:D Thanks, your input and encouragement was vital to it's completion. 

Oh my God, thank you for writing this! I sort of had a feeling this would be your idea when you were asking for bits of stories. Also I totally laughed out loud at the fire boooomb hahaha! Also the end "You were screwed the second you did a whole sex scene in socks." OMG I cannot wait to see what Nick comes up with, and what you come up with and yeah. Update soon? :)

Hahaha, still loving this! I love how Yasmine seems to get fanfiction and the theory on why they...err... we.. hurt Nick in fan fiction. His story idea seems really sweet! I can't wait to read more of this, and of his story as it comes along. lol great work on this Jen!

Ahaha the conversation with Brian was brilliant, especially when he was like "That's...that's... AWESOME!" Bahahaha still amazing. Also enjoyed Nick's description of how he made the banner!

Author's Response: LoL I think drunk Brian and drunk Nick would be an AWESOME! duo. :) Eventually Nick might share the FIRST attempt at banner making too :p

(Read this and am reviewing on my phone so apologies for typos!)

I loved it! I loved how it was from Howie's point if view and you added in little clues about him and his sexuality and attraction to Nick. I also loved Nick in this, he was so Nickish, a lot more so than he is usually portrayed. Really vulgar and drunk and exactly how he is on the cruise. I enjoyed how Nick wasn't even reluctant when he was drunk but when he realised what happened he was obviously freaked out. But it did seem like he was in denial and there were some deeper thoughts there that were opened up on account of their romp in the sac lol. This was a very enjoyable read! If you continue with it I'd keep reading as I love the angst, but I think it also works great as a one shot! :)

Author's Response: Thanks Steph!! I have never written a Howie story before, so it was fun to write from his point of view and easier than I thought it would be! It was also fun to write about the cruise. I'm glad Nick was believable! That was the only way I could write a slash, if I thought it seemed even halfway believable. I'm glad you picked up some hints about both of their feelings for each other. I wanted to leave it open to wondering about Nick... LOL. I'm really glad you liked this and appreciate your feedback, especially since I know you've written slash before. Thanks again!!

Ugh, Nick! His manwhore ways are obviously going to come back and bite him in a big way. I'm sure he'll be wishing to be back on tour in no time LOL. Kind of hard to feel bad for him at the end knowing what's coming, hah!

But I still feel bad for him, cause you know, I love him and stuff. Looking forward to more!

Author's Response: Him and AJ were giant manwhores back then so it was an angle I could work with. Yeah sometimes I want to slap him, then others cuddle. Thanks for the review!!!

Legitimately in love with this story! I love Nick in this, he's so different than usual and yet still so Nickish. I love how he was upfront with Lauren about everything right away instead of trying to keep it all a big secret. But of course being predictable isn't your style ;) oh I also loved Phil - ha! So funny. Love the constant updates and on the edge of my seat waiting for the next one!

Author's Response: haha You know I never write anything that you can predict the ending to. And once again, NONE of you are gonna see this ending before it arrives. I'm having a lot of fun exploring a more mature Nick in this. I imagine Nick would be confused about maturity even as he grows into it and starts acting mature. He's got a lot to learn but he's fumbling along okay. I like trying out different facets of Nick story to story while retaining some essence of him. Always fun exploring the character. ;) Thanks for the review!
