Jimmy....or Jack?

Fu<*ing hot!! 🔥🔥 Mo Guan Shan is a lamb willingly being led to the slaughter. He’s so into his own attraction and feelings he doesn’t realize that He Tian’s interest in him is genuine. I think He Tian’s attraction to Mo is stronger but that is evening up really quickly. This is good, Laura.

I pouted when I saw the “complete” designation on the story but I understand it was time; I can’t remember the last time I pouted, 😆. The epilogue was exquisitely touching. Drake and Jimmy went through hell to be this happy and it’s deserved. There were moments that took my breath away (the red lilies to plant and bloom as a reminder of the day they got engaged). It was wonderful to see Drake’s parents back together and owning their failings and doing their best to make up for it, as well as the coming together of his whole family. Jimmy Dean is fucking perfect!! But you know what? One’s partner is a reflection of oneself and after Drake Richmond (love the symmetry of his names together) got over his biggest hurdle I know he’s been pretty fucking perfect too. Happily Ever After doesn’t mean there won’t be fights or challenges but these two soulmates will get through anything together, for better and for worse, in good times and in bad. My skilled, sweet, sensitive, platonic friend, you done did good!! 😘 🍺 💝

The end?!?!?! 😳 I guess it must come but I must say, this is a world that is so pleasant to visit.

I wish you peace.

Your writing Abo’s funeral not too far past from Liz’ rings true to real life-it often happens that death has a season (the saying I grew up with was that “death comes in threes”; As I got older I’ve heard “death comes in threes and sevens” & I have seen the threes and up, never seven, thank God). Your deep connection to these characters and excellent writing skills was a guarantee you would handle this with the depth and sensitivity it deserves and you did.

So Daniel is a fucked up kid who tortures those he loves and hates anyone or anything else in his way. Henry is a fucked up prick who is either obsessed with Artie or just plain psychotic or a sociopath, I can’t tell which yet. I like Artie but I’m not liking how dimwitted he’s coming across. Has he had some previous trauma, besides what Henry did? I’m picking up a definite fragility about him from this chapter. Maybe something to do with his brother. Well, I’m caught now. I normally don’t like psychodramas but the story definitely intrigues me. *reluctantly fastening my seatbelt*.

A very hot opening to the chapter; Me likey. It seems Daniel is fixating on Arty (“Nice Daddy”/“Old Daddy?!?!) and wants everyone else out of the way; Me no likey. Yes, I saw the tags for the story and the title of the next chapter 😳 but I’m hoping it ends with Jack & Arty still together with Geil. I’m not thinking Daniel will stick.

Impressive.

Andy is paying a huge price for a lapse in judgment. My sympathies are strictly with him. I can’t foresee any good results from an interview with Bob (some “friend”) and Tyrone; Mrs. Dewsbury and that whole lot need to fall into a hole in the ground (or back to the alternate universe they live in) AFTER they straighten things out for Andy. At least Jazz gets a CD. Woo Hoo.

I can relate. Only a fine mind can relay this, one who has come through the other side. Thanks and Congrats. 🎉🎁 🍺

The lyrics are from an R&B song called “Love Makes things Happen” by Pebbles.

There is a saying that when man plans, God laughs. You think you know exactly how your life will turn out? Read this story. You think you know who you’re supposed to be with? Read this story. The other half of your heart doesn’t have to look like you or sound like you, they just have to love you; All differences fade in the reality of true love. I don’t know if Laura was trying to capture that here but capture it she did. In case you couldn’t tell, I think “Collateral” is an amazingly good read. Thanks again, Laura.

“🎤🎼I'm tellin' you love Boy makes things happen You never know where it's coming from You never know who you're gonna love I'm telling you love makes things happen You never know what you're gonna do When ever true love takes hold of you....🎼” ❤️💝🌈 Thank you Laura, so much for the beautiful, happy ending. They would make beautiful children together. *sigh*.

It made sense, very intriguing.

Andy and Marcus❣❣ ❤️❤️ How ironic (and wonderful) that a story that started with "I'll never ever forgive you!" wound up being about forgiveness. So amazingly touching and absolutely beautiful.

Andy and Marcus❣❣ ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Tho I don't share it, I respect the expression of your opinion. I do share your use of the word "dunderhead". 😊 An oldie but a goodie.

I bet. That gets a ha ha & a love ❤️ Going back to the story-it impressed me when I realized Drake & Jimmy's connection was so strong without them ever really having sex; Of course I know it's possible but the intimacy between them made me believe otherwise. Tho Jimmy's experiment with Victoria was an extreme way to do it, I loved that he recognized he was attracting (and attracted to) the wrong type of guy and decided to make a change. It is a daunting realization that your instinct draws you to self destruction instead of self love. (I am pot and kettle on that and am still fighting the fight). 😳😏 It makes Jimmy's steadfast faith in he and Drake more touching.

"Seen" or participated? Bet it was gold medal performance. 🏅

Indeed. Timing is everything. 😉

Where love exists, there is always a chance. No matter how small it is, you have to take it. This was a beautiful, well deserved happily ever after, Gary.

I also love how Klaus' staff (Thompson and Agnes) take a shine to Jake. You can tell that is a rare, if not unheard of before occurrence. Klaus' cock blocking was humorous, too.

Daaaaaaammmmmnnnnnn!!!!!!!! Jake turning the tables on Klaus was hot!! I'm very surprised Klaus let him. Even tho it was hard, rough, straight out fucking, the passion between them transcends the physical so much, it felt like they were making love, too. They are good together in every possible way. “No one has ever made me feel like this,” he managed, letting his body be pillaged. “Of course not,” Jake answered and grabbed him by the nape to bring him closer. “No one has ever loved you the way I love you." One more chapter, huh? I'm sad about that but very curious to see what path you're going to set our boys on. Well done, Laura.
