My Last Day Without You By Quinn D.k.

[QuinnDK]

Alright, here's a little reward for everyone who's been so patient, for suffering (so to speak) through the last couple of chapters.

 

Chapter 11 and 12 are out! 

 

I'm keeping my mouth shut until you guys read it.

Stick the landing... Obviously, they'll go on to become the first gay couple astronauts. Nationwide heroes and loved by all.

I woke up to a ridiculous number of notifications - in large part because of you! I'm off to read the chapters now ....

[northie]

I'm not sure Henrik is capable of such life-changing off-the-cuff speaking. But it's difficult to see how else the situation could be resolved.

Okay, I was wrong. I was wonderfully, gloriously wrong! Yay!

Well! The last chapter is up, which marks my first completed story here at GayAuthors.

 

I've crossposted My Last Day Without You to other sites, but it was the extremely kind and encouraging community at GA that compelled me to finish. Ezra and Henrik are two people who've been rolling around in my mind for a really long time and it's been really gratifying to share their story with everyone.

 

So thanks so much to everyone who's stuck around since I posted the first chapter on Valentine's Day this year. Who knows, we might see Hezra in some form or another in some other story... 

 

[Graeme]

And a very satisfying last chapter it is. Thank you for writing this story I look forwarding to seeing what you write next.

[Timothy M.]

I think I'll be able to write some reviews without too much ranting now.   Sorry about falling behind.

[northie]

Congratulations on your first complete story!  

It has been a pleasure to read: romantic, funny, the right amount of dramatic tension, and very well written. I had been hoping for the conclusion this week, being in need of something to lift my spirits.

What's next?!

What's next?!

I'm crossing my fingers for Fire and Icing...

I'm disappointed ... I'd been looking forward to you ranting!   

[Timothy M.]

Oh, there will be ranting, just no frothing of the mouth.

[Puppilull]

I've followed your story and have looked forward to each new chapter. So nice to see these two realizing what they want and need.

 

So perhaps now Blue age can get a little update...? Pretty please...?

[northie]

What an unexpected pleasure! There we were, relishing our hot chocolate with cream and you add a dollop of marshmallows.

 

Is this the end, the final, final end?

 

Thank you, Quinn!

[QuinnDK]

There is now an epilogue!

 

You beat me to it, northie! But is this the end? The final final end? Well...

 

My focus right now is finishing Fire and Icing (I haven't forgotten about Blue Age either), but I would also like to announce that Henrik and Ezra will return in a new story of their own soon. (My Last Month Without You? My Last Year? Title pending!) Since MLDWY tilted toward drama more often than not, I'm intending to make the sequel a little lighter and breezier in tone, but with a lot of romance and sex to spare. So, more romcom, less angst. Hopefully you'll all find the epilogue reflects that!

 

Have I mentioned how much I appreciate the GayAuthors community? As readers and peers and supporters, you guys can't be beat. I'm really lucky to have found this place.

 

[northie]

What an excellent prospect! Some angst and drama is good...

 

The only thing I'd suggest (on a side issue) is that you should promote these story topic threads in your stories. Many people don't know that these threads exist.

[QuinnDK]

Great suggestion northie, I've added a little chapter end note. The more people visiting GA's forums the better.

Dear (Mr Quinn),

I've started reading this story on another site and quite by accident I came across this (Gay Authors) site. Am I glad that I've discovered GA. You have completed the story and posted it here. Yay ! This story is so romantic, just like the Harlequin novels that you've mentioned. Ezra is the damsel in distress and Henrik is the knight in shining armour (stretching this analogy more than a little bit, sorry). As I've lived for several years in Toronto, the setting of your story brings back a lot of fond memories. Albeit that I was living there at the time you were born (OMFG), so the city has changed somewhat. Anyway, a happy ending is ALWAYS what I enjoyed the most in romantic stories and you delivered it in spades ! Thank you ! Now back to work for you sir, I demand (for myself and all your other readers) in the most respectful way that you post new chapters of Fire and Icing and Blue Age promptly ! I AM holding my breath waiting for the next update and you really don't want a faithful reader to die on your watch, do you ? LOL ! Well, I'll say it again, I really enjoyed all three of your stories and I wish you the best in life and all your endeavours ! Have a happy Sunday ! (I now live in Hong Kong so we're lounging around our Sunday afternoon)

[QuinnDK]

Coming... not quite soon... but in the near distant future:

 

[northie]

It doesn't matter how long - just that it's on your worklist is fine by me.

 

Love the 'cover' - your design?

The image of the two dudes, I was able to poach off tumblr. It's (maybe not unsurprisingly) difficult to find romantic images of men where one of them has a beard, the other doesn't, and it's not pornographic. The text and the bokeh effect are all me, though!

Hey hohochan657, thanks so much for reading, and for all your kind words! I'm guessing you found MLDWY on Nifty first? I've been so neglectful with updating on that site, hopefully the readers there aren't too mad.   I'm hard at work on my next stories, so hopefully you'll have enough breath until a new chapter is posted. Blue Age is still a little ways off, but you can expect a Fire & Icing update soon!

 

I would love to visit Hong Kong one day - I'm half-Chinese and have relatives there that I've never met.

You should come and visit ! Not over the summer though, we're currently boiling over here ... From November to April it will not be so hot and humid ... We'll shouldn't take up too much of your time, you have stories to write ... LOL !

OMG that's Sterek!! and it's funny because the dynamic between Ezra and Henrik reminded me somehow that of Stiles and Derek lol... Are you familiar with them?

I'm not, so now you'll have to explain who those two are.

 

Quinn, good to hear you're contemplating a sequel. Reminds me I need to get some reviews written on the last few chapters.

You should post a link to your complete story on GA over on Nifty, it might entice some more nice guys over here. Or perhaps that's what you already did?

Ok : ) ... They're main characters in an MTV series called "Teen Wolf" (yes, I know)... They have absolutely great chemistry, and if at the begining they aren't "friends" by the end of season 2 you can tell that Derek ( the bearded one) has fallen for Stiles... I mean,  they aren't canon but is obvious that's where the relationship was going, but appears that "the powers that be" shut down any canonical proof  : ( (SPOILER ALERT: one of them leaves the show at the end of season 4, and this november start the 6th and last season)
