Oh man! Awesome! This is a wonderful chapter, especially Michael's POV.
Do you have a posting schedule? I know at one time you did. Not that it's important ~ any update will do. But I have to go back through this story. I've been scanning the story since ch 45, since this post. (I left you a note through FB. Did you get it?)
IDGAF! I was trying to figure out what it meant. I looked at the chapter end notes before the first chapter with it... My mind was a blank, and getting frustrated, my thought was Oh F it... and then I had my answer! :D (It's another of my moments ~ I just thought you might get a chuckle out of my stupidity.)
MICHAEL!!! That name just sends horror chills up and down my spine. Anyway... if Ben's not around to pay Michael's phone bill, shouldn't he lose service? Then he can't place all these calls back to Pittsburgh. The counselors should take it away, and give him one that he can only make calls on the island. That would put a kink in his ability to contact all those degenerates. Oh, wait. Ben could call his lawyer and have him do that! ;)
I was really worried that Michael would stay quiet and move further back so he could follow Justin back to Brian. However, he would have been halted by the guy watching him. I keep forgetting his name, so I'll call him Moose.
Thanks again for putting out these two chapters. But the wait didn't matter, because they were worth it.

To start with, I hadn’t read like three chapters before this last… so I got a mini novelette.
First, let me congratulate you (and Justin) for the awesome gathering of Dino and Darius. I loved how all that came together. Two down. Are there any others that will take over for them?
Do we have a new blossoming relationship with Mel and Diane??? At least they are the same – both career driven. Just the little we know of Diane, we know she’s honest and a super nice person… protective of the ones she loves.
So Mel gets to fire some staff. Ian – oh dear me! How, pray tell, is he gonna make child support, or make enough to support himself, other than camping out under the bridge with the rest of the trolls? (Did you hear the sarcasm pouring out? I bet both Ian and Yuri feel like they could have a couple of rounds with Michael. And what about the kid that delivered Ian’s letter? I would think that’s against protocol.
So, Ben rounds out the three. I almost got the giggles. There was a story – WAY BACK – where Michael had died, and one night when Ben went to see Brian and Justin – yeah, a threesome was borne. And they made it a permanent situation.
Is it possible that Michael got information in high school from Claire, and that’s how he knew Brian was in a bad situation, so he could play on those? Or was Debbie hearing it from Joan? Or did Michael go straight to the big man source; Jack himself?
I remember a very long time ago, we were chatting on FB messenger, and you commented about this story, and how you needed to figure out where you at, and I said Michael was in a small boat, and the guys were loading it with boulders. Well, I know they say drowning is a terrible way to die, but he definitely needs a much slower and more painful death. He doesn’t even deserve prison. Well, unless he’s put in with Tino or Darius. Or Big Bubba.
Hmm… maybe he can be chained up, and made to watch pornos of Justin topping Brian… and have toothpicks in his eyes to make sure the lids stay open… *evil grin*
So, Blake and Justin are wondering what Michael’s Plan B is. Well, since Darius and Tino fell through, the only ones I can really think of is Sap and Kip. I don’t know if you’ll go the round of Hobbs or family members. I’ll have to give that some thought.
Big HUGS!

I absolutely LOVE this story! When i saw there was an update, I was a bit worried that I would have to reread the entire story before I could read the newest chapter. I decided to just go ahead and read the update and it turned out that as soon as I started reading I remembered everything about this story. Thoroughly enjoyed the update and looking forward to the next one, no matter how long it takes.
*HUGS*

Melanie accurately describes her relationship with Lindsay whatever love they shared wasn't enough to change how really opposite they were in everything.
Debbie and Michael showed each other how to act and react around others which is why they were able to manipulate Brian, Ted and Emmett for so long.
The counseling taking place and each couple facing the truths they avoided or kept hidden is good they when there are no more secrets then past hurts can't be used to control them anymore.
Thanks for the Update????

Another great update. This story has so many twists and turns, I can't imagine what white board you use to keep it all straight. It is an amzing tale of intrigue, plotting and drama. I'm so glad that Emmett and Drew have figured things out and now they are healing.

This is working out to not only fix our boys but their therapist as well. Great job.

What a wonderful chapter. You manage to put all the angst that Emmett is going through in this one, plus let Drew get through to him that he's there for the long haul. I do so enjoy seeing more on this story and really need to read it all from the beginning. Here's hoping Michael gets his comeupance.

So heartwarming that Drew is backing Em up in the telling of his abusive past.

Shame that Drew couldn't tell all that to Emmett. It could make a difference.

Bernard has helped both Ted and Blake in more ways than he knows.

Really it was Michael who pointed out, wrongly, that Ted was boring and reliable. It all comes back to Michael.

Emmett laid himself bare and Drew didn't run screaming which means they are going to be okay today and tomorrow they will be Great.
Michael was always good at using information against others to manipulate, hurt and keep them close, another bad habit he picked up from Deb that had Vic eventually turning against her.
Weak people use others strength to weaken them so they can feel superior and that need is what will eventually destroy them.
Getting every dirty secret out brings more light into the darkness they fell into and destroys the pain they were afraid of.
Michael always assumed Emmett, Blake and Justin were weaker than him but in actuality they always were strong enough to put him in his place first individually and then together, with their partners and friends they are indestructible which Michael will hate because he is losing what little power he has faster than he realizes and so is Deb.
Thanks😀

Emmett needs to face his past to embrace the present and enjoy the future with Drew who loves him flaws and all just the way Emmett loves him.
Thanks For the Update😀

Wow! Poor Carl but clearly he's too good for Deb and I can't wait to see Michael behind bars for all he's done!

Hey, babe, I'm back to reading QAF fanfic. I've been MIA for quite awhile and this is one of my favs so here I am. In all honestly, I've truly forgotten where I left off & it seems like I've definitely missed something. Michael has done something that affected Emmett so much, he's been in the red chair for awhile. I'm gonna have to go back & look. Can you tell me which chapter has Michael being an asshole, again? lol
This was sweet. I love Drew! And he loves Em so much, I hope that's Em at the door!

Thanks for the quick update. Hope everything went well for you
How Michael couldn't be guilty of what he's doing He's scheming with drug dealers to hurt Blake and Justin. And that excruciating letter he managed to send to Brian. He deserves to be punished and Deb is going to find herself alone because Carl is going to get away from her. Her kingdom will fall apart when she can no longer manipulate anyone and that is soon.
I can't wait to see how everyone is going to treat Michael when he is confronted with his malicious acts.

Some people are so devious it's appalling. Deb is going to live some tough time and I'm not sure she won't side with his son, once again.
