I just wanted to leave a review :) hehehe
Andy's relationship with his step-father was the best fictional one I've ever read. I mean, I'm always reading about the whole abusive / alcoholic parents, and I'm so sick of the cliché, so that relationship was lovely.

I think I've had a concussion before. I hit my head on a telephone pole when I was sledding. I can't really remember it...I'm sure I was a little loopy.

The "rumor" about Queen Elizabeth being killed by her make-up is probably partly true. Elizabeth got smallpox when she was younger and never was able to get rid of the pocmarks (giant pits in her face). The make-up then did use a deadly combination of lead and arsenic. However although the doctors at the time may have been oblivious to the affects of lead, they certainly knew about arsenic. It has been used since ancient times as a powerful assassination drug; some even say that arsenic is what killed Pope Alexander VI and nearly killed his son (Cesare) as well.

This was intense. And very wonderful. It made me think. I loved the complicated and some what craziness of peters thoughts. I loved that I wanted to slap Peter in the face and scream at him to open his eyes. This story made me feel something and that's an incredible thing to accomplish as an author. This is totally publishable. You're amazing.

Wow. You have some very heartfelt quotes in here. I don't know if you came up with all of them yourself or if you were inspired, but I really appreciated the deeper meaning behind them. I think it's priceless that you incorporated those pieces into the story to bring a richness to it and the characters: especially Peter in showing that he's capable of complex thought. It's always really rewarding and amazing to find a story like this that brings realism to the reader beyond a physical sense in descriptions of places, times and character interactions. You can't being to understand how impressed I am with this.
Besides all that, I wanted to mention how easy this was to read. A lot of the time, with multi-chaptered stories like this, I get bored a third of the way through and skip to a couple chapters before the end so I can get the resolution without having to suffer through all the ridiculous melodrama in between. The last chapter number I looked at was six and only to determine how many were left before the story was over. I applaud your ability to make it flow so smoothly and seamlessly that I couldn't even tell that it was over before it was.
I really liked the resolution as well, especially with sorting out the Sam kink. The only lamentation I have over it was that it came so late in the story, even though it was so early in their overall relationship. But bygones will be bygones, right? I can't begrudge you for that, haha. Besides, it's just my view as a reader with the mindset that, had I been the character, I would have addressed it earlier on in the plot. Whatever, I guess.
Finally, I want to mention your conclusion. I really appreciated this, maybe even the most out of the entire story. To be able to wrap it up so neatly with the beginning, like planning for just the right amount of wool for a project and then being able to finish the last stitch perfectly in order to use up the entire ball. Good job with that. And the lesson unfolded within that conclusion... just amazing. "And they live" is probably one the things I most appreciate about life, because, unlike Disney movies, you never can tell what's going to happen in the future, which is the great beauty and ugliness of it. There is no future until it happens, so what guarantee is there that a couple will live happily ever after? It's more of a resolution, in my opinion. I'm really glad you did that. So, there you have it. My most sincere and heartfelt gratitude for having the privilege to read this story.
Thanks for the read,
