Thanks for another great chapter. As always my friend, waiting for something good is always worth it. Don’t feel bad about leaving us all waiting, it was way worth it. Loved this, and I actually really like where you ended this part (though if you give us more, I will not complain). The most beautiful thing about this is how it illustrates that people are a bit off a mess, but at the same time, there is a character growth for Kevin in this chapter that, though it is obvious he is still growing, leaves him in a beautiful place storywise. Great job man! Hope you continue your Becker story;)

Was laughing so hard through most of this! Great to see an update=)

Just started reading this today, after having it in my followed stories since it came out. Have to say that I’m loving it! Great story, good progression, enjoyable characters, and love the writing style!

Such a good and emotional chapter!!! Great to read, as always=)

That last part had me laughing hysterically!

Feel you man, though as a reader I have to say I still find the story interesting. Maybe it's just the nostalgia of a great coming out story, sett around the same time I myself came out, bringing back memories of this "other" life. Though I don't know if I could manage to shear the crazy that was the life of my late teenage self, and I'd never want to be that age again, I appreciate you doing so. Either way, still love the stories. Great news, and, honestly, it didn't feel like filler parts. Had you not mentioned it, I would not have guesses. Felt more like he was working through some issues ofurt after Kevin left, and I'm quite intrigued to see how things play out in the aftermath of Becker having hooked up with Trip's friend. However you choose to post them, and whenever, I will appreciate them, and continue to look forward to reading them in the mean time, whether it takes you 5 days, or 5 year.

I totally get that. Being in my early 30´s, my early 20`s seem like a different life, almost like they happened to someone ells. Talking about Becker, are you getting any closer to updating that story? (even with the problems with being at a so different placed from the inspiration)

Only two more chapters, wow, I know you've said it's going to get reintegrated into 4 best years, but I'm going to miss the Kevin Malley perspective.

Would not put it passed them. After all a) Ali was hanging with "the wrong sort of people" by their standards when hanging out with Jamie. b) They had the letters that the dad "burned", making me think they were much more involved with the situation than one might first think.

Twists and turns, it’s getting more and more intriguing! Though I can’t help shaking the feeling that there’s more the car who hit James, like a link either to Ali’s father or, after reading this chapter, a link to his friends....

Great to see this back again. Another fantastic chapter. Wow, what a (anti)climatic cliffhanger 😂

Well, between your other story and how this one started I’m sure I will be😉👍🏻

First off, yay, you’re back! Secondly, love this opening. Can’t wait to see what else you’ve got in store for us this time!

Super cute

Hehe, well knowing the guy that loosely inspired Baker found love makes me happy. Knowing that gives me hope that we might still get to see him find some happiness in the book as well. Hehe, well fortunately for the kids in college now I do think most has it a lot easier when it comes to facing their sexuality than we did back then (god I feel old saying that, and we’re barely past 30). Though I started my coming out in high school I can still relate to Becker’s paranoia. The not being ashamed but still not wanting people to know. It took me a few years to fully come out and come to the point were I would say I find myself relating to Ryan. Open and doing what I want because it’s nobody’s business. Looking forward to the next chapter to see what you got in store for us man!

Awesome, glad I could be of some help. I’m on chapter 3 now, and I have to say I really like the progression of the story so far. Good job.

Hi, just starting to read it, and so far I like it. It’s cute and I’m looking forward to reading the rest. Though I do have one comment. You do realize that Slavic is not a language or country but rather a language group, right? Examples of Slavic languages are among others Russian, Ukrainian, Slovenian, Slovakian, Lithuanian and Polish, and though they are closely related they are still quite different than one another. From the phrase you are using I believe you mean to say that it’s Slovakian (Or Slovak as they themselves call it) but I’m not familiar enough with all the Slavic languages be quite sure. Sorry if I come over as nitpicking, but just thought I’d point it out so you can correct it=)

Yha, it was some of those things I kind of picked up on. But you know, one can never be sure until the writer unveils it, point of proof Baker being straight. I was kind of shipping Becker & Baker as one of my main ships at the moment. Guess that ship will never be, well, well. Hope Baker finds himself a girlfriend then, and same for your friend, he seems like to good of a guy to not experience love. Think you made the right call with including it to the story at this point, for not to mention the way you put it in there, was extremely satisfying as a reader. 😃 Yha, I like Ryan too, I see some of myself in him at that age. I kind of feel though that both Ryan an Becker represents the before and after one comes out for our generation. The freakin out about people knowing and then the not caring who knows cause it’s just a part of you, and you’re still one of the bros. Sorry, only meant that we got confirmed that he figured out Becker likes guys, not how much of it he’s caught on to. I guess I see what you mean, guess I just got to caught up in Becker’s narrative and paranoia.

Another great chapter! Going to try to not go in another one of my rants about how much I love these two stories and how well you show that one situation really has several different points off view. Instead I’m going to say how I had a little mini freak out over the two tie bits this chapter finely confirmed. 1) Rob and Ryan are doing it! Just WOW! My mind is blown! I’ve had My suspicions about Rob from the Becker story, but thought I was probably wrong, but just wow! And the “I’m just a little bit bi sometimes” comment. Oh my god! I laughed so hard! Heard that one a few times before... loved it. Wonder if we are going to discover any more closeted Iota Chis??? Hehe, like I don’t know... (coughing Chris Baker Coughing)... 2) We officially got confirmed that Ryan knows about Becker! You’ve hinted about this a few times but nice to get it confirmed. Though it leaves me wondering about why he threw that Kevin had slept with Austin Berkowitz in Becker’s face the way he did. Like was he trying to get Becker to out himself? Or tell him that he knew? Or just to hurt him for hurting Kevin(in Ryan’s mind)?

Hehe, well, whether it’s an if or not, still rooting for you! Awesome! Glad to hear we’ll still be able to look forward to updates on this for a while=)

Hehe, i bet! That might be part of why it’s so good. Cool, please give me a heads up when it gets published. Would love to buy and read it to support your writing and see what else you got up your sleeve. Looking forward to it, but no rush, enjoying this and atw, and have no need to see them finished anytime too soon.=)

Awsome to hear! Keep up the amazing work! You’ve really managed to create something that feels realistic. Looking forward to seeing what you have in store for us and things for Becker develops. (Happy to hear. Looking forward to seeing Connor again then) Have you thought about posting any of your other works? (Other than this and ATW)

Yay! Been waiting waiting for this for forever, and did not disappoint! Definitely worth the wait. Great chapter man. I think I’ve said it before, but this is on my top 5 list of stories ever, so always makes my day when I see that you’ve updated. You’re writing style is awesome. Now why do I think that Becker’s going to have his heart broken again when Kevin comes back? Looking forward to see if he is freaking out over he Ted thing in the next chapter, hehe... Hope we get to see Connor again, I kind of liked his character, there was just something to him. And I’m wondering how long it’s going to take Jordan before she grows tired and tells him to cut the bullshit because she knows. cant wait to see what more you have in store for us.

Fantastic as always. Hope this means there will be another chapter in Becker soon? As for which timeline, that’s kind of a hard question. I kind of love all 3 for different reasons. As we get to see more of Kevin’s side and background it’s getting harder to see where I originally hoped the story would end, with Kevin and Becker back together, don’t know if I’m still rooting for that now. I do know I’m not rooting for team Duncan though. Looking forward to the next chapter!

One of my favorite stories on here. Well written, emotional, funny and with complex characters. If you just stumbled onto it and are considering reading it, please do, it’s so worth it!
