All Comments on 'Back From College Pt. 02'

oh my god, so good. love the emotional twists. and just the right amount of teasing and in the right places to make it lighthearted and fun but not too far.

As a stand-alone it's solid; coming from Part 1 the off-screen breakdown is a bit of a jolt but surprisingly realistic compared to the typical run of this genre. The emotional arc feels more surefooted, though once again their transition back into lovers reads a little too abrupt: it's easy enough to imagine Grace suppressing her own desire, but without a real self-interrogation, it seems she's leaping from one extreme to the other.

Otherwise the tension before and the release after are decently paced: earnest, but not melodramatic. The text could use a bit of polish, but again, the intent shines through.
