I still really believe in this story. I think you have an edge others don't: you don't have to deal with what the episodes gave us. Sometimes stories come across as retelling with insight. This takes us someplace new, someplace fresh.

You know I like this story. It's such a surprise. I'd hate to see it die down. I think about it sometimes. I think it has great potential. Maybe Craig wants an out but the biz details in the contract say no. It'd be cool to see them interacting in other places too, maybe a struggle professional wise because a serious boundary has been crossed. I keep thinking about music managers who steal the artists cash...or even (ugh) Joe Jackson and how he treated the Jackson 5. I can see Leo doing it because he believes in Craig that much and wants him...but also wants him broken so he can keep him and there's that sexual attraction there. But I'm just rambling...hope I'm not like infringing on fan fic territory or something. Hope to see this updated one day! I want to see Craig all miserable and uncomfortable and LEO LIKES IT. Don't let him go Leo.

Great story, very well written, but please give us more than one short chapter a month!

Good job, I can't wait for more!

another great chapter! You've got me hooked!

Leo really is one twisted man, but I like all the insight you give on his character. It's a lot more interesting than being in Craig's mind.

Can't wait for the next chapter! Plz update quickly!

I'm liking this story more and more. I love the way you reference in the old Abuse from his dad in your story. Also, this ending? Not nice. Now I'm hooked.

Dare I say I like the Craig/Leo relationship?

Leo is so screwed up... I'm glad you're dealing with it the way you are, and I like how you talk about how Craig is kind of reacting the way he is because of his previous abuse. I mean, they hardly even mentioned it on the show after it happened, and something like that doesn't just go away. So loving the whole love/hate thing. I can't wait for more!

Wow... What crazy shenanigans. I'm really enjoying this. I hope you'll update soon!

Please continue this soon!

I really like your writing.

Wow. The ending shocked me :0. Can't wait to see what's next!

I feel like I'm waiting for something. I'm not sure if I should try to suggest something...I think all those suggestions would be wrong. I'm just waiting. I think this is the mood of the story..just waiting. I think you have a firm grip on this story so I will just wait it out and see where it takes us. So I think it's a good waiting. I'm glad I have the opportunity to be reading it live as it is published. I really do have faith in this story. I love how it threw me for a loop when I first started reading. Sometimes I swear it's going to lag but it really doesn't. As long as you keep fishing into Leo's head, it stays good. I'm a Craig fan but I think it should stay as far as it can from him...besides for Leo smelling the abuse on him. Man do I love that. How he can just tell and he's angry at it but intrigued all the same. He's going to use that. I can't wait to see what you have in store but don't be afraid to take your time. Let it grow around in your mind with all it's possibilities. But you must update one day.

This line packs so much impact - “Craig, I’m not your father or your step-father or your older brother or the bullies at school or whoever it was that hurt you so much. This is transference. Projection. Pick any psychological bullshit term you prefer, but I’m not that person. Get it?” - Holy mind fuck Leo!

The whole Leo love/hate thing for Craig is interesting. I like how he's intrigued by his troubled past but once he gets a taste of it, he's disappointed with Craig's reaction. It's interesting how he's bothered by Craig tuning out the situation. Does he like when Craig fights back? Maybe he hates that Craig doesn't have the strength to fight back but he sure seems to enjoy his struggling. But also hates it. It's a nice contridiction. Great concluding sentence on the chapter!

I've read this chapter before but after reading your most recent story "Torn Away", I thought I'd go back and feed the author reviews. I'm guessing you got the idea while working on this? Either way, I like the way they parallel each other.

I like how you've made Leo's intentions not black and white, if that makes sense. You've kept it in mind that rape isn't about sex and I really get the sense of power that Leo is in love with. It's almost like he picked Craig out of all those other musicians just because he wanted to break him. You've made it all interesting to wonder about.

My favorite paragraph:
"I’d just kiss him, maybe. That would assuage the demon inside of me. I wouldn’t take his clothes off, rip them off. Invade him in places, violate him so deeply he’d never recover. I wouldn’t. I’d just take a little bit, not enough to destroy him. And I wouldn’t hurt him, I wouldn’t hit him, force him to bend to my will. I’d have self control. I could do that, despite the alcohol that I had drank, that was trying to erode my reason. Despite the drugs I had done that were lowering my inhibitions and sense of what was moral or responsible or something sort of social like that."

Lol. I haven't read this in two forevers.
Very good chapter.
Even if it takes me a while to review, I'm reading it.
Continue :]

I am so glad you didn't give up on this.. Pfewh, i just like this story soo much..

Oh my...you must update! What if Leo has some gun in his cool modern home and kills Craig just to see his reaction when he dies?!?!?! Post more soon!

Oh yay! You finally updated this one. Uh...I love it so much. It's so wrong, and Craig's so...he's got so many issues I can't help but love it.

More please! :D It made my entire day getting this alert btw, lol.
