I’m glad you are feeling better! Powerful background info on Matt and good to know Thomas’ childhood was normal and stable. I’m honestly going to need to reread the last chapter to better understand and remember why Thomas is so insistent on Matt pursuing counseling. Thomas really loves Matt and Matt knows it though. It was also a big step for Matt to cry and reciprocate that deep emotion.
Wow, this was the saddest Matt and Thomas chapter so far. That's partly from reading about Matt's early life, but also because I was hoping these two could work things out and now, I not seeing that happening even with the later meetup at Brandon's loft. Thomas is being so wise and sensible right now about this situation. Matt, he's so damaged from his past he can't process any of this properly and that list of names isn't the answer. The answer is in Matt realizing who he really is and openly admitting it. Not all stories have a HEA, but if this one is to have that it definitely looks like it's up to Matt to make it happen here. Great chapter!
Well, I can promise you there will be a happy ending but it will take a lot
Goddamn.
So glad you’re feeling better. Take care of yourself. Thanks for the gut-wrenching chapter, lol.
This is nowhere gut-wrenching, unfortunately. I was genuinely crying when I was writing 44th and 45th. But I am nearly at the end, and I think it was worth it.
im having mix feelings about this. I know that the reality is hurt people will hurt people. but I guess ive reached my limit when it comes to stories using a character's trauma for them to act like an asshole
i know that's the reality. that is the lived experience of some people but to also read it in a story can be exhausting sometimes
But i will continue reading it since there's a promised happy ending. I just want to say that it can be an exhausting read to someone who is actually going through something rn and just wants to read some good smut lol
this is in no way criticizing your writing ability. it's actually quite effective if it makes me feel some type of way i guess
Wow… ayosiswriter thank you for such thoughtful feedback.
I know what you mean, I had this problem/feeling a few times when I read something impactful, and for you to consider my stories as such is a huge honor.
There will be a happy ending, but I should warn you that this story is indeed one of those rocky roads and there will be a lot struggle until we reach the finish line. So please approach this wisely.

I will start posting now Why Him of All People?! On my patreon its nearly reaching the end of the first part and It’s a bit more easier to read since it’s vanilla and the main protagonist is thoughtful, loving, old-fashioned, loyal guy, but there will be also few struggles along the way as conflict in stories is very important for protagonist to grow…
.
If you decide to continue reading this story I hope you will enjoy it, but health comes first and I have dropped stories when they become too hard for me to read, so I believed you will decide what’s best for you
im still going to continue reading it because im already invested in it. i loooove thomas as a character and im curious on how your gonna end it. hope you continue writing 🫶🏼
The second book is nearly done now on my Patreon, I posted yesterday the 51st chapter and I believe it will have 55 in total. Feel free to check it out here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/79544836
I am crying my eyes out! They so need each other. Keep writing so good thank you.
