Cameron never finds a way to explain that, but it has something to do with the chameleon definition of perfect...Well, there is no hiding in plain sight going on here, it's all simply perfect! The language and imagery and emotion in this story is amazing. You have given Cameron a voice and it is the absolutely correct one. I can visualize him growing up guilt ridden, alienated, setting fires and acting out in rebellion because he doesn't have the first clue about how to be someone like Aiden so he takes the opposite tack. Yet, it all doesn't matter because at bottom, where it matters, he's a good person and he knows what it is to love and those qualities between them manage to soundly trump the emotional dysfunction of his world. Morgan is marvelous and I like that not only are they both gay but that it's Sonny and Michael who can't come to terms with the reality and Carly and Elizabeth who simply accept it as just another facet of their sons' respective personalities. You've also sketched a very interesting portrait of Elizabeth

It's always tough to develop next generation characters, but I feel like they've given a lot of clues to how Cameron will turn out. He has a lot of issues but he's a good person deep down and that makes the difference.

Thank you for the wonderful feedback! I'm really glad you liked the fic. :)

*sniff* Oh, this is absolutely beautiful, hon. I almost didn't read it because I wasn't sure I could handle the angst, but I'm so, so glad that I did. I love everything about it. Your Cameron is perfect, and I love his relationship with Morgan. The distance between Lucky and Cameron, and Liz and Cameron's special bond in spite of everything... just brilliant. And Jake and Aiden, of course. ♥ And I love how you incorporated Cameron's pyromania, and Zander, too. The whole thing is just amazing!

Thank you, sweetie! This started out with a lot more angst than it finished with, but I just couldn't keep Cameron unhappy. I'm glad it didn't read as too sad.
