this is great. second time i've read it now and it gets better everytime. your a great author

Your story has actually rendered me speechless. This story is amazing in so many different ways. I can barely think right now. I love the way that you managed to keep everyone in character, but at the same time perfectly molded them for the modern time period. The dialogue is great and realistic. And how you managed to add little things that tie it back to Newsies, like adding David in. All in all I really love this story.

i luved that story. it was awsome!

i love this story,it was so great!

LOVE LOVE LOVE IT! One of the Best Mush/Blink fic around. I don't know that many places (Refuge /Nobody told the horse/ffnet) but still one of the best *smile* GREAT WORK: I'd love to read more. KEEP IT UP

Wow. that was GOOD.

...I mean..it didnt have my spotrace OTP so I never really thought about it but my friend was like here. you like newsies, baseball and musical theater. READ. and DAMN I'm glad I did.

I can't even form a constructive critique...I'm still stuck on the "wow...that was a great fic" bit.

...this...will be gently placed in my favorites. thank you.

This fic kicks arse, and I hate that won't let me review chapters more than once. You are really amazing.

This really is one of my favourite fics. I've read it at least 3 times.

Oh. My. Good. This is quite possibly the BEST modern-Newsie fic I've ever read. I LOVE IT!

I love this story. It's so sweet and *real* in a way that I find rare, with cute seemingly random moments. You do a wonderful Blink and your characterization is incredible, for both Blink and Mush.

I like this... very cute. And such a good, happy ending!

I loved it. This is the first Newsies slash I've read for months, and I made sure it was one of yours. I wanted my first in so long to be perfect. It was very special to me.

Luffles,

Agua

Aw. *claps* that was really good. YAY FOR BLINK AND MUSH! You forgot, Michael Myers, the Halloween guy.

Hrm. For some very odd reason nothing came up for chapter two. It was blank. I tried several times on different computers (that's how desperate I was to read it). Hrm and double hrm.

Well, I will attempt to review chapter 3 somewhat intelligently, even though I am very much pouting.

The character of the grandfather was so, for lack of better word, "grandfatherly." Saying words of encouragement that really don't seem to do more than state the obvious, but are from a very honest and caring place.

Mush got beat up? Ack! Damn, why won't chapter two load?

"His father looked at him seriously..."

I think this was supposed to be grandfather? It's just because I'm so fixated on your grandfather character that I noticed :0)

"Musical theater is not exactly my idea of a good time."-Jack Ha! That was awesome. I was giggling when I read that.

Aw...Cutes all the way. I'm glad it worked out for them. Blink figured out a way to be himself and was quite gutsy in the process. Wonderful characterizations.

Bravo!

As a rule, I generally don't read modern day fic...but I have had to make an exception: Your modern day fiction is so all started when I was looking for something quality to read...so, of course, I just went to your page and began re-reading and then, when I could re-read no more and still needed a fix of B goodness, I clicked on this story.

I started reading and I could not stop. The storyline was compelling and your characterizations were top. The balance of dialogue and narration were perfect for the pace of the story. I really got a sense of Blink's inner struggle with himself and how Micheal brings it all to the surface for him.

And, as a Red Sox fan coming from a long line of Red Sox fans, I have to say I didn't mind the Yankee-centricity ;0) That's how well you write, you can make *anything* good...even the Yankees. Just kidding, of course ;0)
