I guess now things appear convoluted, just when I thought I managed to make everything clear. Really sorry about that. Sometimes things in my head appear so well linked together. So I will try to explain what my lack of making it clear from the text of the chapter missed. The chain of events was like this: Carter jumps in front of the fire truck, saving Alex. Both end up in the hospital, losing consciousness. I guess it's a lot to think back to the first chapter, but Carter opens his eyes after a couple of days, and has the shock of inhabiting another person's body. During this time, Mark almost spills his tea, runs to the powers that be to demand Carter be kept alive. He states his case, by pointing out that what Carter yelled as he was saving Alex, that he wants Aron to be happy, would be denied since he would be dead. And then, practically, since Alex's guardian angel is away, and Carter's most ardent wish - and on the brink of death - is for Aron to be happy, the body swap takes place. And, as we know now, Carter does make Aron happy while being fake-married to him. Also, Alex's drama happens off stage, but the powers that be clearly sent his guardian angel to give him a lecture on what being a decent human being means. From Alex's punishment, and Carter's desire to make Aron happy, the idea for the body swap appeared. Please let me know if things are a bit clear now

Hey, thanks a lot for your comment. I want to believe that everyone involved, Alex included, learned something from the entire experience. And I'm glad I managed to make everything clear, as I really wanted to have all the accident shown in its most important details. About the story you're asking about, I will send you a message. After some deliberation with myself, I thought that it would be too loaded with sex to be published here, for the same reason I told @Wesley8890 and @fanlit. (How do you guys manage to make the other users' nicks appear in blue? Ugh, I'm technically challenged.) The story contains a lot of sex, way more than half of it, and if I still remember correctly, the guidelines here suggest that authors should keep at least an equal balance between plot and sexual content. But, I won't delay much after Box Shaped Heart is over, and I will come back here with another story! Since I can never keep just one storyline, I often work of at least two things at the same time. This one will definitely contain sexy times, as usual, but it will be far more balanced than the Fist to the Heart, as the 'boxers' story, as Wes coined it, is actually called. Thank you for being such a considerate reader! And see you next time, when the epilogue will be published!

Thank you! I guess that was my favorite part, too, lol! It was a fun ride and I'm glad you could join!

Hey, I'm so glad you enjoyed it! And since you had guessed so many times before some of the twists and turns of the story, I can only be glad that I still managed to surprise you! Thank you for being a consistent reader and commenter! Merci beaucoup, cherie, A tout a l'heure! (Just a way of saying that after this story is over, it won't take long until I will come back with another one)

Thank you! That was pretty much it! See you next time!

It was symbolic. And Mark knew he would take it I haven't really thought of a clear religious background for Mark. I'm afraid I'm a product of the times, as I'm not a religious person (although I am Christian Orthodox and I go to church sometimes) and I just imagined an angel like someone you would see on a TV show and nothing more than that. I'm sorry if you find my answer disappointing. I just had a sort of eclectic idea of Mark and I practically created him based on that. Thank you for reading!

You're definitely not the only one who thought 'heart shaped box' instead of 'box shaped heart', lol. And I thought I was so clever to have found an unusual title that people will have a hard time forgetting. I believe I worked against myself against here, he, he. I'm glad you liked the story and the characters. It's only natural to forget names and titles after a while. But you telling me that you liked it and that you always remembered it even by heart shaped box instead of the actual title, it still means a lot. Thank you for commenting and for liking Carter's and Aron's adventures!

Ah, I didn't mean to make you cry The epilogue will have something of what you want and lack something of what you want. Lol, I confused you completely. To reply your question, the answer is 'no' and 'yes'. He had to undergo the same treatment as Carter so that he doesn't run around trying to sell his story of body swaps and whatnot to tabloids, lol. Thank you for taking the time to read and comment on my story. And I hope you'll read my future ones, too! (But no sweat if you won't, of course)

I'm glad you were right Of course, he would continuously think about angels and whatnot. That would be a very Carter thing to do. And I'm glad you liked Alex a little, as well. Even though he was my little devil in this story, I felt guilty at times for making him appear so evil, lol. It was just necessary. I did a little Catch-22 with Carter being the only one to make Aron happy so he couldn't die! Ah, I can't make any promises about future fics with them. I'm not used to writing sequels, unfortunately. And my main issue is that I have multiple stories circling around in my head, so ... I tend to close a storyline, and then start another with fresh cast and everything. That said, I hope you will read my future stories, nonetheless! Hugs, and thank you for commenting on my story!

