Oh, yes, he is I love your explanation. There's a lot of projection - from all sides - and since Lyn is too busy self-controlling his own to the extreme, there's little he can spare to observe and see Alexander. And yes! They're very similar

As you might know by now with me... I'll leave clues, but hopefully I will not fall into the habit of hitting you over the head with them. I'm sure my very astute readers will pick on them, even when they're going to be only partial clues.

Funny how some people find Alexander perfect, while others called him certain names such as 'selfish', 'a real piece of work'... He's something for everyone, lol!

Hmm, hmm, maybe... But even college-version Lyn will evolve in his attitude toward Alexander. His current attitude is more related to the way they broke up - the three of them, than with their history together as a whole.

Oh, so many things in this comment that I must address... let's hope I don't miss anything vital. Lyn is set in his ways; he believes he knows what's what, so Alexander's actions... well, they mess up the order he chose for himself, including his unrequited crush. I really love the way you commented on the 'domestic scene' - it's really making me glad and proud of my writing when people go so deep into what I write, even if these are only fictional characters, and this is just a story. Yep, not a performance. It's real, and Lyn knows it, no matter what he might say out loud. Well, about Brad... I think it's safe to say that he's the one who's going to hold on to his mask the longest. Lyn might have been crushing on him - in the past - but now he's close to Alexander. Besides the physical spatial and time limitations, there are others in the way. I'm sure you will get more confused by Brad as time passes, but I also like to think that you'll notice clues that Lyn will turn a blind eye to. Brad will remain a mystery, I'm sorry! For a while... but I also like to think that when he reveals himself, you'll consider him just a flawed human being, but not one to hate. Not answering the last question

That's quite the theory there, @Philippe You are correct that Alexander is very proud and wants to be pursued by Lyn. For anyone who believes he's perfect... isn't having too much pride a flaw?

Yes, that should be obvious for everyone, except Lyn.

Well said...

So true! Only Lyn perceived it differently... let's see if he can still deny it now.

Due to their history together - which, of course, at this point, the readers don't know yet - Lyn might be in his rights to consider Alexander a tease and nothing else. Their usual familiarity didn't have such a component in the past, so Lyn is a bit at a loss here... but have I mentioned Lyn is an unreliable narrator? I think the readers will get to know and understand Alexander pretty well (and before Lyn who's the main character).

Chapter Eight – [Memory, Freshman Year, November] – The Usual Letdowns Lyn dragged his feet in an absurd attempt to make his trip take longer; if he were to employ the logic behind Zeno’s paradox, all motion was an illusion, which meant that he might not arrive home tonight or ever. But, of course, no matter what philosophers from Ancient Greece had to say about the way humans perceived their reality, the limitations of the physical world he lived in were fine and dandy. And now, he wa

Thank you! And love the gif!

That just sounded very flattering for the author!

All at the right moment... I promise!

Someone knows me too well! Yes, it's never so easy with me... no, no, no (and I just imagined repeating the 'no' in Astarion's voice (character in the video game Baldur's Gate 3 - a vampire, but damn so sexy and well, so very pansexual))

Now you guys made me regret giving Danny the unbreakable condoms, lol!

Well, Anton, you do make a fine point. And that bite will come

Thank you for the wonderful comment! Yes, I do imagine Ryder speaking like a true gentleman... and he is one, regardless of his rough appearance. Danny's true nature will resurface, and it will be at a glorious time (I'm talking action here, real action)

I guess I really did mess this one up!

I officially apologize for the sturdy condoms! But it would make a good commercial... The crisis starts now (I just posted a new chapter)

Okay, I feel like there's an inside joke here...

They are indeed! And readers deserved the nice loving chapters...

I guess so! Damn, I've become predicable! Or was I always....

Chapter Eighteen – True Alpha They were both counting the seconds. Danny knew that a good way to spend their anxious waiting would be to stare at a clock on the wall, but he didn’t have any such thing in his tiny apartment. Therefore, they were left with the self-imposed torture of checking their phones now and then. Ryder had a dark look on his face. That wasn’t the face of someone who was about to meet his fated mate soon. Danny still couldn’t think of those words without feeling th

I believe it is more about portraying family drama with the purpose to get people to avidly watch. There are so many shows that thrive on this drama thing. I personally can't watch them. First of all, because it's all staged, and second of all, because I can't stand watching conflict for too long without getting increasingly uncomfortable. But it's this sort of thing LiveFeed goes for. They don't even think too far. Wencel is the one who wants Jamie to get a bad rep. The show wants someone with enough drama to make people watch. But also... yes, Jamie will be - in the eyes of many - the guy with a certain type of family, the guy who strips for cash on camera... all of that. How many people would care to know him beyond that? They'll be satisfied with the labels offered. it's how the world works, whether we like it or not. As for your guess... well, don't tell anyone (imagine me whispering), but I believe we have a winner
