I wish you could see this huge, dumb grin I have right now... What a beautiful update! Really.

I love how understanding can Paul be and how sheepish John can get, it's quite an adorable image.

I can hardly wait to read the next chapter! thousands of thanks for this one! ;)

Wow. That. Was. Incredibly. Romantic.

I love the little baby steps they're taking. That seems realistic for two boys suddenly doing things with each other they'd never considered before -- even though, of course, as I reading about John reaching a point where he's thinking he can only go forward or backward in making out with Paul, I was shouting, "Forward! Forward, goddammit!" :) Ha!

I can't wait to see how the rest of this plays out.

Haha, yes, we're drawing out the sexual tension a little bit. ;) We had a craving for a fic where they don't immediately go from first kiss to arsefucking, you know. :)

Goosebumps. I got goosebumps. I like the slow pace, as well. Paul is awfully understanding, but then - he was, wasn't he? Even now he refuses to think of all the mean things John did, he only wants to focus on the good things. That's true love, IMO. Great job!

Aw, thank you. We make no pretences towards realism -- I'm sure their actual behaviour would have been closer to what you described in WES, if anything had happened, but this is the fantasy fluff version. ;)

Love the fantasy fluff.

Oh, that's so great. And sweet. Those two boys, really slowly, carefully beginning to understand. Beginning to do what feels right for them, no matter whether they or anybody else thinks it's right.
I love how Paul just understands, how he doesn't make a fuss - John would never have dared to say or do anything like that.
I'm really, really looking forward to the next chapter. :)
