Interesting finish, although a bit of a let-down for me, to be honest. There wasn't much resolution. But, it's your story and you can end it how you want. I did love Harriet throughout, and the humor was top notch. I hated how Nicholas treated Richard throughout the story and felt bad that he and Stu became boyfriends despite him knowing how Richard felt about him.

Damn. Now I want to cry. Thanks for that @kbois. I felt like Miles was heading towards an unhealthy mental state when he got pissy with Troy about him spending time studying with Dutch & Jonah. Then, asking to be fucked so hard he'd feel it for the rest of his days was a dark foreboding of what was to come. Now, I'm worried about his mental state and how it will affect Troy's ability to focus on college. The shit definitely hit the fan. The story title is starting to come into view for many of us now.

Sky was masterful in his convincing argument and caused Brant to really examine his hang-ups regarding an on-screen throuple. I'd bet Harold has already started on the script. I thought it was rather smart & sweet that Sky also requested the same crew they had on LL so as to help them be comfortable filming more intimate scenes. Hector seems to be the likely choice.

My thoughts exactly!

For the purposes of this story and the movie, a throuple would be a definite challenge for Bransky to navigate but even more of a challenge to their private relationship and marriage.

Nice recap of the previous story with a tease of what all could happen in this one and I agree with my friend @dboggs9700 that the way you intermingle sizzle and plot is always welcome. And could Hector cause our heartthrobs some problems?

YES!!! I was hoping for a sequel about Hollywood's hottest couple and I love that they're married now. I'm definitely looking forward to this one! Thank you @KKirk ❤️

Vicky is awesome and should be commended for her fortitude and willingness to stand up for same-sex couples and singles like Richard. Harriet continues to shine with her willingness to try and wean Richard from his Nicholas addiction. Stu disappointed me in the way he folded in not appearing with Vicky. Nicholas had some nerve to look cluelessly at Richard in the hallway. The humor in this story is fantastic.

That part where Randy got hurt and immediately afterwards was intense and had me holding my breath. Such a sweet last scene though. Finally, the two lovebirds made a move.

Yay! Meg's alive, for now! And she won 1st place. Troy finally let his dad know about his desire to pursue art and Erik, though surprised, was agreeable with his decision. I know Miles doesn't think he wants to pursue higher education, but with his trust fund, why wouldn't he? I know our esteemed author has reasons for that, but it doesn't make sense to me. The boys finally got to fully consummate their relationship and graduated high school. A pleasant timeline jump again though.

Good for Richard for coming out to his mom and her taking it so well - his circle now knows and accepts him - that's positive. Harriet is freaking awesome - such an intelligent, well-rounded young woman who devised a fantastic "Nicholas Plan" and did a masterful job of enlisting Vicky & Mom to help Richard with his addiction. I agree with Vicky that Richard should take his self-portrait to school. i have a feeling Stu would be upset with Nicholas had he known he'd treated Richard like he has but maybe that's just wishful thinking on my part.

Easily one of my favorite stories all-time, especially on GA. This story has everything - family drama, twists & turns you won't see coming, life-altering circumstances. It captivated me from the beginning and held me captive all the way through. You will not be disappointed in getting wrapped up in this one.

What an absolutely beautiful ending to a fantastic story! The drama, twists & turns, love, and tragedy were all expressed with such fantastic storytelling. This chapter had me fearing for Julan once again and then snowballed into a pleasant, yet tear-inducing finale. I was in tears for most of the chapter and was so elated for Julian & Dean, but also for Aiden & Nathan. I'm in awe of your skills and can't praise you enough @vanalas for sharing this story with us. A masterpiece and one of the best stories I've had the pleasure of reading ever.

I didn't see the Stu-Nicholas pairing at all. I was mainly bothered by Nicholas's indifference when Richard stumbled upon them - "oh, it's just Richard" - WTF! Alcohol aside, you're perfectly fine with making out with the obviously out Stu but see Richard as lame despite him making an effort by going to the party with you. Maybe the self-portrait will serve as the wake-up call Richard needs. Nicholas is not a great judge of character given how he dissed Harriet - she's awesome.

Glad that Richard's dad reacted to his coming out so well. Vicky is definitely planning something bigger. Mom continues to be drunk most of the time. Nicholas is still playing games with Richard and avoiding him. I agree with the others - it's beyond time for Richard to move on!
