Seven days into the new house I’ve found out I did not speak the local language perfectly at all. Of course I had to go and believe that shining website that told me with capital letters I would learn a new language in thirty days by downloading an app. Moving into another country looked easier on other people’s social network profiles. The current result of my adventure – a sabbatical semester spent the farthest away from home I ever been – could be summarized by the list sitting on

Imaginary stories of a half-fantastic Me.

Very much agreed! The thing is that we are not taught how to deal with our emotions - specially for men. It's not something addressed as we grow up. We don't learn to cope, and even to learn from our emotions. CraftingMom has been showing us very well how not finding productive ways of dealing with feelings (like fear, shame, sadness, hummiliation on these characters' case) can mess people up.

Maybe I should relax and say whatever comes to mind too

I've been following this story quite closely so far and haven't left comments on every chapter just because I didn't feel like I had something awesomely constructive to say. This POV switch made me think of something though XD. It is impressive how you're able to change the who voice of the narrative to match Bailey's perception of the facts. Even though we've seen the same scene it felt so different, and not just by what was being told but moustly by how it was told. Your writing shifted perfectly from the outwards perspective from Declan to this insightful and quiet view from Bailey and it blew me away! I've read so many stories with alternating POVs and found myself wondering which character I was reading from time to time. I figure it must be really difficult to perform such change smoothly and, well, you did it beautifully Also, I suppose I should point out the amazing character building. Even though Declan may feel like a little bit of an ass, his actions are really understandable and feel genuine - so it kept me pretty engaged. But I feel I'm going to like Bailey's side of things even more haha See you next chapter

Just stopping by to say this story looks so good and I'm already hooked. Can't wait for Declan to see how harder gymnastics is

So... you basically took the "gay for you" thrope and twisted it inside out. Awesome! I wonder if we will hear again from Mike... I think his love for Corbin is quite cute

Did I ever say that I love you character building? Cause I do, really. It's like watching those amazing speed paint videos making realistic pictures from scratch, but with words.

Damn, I think Mike turned out to be sorta sweet. It's cute how many boundaries he is breaking to be with Corbin. I'm kind of rooting for him now. So sad Corbin is sort of breaking his heart (maybe Mike has fallen harder than he says).

Woa, here comes the end. It's been a pleasant and inspiring ride! This final chapter has wrapped everything up beautifully. And I am happy that you are working on a sequel. I can imagine the amount of work it takes to build a well written story, and the required time being not so little, but I bet the wait is gonna be worth it Thanks for sharing this awesome story (and for the good news about the sequel!)

YEAH! I've already read a lot of your stories and I love your writing. I'm so excited that this one is about werewolves! Nice start, cool characters... bring it on!

When I read the title of this story I just smiled and jumped into it. The fact I really like the Dresden Dolls song already got me and you managed to make justice to my expectations Such a lovely story! It made me remember a german movie called Romeos, which has a similar plot involving a transgender girl and a boy (also pretty good).

Hey Sasha, It was nice to follow the story until its end. Bay's development was really good, and it was nice the way that the present and the flashbacks were intertwined, it kinda showed Bay little by little, It almost felt like we were understanding him and his issues at the same time he was doing it! By the end it was nice see things sort themselves out, but I kinda missed some closure of Bay with his past, friends etc. Are those stories on your anthology related to that? anyway, i is a great story, thanks for sharing

Hey! I'm here to say I really like this story. Great main character (he is interesting, with the struggles with his identity and all). The plot is so light yet thrilling. It is the kind of story I'd like to see in a movie. And I really like the chapters being small, but the updates quick. The size of the chapters even create a fast pace to the story, without giving up too much. Nice job

Hey! This update came faster than usual, you made me really happy For me, this small flashback was no surprise. I was already expecting Jeremy to have done something like telling Sam he was suspicious of a relationship between Matt and Lucca. Yet it was interesting to see it from Sam's point of view. I just want to see how this mess is going to turn up! Hope I see you again that soon again

well, you've set a very interesting start for this one. Wanna see where it's going for sure!

You take so long to update, but its really worth the wait ( probably I've said this before lol). You really got the hang of making such captivating characters and making the plot mesmerizing yet light and simple. I love the way you write. It is really cute how Lucca is slowly falling in love with Sam, and how it makes him better. And oh the complications on the way... I hope I see you again soon over here

I've read until this point and i got to say that you really nailed the teenage spirit! I mean, teenagers are really confused and messy and you portrayed it really well very nice

Now things start to get ugly, as always felt it would =/ Cant it end well?

Ow this story was really sweet! I loved it!

I think this is the third time I've read this story, and finaly I felt like I should leave a review. As I've seen in other of your stories, the characters, oh how I love the way you make them so true. The details are magic, everything clicks. And that hint that maybe his father don't care just about apearences after all (or maybe is just an optimistic me seeing it) is nice. congrats for this good work

You're such a tease! You put a small taste of Tanner Gibby interaction just to make a phone ring. I want more! xD And seems like Tanner is really into Gibby uh? xD Nice chapter KC, see ya next monday.

You take long to post updates of this story. But when a new chapter comes, It makes the wait REALLY worth! I can't help to falling in love with your characters, they're all very well constructed and I look forward to see wat comes next! nice work!

I just love all this teenage mess! xD Can't wait to see how Gibby is going to get mixed up on it. It may be just a stupid guess, but the more I read, more Tanner and Gibby appear to have complementar personalities, dunno. They seem opposites in some aspects, but it feels like one's weaknesses are the other strenghts xD. Maybe they can make a good team. See ya next chapter

I can't get enough of this story! Very well built characters and an interesting plot seems to be comming up.... see ya next chapter!
