Okay, for YEARS, I've seen people rave about this fic, but for whatever reason, my lazy ass never bothered to sit down and read it even though I enjoyed the concept. So here I am, chapter one, very intrigued!
This is really putting me in mind of when I first read that Jalex fic Poison waaaaay back when I was about fifteen or sixteen -- I remember loving it so much, I was reading it during my work experience week at school and I stayed up until 1AM one night to read it and I was totally dead at work the next day lol. The little nostalgia trip and similar vibes I'm getting from this is really nice. It's been a while since I've read a fic where Jack's a dick, lmao. He's definitely nicer in this than he is in Poison though hahaha! Feeling super bad for Alex so far; alone in the world and kidnapped, told he's about to go from virgin to pornstar. I would be pisseddddd lmao. I feel like John's a bit softer than Jack.
Woahhhh, so Zack's dad runs the company? Interesting. INTRIGUED ABOUT WHO JAMES IS NOW THOUGH. I don't know how to feel about Adam though. I mean, he seems chill enough when he's talking to Jack, but then again, he's also running a really sketchy porn business that kidnaps employees on the fly lmao.
I'm feeling so sad for Alex!!! No wonder he's crying lol his first kiss was with the dude that kidnapped him and he doesn't even know what he's doing. I do feel a little bad for Jack though because even though he's been kind of an asshole, he's also doing this basically against his will? Bummer.
Mention of Alex missing his cousin has me hoping she might make an appearance in the future. Amusing that he suddenly also has a sugar daddy in Jack though lol.
I know it's like low-key Stockholm Syndrome going on here but I like that Alex at least feels somewhat safe in this place with Jack.
I don't know if James is meant to be an OC or not but I'm totally picturing Flyzik lmao.
I know Jack is hurting after seeing James but I'm really glad Alex is yelling at him about basically ruining his life.
I'M SO SAD FOR ALEX THOUGH. Shitty relationship with both parents, then they die, then his only close relative dies. ROUGH.
I'm gutted I can't finish it tonight but I'm on chapter 24 and I need sleep lol. Also this comment is painfully long, soz.
AHHHH okay I just finished it and it was cuuuuuute. In all honesty I kinda hope the whole business gets busted because it's fucked up omg. But that was really cool to finally read such a popular story in the fandom, and it's also cool to see how far your writing has come over the years.
