OMG. The specificity of this comment has me grinning from ear to ear. I'm so glad you loved Neil, and that you read all that into his words and actions. I'm a total Neil fan, if that's not really effing obvious, and I love the way he talks about his relationship with Adam. It was so much fun to write his parts, so I'm really glad you liked him. I'm also happy Adam's struggle with his sexuality worked for you. I fretted over that in particular quite a bit. I actually completely changed the ending because I knew I'd gotten in wrong the first time, so to hear that I got it right in the end is such a relief. Really glad the Adam-Eber situation worked for you, too; I was worried about that as well, of course. And honestly, I'm just SO HAPPY this story worked for you on all those levels. It's my little baby, for sure, more than anything I've written in YEARS, and so this comment has really made my efforts feel worth it. THANK YOU.
