yknow, I read the first one waaaaay back when it was still freshly posted, loved it, put it in my rec list, forgot about it until two days ago when I checked over my list for another fic, rediscovered it, basically inhaled it, found to my joy that you had actually written this as a sequel and inhaled this one too. both a damn delight to read!
absolutely adore! love how you write them boys and their relationship woes, they feel so human. I especially enjoyed the difference in how Kellan is shown in the first one compared to this. it's still very much the same person, but viewed through a different lense and that's just *chef's kiss*. And Nate and his Struggle. I just wanted someone to hug the poor boy. thankfully, someone did!
now, if you excuse me, I'm gonna do my best to forget all about it just so that I can rediscover these stories in another decade and experience the same joy once more.

I reviewed this back in 2012 when it was first posted... I had to come back and review again because I’ve read it multiple times over time he years. It’s so rare that a story resonates with you so much that you don’t forget it over 8 years (!). I hope you know what an impact your work had, and that you’re doing well ️

This is just incredible. I LOVE THIS SO MUCH. Kelaan and Will can go die, but that's beside the point. You write emotion like nothing I've ever seen. It's so fresh. Nate feels real in every interaction. Thank you very much for this.

I stopped reading when Kellan kissed Nate. A while later I picked up where I had left off and am glad that I did. Nate deserves to be happy, and needed to learn that love demands risk, personal and heart-breaking risk. Great story.

Nate is such an endearing character, you can't help but fall in love with him. For a while there it really broke your heart how his supposed beat friend of 18 years just up and ditched him because he got a boyfriend, but I've never been so genuinely happy for a fictional character getting his happy ending the way I am for Nate. Loved this story!

Can't get over how much I love Quintin and Nate together. They just fit with each other, I don't know your fic just left me feeling so warm cause I really couldn't enjoy the original because it seemed like Kellan never really gave Nate a fair chance, and at the beginning of this you really feel gutted for Nate and how hung up he still is about his relationship with Kellan, but then the way you had him get past all that shit was really natural and it progressed so smoothly felt like we were really there on Nate's rehab journey.

Ugh I really can't stand Will and Gloria in whatever small capacity. And kinda hate Kelln when he's around them or talking about them too. I'm so glad Nate got over his thing with Kellan and everything worked pit with him and his dad!

Honestly I loved this story way more than the first. Nate's just a more likeable character, the whole time I was reading your amnesiac fic I kept getting frustrated with Kellan cause he was just so SELFISH, but I'm really happy Nate got his happy ending which in a lot of ways seems much more satisfying than what Kellan ended up having with Will or what Nate would have had with Kellan. Good on you for making Nate so relatable!

That was good. I'm happy our little Nate got over himself and that his dad changed. I agree what they're doing is crazy but cute nonetheless. Could not believe the kellan and nate scene but am so glad it stopped. I still also don't appreciate the camellia and Quin scene. I honestly don't feel his reasoning was valid either.

So many feels. OMG I want to burst into tears from sheer happiness and hope and pure adoration for these boys. AND I hope the situation with Kellan and Will is fixed!

Ok. I am normally horrible and don't review but I absolutely loved this story. I like side effects too but honestly I really really loved this one. Also Drunk Text is amazing as well. Basically your writing is awesome.

reading this is like comfort food for me. i reread it every once in a while when i'm feeling sad, because it suits my depressing mood, but also makes me fee because if nate can make it and get a guy like quentin, we all can.

I love your writing style. It is complex and yet simple enough to read quickly. This was a great story; it had a great balance of detail without boring the reader, and the characters are likeable. Thanks for posting, it was a very enjoyable read!
