This chapter had everything I needed and I punched the air when I realised that the spell was over but they weren't exactly "back to normal". Your portrayals of Vince and Howard are always so loveable and true to character that its incredibly easy to get fully engrossed in your stories and this one is no exception, I just love it so much and will be so sad when it's over and I just want to gush about how much I love this fic! Naboo watching Vince struggle between his love of chill and his love of pointless questions was probably my favourite moment, though it was a close thing because even the mention of Howard doing his creamiest voice makes me need to fan myself. Thank you for being such an awesomely talented writer and creating these beautiful works of fanfiction for us all!
I just love a lot about this. I love the subtle hints that they really are already themselves, like Vince not being as confident in seducing Howard (but still going for it). I love Naboo and Bollo and their traumatized reactions to having witnessed Vince and Howard in the act. I LOVE the line about Naboo watching Vince struggle between his (canon!) love of chili and his love of pointless questions. And I am also very intrigued by Vince's dream of Howard bending him over in the Nabootique and admitting it was pretty hot. Given his feelings about bottoming and his past experiences, that's kind of an interesting fantasy to have pop up in his subconscious. Not that it has to mean anything, but... it is interesting!
Oh, poor boys. The spell is broken already but they find that so hard to believe, because from their point of view nothing yet seems to have changed. They clearly have some more working-out (and hopefully making-out) yet to do before they reach an equilibrium they can both live with. Either that, or Naboo needs to add some magic ingredients to his chili (I do love his matter-of-fact-ness in the face of all this)...
Also, this is probably the wrong place to tell you that I've had tabs open to one or more of your stories since I got back from my trip (which is why I remember the length of time) 3 weeks ago? And that it's not unusual? One of the qualities I really value in fix is that "read it again, find something new" quality and yours is just so good for that…
