I've been neglectful in commenting, so backed up on fics due to damned RL. I am finding this a fascinating take on things, there is so much angst there, and now Steve has found him a job, (and Danny must know Steve had something to do with it - the man is not stupid) but Steve has slept with Lori for nothing but a physical need, he's screwed up things between him and Danny, and he's a bastard at this point in my eyes. I wanna jump into the fic and smack the shit out of him. And yes, I am looking forward to more.

[n0m_de_plum]

Yeah I can understand that. They boys could use a good smack in this story...not to mention Rachel.

Interesting take by huntress69. I, on the other hand, completely understand Steve's motivation here, though I'll agree that it was a very bad decision. :) Steve should have told Danny what he wanted in the first place (or at least been clearer about it). He's doing this because he's so, so hurt and angry, but there's no way Danny will understand that.

I can't say that I've been enjoying this series per se (because it's so sad!) but I've been eagerly awaiting each new installment. Thank you for adding more so quickly!

[n0m_de_plum]

Yay, I was hoping someone would catch on the he was planning to get caught and had a change of heart just a few seconds too late.

[taste_is_sweet]

Ohhh... I have to admit I didn't think he wanted to get caught because I thought his actions were more symbolic to himself (I don't need him; he's fucking me over, I can do that too), and, being Steve, he didn't actually want to hurt Danny in reality. But it also wouldn't surprise me if there was part of Steve that was secretly hoping that Danny would find out, too...

[n0m_de_plum]

Hmm, now that you mention it. I think it was both.
Haha, isn't amazing how you write things without even realizing it until after?

[lunachickk]

NOOOOOOOOO! YOU WENT THERE! OH GOD!

Now, you ARE killing me!

You will warn us if this has a horrible ending right????

[n0m_de_plum]

I'm not sure how to answer that without giving too much away, but...I would definitely warn if Steve ends up with Lori.

This was the last thing I read before going to bed last night... MISTAKE. I should have read some happy!fic before bed. Not totally your fault - I'd had a bad day to begin with (including my friend's dog dying - who I loved like my own).

I kinda wish you'd thrown in a Steve/Lori warning even though I know you really couldn't have because the story sort of needed the shock warning to work.

I understand why Steve did what he did. He's trying to numb himself up because he doesn't want to feel all these feelings for Danny because he's angry that Danny's leaving him. That's also why he's lashing out and trying to hurt Danny and push him away.

Meanwhile, I don't think Danny (or Grace) want to leave Steve (or Hawaii) at all but Steve is in too much pain to even see that at this moment. *sigh*

Please update this soon with something... anything slightly more hopeful.
*off to search for some happy fic*

Oh geez! Yeah, a good rule of thumb probably is that you shouldn't read this fic if you're already crying. I've been having a rough time myself lately and have channeled a lot of it into the writing so...

Anyway, sorry about that. Although I can't apologize for not warning about Steve and Lori. It would have taken too much away if people knew it was coming beforehand.

[crzymm3]

I am pretty sure you made my head explode in screams of NNNNNOOOOOO. I am in such heart hurt right now.
Danny can't decide which hurts more loosing Steve or loosing Grace. I don't want him to loose either. Maybe that's why Steve did it too; so it would be "easier" for Danny to leave. I definately picked up that he wanted to get caught.Maybe not with Lori standing on the steps in his Navy shirt but he definately wanted to get caught.

[n0m_de_plum]

Yeah, he kind of shot himself in the foot here.

And that's an interesting take on things that sounds kind of right to me. Cool, another facet of Steve's motivation I didn't realize I'd written!

[americandirrty]

OMG STEVE!!! Damn him. I totally understand this though. I see why Steve would do what he did. I don't agree with it but it's really interesting. This story is one of my favorites. I can't wait to read more.

[n0m_de_plum]

Yeah that consensus seems to be, "Damnit Steve you are such an idiot! Although, I do feel sorry you."
