Not much of Barlowen action in this chapter, but I definitely enjoyed it. :D I like the fact that Mark is so torn between loving and hating Rob, because that's actually how I felt when I got to know Take That from the documentary 'For The Record', which made me hate Robbie for his cockiness towards them all and Gary in particular. So yeah, if I had been Mark I would have pressed the same "erase" button on the e-mail. Well done, as usual ;)

I know there isn't much Barlowen action in this chapter. The whole area of Mark's feelings towards Rob (given his relationship with Gary) was something that I felt needed exploring and putting out there, but it didn't fit in anywhere within the stories I have planned. It did however have to be out there in the Towards Home Universe before the stories I have planned. I hope that makes sense. I suppose you could call this an interlude, rather than a story.

Yeah, sure, mine was only an observation, not a criticism ;) I really liked it anyway :)

I felt I needed to explain anyway. Thank you by the way, for your comment. As always, much appreciated! *grin*

Aww I am so happy to see a new chapter! I really, really loved this series. And really liked this installment too. It made me feel all the emotions that Mark is feeling, loud and clear, and was also an interesting new exploration of Gary's point of view - not getting involved, and not getting upset about Mark's contact, or lack of, with Robbie.

Can't wait for more! xx

This was as wonderfull as ever! I'm really loving the universe you've created. I think this chapter about Rob was very relevant to the story of Mark and Gary ;) I wonder how hard it must have been for Mark to be torn between Rob and the rest of the boys, because it's so very clear how much he still adores Rob. Like that interview he did with Gary during the promo for Progres, where he said that the feud between Gary and Rob made him feel like the five years had meant nothing...

Looking forward to more!

I'm so happy to see another part of this series! I really do love it.

And I do love the way you've explored the complicated dynamic between Gary/Robbie/Mark. It's something that fascinates me, in reality as well as in fan fiction, so I always love to see it come up, and see it dealt with so wonderfully. Poor Mark being stuck in the middle of that!
