This whole thing is such an amazing mind-fuck. Your Gary--wow, is he a psychotic piece of work, or a psychotic match-maker? I kinda want to slap all three of them.

That said, these are inventive, brilliant characterizations. Well done!

[eonism]

Haha, well, I'm glad you enjoyed it, at least!

I agree with abigail89. This is a fantastic and complete mind-fuck!
It's brilliant. I love how messed up they all are and how frighteningly easily psycho!Gary pulled them both in. He is quite a piece of work.

Great story darlin'!

Thank you, and thanks for reading! Glad you enjoyed it.

Oh, my! Well, that worked out better than I anticipated. You've done so good with this series, totally have me wanting to punch Gary and slap both Jim AND Bones for their refusal to talk, to admit to their feelings, and then the mess that creates.

I have to say that as much as I want to punch Gary, I also really want to know what's going on in his head, what really motivated him to offer this solution to Bones? He wanted Jim. Did he think by putting them together he was going to get Jim?

Ah, the best stories leave you wanting to know more.

So twisted and wonderful!

I like to think that Gary knew the jig was up, and Jim was going to make a choice one way or the other. Bones was always going to be hovering in the peripheral no matter what, and Jim wasn't going to let him go. To me, Gary's fascination with Jim is rooted in my belief that AOS!Gary is a skeevey enabler, who's fascinated by Jim's self-destructive tendencies. He wants Jim, but he also kind of wants to see how far Jim will go. Bones wants the best for Jim, and Jim knows that, and I think their bond wins out in the end.

Ultimately, in this part I didn't want to spend too much time on his reasoning. I mostly wanted to leave the boys (and hopefully the readers, haha) feeling hot, flustered, and maybe a little puzzled as to the true nature of Gary's intentions. The boys get back together, Gary fades to the background, and theyr'e left wondering *just exactly* what happened.

(Also, I don't think I'm done with Gary just yet. I have a few other ideas floating around, I'm just not quite so sure what to do with them yet...)

Oh, you achieved that, in spades!

And, no, I'm not bouncing over the idea that you're going to write more of Gary. I have no idea why I enjoy his evol, manipulative ways so much, but I do!

I also kind of hope Bones puts Jim on a very short leash after this. That boy needs some tough love. :D

Real quick, the only reason I didn't comment on this sooner is because of college - academic succubus complications, ect.

How much do I love your Gary Mitchell - SO DAMN MUCH. He's been one of my favorite STfandom experiences. He's a satisfying read and I'm thrilled whenever you write him. I really love the way he complicates the dynamic between Kirk and McCoy - he bleeds a little black into that relationship. Your Gary brings something yummy, and worrisome to the table; I love watching him work.

I'm always glad to hear that. Gary Mitchell was kind of a "Ha ha, wouldn't it be funny if?" idea that took a life of his own. Now that I've finished this "arc" I find myself compelled to find other things for him to do, other scenarios to try this relationship dynamic out in. I enjoy writing him so much, it pleases me to no end to hear that people enjoy reading him.

This story was fabulous in every aspect. Great job.

[eonism]

Thanks so much, and thanks for reading!
