You're my god, really.

I'm an old PR shipper, back from the days. I actually watched the series from the very beginning, when it first arrived in my country (Mexico), but until now - prompted by a weekend of babysitting brats who *only* watched PR - I began looking for fanfic. I must say the first time I surfed around here, I got scar(r)ed for life and vowed not to come back ever again. **shudders**

Then I gathered the courage and mercifully stumbled - literally, don't ask - upong your story. I can't begin to explain how happy I was.

Personally, I don't agree with the person who reviewed before me, saying that Tommy's 'shyness' to sex was OOC. I think it's very much in character, because this is *not* a 'normal' relationship. I really enjoy your take in their relationship, in all angles. The moments of insecurity, the fumbling to figure out things, the 'research'. I love all that, because it makes them feel *human* and *real*.

Being bi myself, I can assure you many things you point out indeed happen when you first step 'out of the norm' and start a same-sex relationship. You managed to capture the essence of the insecurities, the rocky attempts to make things perfect, the disastrous results of not being yourself. More importantly, you've managed to capture the unfolding of a really strong relationship, one that's not based only on hormones and sex. You've managed to tie them together in a beautiful way, showing us why relationships aren't boring - because something *always* goes wrong/not the way you expected it.

Tommy and Jason are OOC, though, but not the *wrong* kind of OOC. But this is good, you see, because you've set your fic in the future, well after Jason is last seen and after Tommy is 'done' with the Dino-rangers; this means they've grown, *changed*. They are different from their IC personalities seen in the show, but this is good, because it'd be sad (and *insulting*) to Jason's character that you wrote him like a teenager, ten years later! Yes, you've departed from canon but you *had* to and it's certainly the natural progression of a character. And quite frankly, you've managed to do so with impecable talent.

Finally, to close up this rant (whoopsie, got a bit carried away), I look forward to see more of this fic, it's certainly something else. Best of luck with whatever you choose to write/do now and thank you for sharing this beautiful, touching, real love story.

.....I love you. No seriously, this was AWESOME BEYOND AWESOME! *Bows down repeatedly and gives lots of cookies in thanks!* They FINALLY got it right! Oh my gosh, that chapter had me so enthralled that I completely ignored a friend of mine I was talking to over IM while I was reading. And YAY for Jason being on top! I dunno why, but I always liked the idea of him being seme. I guess that's just me though. But yayayayayayayayay!! A thousand times YAY! Please keep writing more! Thanks for the great chapter!

Many fics based on the Rangers often involve juvenile language and worse grammar. You obviously understand that misuse of punctuation or spelling can really ruin the reading of a story, so I thank you for not letting language get in the way of great story telling. I liked how you drew out each encounter, physical or emotional, and described juicy details. I'm not sure if Tommy's reluctance and sexual ignorance fits his character, but when you pair it with Jason's dominance, I love it. Very few people can write about domination well, as you can. Thank you, and please keep the pen to paper (or fingers to keyboards, as it were).

Oh that was amazing! Usually the Tommy/Jason fics I come across are all angst-filled and depressing, but this one was hot, sweet, and EVERYTHING that is Tommy and Jason. *Huggles them both* But you left us dangling right at the most crucial time! ACK! I have to admit though, their first time going "all the way" was adorable and it made me giggle. That happens more often than not in any relationship. Anyway, please update soon and thanks for the great fic!
