A very sensitively written story.
Unfortunately much too short. I enjoyed it, but I would have liked to know so much more about everything ... Well, you have to make do with the crumbs.
“I thought…” Augustus squeezed at his elbow again. He remembered the constant teasing, others being hostile to him, simply because of the way he was born. “I thought, that there was something wrong with me.”
Damien kissed him in turn. “No. Of course, not,” he whispered. “Nothing was ever wrong with you, Augustus. You are fine as you are, my darling.” He slid an arm around Augustus’s waist, then pressed his mouth to his apprentice’s forehead. His free hand lingered against Augustus’s shoulder. “The people who treated you in such ways—they merely did not know better. But you are a wonderful man, a gentle soul, and a fine lover, at that, too.”

Thank you Beau for this short-story! I usually hate them because I don’t feel like I get to know the characters but I truly enjoyed this one. I think your writing is amazing and it shows.

I felt a major disconnect with the characters for a few different reasons. I didn't really vibe with the age gap, I wanted more of the academic setting, and I wanted to feel like the characters had other things going on besides being in love. I did get a little confused at points about which character's pov we were in so I think that was honestly the biggest reason I spent a lot of this short story confused. I did enjoy the writing however so I am excited to read more of the author's work. I do think that in a longer book, this author will give me an incredible reading experience. This author has so many stories you are bound to love so please go check out the author and find a story that you're interested in!

This is just a fine very short story (about 30 pages I believe) it’s a queer mentor/mentee relationship which is adorable. There were a few big time skips which was not great to read in my opinion but it was just fine. It did what a short story was supposed to do. It was quick and fun but I didn’t care much for the characters.
The writing is good and I’m sure the author can write very well. And I’m excited to read more books from him!
