This is such an adorable story that I just want to hug it. There's mystery, emotion, and a very sweet romance, but there's also a delightful sense of discovery as David explores the city with his kindly grandfather. Above all, there is the building, a wonderful and mysterious place with new sights to capture the imagination around every corner. Geron is in full command of his storytelling powers here, with richly-detailed descriptions, appealing characters, and maybe a nod and a wink to E.L. Konigsburg along the way. My only regret was when it was over. A very rewarding read.

Your stories never fail to put a smile on my face, and this one is no exception. Thank you for sharing your work with us. I can't wait to see what happens next...

Great chapter. I like how Chris is applying his lessons and figuring things out on his own.

I really like how William just rolls with whatever happens. Gay kid? Sure. Dating a 270-year old vampire? Sure. Dead wife was an elf and kid is an elven prince? Yeah, cool. William is the King of Chill Dads.

I really liked this story, and -- as someone whose meat-eating comes only via supermarket or restaurant -- the details of this lifestyle were very interesting and a nice change of pace from the usual settings.

Ha! Great ending. Didn't see that one coming!

Great chapter. I was out on Amy after she drugged him, and it's nice to see her mother not taking her side.

Great chapter. I like the mom character. She just has to know, even if she doesn't want to know. I really hope you're planning to write a scene where she meets Faith.

Your characters are very well-drawn and distinctly written... I just read the first 12 chapters at once, and am eager to see where you are taking the story. Great chapter.

I can't tell you how much I respect you for not having Nate suddenly overcome years of programming in one night of dancing. Stories tend to start writing themselves after a while, and sometimes happy endings just aren't realistically in the cards, regardless of how much readers want them. On the other hand, Greg is Batman, dealing with his past by using his wealth and determination to help kids avoid tragic fates. I fear his own tragic fate will be loneliness and constant yearning for what he can't have, but at least he has another purpose to his life and maybe some hope for the future, regardless of what happens with Nate. Which, of course, I still hope will be positive, but fully understand if it isn't. This is a great story, and I eagerly await the rest.

This chapter was painful and agonizing, but it felt true, and that's the important thing. I've been there myself, and every note was right. Great chapter.

Gosh, but it's dusty in here (wiping eyes). Great chapter, Jason. This story keeps surprising me and making me want more, and the characters continue to deepen and broaden. You have a real gift.

Heartbreaking, and very well told. A superb chapter, Jason.

This has always been, and continues to be, the cutest and most adorable story ever. Can't wait for the next chapter.

The time you spent on this chapter was absolutely well-spent. This was the best chapter yet, and Jordan is really taking shape as a genuine and believable 3D character. Great work!
