the story is beautiful. i'm so glad that they got together as lovers in the end.
I think you're very brave for writing a love story about a handicapped person and a "normal" one and I admire you for that.
I cried, it was so beautiful. Thank you for writing this. I can only hope that I will be able to write something as magical as this one day.
I love this story, it wasn't mushy, it was interesting and very well written. I thoroughly it; it held many elements of romance and expressed relevant emotions masterfully. Thank you for sharing.
It has to be one of the most beautiful and poignant stories I have ever read. Well done!!
I like how your stories are set in the future but not in the distant future, very easy to envision:)
One that is receptive to special gifts and relationships. So often the future is depicted as simply grim. Blond curls, blue eyes and wide smiles make it a lot more appealing. It's lovely to ponder what Marc will do in that sunnier future.
You did a marvelous job in just the broadest of brushstrokes to create a whole world, ever so slightly different from our own. Beautifully done.
Such a wonderful story! And congrat's on the "E" very well deserved!
A wonderful story. The hallmark of great sci-fi is believable integration of tech in the tale, you did that seamlessly. The hallmark of a great story is emotional resonance, I fretted, I cried, and I smiled when I got to the lovely ending. Thank you for posting.
Peace and joy,
Shell
This was absolutely amazing, I was sobbing by the end!! Such a beautiful story thank you so much for sharing it with us

What a beautiful, heartfelt story of love, patience and trust. They make a glorious couple.
You know that wisp of an ache that sometimes threads its way through your core during a deeply touching story? That sliver of enchantment that speeds up the heart and wraps itself around the lungs and squeezes until breathing itself becomes a miracle? Two characters step out beyond the words that created them, and you hand them your heart without question.
That's what I felt throughout this story.
You made me love Marc for how special he was and Jaime for having a heart that so effortlessly made me see it.
Amazing work.
Blessings,
AH
I read this story on another site months ago and I'm very happy to see you post it here. The Lit readers are always great on providing feedback. Hope you keep posting your stories here. we'll support you! ^^
Glad it didn't turn into Flowers for Algernon. Great story too bad there really isn't a cure like that. On the other hand if there were I'd be out of a job.
You managed to tell a better love story in four pages than Stephanie Meyer did in four books.
This story just grabbed me and wouldn't let go. Can't wait to read more from you.
I loved it. A great story without sex being the main plot/objective. You wrote a believable story where possibilities are infinite. Kudos.
the way this story was written, was just amazing! it really touched me & it shows that it doesn't matter what you are or who you are, love is love. simple as that.
great story. really beautiful. can't wait to read more of your stories!
There is nothing more to be said. Except, I can't wait to read more of your work.
Its soooooooo lovely. Tears welled up in the end. At first i was confused about the hover ride thing and the visual pods but then i realised its cause they're in the future or they wouldn't be able to fix the brain damage. so cute. Love it.
I'd like to thank everyone who has left a comment and, in particular those who have given me feedback. I just wated to say that I have NO idea how to respond to either a comment or feedback so I can't say personal thank you's. SO I would like to repeat. Thank you to everyone who takes the time and troouble to comment
I cried from the start till the end. Most wonderful, heart warming story to date. Loved every second and hope you keep posting here aswell as your other sites.
to describe the emotions that you are able to invoke in your writing. The story was beautiful and magical. I hope that you continue to write, whether in a journal or published works, or fuck it, on a bathroom stall. Because you have a talent that shouldn't be wasted. Thank you.
Much love is being sent your way.
You have crafted an iconic painting, with words. I had tears in my eyes, at times..."I would have mortgaged my soul"...etc. Truly great writing!!
It was ok in the beginning but then it just got worst. It was a total waste of my time.
Even after the second reading, you captured me again with just a few words and then wrapped you magic around my heart. Just so touching. Thank you.
This is the second reading for me too and I love it even more. Who says no one is allowed to find love and a soul mate, no matter the circumstances. They are a beautiful and yes special couple
For anonymous if you didn't like it why read it?? Comments like that are unnecessary
This is a beautiful, touching story. The emotions you captured so well brought tears to my eyes. Thank you!
i have never cried so much. i love both Marc and Jamie. u r very good writer. I would love to read some more. Please post ur new story
No matter how many times I have read SPECIAL, it makes me cry... This story gets to my core weakness where nobody else should know. You have done a great work!
