Awesome start! Love Project Zomboid! Looking forward to binge reading these next chapters during my breaks

I have my fan on but damn I’m sweating in here. The scene you painted was so intimate I almost felt guilty as I watched the two share their first time together. I felt like a perv but I couldn’t look away lol. Anyway, I’m officially putting “hot tent sex with a hunky cowboy, or two” as one of my bucket list because that was hot hot hot!!!

The only thing I dislike about this chapter is that it ended before we get to see the things they’ll be doing inside of that tent lol. The rest is just amazing. Coy finally giving in and voicing his feelings for Boone out loud was such a nice surprise. It was either going to happen soon or never at all, but when I began reading this chapter I wasn’t expecting for any of that to happen. I’m really happy for the both of them, but mostly for Boone. They both hit the jackpot, in land and in love. Well, that’s it. I was able to catch up on all 16 chapters within 24 hours. I’m going to eagerly wait for the next one.

Uh-oh, I hope 🍋 isn’t a future threat to the duo. Larkspur seems to have a good effect on our boys’ moods, so that’s a good sign. It’s also nice to finally meet new people, after having Boone and Coy as the only featured characters for a long time.

I was also laughing for a bit because I read the title of this chapter as Trailworm and was confused when I got to the end without a mention of some kind of worm haha.

I haven’t felt frustrated with these two for a few chapters and now I can’t help but feel we are all back to square one again. All the progress that happened during the trip to Larkspur dissipated once they were close to their destination, because once again Boone is in his self-preservation mode. He should stop pushing Coy away, has he forgotten the last time he did that to Coy? He almost died without him. Whether Boone likes it or not, he has to accept that he won’t be able to live without Coy and that Coy is his life long partner (or soulmate?), even if it’s just the platonic kind.

For a moment I was afraid that the dream Boone was having was a premonition of some sort, but it turned out to be nothing but repressed trauma and memories from that scary stormy night and the days that followed after. Religion is a tricky topic to tackle when it comes to our sexuality, and I honestly try to avoid thinking about it because as a gay man raised in a very Catholic family, I couldn’t help but hate myself for my ways and feel guilty about my choices. Religion makes me feel miserable so I will be honest, the religious themes in this story makes me uncomfortable sometimes. But I get why its inclusion is important especially on scenes that focus on Coy’s background and beliefs. Loved this chapter. Finally the boys had an honest conversation, a wonderful shift from the usual bitter and defensive exchanges they had from earlier chapters. I specially loved that it ended in an all night cuddle session initiated by Coy. Everything about this entry was perfect.

I totally agree with the other people on the comment section who deemed this chapter as drama-free. If this was a tv show this would have been a filler episode, but it was a nice to be able to breathe for a bit from all their issues, and I actually found myself relaxing as I read the whole chapter. On to the next!

The focus had been on Boone for the last few chapters so I failed to realize how horrible it had been for Coy to see Boone almost lifeless by the river. No wonder he looked like shit as well, he had been worried to death! He just lost his entire family, and he almost lost his best friend twice, so I really felt bad for the guy. The sheriff was a wonderful character. Oftentimes we do need the opinions and insight of the people who are from the outside looking in, and the sheriff being a very perceptive person made him the perfect instrument to kick some sense into Boone and Coy’s stubborn asses. I’m glad he decided to play Cupid and help reunite the two.

Yeah while I was reading the chapter 7 I was like, “I fucking told yah so, Boone” the entire time lol.

Oh yes you did very well with storm scene, and my heart absolutely dropped when Blue and Boone fell into the raging river. However, like what I said in my comment on chapter 8, the river scene scared me more because of an experience I had when I was younger.

I don’t exactly have a fear of water because I like long showers and taking baths, but I really don’t like the feeling and the sounds of being submerged in water. This is why I never learned how to swim. My fear of drowning isn’t random, it rooted from a time where my mom found herself a job within a cult and got us involved with them. They had this fucked up tradition where they go to the mountains for a week and baptize themselves by submerging their entire bodies in rivers and ponds multiple times a day. I was around ten then and I couldn’t swim, so the cult members would force me down into the water, and I ended up getting a stiff neck from all the flailing and struggling I did when they were “baptizing” me. I hated every moment of it. My mom, my brother and I left that cult eventually so I only experienced their week long ritual stuff once. Going back to the story, reading Boone’s experience during the storm was terrifying to me and it almost gave me flashbacks from that time. Boone got really lucky because he could have been seriously injured or worse, died. Obviously it wasn’t his time yet because there were still unresolved stuff between him and Coy. Coy appearing out of nowhere wasn’t surprising. For a few years Boone had been Coy’s guardian angel, so it was nice to see their roles reversed this time. Also, I was happy to see all animals made it out alive. If this was the Walking Dead or the anime Attack on Titan, them horses would be dead by now lol.

Boone had always had a gut feeling about others who were made like him. All it took sometimes was a split second look in a fellow’s eyes, and he knew. He didn’t know why that was, but he’d been proved right too many times not to trust it. Boone, honey, it’s called a gaydar lol. The exchange between Boone and the sheriff was interesting, it gave us all an insight as to how the people, or well at least how the sheriff saw and interpreted Coy and Boone’s closeness. He was definitely implying something, and he was obviously rooting for our pair. I wasn’t surprised that Boone was missing Coy. Men could be fucking stubborn but gay men? Fucking woe is me drama queens lol. I hope Coy changed his mind and was somewhere behind Boone’s trail, and with the events during the storm I really needed him to be following Boone all along.

Lol I totally agree.

The thing is from what I have observed, their relationship isn’t even toxic! It is actually beneficial for both of them. I understand Boone’s point of needing to move on from Coy emotionally and geographically lol, but I am certain he will just end up missing the guy if he pushes through because you know as the old saying goes, absence makes the heart go fonder. If Boone thinks he is hurting now, let’s see what a wreck he will be after a month of him not having Coy by his side.
