The proverbial thickening plot :) Had to happen. Yet very well excuted. I feel slightly spoiled because before I started reading this story I read some of the comments on your notes post. The post itself did not spoil and it was interesting reading of the research done, etc. But the comments spoke of a slash sequel possibly forthcoming. Not that I won't read that. Truth is, I'll be all over that! :) But ... I like these characters and it seems like life would be easier for them if Jensen and Alona could work out. If everyone was straight and Jensen and J--Tristan could have a bromance. Not that there's anything wrong with any or all of them being gay. Just taking a pragmatic view here.

But you also said in your author's notes that the romance was not the point of your tale. I recently wrote something where the romance was also not the point. So in that respect I'm very much looking forward to the journey moving forward.
