Love in the Age of Chemicals Ch. 03

Lovely, but infuriating

Much like your main character, this story is highly interesting, yet exasperating in its unwillingness to let us know background. Well done keeping the tension going without driving me away from the story.

Nice

This is a really nice story. Thank you.

This story...

Loving It

An amazingly good story. Really love your work. 5 well deserved stars.

the main character.... GRRRRRR

Loving the story, but keep waiting for Deke to MTFU!
It is truly frustrating and all I can say is that Miranda is a saint.

Fantastic!

I admit there's a fine line between the cluelessness of our protagonist being interesting versus annoying but you are managing it so far. I guess it helps because I've certainly had professors and coworkers that I truly believe are like this.

That said, I'm enjoying this. Well written, sexy, romantic all in one. And to agree with Anon, Miranda is a saint. But again, she's got her own issues where I think her actions are actually believable. Looking forward to your next chapter.

Sad really.

Deacon might not have the ability to change, he has some promising moment's thanks to Miranda. She won't stay any longer than necessary, and the saddest thing Derek will notice but just move on. I'm hoping for a breakthrough, or a good whack on the head.
I need to check out another of your stories for something a little warmer.....

I'm impressed by how well you present the thought patterns of autism. I'm more self-aware than Deke, and much better at contextual clues, but his uncertainty and frustration with himself are very real to me.

For people criticizing Deke

You need to understand, this isn't a case of simply being clueless, the guy clearly has some form of autism. If you can't grasp that, think of Drax from Guardians of the Galaxy when he responded about metaphors going over his head.

"Nothing goes over my head, my reflexes are too fast. I would catch it."

Because he is a functional autistic, he is not going to relate the same way to things as you or I would. He might be able to adapt slightly, but he will always be like this.

Why he sees her sooner than he thought

I think they put the house back to the way it was but forgot to have him take off his wedding ring.
Dead giveaway.

A Spergy Romance

An interesting tale of "Love on the Spectrum." It would be the cruelest of LW tales for the female protagonist to use Deke for physical affection, tuition, and free board, only to take up with a fellow undergraduate.

Here's to hoping our author has a heart.

More..........

Another great story!

I love your writing style and cannot wait for the rest of your story!

"Loving" it (or chemically induced to enjoy) ;)

This is awesome - I keep seeing Sheldon from the Big Bang, which makes this story even more realistic. Can't wait for Ch. 4!!!

I have yet to figure out

what is likeable, let alone loveable about him.

lovable

@rightbank...
The idea that most of us would never find a person of Deacon's type lovable,rathwr than pathetic, or lost, or hopeless etc. is what makes this story a true romance! The fact that this character is such a brilliant scientific brain, yet so inept, is part of the charm in this tale!

@nageren,
you, friend, are just brilliant spinning this tale! This is the best romance tale I've read in two years of reading on this site!

Keep the style and wit!
