to time, but that's ( ... )

wow just wow, this was magnificent, I absolutely loved it. You are an amazing author, Mystery Writer. I'm so glad for your work of amazingness to be on our team. The way you wrote this was so vivid I felt like I was there, as one of the people at the bar watching the whole thing. The ending was super cute (may I mention Joncer is my OTP?) So yes, like I said I loved this, but I love it so much I don't think I have a proper way to show it. Just know I really loved this piece of art. :]

Go Team Jon!! <33

Seriously, this story was amazingly breathtaking. So layered and interesting, every character holding their own unique storyline and quirks. I loved it so much.

My favorite part most definitely had to be how Brendon spoke in parables. It was so mysterious yet telling at the same time into his character. Ones that particularly stood out were:“Stories can be rewritten.”Ryan looks up sharply as Brendon speaks again. “Well, do you have a pen?” where I just about broke my face smiling because it was right then that I knew their paths would cross again and again.
“I was a frog in well shaft seeing the sky.” Jon thinks he understands that and sighs. He hasn’t seen the sky in a while. “So I jumped and I reached it.” This one was just so beautiful and I think that it completely encapsulates what the story was about (or at least what I got out of it). Big fish, small pond. Reaching for the dreams. Shooting for the moon because even if you miss you land amongst the stars ( ... )
