OMG, I cannot believe no one has commented on this yet! I bookmarked this on my delicious account. I always love everything you write, I'm just a lazy commenter, sorry. :(
I love that you took such a rare-pairing, put in an AU setting and in my opinion made it extremely believable! Too often, Keltie's made to look like a whiny bitch and Tom's made to look gruff and surly 24/7. You gave them 3-dimensional personalities, I love that. Great job! ♥
thank you! i always liked tom/keltie, just never got around to writing it out. looking on delicious, it seems like i'm the only one who does write it although i'm sure that's not true. i love surly!Tom, but he has a soft side too :D
ooh, lovely. <3 I read this after I read the prequel, and I'm glad I knew Spencer and Jon's story before reading this because it seems so complete. Once again, you're awesome (and I feel like such a stalker 'cause I'm always commenting your stories :S).
Sorry it took me so long to finish this and get around to commenting. :(
I love what you did with Ryan, making him just a terrible boyfriend instead of a terrible person. That didn't stop me from being irritated with him for being so ignorant, but I love him just the same.
Tom made me exceptionally happy in this. Not entirely sure just what it was about him, but I loved his characterization. Especially the whole starving artist aspect. I love Tomrad's photos, but it was nice to think that it really doesn't come all that easy and that not everyone loves them.
Yeah, I don't know where I was going with this, but I wanted to say more than just "Oh hey. Super job." ♥
Yes, Ryan was hard here, because at the time I was busy being really annoyed with him, so it was hard not to make him a coke addict or something easy like that.
Tom the struggling artist. yes. i imagine living in New York is not all it's cracked up to be, and I somehow doubt that photographers make that much :] i'm glad you liked!

Tom's voice came through very well here and I could see his growing affection for Keltie.
Kudos to not making Ryan the bad guy, just not a great boyfriend :)
The Jon and Spencer background relationship was perfect in this and it made me question how they met in this universe.
Loved how Tom got his act together on his own and then got together with Keltie.
This fic may end up being criminally under-read but I did really enjoy it, and you really sold the relationship.
At first I thought when Keltie joked about Tom not recognizing him she was going to have darker hair.

yes, it will probably be vastly underread due to the pairing, but i'm still glad I wrote it :]
