Chapter 17 -When Will comes home to Escorial. "California" by Phantom Planet

He hasn't visited this website since last October, it seems like. Hopefully he's alright. I think he's probably is. Honestly, internet dropoff is pretty common, especially on a board that's like sixteen years old. I still miss seeing Blue post, but it's been like 5 years. Personally I think he's fine as well. The one that really worries me though is a guy that used to post here, a very long time ago. We're talking like "Obama was a new president" long ago. We were close to the same age and he was a CAP fan. I'll call him Aidan. Aidan was a college kid struggling with a variety of mental and physical health issues, not to mention being closeted and all that. He abruptly stopped posting here in late 2009. I really hope he's good and happy wherever he is, but it's a reminder that internet relationships just can't be like offline ones, because if something happens to someone you know in real life, you'll find out, whereas in an e-friendship, something can happen and you'll never know. Or nothing happens and people just moved on and you still will never know.

Chapter 15 -When Will realizes that Connie lied, and steals his jacket to get his attention. "Blue Monday" by New Order or "What Is Love?" by Haddaway Pick either one. I couldn't decide. -When Connie gets mushy with Will. "If You're Not the One" by Daniel Beddingfield I knew I was going to use this one. Just needed the right moment for it, but there hasn't been a moment this sentimental in CAP for awhile. Will generally avoids the flowerly emotions now compared to the 14-year old Will, and JJ seems to loathe sentimentality like the good little WASP boy he is. -When Will and Connie end the chapter making up in a really fun way. "Can't Get You Out Of My Head" by Kylie Minoque

True.

Chapter 14 -When Will wistfully thinks about Connie. "I'll Never Find Another You" by the Seekers -When Will has sex with a sales boy. "Dress You Up" by Madonna

There's never been a CAP character more suited for New York City than JJ. LOL.

While we wait, let's sit back and imagine Corbin rocking out to some Taylor Swift. This isn't really a 2008 song but apparently it was a song that Taylor Swift wrote for Fearless but it got rejected by her studio. God though, this would've slapped in 2008.

I really don't want to be presumptuous about your background but there is so much you have nailed about growing up in a chaotic, troubled household and the way it effects you trying to survive it. You are always waiting for the other shoe to drop and for people to let you down because your parents never came through for you. Kevin essentially setting up this romantic visit with Becker as a goodbye makes so much sense within the context of a guy who does not expect people to stick around. It also makes sense that he feels so deeply for Becker but Becker never really realized it because Kevin is so guarded. Your work is so nuanced and interesting.

Private Tim isn't a CAP character, but director Christopher Landon (yes, of THAT Landon parentage) is how I pictured him. Can't you just see this guy doing preppy sports at a preppy academy in The OC during the 90's and then growing up to become a handsome lawyer who fosters gay teenagers? Landon also comes from a conservative (for California) family. My alternative Private Tim picks are Chad Allen or Ricky Schroder.

Chapter 13 -When Stefan watches his grandson engage in a threeway. Because of course he would. "Milkshake" by Kelis -When Connie and Will set down to a romantic dinner. "Lady Lady Lady" by Joe Eposito -When Connie and Will acknowledge that their fling is coming to an end. "Angel of the Morning" by Merilee Rush I somehow managed to rep three different decades in these recs. Nice.

Chapter 12 -When Will and Connie get on the yacht and enjoy the sights. "Superstar" by Jamelia -When Will and Connie watch the sunset on the yacht. "The Name of the Game" by Abba -When Will and Connie go snorkeling. "Island in the Sun" by Weezer -When Will meets up with Stefan and JP, getting to introduce him to his new Australian friends. "Tu Es Foutu" by In-Grid

Yeah, we're at a point in the story now where 80's music has officially become nostalgic and "cool" again, while 70's and before are "classic." Meanwhile I'm avoiding 90's music. It's not yet cool again. LOL. But yeah, if you think about it, Will's kind of a male Bette Davis- magnetic, strong-willed, and direct. Kind of like a hurricane but in a good way.

Chapter 11 -When Will and Connie engage in some sexual release after the snake plot is revealed. "Bette Davis Eyes" by Kim Carnes I somehow never used this one until now. LOL. All these years. Not even during Be Rad or Man In Motion. -When Will and Tom get high and scope out the area and hang out. "Touch of Grey" by the Grateful Dead -When Will and Tom kiss each other. "Sweet Jane" by the Cowboy Junkies

Chapter 10 -When Will analyzes his relationship with Zach, and decides that he's really, really, really over him this time. He promises. "I Am the Highway" by Audioslave -When Will and Connie fly over the sacred Australian landmark Uluru. "Land Down Under" by Men at Work -When Will and Connie walk around the sacred Australian landmark Uluru. "Sprit of Uluru: Australian Aboriginal Music"
