So I started drafting up a long screed talking about the role of women in gay fiction, then decided no one wanted to read that. Great job on this chapter. It was absolutely horrifying, but did a great job of showing how this town effects its more permanent residents. Finding out that Christine appeared to her father at age 8 and for 8 years he watched her grow up explains how this town and the manipulations work. It ALSO tells us that the mayor took a presumably 16 year old girl (assuming I'm reading these ages correctly), effectively stuck two babies in her, and took away years of her life. Oh, and put her in a relationship with a gay man who could never love her with the directive to make more children. Supernatural, horrifying, and completely accurate to how certain communities (way more than we'd care to admit) treat actual young women and girls. Then there's Michelle, who not only (probably) had the same thing happen to her, but she seems to have feelings for another (married) man. Everyone is stuck in loveless marriages for the sole purpose of making more children so the town doesn't die. You mentioned it in your meta writings, but I really like how this story doesn't just focus on the tragedy of Kevin and Steve, but also examines how other people have to deal with the consequences of homophobia. Lastly, there's Guthrie. It's vague on if he was straight and Steve turned him gay, or if he always had feelings for guys and stuffed them down deep to have a family, but either way we got to see the effect and how it twisted him. Keep up the good work.

The obliviousness is great! Eagerly awaiting the next chapter!

Thanks! I ran into a bit of a hump in the second chapter, but I'm past it now, so hopefully not much longer. The ME/CFS likes to come along and kick my ass for weeks or months at a time, though, so I've learned not to make promises.

Wow. This has to be the most interesting story on this site. I don't find it especially hot personally but the themes and emotions you are playing with are so raw. I feel like not many of the stories here deal with the realities of being secretly gay in a very unaccepting world; probably because most of the people here have experienced some shade of that and it hurts. That's a reason that gay to straight stories are so reviled by a large portion of the community. As someone on the wish fulfillment side of the coin, I hope that your main characters find themselves and that love wins in the end.

This story is one of the best I've ever read. I like a lot how you're developing the characters, every chapter is pure delight. I hope you surprise us with the villain, it's a great story and it deserves a great antagonist!

This is going better and better. In one hand, I find the chapters too short because I want to read more and more, but in the other, I just love the slow changes, it make it even hotter. I hope you could expand the descriptions of the clothes, bodies and faces. I'll be waiting for the next chapter!
