SPOILER AHEAD!
While I'm a sucker for anything with angels, this is just fall a bit on the short side to be able to capture the idea behind it.
I wonder why Anton (the angel) feels that he needs to make a decision to go down to Earth. I know that Gray has experienced something awful (his lover walking out on him and taking two of Gray's biggest clients), but I can't grasp the urgency that pushes Anton to be the 'fallen' in order to help. It's not like Gray is too desperate and ready to commit suicide, isn't he?
Plus, while there's no sex, it's pretty sudden for Gray to suddenly wants to spend the rest of his life with Anton, is it? And here I thought Gray's having his heart broken. Not liking the insta-love ending.
But it does capture the situation that the prompt letter suggests. And I enjoy reading Anton's first experience with human's 'things', like foods or wearing Crocs. I don't dislike it, it's just a bit so-so for me.

Writing is too detailed for me. Like the most precise details down to what his feet look like to every shade and fleck in his eyes. I get bored with overly detailed flowery descriptions.
I'm also not a fan of angel stories so take whatever I say however you want.
Grey's ex is a total douche. Who does that to someone? Wish there would have been more about Mike, maybe how they met and that type of stuff.
The story is cute and free I just would have preferred more character details and maybe get to know the characters better over the abundant descriptive details. I really didn't care what Mario or his patio looked like or what the drug store clerk looked like or what his feet looked like. Don't think I could care less about the croc stuff.
So yeah all the scenery is vet detailed but ask me who the characters are and I have no idea.

This is one of those stories that not ony had a beautiful picture but a great prompt too.
It was sweet and cute but just way too short, I would love to know more of Anton's 'new life' and maybe some more of his past life.
I feel like I was just given a blurb and I want the whole story! :)

I really wish this had been longer!
What a beautiful story for a beautiful picture, it put a smile on my face until the end.

I'm not fan of angel romance stories (and other paranormal romance stories) and the only exception is Castiel/Dean. However the picture of angel was so beautiful and story is short and free...couldn't resist.
It is not badly written, actually I like how author told us story but...
Why Anton decided to fell? Yes, Gray's ex was jerk and acted like one but it wasn't like Grey couldn't move on, he was dealing quite well with the break up. Anyway, free will and stuff.
What bothered me most was, when Gray founds Anton the young man is alone in the park, crying, bare feet, without warm clothes ( in cold evening) and appears to be "not entirely there" and yet when Anton tells Gray that he is angel, Gray with no doubt accepts that as true...Here comes my dark imagination and whispers to me more sinister possibilities from what and who Anton could have escaped and why Gray is so kind and accepting and its more realistic too.

This was absolutely lovely! I love the innocence and gentleness of Anton and the kindness of Gray.
However my mind can't help wandering to their future. How is Gray going to get Anton identification? He can't keep Anton holed up in his penthouse forever. Silly I know, but that's what I thought of as soon as the story was over, lol.

While short in length, this story is very rich in details that bring it to life. I’m very intrigued by angel stories and really enjoyed the premise behind this one including the fact that it involves an interracial couple. There was enough going on to feel the heat start to build between Anton and Gray, but it definitely left me wanting more! Very nice:)

My only problem with this delightful story was it wasnt long enough.......I wanted to know more about what happened once they got home and how Anton had watched over him all his life...
This was very sweet but not sappy.........I thoroughly enjoyed it!!!

I would have liked some insight into Anton's motivation for such a consequential and far-reaching action.
