I feel so sad for people that grow old alone, no family or friends. Hope Eric finds some joy.

Nice chapter. I feel sad for Erik, losing his family was hard on him. “I don’t want to leave.” and now it is out there, they just have to figure out what to do with it

Ok let's start with the end. I know Mike could be gay and in love with Teddy, some hints were there, but I hope not. I am with moggy, more afraid of nurse Nate, he seems very interested in the amazing Dr. Haner, lol. Now the parents...WTF? I know they also felt Ryder betrayal, but they can't blame all on him, what happened to them, they are so backwards now. And "a good doctor"? Really? Theodore is an amazing surgeon for God's sake! I feel that Teddy should have told them that he feels sorry for Oliver for not having the same parents he had, they are definitely changed (yeah, I know I am not that good in that forgiveness think, lol). The good thing is that after the fight and talk Teddy and Oli are closer. Hope that while Oliver gets closer to Teddy and away from Ryder adoration, he finds his own person, no Teddy, but no Ryder either.

Hot. And cool to see them falling from Charlie's perspective

Nice start, but why do I feel that it can go wrong? Playing with demons... Dangerous... And who will control Maxthane? I am sure Salidar doesn't want to trade a tyrant for another, and who knows how binding with a demon will affect Maxthane?

Oh Ace you're lucky, you got a virgin

Hey I'm trying I read tons of stories in this site that I didn't comment, but lately I'm trying to comment on what I read, this is free so at least is a way to appreciate the authors

Ok before commenting on the rest off the characters, I need to say something that I should have questioned 2chapters ago... What the hell is up with Mike? Does the police started to keep an eye in the graveyard and house, to avoid it being vandalized by some crazy that wanted a "bit of Ryder", or he went there for Ryder, knowing that he was back? Now I hoped you don't hate too much, I'm a romantic and really want to see them together in the end. However I think Teddy was very easy on Ryder, for what he did I think it would have been enough if he had said that if Ryder gets his shit together, they could talk civilized, and not like Dr/patient. He needs to understand what he did to Teddy. He talks about depression and bullying, how broken he is, and I know it is not the same, but that's what he did to Theodore, broken him, leaving the smiling, polite, amazing Teddy Haner totally alone, hidden among the crowd. I guess Teddy's talk with Blake is the most exposed he was in a while. And Teddy please talk to Oliver and maybe he will start understanding, he doesn't have to start hating Ryder, but maybe he might stop to worship him blindly

Wow, is Jake just drunk-talking, or is he really falling in love with Klaus? And Klaus was probably surprised with Jake statement that he will fuck him. I hope he does

Nice chapter. It will do Patrick good to know how much his mother was loved. Praying for Michael

Ss’merit... Definitely weird vibes, not sure if he is a bad guy or just over eager to help, maybe to clean his species name. But it is nice that Kohen are aware of him. And I liked Kohen first time thought about looking for the captain, even if only to ask for something to do... Maybe captain assistant?

As I expected, this chapter showed me that one of the people that actually should have grown up, Teddy and Oliver's parents, didn't. For all the caring and protective instinct they have (they were nice people anyway) them do put themselves in, or consider, Teddy's feelings. Of course I don't go explaining the mysteries of life to a 5year old, but when they saw 11,12, 13year old Oli become infatuated with Ryder's life, they should have talked with him. Thegood thing is that Teddy and Oliver had a decent conversation, and got closer. I don't know what is happening now Oliver's life, but he is not Ryder. He might like rock, be alternative and not very popular, but he does have house support and structure, which Ryder didn't. Finally I don't thing Teddy is being cruel, for all Ryder did, he is being very civil, he does love/hate him still after all.

The second part was hot and so cool to see Jackson balance his inner excitement with an cool external appearance of "boys being boys". But actually what I liked was to remember how amazing your humor through Jackson is "At this rate, I’ll be single the rest of my life, but I’ll have a very tidy house and and high honors on my high school diploma."

Oh damn, I don't think I knew. If you talk to him send him wishes of a quick recovery.

Ok I admit this was a strange chapter in the end, but they getting caught was funny. Now that I think about it, I am a bit suspicious of the adoption, like Rory, don't trust the parents. Still think Robbie needs a social worker, like the old man he talked to several chapters ago, to help him against Don.

Happy to see them together, although I still feel that Erik is still guarded, compared to Ryan, who seems more centered. Not that everything is about sex the journey of bottoming and making himself come apart, vulnerable, to Erik those years ago made him more secure about who he his. Erik might need to feel that vulnerability, that rendering up, to fully understand what he want in his life.

Oh God, I can't imagine what Teddy might be feeling. "I’ve been hurting for the past thirteen years. I’ve barely even been able to trust my friends." Just because he doesn't have a diagnosed mental problem or a drug addiction doesn't mean he is not broken inside. Ryder completely changed him, ruin him to his core, it might be hard for him to let go of the feelings and emotions that sustained him for 13 years. Of course from the previous book I loved Ryder and want him to be happy again with Teddy, but I don't it happening before he cleans up his act... And maybe there it might be too late (hope not...). Mike returned, hum? Maybe he and Teddy can connect again, although I hope he is not gay (yes I know that that could be an explanation for his poor behaviour towards Ryder) . Ok Oliver behaved a lit bit better than in the previous book and not a spoiled brat, although he is still a kid, with 13 he should start understand some things, instead of being an irrational Ryder's follower. Maybe Teddy should show him the letter Ryder wrote to him, perhaps Oliver would start to understand his brother. He might that they were just some summer boyfriends, and don't know or understand all the promises that were broken together with Teddy's heart. Does he know about the marriage proposal promise, or about Ryder's speeches in the firsts concerts? By the way, I don't know what "he’s going to be bigger than you and I ever could’ve dreamed." will mean, but I hope that Oliver is not musically gifted as well, that would be a bit cliche. Can't wait for the rest of the story

Actually, anyone knows if it is everything ok with @aditus?

Damn, was this supposed to be the lighter story? I feel so bad for Teddy, 13 years living like a zombie, running away from his past, always unhappy... And in the end Ryder had to live with his own choices, he became a rock God, but already lost the Messiah's bad. Teddy still living with his parents might be very hard, I understand Harry was excited with having a new kid, but I imaging Teddy's heart rip everytime he hears rock. And naming the kid Oliver (which is a great name) probably resulted that Teddy sees Ryder everytime he looks to Oliver's face, no wonder they don't get along.

DAMN RYDER!!! I so much hope that Brandon does the right thing and recognizes the signs of depression and tell Teddy immediately about this conversation. Ryder will probably try and do something stupid liked getting caught by the media hooking up with strangers or something. Teddy needs to be told of Ryder's plan beforehand.

Oh damn, poor grandma Sullivan... And Ryder will be devastated. His actions or quite silly, but I'm happy they talked in the end, they are both 17/18 after all, but slowly they are growing so much. Thanks @Aceinthehole for this chapter

yeah, Chris is a category by himself, but from the way the "evil Dr." was talking, I thought he was going to give something special to Ryan as well. I imagine that would be a desperate move given who he is, so the world should fear if he ever has the need to do that. Nice work

Ups! It seems that the Colossus are more sentient than we thought. For a moment I thought that the Dr. was going to give them something, like a special node, that would keep them connect to each other.

I am so proud of Teddy! I know Ace has it already written, but I am not sure there will be a big fall out of his behavior, with Ryder famous now, that would attract a lot of undesired attention.

I felt bad for Teddy for a moment, highschool was important for him, even if he felt alone among the crowd. That chapters was amazing, Ryder's surprise, and his fight for his beliefs.
