ahhhh i hope next one there is no ash

OH GOD I NEED MORE this cliffhanger is killing me….. i love this story so bad

He’ll do it!!! Isn’t it? He’ll open up early this time, that’s the alternate ending, that’s the right ending for his version. Coz that’s what he would have wanted to do all along, wanted to be together with Andy earlier. This would be like the story how he wanted it to be!!!

I'm so in love with this story. You are the queen of slow-burn, and I bow down to your brilliance.

Excruciating. But I keep coming back for more.

I feel torn apart

I love this story and I hope there is another chapter. I want to hear how it went when he found Andy. I want details about their meeting and how things went for the next few years. I just want to keep reading about these men. Thank you for sharing these stories.

oh shit oh shit oh shit oh shit oh shit oh shittttt

I can't stop smiling. I just can't. I'm deliriously happy. This is such a wonderful gift for the characters. They already fucked it up for a long, long, LONG time in Unrequited, so now they get to be together sooner, as a treat.

Even more, I applaud West for choosing the void. Even if there was no Andy in there and he had to face this fear of being alone. I'm proud of him.

Goes without saying, but i can't wait to read what's next.

So it feels like this is the alternate branch in the road - the one he didn’t take in the Unrequited version of the story. While this has still been strewn with 4 wasted years of missed chances, unread signs/signals, and misplaced passions with other people which have caused deep hurt and dire heartbreak, I hope this replaces many more years of pain and dishonesty - where there’s no marriage to Ash, there’s no years of self-loathing and whoring for Andy, there’s no pain-filled paintings of eyes that get painted over, there’s no Paul and there is only West and Andy - admitting their love, devotion, and instead longing for each other as lovers, best friends, partners, and soulmates. Can’t wait for the next chapter!!! So very well done.

Ah, and there you have it. Using your words, saying how you feel (even if it is confused) really does help. Yea West! I am crossing my fingers Andy is on the other side of that void. But even if he is not, it’s better to end a relationship that isn’t the right fit even if you love that person. You did an exceptional job describing someone with significant anger problems that gets away with it because she’s hella sexy, intelligent, beautiful, fun, vivacious and loved. But at the end of the day, Ashleigh is still an angry woman.

Brilliant!

Go, West. The double entendre! Like c'mon that is some beautiful writing over there. Please give us the pleasure of enjoying them both in the coming chapters. I would love to see them grow and have those kids! These 2 may just be my favorite characters of all time.

Oh my God! What a cruel cliffhanger!!! I pray you're not teasing us and he's not going to get back with Ashleigh! Seriously can't wait for the next chapter! Eek I'm so excited!!

Love it! Sure hope the two guys get together and have wild & crazy sex as they start their post-college lives TOGETHER!

Finally!!!

(Loved this installment/ and cliff hanger )

Are the 2 different paths West talks about, different paths he chose in each story?

The Safe path for Unrequited and The Unknown for Requited.

I love it!

Well damn! Just when I thought the story couldn’t be better, or told better you drop this one in us. This chapter was amazing, I always knew that West as well as Andy was scared of loosing one another but this just gave it a whole new Dimension from West. I’m interested to see how West handles Andy’s spiral and how, he copes remembering unrequited. You’ve done such an amazing job in portraying West’s struggle, am so looking for the next chapter, thank you for sharing this with us,.

after reading this again it's pretty obvious that the change in the story is West going inside the gay bar. He never put a foot inside in Unrequited. His thoughts after the gay bar scene pretty much proves this:

"I think about Matt on the bus on the way home. I think about him over the vacation. When I think about him, sometimes, I get a strange sense, that I was meant to meet him. That meeting him was a big deal. That somehow, the fact that I walked into that bar, instead of just standing outside, is important."

You're spot on. In the alternate reality, he just stood outside the bar and didn't go in ;)

@herdirtymind

I wish that scene was in Unrequited as well. It would've been so nice re-reading Unrequited and having a scene like: West, completely drunk, telling Andy that he almost walked into a gay bar.

Does unrequited still exist, has it been deleted? Or am I being a idiot that can’t find it.
