Ooohhh my... That was Gorgeous! I am SO glad you shared it, because there's always room for a new take on the first time, and this was deliciously nuanced and gritty with all the complications of Gene's difficult psyche!

I am always fond of top!Sam, and I love him being all confident and knowledgeable here, in counterpoint to Gene's helpless fears.

Bless him, Gene's a tortured soul at the best of times. And top!Sam is so much fun to write...

Thank you so much for your lovely comment, I'm glowing from the warm welcome I've received from the comm. (And btw, your picture is brilliant, I laughed so hard when I read it.)

Awwwwww, this is brilliant! I loved the backstory you put into it, and I adored Gene's mum coming over to help Gene tidy after his wife left <3 It's the little details like that I really enjoyed <333

Thanks for posting it! :D

Wow, killer last line!

I really like this - I'm too tired to comment sensibly, but I just wanted to welcome a new writer and say Yup, you seem to have got the hang of it all right!

Thank you so much!

Wow, this is excellent! I love it! I love the history you've written for Gene, and how "unnatural" keeps creeping into his thoughts right up to that final, brilliant line.

I'm glad the final line went down well, I wasn't that sure about it :) Glad you liked, and thanks hugely for commenting!
