Boom! What a start and now I'm sad I put this off for so long. The summary gave me the heebie jeebies, and I made some assumptions. Which, of course, couldn't be further from the truth. What's really interesting is that I think you are addressing a deeply hidden segment of society. I can't wait to see where this goes.
the beginning of this, nathan and drew- oh my goodness. just from the very beginning, i love your descriptions- laughing eyes and breathless voice. and then the night- the imagery so sharp you can feel the chill and hear the twigs crack. and the boys- so desperate, so desperately sad, so caught up in each other and struggling and scared and helpless and longing for what they could never have at that time. just from those few short paragraphs, you drew such a poignant picture of how very deeply they felt about each other. and then drew's death, oh my. it's like a sucker punch

Such a different time in the 80’s, and you took us there. The fear that followed Nathan and Drew wherever they went. It was sad, it was thought provoking and it made me glad that I didn’t ever have to live with that fear. It was a great concept for Blaine’s father to be the way he was and why he couldn’t totally accept Blaine the way he was. I’ve spent half the day reading this, I couldn’t stop, and I have to admit I sobbed my way through the second half of part 4. I hope you are proud of this well written, beautiful story.
