It's been a long time since I've actively bothered to comment on fic writing, but this made me feel it was wholly necessary. I wanted to thank you from the bottom of my heart, because as far as I can tell, good quality writing is thin on the ground for this pairing in this fandom, and it's so refreshing and rewarding to finally find some.
And also, you've absolutely nailed everything that's important for good fic: there's no needless and jarring repetition, none of the clichéd 'pet names' (cause I have read the words Straight Edge Superstar WAY more times than can ever have been necessary), your characterisation's spot-on and believable, and you've made their interest in each other convincing without having to make them into guys in skirts/girls with dicks and I really appreciate that. Plus you managed to capture the fantastically taut tension that's there in all of these guys' physical and verbal interactions, and spin it into something wonderfully subtle, realistic and exciting. Fan-bloody-tastic !
Please please, any more where this came from will be eagerly lapped up and tbh I think a talent like yours kinda owes itself to such a starving pairing ! (I will stop guilt tripping you now, but I will be keeping an eye out for updates) ;) Once again, very, very well done, fantastic work, thank you so much for sharing !
