Thank you, thank you, thank you for the kind words. Whenever I read one of your reviews for this series, it just gives me such warm, fuzzy feelings. And it blows me away that you get exactly what I'm trying to convey. Vidae et Mors has always been an exploration of the depth of feelings and emotions a person is capable of and how utterly unexplainable and overwhelming it can be. Given that, I wanted the way the story was written to be the complete opposite. I'm so glad it's working for you!

It's so great to see this update, hon.

Sean has always been there for Orlando, but no matter how much he loves Orlando it will never be enough. His feelings are just not returned that way.
Orlando can only be complete with Eric.

I'm looking forward to see how you are going to resolve this.

Thanks so much, hun. :) I'm glad people are still interested in it!

I've always believed that people have the capacity for endless, boundless love but theory is so much easier than reality or practice. To love more than one person is an extremely difficult thing to do because it's not just your feelings that are involved. Orlando's slowly coming to terms with that. :)

I'm thrilled to see that you're continuing with this, especially since it gave me an excuse to go back and re-read the series from the beginning. :)

I think what I love most about this part is that Orlando finally gets it - or seems to. He finally understands that there's more to having a connection with someone than just friends or just lovers, that he can stand on his own and find that strength inside himself, that it's okay if he still loves Eric while loving Sean because love doesn't have to mean the same thing all the time, and that every connection, every moment, has led him to where he is and who he is.

Powerful writing as always. I'm looking forward to the conclusion. :)

This series will always have a place in my heart. For me, the latter installments are pretty good writing on my part and I hope to edit the entire thing one day to make it publication-worthy. :)

And yes, exactly. I've always believed that love is such a multi-faceted, complex entity and sometimes, it just can't be contained. However, even if we are built for such a boundless, limitless love, society as it is cannot really comprehend. Which is why loving someone ends up becoming difficult.

Thank you so much for reading!
