Can't tell which duo is more coniving and about to take over the world- Esme and June or Laurel and Iris. Haha :)

I agree with Will that there are just some things you don't want to know about your siblings.

That said he should listen to Ian because it's really never too late until the other person dies. Ian and Will are good for each other. Christian and Marin simply represent what they think they need/should have... But it's not like Ian and Will are as happy with their current partners as they are with spending time with one another.

Yay \0/ so happy you updated(wish I could give you some of those candy Will is oh so happily munching on).The part when kids were talking amongst themselves was so funny and cute,only if deciding your sexuality was as easy as choosing what you prefer fruits or vegetables,would make a lot of people's life easier;). When you write about these events,let me tell you all of them are equally wonderful to read.The story becomes all the more appealing because of all the cool and easygoing ppl surrounding Ian and Will.It makes me really sad to think the story will end by 20 chapters Ugh TT.I can't.
Lots of love Selah and yes you and your story hold a special place in my heart<3 too.

Got my computer back for a few...so now I can reveiw better. :)

I was amazed at Will's performance at his "best Halloween ever" (I'm paraphrasing here since I don't remember his exact thoughts), party in 2000. I could close my eyes and pretty much imagine him there "making love" to that chair. lol What a performance! =) Ian was dumbstruck. Or starstruck. lol

Coming back to the present, Clarke, Paul, and Ben are certainly secure in their masculinity that they can openly acknowledge their 'man-crushes'. And they didn't even have to THINK of them!

This was another amazing chapter, Selah!

I'm so sorry to hear about your brother and the loss of his home due to the tornado, and your grandmother's illness. My mom died from that, exactly one year after she was diagnosed. She was only sixty-four.

I had to Google fur-child! lol I'm so glad your fur-child is better! I had to Google Addison's also. It sounds horrible. How would a pet get this?

Ok, one more chapter and I'm all caught up! :)

Dammit, Selah! I can't believe you left it off there!

What happened when Will went w/Ian to see his grandfather? I remember a chapter or two ago Will had asked Ian what was going on w/him. Are they both contemplating the same thing?

Darren sure turned out to be a strange one. Lol

Totally loved the present-day Halloween party Christian put on! I was totally on the edge of my seat thinking he really did fall & there were really Harry P dementors killing people. Lol What an excellent imagination Christian has! :)

Ok now that I'm all caught up, I'll be stalking the site praying for an update.

This is such a fantastic story, Selah!

Oh I did notice a typo: hor d'ouerves was misspelled. I'm not sure if this is the correct spelling b/c I don't have my computer right now.

And I never heard the term 'cuppa' in the states. Only in BE. :)

Ahaha!According to my phone,I've read about one fifth of chapter 9,but I couldn't help it!I just had to say something!*mad cackle*Clarke reminds me of Troy from Community especially now that he's black and all!Thinking about it now,they all kinda remind me of Community people!And Ben's the Dean!lol!

Hahaha!Clarke was bloody crying for Paul's demise but his wife is like 'Yeah,fuck him the bloody idiot.He was a burden anyway...'

Oh!And congrats on the perfect timing!How it's Halloween and everything!If I didn't know any better I would've said you had purposefully postponed writing this chapter so you could post it on Halloween!

Back to reading the rest!

Chapter 5: still don't have my computer. And as I said yesterday, I never review on my phone. This ionly goes to show you how FANTASTIC this story is!!!!!

I just love the detail you put into everything: the way the dance goes, the way the studio is decorated, etc. You have such a great eye for detail!

So I was going to ask if Marin was British (I had momentarily forgotten she comes from London), b/c she calls take-out take-away. Lol Oh I did see one misslelled word: isle is aisle. I think the only 'isle' would be a reference to an island.

Ok on to ch. 6. Plesae excuse any typos. If my kid ever relinquishes MY computer (his is being fixed), then I can write lengthier reviews. :)

Selah - I am so, so sorry to hear about your illnesses. I hope you are feeling better now. If it's any consolation, you write terrific when you're not feeling well. And I find myself with Googling all these cool words I didn't know! You have some vocabulary, Selah! :)

I loved the fact that both Will & Ian felt such joy over their humorous bantering. Just like old times. I'm looking forward to reading about the Halloween party - I bet Christian is going to sense something not all platonic about Will. Lol

The Halloween chapter part 1: hysterical Halloween party at the gay bar back in 2000. Heady & Fifi were priceless. Lol Loved the Homeo & Dudliet!!! Lol

I really love the fact that they each feel so much for the other but neither has ever acted on it.

Oh and I meant to comment on one of your responses to a review way back when when the reader brought up the fact that Will is so comfortable being physical w/Ian (in college). You mentioned your twin brother & how he loves hanging w/his gay friends b/c he can be himself & he doesn't have to act all manly like w/his straight friends. I thought that was great. I love straight guys who have no problems kissing or cuddling w/other guys. My oldest son's bff from high school is gay & he would cuddle up with all their friends after a party & just pass out w/one of them spooning him. It was the cutest thing. :)

Ok on to Halloween part 2.

Chapter 8 )
Oh my DEAR LORD that is a loooong chapter!!!Not that I'm complaining or anything...

Ah it's been so long since you last updated and I've forgotten like 60% of what happened.I mean I remember Will,Ian and Christian-vaguely- but the rest I had to really think about who the are and what business do they have!

Oh Jesus tap dancing Christ!!!Willemina!!!I can just imagine the look on Ian's face!I seriously believed he was going to have a heart attack for a moment there!Yep.Will is really straight.Well,that's what *she* said anyway.

Awww...This story has heartache written all over it!I really really like Christian but this story is about Ian and Will and they have more chemistry with each other anyway but I can't help but feel saddened at the thought of Chris getting hurt in the end.

Well off to read the next chapter!
