Holy shit. I love you. I love this story. I liked when you described the falling snow as secrets, and POPLAR TREES!! I like poplar. It's good for building things. And also, this asshole who knows about Gerard's past… he needs to take a serious hike. Through woods and lakes and shit. I don't like him. And I also don't like Ocean. She's really oblivious. Mikey's powers of perception and sensitivity are second to none. He makes me so happy. I wish Frank and Gerard and te rest of the world didn't accidentally/purposefully shit on him so much, but he takes bs like a pro. Except for this scar thing. That's gonna be an issue. Why didn't Frank defend Gerard? Is it just because he was feeling bad about the kiss or is it something deeper? Thank you do much for posting this. I know that you're busy an everything (huge understatement) but I really love this whole story and I can honestly say that it is on my list of top favorite fanfictions ever in the history of ever. I love you.
