This story is a work of art, thank you so much.
And the overall theme could be turned into a book.
So, the big question is, is this the end or do we get to meet the perfect woman?
I kind of hope it is Colleen, though.
Phantaztique.
The only downside is that this chapter may be winding up.
Great characters.
Wonderful ending. If you had another chapter to show who's behind the door, I wouldn't mind, however this is a great place to end the story as well.
Please. Please tell me we get a Chapter 12. I need an epilogue to this like I need air. Following this story (and a couple of others, at least one of which you are also writing) is one of the reasons I made an account on this site in the first place.
Aww, cliffhanger! Such a great story with fleshed out Characters who don't all feel like cookie cutters or porn placeholders. Bravo!
Chapter 12 marks the end of this particular If I'm Honest story, although I may revisit the concept at some point again in the future. The finale's been up on my Patreon for several months now, and will be out publicly within a month or two.
It occurs to me that you could end the story right here, and it would work.
I hope you don't, but you could.
This, like so much of your work, has been delightful, and it pains me to have to make the tiniest criticism of work that has been given me for free, but... The word is "bated." You wait with bated breath, as in "abate." "Baited breath" sounds like...well, unpleasant.
I am more than willing to believe that this error, like that of people who can't spell "piqued," is a result of a Spellcheck fiasco, but we are responsible for the work of our tools.
Again, thank you so much for the gift of your work.
I could honestly see several directions after this chapter. You could do a prequel in a way, telling how Deke's chosen one came to him, and all about her, or go the Harvey route and continue the story of his next user. Honestly, i would love to see both, as i enjoy your stories immensely but i also understand there is only so much time in a day. As long as you keep writing, there are many of us out here willing to read, as I've found your stories are always both creative and entertaining. Thank you
First I was "Arrrrg, cliffhanger!"
But almost immediately I realized I would be perfectly satisfied if this were the end.
It had been a great story, and could have ended just there.
As it turns out, of course, there's one last chapter where All Is Revealed. :)
I loved this story. Perfectly in my wheelhouse.
Lovely plotting, lots of call backs a joy from start to finish
So this is it. I feel sad that Harvey and Derrick are parting ways but this is kind of like Yugi and Atem parting. Being together made both of them better people, and they parted on good terms after making both persons better than how they were when they first met. Let's see who is Derrick's soul mate.
