Wow this is just beautiful :)

[nitro26]

Aw, thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it. :)

Thank you so much! I really tried hard to work in the things that I felt were the most pivotal aspects of Nathan's character in here, and I feel like that one line (I don't know who I am without you) sums him up so well, more so than anything else he's ever said or done or admitted to. There's so much of him that's characterized and molded by Peter and the influence that he has on Nathan.

Thanks again for the lovely feedback. So glad you enjoyed it. :)

Was rec'd to this fic by aidennestorm. Glad I clicked the link!

Absolutely amazing. Loved this part:

"The way Mom slides his jacket on over his shoulders like chain mail, a soldier leaving for war (can you be the one we need?)."

So few words with multiple layers; I feel like I'd need string theory to properly explain what that line conveyed.

Fantastic fic. Definitely going in my memories.

Oh, that's so nice of her; I'm honored. :)

I'm really glad you liked that line and that you felt the fic properly conveyed all the layers and strings attached to Nathan's character. Thank you so much for your kind feedback. :)

[jackvelvet]

Of course! You deserve the recognition. :) (chibiariane also seconded her rec - you've got fans!)

[nitro26]

Aww, you guys are all so wonderful. Thank you so much. :)

Oh, thank you so much. Nathan is such a difficult character and everyone seems to have different perspectives when it comes to him, so I'm really glad that you liked it and thought he came across clearly. Thanks so much for commenting. <3