Oh, I'm glad you read A Good Servant and liked it. I knew it would be a bit too much for GA, lol. I don't want to push boundaries. They are there for a reason Pretty Perfect - I was sure I uploaded it here, on GA, too, as an e-book (it's a short story), but I don't think that section exists anymore ?! I cannot find it, or I would have sent you to it. I hope you'll like Fist to the Heart, too!

Well, 'ever' in human terms, actually means 'till death do us part', which I believe covers all the bases, lol!

Thank you, Thorn! Yeah, I often think that I made Alex a bigger asshole than what I intended in the first place. But I let the pieces as they fell. Ah, I'm afraid there won't be smut in the epilogue, either. The guys will have their hands full, you will see what I mean Thank you for being with me on this ride!

I just noticed this second comment. The story is called Fist to the Heart, and I'm afraid it's more or less 80% sex (it's basically erotica in the purest form, lol). I just got the first chapter out there, for now, and it's basically about a fighter and a beautiful guy who wants to book him to provide entertainment in his papa's ring. What story do you refer to about having read it? Pretty Perfect or A Good Servant?

Oh, dear godmom, I feel your sadness, and I thought it would feel like that, in a way. But after much deliberation with myself, I thought not to burden Carter with the knowledge of angels and all that He has, after all, the power to stand on his own and admit his love for Aron now. He, he, you noticed that about Alex. Yes, that's the correct answer Someone needed to give that man a good lecture. Believe me; he got it. As for the ponytail girl and her involvement in the story, it was only after I read an outraged article on people taking selfies at car crashes while paramedics try to save people's lives that I took this decision on her. It's chilling to think some people can be so disconnected from the rest of all humans to do that, but I realized that it would work for my story and it would not be considered hard to believe that someone would react like that in this day and age. It's sad, indeed, and that hardly covers it, how more in touch people are with their phones than with the humans amongst which they walk. I'm not from this phone obsessed generation, I can barely remember where I put mine most of the time, but I must admit that my mom didn't understand why I stood glued to the computer, either. (Until she learned to play Free Cell, lol. Then I had to find ways to get her away from the computer, he, he) Thank you so much for all the support you've given me throughout the story. It really means so much to know that I'm so appreciated. I hope that the epilogue will leave you with a big smile on your face, though! All the love, Laura.

I like how Michael is not self-important at all. The boy knows his shortcomings and that's not something you can easily see in someone of that age. I like the dynamics inside the group of friends, and Amy might be a bit too direct, but that doesn't make her less than a good person. Also, Michael being a little jealous of Julie ... hmmm (from the category of things that make you go hmmm....)

Thank you for reading and commenting! I'm glad the ending was to your liking!

Oh, Wes, you're so, so nice, I can't even ... always supporting me like this ... chapter after chapter. Ah, the story about boxers ... I suppose you know something, but that's not my next story here That one, in case you've read something about it, is a bit too sex loaded for GA, and I don't want to push the nice people running the website to tell me it's not suitable to be published here. We must be our own judges, after all But ... and here is a small secret I haven't told anyone to this point, I will have a new story here, but it will be about something else! (And now I whisper so that only you can hear me: it will be about a fitness guru and a perfect yuppie)

Plenty, just not of the sexy kind, I'm afraid, lol.

The chapter is up. Ah, ugh, I may disappoint you? But I hope what's in there makes up for that, lol!

Chapter Thirty-Four – Mints, Anyone? So what the hell was he going to do now? Had Aron called and he missed it or something? He checked his phone. No calls. Okay, he needed to see Aron. Wait, he needed to take a shower first. They were seriously going to have sex. If what the girl had said was true ... Of course it’s true. Now we remember everything. I’m so amazed how quickly you take credit. You said you had nothing but blank space in that part. But now we know. Yes, he

Ah, thank you for the detail, I missed it somehow.

Michael was a rather clumsy 'hero' in this one, but he's 14, I can forgive him. I think Loz would have the potential of being a complex character, but since I'm not the author and just the passenger, I will sit back and watch the show staged by the real 'master of puppets' My heart really went to Daniel at the end, in the scene with his mum. Somebody save this smol bean! 😢

I think I worry about Julie as much as her mother. I mean, I totally understand the mom and her need to protect. Also, Leigh! That girl is something. She gives good advice and she has already guessed Michael's secret!

It looks like Michael has his own struggles, which basically means that he and Daniel are alike more than they know at this point. I look forward to their coming together little by little

"falling in love with someone who doesn’t even know I’m there" I dare to believe that Michael already noticed Daniel But it's natural and very realistic for Daniel and his situation as it is, to believe that. I'm glad I'm starting to read this story. It will be a nice way to spend my breaks.
