Because I've been having a good time reading other people's questions/responses, and, you know, just in case anyone was curious about anything...

Ask me a question about one of my fanfics. It can be absolutely anything in any fic and I will tell you the honest-to-god answer. Don’t hold back. Ask about major upcoming plot points if you want to.

The Brendon/Cash frat-verse. Does Brendon's family ever find out about Cash? And as awesome as the FBR boys are, do Brendon and/or Cash ever run into any problems on campus because of their relationship?

Brendon's Parents, pt. 1

Brendon's family does find out about Cash. I'm going to say that it's during his junior year, when his parents actually do reach out to him, want to see how he's doing

Brendon's Parents, pt. 2

So, life goes on. Then one Monday night, out of the blue, his parents show up at the house. They hadn't told him that they were coming, but they show up in the middle of Monday Night Dinner, and Brendon can't leave then (being president and all) but he makes plans to meet with them later. He calls Cash before he goes, and Cash offers to go with him, but Brendon feels that he needs to do this himself. He tells Cash that he'll see him later, though, after.

He meets his parents at their hotel and they go out to the restaurant down the street. Brendon gets a slice of pie (his mom looks like she wants to protest, tell him that he shouldn't be eating sugar this late at night, but she seems to realize that she doesn't have a say) and they make small talk for several minutes. Then Brendon says something about his boyfriend Cash, emphasizing the 'boyfriend', just to see how his parents react. His father maybe frowns a little, his mother stirs her tea with a little more force. But they don't yell, they don't scream, they don't talk about

And the rest of their relationship...

I think that they do run into problems on campus, but not serious ones. No physical bashing.

I think that not everyone in the Greek System would be comfortable with Brendon and Cash, that there would be whispered comments, some not so whispered, but the FBR guys are seriously protective of them.

I don't see them courting trouble, though? Like, I don't see them going to other houses' parties and making out in the middle of the dance floor, because as much as it would be wonderful if the whole world (Greek and not) were that accepting, it's not. They go on dates around town, though, and Brendon never tries to hide (he gave that up once he got Cash back) and, well. Yeah. Again with the not perfect, but not awful either.

I want to know what happens to Reason 437 and Adam (or AJ) in the future fic 'verse but I kinda don't want to get too spoiled either. So maybe just a hint of what's coming up?

I really don't know how much to say, without it being too much. And I really need to start writing the next part, don't I?

I can tell you I think there's about 15,000 words more to go to finish up the story. Upcoming events (in the next two bits) include decisions and realizations (some of which occur in bowling alleys). And the next three bits will, I think, pretty much answer everyone's questions about where the story is going.

If you want more than that, I'll be happy to tell you, but that's about as far as I feel like I can go without getting into true spoilers! Hopefully I didn't say too much already!

Thank you for the hints. 15,000 more words, woohoo! I can savor the length of the last bits.

Realizations in the bowling alley! Do Patrick and the rest of the guys bowl? It's odd but that's the first question that came to mind.

Frank is on a bowling team. I don't know if they're good or not (I'd say, probably not) but they have fun. They have pink shirts with skulls and crossbones on them. :)
