Wonderful!

This is so fabulous. (I rarely read present tense stories. They are hard to get right. Often sound off or strained--this is perfect.)

So gorgeous. Doesn't hurt that I have a thing for Jon's mouth and also been dying to read more Robb/Jon fics.

Thank you so much for sharing.

Oh, thank you. I struggled with the present tense like there was no tomorrow so it is a huge weight off my shoulders to hear that people say it reads easily *wipes sweat off brow*

Yes, Jon's mouth is so damn... well, it is always open (he is a mouth breather) which kinda bugs me, but the mouth itself is stunning. Lol. And Robb/Jon just has a way of getting into your head, doesn't it.

Cheers, and thank you for taking the time to comment.

I could watch that gif forever and ever... Jon cracking up is just win. He should laugh more.
And thank you. I guess it is back to plot brain storming now.

I didn't even realise the story was in present tense until you pointed it out at the end. It all flowed so nicely, I could feel Robb's distraction unfolding right in front of me. So beautiful. My heart was in my throat along with Robb wondering if Jon would return his feelings. There was one line in particular that struck me about Jon being desperate for attention that perfectly characterized him and even if the story wasn't told through his perspective I could feel his loneliness through Robb. Loved the italicized lines too. It gave the piece a poetic rhythm. I'm definitely favouriting this!

Oh, that is good! That is what I wanted to hear. Present tense is my arch enemy; I both love it and hate it, depending on the writer, but this is the first time I tried it myself. The fact that you didn't notice and yet could see gets glimpses of Jon's thoughts through Robb's dictates that I shall take this as a massive win... and get myself another cup of coffee ;)

Jon being desperate for attention is just hella hot in its own right, isn't it. Nom nom nom.

Thank you for reading and taking the time to share your thoughts. As said, comments feed me, but reviews keep me sane. ;)
