Endings is a story that reflects all of life’s emotions and turmoils. Hank and Chase go to hell and back in their relationship and we take the journey with them, with all of its rollercoasting highs and lows. A wonderfully written story that deserves a read and a re-read, Endings had me laughing, crying and hoping in equal measure. Another success story from Headstall.

Well that was a rollercoaster for sure but I loved every chapter. I’m so glad these two saw there way back to each other and that there is a loving mother, father and friends all around, not to forget Rex. Thank you for this love story Gary.

As ugly as that final encounter was, I think it was important for Chase to go back to Endings and perhaps also for Hank to see him cast the idiot aside. At least, I hope shank saw that. As for Hank being at Endings in the first place, good move!

What an emotionally fraught chapter, but a good one. Chase and Hank still lean on each other. It sounds like Lilah was correct about Will. What a dreadful life for them both and poor young Hank getting it all wrong Hank has a habit of jumping to conclusions, which I hope he will now begin to rethink.

These two really do need a heart to heart. They both have a lot to forgive and get over.

What a cheerful chapter that was and big of Hank to make amends quietly, without fanfare. This does open the road to healing for them both and as @raven1 has said, it might be that they can move on or that they can leave an unequal failed relationship to begin a new wholesome one together. Let’s see which way the cookie crumbles.

Gary this was amazing. I loved the detour to Whitehorse. Childhood loves that turn into adult love stories at so precious. I’ve known one or two in my life time and I look on with unadulterated envy and pleasure for the couple. Dawson and Brent were made for one another. I loved this. And I love Amarok Motel!

A great chapter with Dawson following his heart and Chase holding himself together, with just a little bit of help from dad and Stacey. He is becoming independent and strong. 💪🏼

This is a very positive chapter. Dawson is taking a leap of faith and I support this. He is young enough to re-establish a career if it doesn’t work. Chase is able to contemplate a meaningful life without Hank, which is exactly what he would need, to have a meaningful relationship that is not one of dependency. Now if he and Hank do get back together it is as equals.

Agreed. I’m not so anti-Hank that I hope he is gone. I would still rather that Chase and Hank rekindle what they had and stupidly lost. Those long term relationships, of whatever nature, are immensely valuable.

Taggert tries to reign his feelings back in to secure the borders it fou like, but Ash is there, always there lurking on the edge of his mind. They battled to sleep but both took care of each other despite the exhaustion. They have so much to share and despite the danger I’m hopeful that they will take that step of faith in each other. Let’s see!

Well each of our trio is facing their own challenge, but we still are not certain what the outcome will be and to what extent they can learn from the past to influence the future. Wishing them physical and mental strength!

Hey @PrivateTim, good thoughts. My mother used to quote the “do or die” approach to my brother and me when we were kids. The role of purser was naturally attractive for crooks, and this hasn’t changed in modern business either. Whoever controls the money has the potential to become illicitly wealthy. Indeed, the fictional Granger is a progressive and clearly his views are in part a reflection of more current thinking. Although not unheard of, for the time, his approach would have been quite unusual, but I think Granger finds the balance between ensuring the wellbeing of his men, having their full support and issuing dictatorial orders, when needed, which are closely followed.

Another riveting chapter. Poor Theo is coming to understand what has happened and Vince and Jack still fight evil spirits in this past-present netherland.

I have fallen head over heels for these two. This is a beautiful story Gary. Thank you for writing it. Fletcher and August have taken a very brave move in declaring their love for one another, and I am really hopeful that one way or another, they will be able to share that life together that they dream of. ❤️
