I really like how they fall in love, then out of love, then back in love. I ordinarily don't like when fics do that, but you've made it work :)
While Muggle!AUs ordinarily make me want to die, this had just enough musician!AU hints so I didn't. So thank you.
I like how the Scorbus isn't overly in your face here. It's refreshing after a few other things I've read today...

This slowly broke my heart bit by bit as they struggled to be together. Why would you so this to me, with them breaking up and everything. This love was a forever and you wouldn't let them be happy D:

Excellent plot and characterisation here. Very enjoyable story.

I really loved this!

You really captured their relationship wonderfully - falling in love, falling out of love, and then the friendship (I think) they managed to maintain afterwards. You had just enough of each part of their relationship that it didn't feel like too much or too little.

Albus' outburst when everything started falling apart was particularly striking, because it's so real. The strain of having to worry about everything having taken its toll burning through Albus' last control - it was definitely my favourite part of the story. And Scorpius eventually forgives Albus, and that's just beautiful.

Great job! :)

It is publicly known that I love my Scorbus.
Anyways I LOVED THIS FIC SM OMG I loved the descriptions and everything. I loved how there were sections depicting their relationship and all the angst in between. I never saw Scorpius as the type to go to nightclubs and stuff, but it doesn't matter as I still think it fit him perfectly in this fic. I'm REALLY HOPING they ended up together because my Scorbus ahhh it's not that they don't love each other it's just the situation ! It broke my heart at "they simply have more fun without each other" but the ending was so uplifting ahh this is is the best scorbus I've read in a while it's perfect it's all perfect. Well done!:3

This was wonderful! I absolutely loved each of the scenes depicting various stages in their relationship. It reminded me of all those books/shows where they meet at a bar, he's trying to take off as a musician, they get sucked into a whirlwind romance, tough times follow, but in the end it all works out for the better. But what I loved is that you were able to portray it in such a realistic way. Your descriptions of their emotions were fantastic, and I could really /feel/ their relationship. The fire that burned, slowly spluttering and then dwindling before going off. Then re-igniting into a full-blown, bright flame. The progression of events were great, the pacing was consistent, and except for the bit where Scorpius tears up that kinda confused me, the characterisations were great. This was very well written.

Just FYI: [blonde] refers to a female while [blond] refers to a male.

I loved the style of this, but, I admit I was a bit confused near the end. I'm guessing that they just settled as friends? But, other then that, this was very nicely written and I enjoyed it. I absolutely love Muggle!Aus, and I loved that this had a slight twist to being a Musician!AU as well. Good job on doing Al and Scor as well, I normally don't enjoy NextGen, but you did this great and I loved it! Great job! :D

Wow. This was really powerful.
I love the way you wrote their relationship evolving- at first, it's Albus being gravitated to Scorpius's teasing nature, and then they fall in love...
After the fight, my heart broke for both of them. You wrote the emotion so well, and it just gave me feels.
And then, when they became friends again? It was a beautiful healing process that you wrote.
Just wow.
I don't have any criticism (can't find anything), so incredible job with this oneshot!

Okay I have this secret love for AlbusScorpius that no one really knows about. I sort of half mention it in other fics as a background thing but I never actually write it. I love love love Scorbus and my heart just broke when I realised things were going wrong for them. I just knew in the second segment when Albus was at home alone doing bills. You just knew that the Honeymoon phase of the relationship was over. It felt so brilliantly realistic. You took me on an emotional whirlwind ride and then Scorpius makes it and Albus hears girls sqee-ing over him and it is amazing. But are they together? Are they apart? I'm so confused - I need more. I need them living it large; fighting off reporters; I need it all. Loved this x

I was going to yell at you for breaking my heart but you gave me hope with a cute ending and I'm grinning like mad. I just love the way you write Al and Scor together and this volatile relationship that not really due to them but their situation. I love that it broke them apart but (and I'm choosing to believe in hopeful endings here) it could bring them back together.

It's totally not how I usually view Scorpius, being all showy and flirty, but it still suits him. Your descriptions are beautiful, particularly after Scor walks out. I just love the subtle references to things; the comment about the doorknob; where you chose to start and end each scene.

It's all really beautiful! Well done. :D
