[DomLuka] DD 16 discussion?

[Guest ziggler15]

I've read the DD stories since they started, and I've read what everyone else has been posting, and decided I'd give my opinion...which is that Luke likes Rory...every time Rory tries to talk to Luke about being with Aaron, Luke changes the subject...Everyone assumes it's because he has a thing for Aaron still, but I think that it's because he doesn't want to think about Rory being with someone besides himself. However, some people did bring up the possibility of Seth and Rory...which if you think about it, would work...Seth's close by, he's not closeted, and I'd rather see Rory with Seth than Aaron...Aaron is just too into himself...I'd rather see Aaron end up alone.

 

Hope to get some more input....

and because Dom's such a nice guy, no buses will be harmed in the writing of this story...

 

 

u r correct sir. it would be far to traumatic for the passengers--i dont know what i was thinking. how about an 18 wheeler??

Which way will Rory swing?

 

My guess is that Rory will go to Aaron coz i don't think Rory has put two and two togther yet. He distrusts Seth, resents interference and is obviously in lust (not love) with Aaron.

 

I cant see Rory coming to his senses before he learns the hard way.

 

Rick was the one Luke said was 'disappointed' with him for being gay, so i dont think that idea will pan out. My bets on Luke and Rory (a good thing) but not for a while yet, there going to be suffering.

 

Can Aaron be redeemed? We dont know just how bad he still is yet, all these signs could just be red herrings designed to set us off track. I definitely think he's manipulative and especially that ultimatum. This story is harder to predict than Doms previous two.

 

Cant wait for the party chapter, i'm expecting something big but i'm not sure what. There are too many possibilities.

 

I wouldnt go proclaiming Seth evil yet remember Angela must see something about him that's good.

 

By the way does anyone know how long this one's going to be (no of chapters)?

[NaperVic]

Um. we just don't know anything about Seth. We don't even know if he's seeing Angela or they're just friends. We certainly don't know what Seth said to Aaron. We know what Aaron says was said, and hey, big surprise, it just happens to fit with Aaron's grand plan for world domination. The negatives about Seth are all seen through Rory's eyes, and while I like Rory I don't know, at this stage, I could call him the world's most insightful individual. So let's hold judgement for a while until we find out what's actually going on.

 

I think Aaron should discover he's really into older women and start chasing Alice the Incomprehensible. They deserve each other.

[Tempus-Fugit]

Oh my dear sweet Aaron... don't you realise you do yourself no favours?

 

Sigh.

 

Don't get your hopes up. I still can't quite believe that Aaron will be the ultimate bad guy in this story.

 

That said, I never said he wasn't manipulative either. We know he's manipulative. Even before this ultimatum (which is a really low blow) he's co-erced Rory into doing certain things...

 

But the question is why is he manipulative. There has to be a cause.

 

Which is why I've been pondering something...

 

We all know that Aaron and Luke have a history. Perhaps even boyfriend and boyfriend. But that's still unclear exactly what they were and what they got up too.

 

So here's a theory: what if, back in the day, when Luke and Aaron first got together, they were never anything official, and, now I'm reaching here, what if Aaron wasn't comfortable with his sexuality?

 

Maybe he started falling in love with Luke. Got freaked out by it. Stole the car. Blamed it on Luke.

 

Flash forward a few years later. Aaron's gotten to grips with it, but after all this time, he's still in love with Luke? (you can practically feel my arm breaking now can't you as it reaches for that ever elusive happy ending).

 

Lol. Like I said. It's just a theory. And the only parts I'd really put any stock in are the fact that Luke and Aaron were never anything official. And that Aaron's still in love with Luke. Just cause those are the kind of dramatic twists and turns I expect.

 

Which probably means it's all wrong cause Dom continues to surprise me!

 

So it's all good

 

Regardless, here's hoping Rory tells Aaron where to shove that ultimatum. Relationships are about give and take.

 

And not just physically.

Some of us have been singing that tune for a while now .

 

Now I think it's only a matter of time before Aaron gets shipped off to military school or a seminary.

