I don't know how I managed to skip over this. Ugh my heart! I love this so much! Thank your for sharing!

Ugh that just killed my feelings. That was a really good story and you made me cry. Good job dang.

It's a cute story. I like the imperfect but still functional relationship they have. I would have liked to have seen Kaiba and Alex develop some sort of acknowledgement for each other, but other than that I thought you did a good job filling in the blanks at the end. It's a common plot, but you handled it well.

Thanks for posting!

I know I've already reviewed this story a while ago, but I just re-read it tonight. (Make that this morning. It's 4:31 AM...) I just wanted to say thank you for the story. This is literally the ONLY Seto/Joey fanfic I've come across that handles their relationship in a believable way. It's also always refreshing when I don't have to deal with the same-old boring fanfic cliches and it was SO nice that neither guy turned into an insufferable uke at the mention of a relationship. I loved how you portrayed Joey's anxiety at entering into a homosexual relationship. Most writers tend to think straight guys just automatically love the dick in fanfic land...

All in all, Alex was a lovely touch, and Joey and Seto's more mature personalities really worked; it all made sense.

But more than that... You know when you read a really good story, and you get butterflies in the pit of your stomach? That happened to me every time Seto and Joey interacted romantically in your story, and that hasn't happened in a long, long time. I usually skim fanfics because the dialog and scenarios seem awkward or forced, but not with this story. I got nervous with Joey. I got impatient along with Seto. It made me remember how scary and exhilarating it is when you first fall in love and you're not sure how the other person feels. Their scrabble game- god, my heart was beating so fast during that scene!

This story gives me hope for fanfics. I thought I was getting too old to read them, but as long as I can still find gems like this one, I'll be happy.

Thanks again, and I know I'll be re-reading this again in the future. :)

Lovely story! Read this some years ago, and now again in one go, haha. Love the ups and downs they have, they make it such an interesting read. And the other characters as well. :3 Loved Bakura's role in their whole mess, lol.

Don't worry. I wasn't bored with this at all. I beleive this is a great way to start out a story.

I'm totally aware that I'm a latecomer onto this uber successful bandwagon. But let me give you just one word to sum up all 24 chapters: WOW.

That was crazy good. Every single part, the relationship, the characters, the plot, just how REAL everything was. Reality is extremely hard to balance with idealism, and I give you complete kudos to three facts:

Fact one. Joey wasn't originally gay. I find it wonderful beyond words that you are realistic enough to address that, because NO FIC I HAVE EVER READ HAS DONE THAT. Ever. Sexuality is almost ALWAYS, ALWAYS taken for granted; either the characters are both gay, or if not, they conveniently discover it along the way, no eyebrows raised or issues aroused.

Fact two. Alex. The fact that Joey has a kid? Awesome. I must say, I wouldn't have minded at all if Joey's kid were a major conflict in their relationship-I actually expected it. You handled it well, but I was amazed the fact that he was a dad could be that unobtrusive! Could be the age ;)

Fact three. The breakup. Once again, the most realistic part of this entire genius work. It didn't work out. It was hard, they fought, they were in denial, worked in spirals, were a wreck, and fought some more. That was great. I find the most miraculous feat (surprisingly) not the fact of them getting together, but of them making up. It's not easy going back, and it's frustrating waiting on a relationship, as you portrayed.

I could wax poetic even more than I already have, but quite simply, this was as close as I've come in a long time to a perfect story. I admit to having difficulties finding the unedited versions of chapters 15-16; the site was being difficult and deleted massive portions of your link, and I couldn't find it on Domestic Chaos or Mediaminer. If you could reply with the link, I'd be very much obliged (:

Again, great work.

loved it

very well done

oh hell no, i finish this story. No freaken way. I just love. I knew it going to be oh hella great story. I so glad that I add to my favorite list. I mean bookmark it if you don't mind. well, to be honest it a little bit to late because I already book mark it from chapter one. hahahahaha I glad that I didn't encounter this story when I got into these two couple because if I did I would have kill someone right now. Thank you so much for completing this story.

Honestly, you should really write a book or something. You are very talent. I love the choices of words you use in the story and the storyline. The best part of the whole story is their personally of everyone in the story. You kept it real. I still want to see more drama in this story. I was piss to know this is the end. Oh well, I gonna read it again and read your other story of these two lover. Is more like you, just got yourself a stalker here. hehehe

Best luck you. Keep up the great work.

I getting close to end the story. I must say Joey really pissing me off. Damm it. I just want to hit him or something. More like I want more drama here. I kind figure what gonna happen. I am a little sad that I almost to the end of the story. Damm it. I hate you. I really hate you. Why am I doing up reading this? I almost past out this morning when I went to work and I think I gonna do it again. Damm it. You so good. You really should write a book or something. I will be your first fan or one of them. Damm you.

I just start reading the story. Is different. I like it. Oh men, you gonna kill me. I going to be so tire when I go to work tomorrow.

This is one of the best stories I've ever read. I wished I could read the undited version though, because it felt there was missing bit in it.

I just ended this story, aswell, and Im glad i took the time. Its really nice to have them being mitlife for a change. I wish I had more words now, but Im really really tired. Ill just keep on reading and at the end of the next story, you will hear from me again ;).

Its really cool that you write fanfiction, and I wondered, with the standard that you have, do you write books aswell?

I had this: :[ Face on the whole time while reading the arguing part. *sigh* I will never make it as a divorce lawyer. thank god I am not aiming for that field.