I too cry each time I read this story. It is one of the most touching, beautiful and romantic stories. They are a gorgeous couple and I would love to read story about what they did after the wedding and onwards. Keep writing
This is the third time that I've read this story, and I've loved it each time. Its seriously so adorable, I just can't get enough.
i died reading the start and my ghost read the ending i was in tears like a school girl who had her hair pulled i was completely blown away this story was exceptionally well written i commend you...bravo
So sweet I loved it cried like a baby but I loved it please write more this is amazing absolutely amazing
Thank you for this lovely story.it reminds me to love evryone just as they are,coz inner love brings closure and healing.if there could be Mac's point of view.
If I could give you a straight 20 I would this is one of the most beautiful love stories I have ever read. I am now up to the 4th reading lol
Oh dearie me Nephylim, now I've melted into mush in front of my computer and I still have to write a story and do homework!
It's always nice to read a well written love story.
This is one of the best stories I've ever read. It's a heart wrenching love story. Please keep writing. You have a wonderful gift thank you for sharing it.
this just became one of my top favourites. i'm autistic and it makes me think "happily ever after" can happen to me one day too. today was a bad day but reading this really helped cheer me up. thank you! and please, keep writing, you are very talented!
You are an amazing writer! Please keep writing. Love in any form is beautiful.
I have read this story four times and each time it makes me smile, cry, laugh, smile and cry again because it really is a very touching, beautiful, enduring story that makes my heart swell with love for both Marc and Jamie who truly are soulmates and destined for happiness.
When people read a story and come back to read it again and again, then that becomes proof enough that there is something special about it. This story is one of those highly touching ones done by real writers who are exceptionally talented.
Sometimes i am just so lucky to find wonderful authors who write beautiful stories. Thank you. That was just what i needed.
I have autism that has crippled me from forming relationships. My lack of social skills has denied me meaningful love, and while I enjoy sex, it is never with meaning. Heres hoping i find my Jamie.
I came on this site looking for interesting sex stories ....instead I find this divine love story . Thank you for posting this
I come on here looking for stories about sex but this story was beautiful. Every time I read it I cry. Honestly, it makes me hope everyone out there regardless of gender, age, size, shape, ethnicity, mentality, or outlook on life finds their "Jamie." When I read this it reminds me of my own "Jamie" so to speak. And it fills me with such love.
I have to go to work in 3 hours. But i could not help but finish this story. I am not autistic, but i cant wait to find love... and if hes autistic then who gives a fuck as long as were in love.
The story was so vivid I felt like I could picture every moment. Reading has always been a difficulty for me, but I understood this to every extent. I came on here looking to read a raunchy sex story but ran across this. I regret nothing, because this was undoubtedly better. I grew to love the characters and felt as if I knew them like I know myself. Even better that it is (or seems to be) a true story.
Very sweet story, nicely written. I thoroughly enjoyed it and was anxious to find out how it would end.
(By the way: Sneaky of you not to let us know that the story takes place in the future until we read that Jamie is studying interstellar travel.)
I have lost count the times I have read this story. It is one of the very best written on Literotica. The relationship between Marc and Jamie is so wonderful to read. More please of your excellent writing
Beautiful story. That's all I can really think to say. This story has made my day so much better
It's been nearly 3 years since you wrote *SPECIAL*. I have lost counts of how many times I re-read SPECIAL. From the beginning to the end, your story was beautiful. I wish you wrote a similarly lovely story again. It is not that I do not appreciate your other stories. But, again, you have talent to write a moving love story without S/M involvement.
I was so worried that this story would end up being a gay flowers for Algernon and I'd end up crying my eyes out, but I persevered because I had to know anyway, and...
It was so good. It wasn't even technically erotica, just an incredible romance story. Thank you, author.
Never read something this beautiful, thank you ain't enough.
I've been reading the stories on Literotica for a long time, and it's been difficult to find stories that conveyed this kind of connection, romance and depth. Even though I have found a few really good ones there was always the sexual aspect of the story. I love those stories very much...but this one really touched my heart and I was riveted. Thank you.
Wonderful story of true love and devotion (no sex in the script it wasn't necessary ) a very touching experience thank you for sharing.
I do not recall how many times I have read 'Special', which always makes me cry and yet hooks me on, when I wanted to feel a little happier, trying to forget the harsh reality.
I have no idea how many times I have read this but it is still just - well - amazingly amazing.
Ah...every time I read this story I feel better and more optimistic about my own life,it’s still a fantastic read and I hope in the year 2019 that I can come back and read it again. Love Nix.
Extraordinary Special!!! Not just the story but the author too, Forbidden love is a dangerous theme to write about but setting it in the future where possibilities could be endless with advanced medical treatment is amazing.
I always seem to come back to this story after finding it a few years ago.. such a compelling love story that would make a beautiful film.
