Damn, damn, damn. Poor Noah. You really know how to whump him. Taking comfort in anything from his father? How horrific. And all to keep his love safe forever. Sigh. Back to tapping my toes.

[willwork4dean]

Dammit, woman! How are you so fast? You always reply before I even finish editing!

More whump ahead.

I am your virtual stalker. I watch your page endlessly as is my duty. I am trying to get better at not ending threatening messages (see begging) for more chapters. I do remember a vague promise to re-visit a certain set of boys trapped in a never ending skid of torture in the after the BB future?

Noah doubled over, helpless with laughter. He wanted to explain the joke, how funny it was that his dad was okay with Jimmy beating him until he bled, but God forbid he give him drugs, but he was laughing too hard to speak. He laughed until he cried, until somehow the laughter turned into huge, hitching, helpless sobs.

My poor, poor Noah. Winston is a fruit cake like no other and that Jimmy- bonkers so totally nuts.

He should have known it was too easy.

What does that mean? Aye yi yi you're killing me but I love it. :)

[willwork4dean]

Winston and Jimmy are chock full o' nuts! At least Noah's safe now (maybe).

Aye yi yi you're killing me but I love it

Oh, good - that's what I was going for! :-)

have to say that I look forward to your updates of this story like no other. I am willing to wait because each chapter is so graphic. I am there when I'm reading it. The descriptions and emotions running throughout make it so real for me. Noah is my boy and what he is going through (and has gone through since the beginning of this) breaks my heart. But he is a survivor and he deserves some happiness. Hope that will happen down the road. You've got a major fan here. Thanks for this story.

[willwork4dean]

Thank you so much! I can't tell you how reassuring that is. I get frustrated that I can't update more often, but I do try to make the chapters worth the wait.

Yeah, Noah's my guy and there's no way I'd put him through this without giving him his happy ending (eventually).;-)

Thanks for taking the time to reply!

Sweetie-pie! *huggles*

He and Winston have incredibly complex relationship-barely touched on by ATWT-and it's so believable to me that even though Winston has done some unforgivable things, there's a part of Noah that still-againt all reason- loves him. And maybe it isn't Winston himself, but the idea of him-the loving father that Noah will forever long for.

I'm glad that part makes sense to you, because on the surface it kinda doesn't. But I think a child's love for a parent is so primal, so deep, that they will love even a bad parent. And even if the parent doesn't love the child back, or hurts the child, the child will never stop longing for that love, even when they know it will never happen. I hope Noah eventually learns that he can find that fatherly love in other places. *cough!Holdencough!*

The shaving memory sort of undid me, as I used to love to watch my dad shave too. Omigosh, me too! And my dad is a kind, gentle man and a wonderful father. It was kind of trippy to take those sweet memories and turn them into something

Love it love it love it

Thanks so much for letting me know that the next chapter was up!

This was absolutely stunning. So many great things here: the relationship between Noah and his father, Noah's loyalty to Luke, Noah's absolute fear of the darkness. So much that could easily become convoluted, but you take all of these elements and create a chapter that is not only powerful, but so cohesive and SO in character.

I can believe that these are Noah's thoughts, and it just hits me so hard.

Absolutely breathtaking. Thank you!

Yay! I'm so glad the chapter made sense. I was a little worried because there are so many layers - present and past and then an even earlier past, plus Noah's not in his right mind most of the time. So it's reassuring to hear that it all made sense.

can believe that these are Noah's thoughts,

That's the nicest compliment ever - thank you!

Hoping to have the next part up next week - I'll give you a heads-up when I post it.

Thanks for replying! :-)
