Oh, Plum. This chapter, so long, and so pivotal, and SOOOOO wonderful, was worth every single second of those six months. So much is revealed, and healed, and explained here, that I seriously think it needed the process and time you took with it... I love how Brian helped Justin enter the church, and this: “Because since the moment I met you, I’ve never seen you make a decision out of fear-not even when you probably should have.” is exactly it. It's Justin, and it's why Brian fell in love with him - such a perfect line

and SOOOOO wonderful, was worth every single second of those six months. Couldn't agree with you more! I would say more but I am still crying and the tears are in my eyes so I can't see. I willjust say though that again you said some stuff about Alan and his time with Dan that I couldn't have said better myself! It really does just hurt that he's now gone. *sniffs*
It did need the entire 6 months, and I realize that now. It's very aggravating to go through it sometimes because the deepest reasons for the wait don't come until the very end, and so when I'm done, I can very clearly see the reason for the wait, but during that time, I want to take an mallet to my laptop.
Oh Plum I am bawling! Just bawling! I haven't cried like this since "Disciples" I have been crying through a lot of this chapter! Shit I can't even see to type! I am going to have to go in my room and just get this out. Oh Alan! I want to say so much and it won't be enough! I have always liked him but to know what he was struggling with....my God you weren't kidding when you said there was going to be a lot to read in this chapter. All four parts have just been amazing and I know I say this every time but this one, THIS ONE was utterly amazing and the best one yet

Cry it out, cry it all out. I completely understand; that's what I've been doing for 6 months...layer after layer after layer. I now own half of Kleenex and sit on their board of directors. Thank you for the feedback!
I did and I was utterly drained when I went to bed last night. This chapter is still on my mind and I may need ot read it again, once I am sure I can get thru it without too much crying. ;)

This did make me laugh though, I can totally see you owning half of it now....especially with some of the chpaters that came BEFORE this one! Oy indeed!
eventually you just give up and resort to a roll of toilet paper. i was so excited to get my laptop about 9 mos. ago thinking, "Oh cool, now I can go write anywhere I want--like a coffee shop or whatever..."
Yeah, right. Could you see me sitting in Caribou bawling my eyes out trying to write this? They'd probably ask me to leave because the rest of the customers were leaving!
Just gorgeously done. Alan's sessions with Daniel and pitiful adult soiling of himself and hope that things may change for him had my throat tighten and the tears fell at Daniel on the side of the subway. Thank you so much, I adore this world. I look forward to seeing where you take us next time.

Brian and Justin's words were so meaningful and truly acknowledged the depth of their love.
Daniel's journey was so incredible. He's lucky to have friends like Jonathan in his life to help him move forward.
I love Zeek and all his antics, they help lighten a difficult moment.
FABULOUS CHAPTER!!!!!!!!!!!!
