A Darkening Glow - Comments

/Brendon flails his arms around, looking genuinely torn. “We’re usually assigned to people who don’t have anybody,” he admits, still chewing his lip. “To people who feel like they’re all alone.”

Spencer straightens up. “Ryan’s not alone,” he says, and his voice comes out harsher than he means it to, bitten out and chewed off. “He has me, and his dad, and my parents, and-”

“I do feel alone,” Ryan says, his slow exhalation of breath almost a confession, “sometimes.”/

My favourite <3 It rings true.We hide our loneliest moments even from people who know us most, so we don't hurt them or make them think their presence is not enough to quell it.

OMG I DIDN'T KNOW THIS FIC EXISTED
I HAVEN'T READ YET COZ MAH BRO WANTS TO USE THE COMPUTER BUT I'M LEAVING IT OPEN IN A TAB TO STALK
JSYK :D

I’m back again. I just can’t get enough of your writing style. The layout was very lovely; I loved the colors and how well they matched the banner. :) It wasn’t hard on my eyes at all. The title was on the shorter side, which I’m fond of, and it caught my eye because it’s just interesting. A Darkening Glow…that could be about so many things, y’know? I had to read it. (The fact that it’s written by you may have helped my decision to read it. ) This was unbearably adorable. I love Spencer/Ryan, and then you had to throw in an adorable Brendon guardian angel as well. As always, the detail and precision you put into your writing astounds me, and brings the entire thing to life. I love the denial, and how Brendon’s just like D: WHY DOES NO ONE EVER BELIIIIIIEVE. (Just much less dramatic than that.) Gah, it’s just so adorable and sweet! I love it. <3333 This entire thing made me just squeal. I’m agnostic, but I’m certainly in love with this idea. Ah-mazing. Just. Gah.

I agree wholeheartedly with the first comment. I've always been attracted to stories where there are angels involved. There's just something about them that intrigues me and this is one of the greatest ones I've come across. I just so happened to stumble upon it and immediately fell in love.

I love Brendon as an angel; he's adorable! And you're writing is amazing. I do hope you come back to this and post some more chapters. Seriously. This is golden and shouldn't be forgotten about. Until then, I'll subscribe and hope for an update sometime in the near future!

Right off the bat, can I just say that I adore the idea behind this? I always love well written angel stories so this caught my eye. Also, your layout was gorgeous. I'm envious. (:

Spencer wakes first the next morning, Ryan’s legs tangled with his, one of Ryan’s arms thrown across his chest. That image was just so freaking adorable. I love Spencer's character in this; its really hard to find stories where he's the main focus and you've written him so well.

I'm only about halfway through right now but I like the use of brackets as well. Although they're used quite frequently, it doesn't seem excessive and the content of them is great as well, especially Spencer's asides about losing his mind due to Ryan. xD

I also love how you actually made Brendon's character feel almost human. In a lot of angel stories that I read, the angels don't act like humans in any way and it rather alienates me from the character. Technically, I suppose angels should act like that but I prefer the interpretation where you can actually relate to their character, which is what you've done with Brendon. (:

(Spencer is Ryan’s best friend and he has no idea what he wants most in the world. I think that was actually my favorite line in the entire piece. We never really do know what someone wants, do we? Even if they're our best friends, we can never know everything about them and, for some reason, this line just made me think of how fragile our friendships can really be. To sum up the rambling of this last paragraph, I really liked this line. xD

That ending... oh my god, that ending was hilarous! (Hah, god was a pun. -faceslam-) I wasn't sure how you were going to end it but that was just perfect. This entire piece was perfect, to be honest. There were no spelling or grammar errors that I could see and the plot was solid. Beyond that, I think the characters were amazing; each of them was written so well and they just seemed so damn real.

In other words, to sum up a rambling comment, this was amazing and I do hope you revisit it. <3
