Holy cow. I've been reading this story in little bits and pieces over the last few days, and I just keep coming back to it. I love how it's written, how you tie all of those real world things into this fictional telling of Derek and Alex's relationship and make it all sound so perfectly feasible. I can see myself starting to remember parts of the story as reality, because it was told so well.

Your writing is just fantastic. Good sentence structure and a great flow to everything. You give just the right amount of details not make it feel forced, and you don't over explain anything. I just really can't say enough good things about how this piece was written. I enjoyed every single word.

Very, very nicely done.
