Recs and Reviews
Oh my god. This fic is a must! Another one that I consider canon. It just fits so well with canon and the characterization is spot on and believable OCs that don’t steal the show but actually give some depth and the UST. Just. Perfect. But it’s unfinished! I’ll die before it gets updated but it so worth the read. Once I started reading it I couldn’t stop.[1]
Oh man oh man oh MAN.This series is the best, seriously! Khirsah is amazing!!! This fic is so beautiful and emotional just go read it.[2]
This? Is the most freaking amazing thing I've read for this fandom. I love that it fits with canon even though it's AU; I love how human Teddy and Billy are in this story (neither are perfect, and both are fragile in teenage-boy ways); I love your OCs (I love that Jamie is so chill, Sam uses polite swears, and Clarence's constant snark); I love that you fleshed out how horrible Greg and Kesler are where canon gave them pretty generic 'these are assholes' personalities; I love your lush descriptions; I love everything about this fic.[3]
The characters in this fic are vivid, with realistic teenage fears and pains and insecurities about figuring themselves out. Also, the palpable yearning of a first love![4]
