abuseThat was simply beautiful. There are so many things about this story that I liked. I think I may have to list them, just in case I lose my ability to be coherent.

1. The use of tenses- Brilliant, the switching between two was really effective, and built momentum while allowing you to avoid being over-descriptive.

2. The description and language- Simple where it needed to be, with sharp complex sentences, that became far more effective because of your selectivity of words in sentences, e.g. "They stay like that a moment longer than they have to, breathing heavily, something unnameable passing between them."

abuseI really like the way you put this together.

Very in character, very thought-provoking and very visual without too many details obscuring the point of the entire piece.

And the different tenses make it a btter switch from 'explanations' about Archie, to his daily life.

I really enjoyed this and I hope to read more from you.

abuseI really liked this. You really got into Archie's personality and his view point. Great job, and I can't wait to read more of your fics. The last line especially really made me grin. Keep up the fantabulous work!

abuseAww.. I absolutely ADORED this! Not only was the AxA moment at the end so incredibly cute, but the metaphorical language talking about the different ways of drowning was amazing! I'd never thought about his fear like that before. -I hope you understand which part I'm talking about.. if not you can PM me:)-This was VERY Archie - that may add to the many reasons I enjoyed it :) "Like Atlanta's eyes." Perfect ending! I hope you write some more AxA fics! Lepi xo.
