Poor Michael. I think we forget how much he put into their relationship and opening himself to Orlando. When Orlando left him, it was devastating for him and you can understand him needing time. The fear of ending up back in that same place can be hard to overcome, but I'm glad he's still in love with the amazing guy who still has his heart.
I'm so happy to have this fic back and I'll be really sad when it ends. It's been a privilege to go on this journey with these two characters and, seriously, Michael is the best OMC ever! I love him. (just so you know, I'm totally going to need a copy of this fic when it's finished!)
You made me get all squishy gushing emotional in my fb. A sure sign of great writing *twirls you*
Yes poor Michael. He really has had a difficult time. Seeing as Orlando is a) the first guy he has ever been really in love with and b) I suspect the only guy who has ever left Michael (apart from his first boyfriend - who also picked "not being gay" over Michael); it has not been easy for him to move on - so i don't blame him for not jumping straight back in! But yeah, he's still in love too Yoohoo!
I will also be sad to see it all end, it's a strange feeling. You will be the first person I send the word document to!
Thank you for the squishy gushing fb... *twirls with you*
I want a copy also! Although I have already saved every part in my computer.
If this was a book it would so be a bestseller. Or... Well now that I come to think of it, it is about gay relationships, so maybe not all would be very responsive but... God damn it. It's a freaking marvellous text and I want it as a book! :P
Yay for Orlando for being clear with himself about what he needs and wants and then being clear with Michael. Poor Michael, he really has had a rough ride of it and now that he's in a position to choose it's so hard to take a risk with his heart. Loves him, loves his strength and his vulnerablility -- he is the best OMC ever as was said in an earlier comment. He is beautifully written and I'm so happy that he is ready to take the chance with his heart and on Orlando. Amazing, amazing job, well worth waiting for and like it's said above, I'm going to need a copy of the whole thing when it's done. *happy sigh*
OMG I just notice there are only 2 chapters left. I'm already grieving for the end of this amazing story.
Yes there isn't a long way to go now. I feel we are reaching a natural end of the main story lines so it's time to conclude (Orlando has realized what is important and is accepting him self and Michael has sort of learned to love and allow him self to care about another person) - now there are just a few loose end to be tied up and I will have to leave this universe. I'm also feeling a bit weird about that :P
Thanks so much for another lovely reply. The flattering comments that have ticked in during the day have really meant a lot - I'm so glad I didn't disappoint seeing as I suffered from writers block and it took me so long to post.
I promise I will send the finished word documents to whoever wants it at the end - it's mighty long though!
I'm so happy that the dark times have gotten some light into them. It was so beautiful when Orlando was just watching Michael. Hmph... And again I have tears in my eyes. I've been more or less like that during the last 4 or 5 hours when I saw the update. But I wouldn't have it any other way.
And now the loss of words really hit me. Beautiful is the only thing I can say, but it is including everything in it. Beautiful.
Thank you so much for all the great feedback. Yes there is light at the end of the tunnel now - maybe you won't get teary in the remaining updates - though I can't completely promise that :P

Excellent. That's very promising for the remaining chapters. I'll be sad to see this finished though.
Thanks for sharing.

I'm also a bit sad (albeit also relieved) to see the end so close now.
Thanks for commenting.