 

Why does everyone hat Aaron? OK, he fu%&$ed up big time in the past, but I'm sure many of us have done that too. I think he regrets what he did and deserves a second chance.

my problem with aaron isn't what he did in the past. i'm all for giving people second chances. it's the fu%&$ing up that he's doing right now that gets to me. and i don't necessarilly think he's beyond redemption. i just don't see his current actions as being anything but manipulative, self-serving, and downright shameful.

Hi everyone^^

 

I have discovered Dom's fic not too long ago, and I'm glad I was given the URL to TOU on that fateful day ^^

 

My favorite fic untill now is actually TOU, the main character's feelings are incredibly well described, his breaking down and the "healing process" afterwards are breathtaking.

 

 

but well, coming back to dropping desert:

 

When I started reading it, I was really moved, the whole grieving process made me cry in the earlier chapters (though everyone knows that Rory feels this miserable because he refuses to open up to people and doesn't give them a chance to start with).

Then it changed to be more foccused on who Rory will end up with, with a side problem "how is he going to deal with his newfound father", and well, it's deffinitly less moving, maybe because Rory is a little bratty at times... Of course I want to know who he will end up with as well, but this Aaron along with the Seth problem, and Rory's inability to see that there is deffinitly something fishy there, those are a little bit annoying. So I guess it's Rory's character that "annoys" me, because he is a pretty "weak" character, and he will let people take advantage of it (I know, he's supposed to be young and inexperienced, so it's understandable, but it's annoying ;_ . I hope that Rory's character will evolve and turn out to become more strong willed and wiser.

 

okie, now, about Aaron, he was first introduced as the guy who had done mistakes and had learned from them, but was misjuged because of that past. Well, my impression is that Aaron still is bad news for Rory as long as Rory is unable to stand up for himself and his opinions. I don't believe that he is really evil, but he seems too forceful and self centered to be a good match with Rory. the "I like you and you like me" thing as well as the "let's not talk and just kiss since when we talk, we end up arguing", that doesn't lead me to think that those 2 will end up together unless Dom makes them evolve.

right now (the ultimatum), it looks unlikely to me that Rory will stand to Aaron because I see him as "weak", and the only times he really "reacted" before was when he exploded and ran away from the house, but I don't see it happening now. And that annoys me in advance, I want Rory to tell aaron off, I mean, an ultimatum >_<

 

Seth, well, I don't like the guy and don't understand his motives. I don't think that he is really trying to warn Rory about Aaron's evil character because he would have severed the connection with Aaron if he was not his "friend" anymore. He might want to be back with Aaron, but I don't know at all. The clues seem to lead us to believe that, but since it's from Rory's point of view that the story is told, there might be something he hasn't noticed.

 

As to Luke, I put my bet on him I guess, even if he hasn't shown any love struck behavior yet. I mean he is HOT, nice and caring. He pays attention to Rory, even though it seems to be in a friendly way only right now, he might be hiding his feelings and Rory hasn't noticed yet (it is told from Rory's point of view, so we really don't know actually). The fact that he doesn't want to hear about Aaron and Rory can be interpretated in more than one way. Does he still like Aaron? I doubt it, but I might be wrong... Does he like Rory? Maybe, but he hasn't shown it too much then, and Rory sure doesn't have a clue... Is he only concerned about his friend Rory? Maybe... It's hard to tell right now, but I think that it might be where Dom wants to lead his story, maybe because that's what I wish actually...

 

I don't believe that there will be some other character who will suddenly become important and get together with Rory. It would be weird (we are at chap 16, I think that the entire main cast should have been introduced by now). I mean, if it were to happen, then Dom would change his style from the 2 other fics a lot, the main characters were introduced within the 2 first chapters or something (the to be couple's characters made their first appearence in the 1st chap actually, didn't they?).

 

Okie, I'll stop now... my text is long enough already ^^;;;

He's still emotionally hooked on his first boyfriend, Aiden from TLW, so that prevents him from maintaining any new relationship.
