I was going to review that this is one of the best fan fics I've ever read, in any fandom, in the 10 or so years I've been reading fan fic, but then I decided that would be an understatement. This is actually, legitimately, the single best piece of fan fic I've ever read. When it was over I had that same happy, satisfied feeling I get upon finishing a brilliantly plotted and exceptionally engaging novel. I just loved this story. Thank you so much for writing it.

So enjoyed this!

SO FREAKING GOOD. YOU ARE A WIZARD.

THEY ARE SO IN LOVE. *_*

JACK HAS SCHEMES. *_* I LOVE SCHEMES.

I wish Sarah was real so I could fistbump her. :D

Finally reading this (P.S. I am the worst) and oh God, Jack and David are so in love it makes my chest hurt. 3333333

I have no idea what and/or who the Newsies and all those people are. I just sort of stumbled across your story, but it drew me in immediately and I couldnt put it down, so to speak.

I cant tell you if your characters are OC, but I can tell you that they are very much alive and real, and lovable, for all their flaws and quirks.

I find your story wonderfully written in style and in atmosphere, and I find it very touching and funny.

I truly enjoyed reading it, so thank you very much!

wow... that was so good! you have to be one of the most talented of writers! and i read take care of the poor boy a bit ago, so then i saw this was up here and it took me a bit but i rented guys and dolls just so i could read this. bravo.

I can never look at Blink in the same way again...but in a good way. :) This story totally rocks and took me 2 days to read.

I went and reread this whole thing since it’d been so long and I’m afraid I’m really a bit speechless. The reconciliations we see in this story are so beautifully pieced together and constructed that I feel as though I were sitting in David’s (or Blink’s, really) head the whole time. It’s so sweet (and bittersweet). Sarah was wonderful, Nick was adorable and Jack was just as flawed as he should have been. I think it’s so fantastic that Our Hero is such a flawed character. It makes him so interesting to mess around with, even if it does cause the supporting characters so much pain.

A triumph, B! A serious victory. I cannot wait to see more from you.

Oh, this is perfect. Perfect! Jack's hat falling off, whispering about not being able to kiss Dave...so perfect. SO perfect. And yay, California!

The best element of this story overall is David's characterisation. (Don't get me wrong, Adelaide!Blink is my FAVORITE THING EVER and he and Billy really do need a playdate, but anyway...) He is spot-on throughout the whole story from start to end-I don't think I've ever really seen a better David. He's perfectly original canon David. I could hear David Moscow saying all of this, every single bit of dialogue. Heck...in the scenes where he's pondering to himself, I can hear him ponder. He's perfect. You're so good at capturing the essence of the characters, you deserve to be gushed over all the time.

I really REALLY am looking forward to any little future fics we might get. Because seriously...YAY EX-NEWSIES IN CALIFORNIA!

I love, love, LOVE this story.

Ah, I absolutely love this story. It's just so romantic! And your writing is impeccable. Great, great job.

a i loved it!

alskdnalksnlkn So cute. T.T Oh, Jackie boy.
