I was seriously thinking "omg it's ruined!! they're not together wtf!!" but then I read the epilogue and now I am so content with the ending and it's so sweet :D
I just re-read this and I understand why you didn't have them together in the end. Zack was good for Alex in high school and part of college but I feel that they did grow apart and that their love for each other was blinding them from fully seeing it. John was good for Zack. He never put pressure on him, he let him make his own decisions and helped Zack see who he really was. I think re reading this made me see that, because when you're reading it update by update you kinda see it but you don't see the full picture til you re-read it as a whole. I don't think I cried when I first read it but this time I couldn't stop crying and seeing the world from Zack's eyes. Now I'm going to shush up before I make this a mile long comment. :)
I loved this so much as I do with absolutely all of your stories and yes I have read all of them. I laughed, I cried, I had mental breakdowns and started screaming at my laptop. However every time I read your stories I get a horrible world crashing type feeling when they end :( But anyway you are just too amazing and you are officially my favourite writer ever in the history of any website. On a completely unrelated topic (well not really completely unrelated haha) I think you might have been at the same All Time Low concert as me from what i can tell in the pictures in chapter 11 :) Anyway much love :D and thank you XXXXX <3
Just read both stories start to finish today, and i am sooo sad!! They were so wonderfully destructive together! :( waaaaa. I started crying. Love this story so muchh!
Crying. Literal tears. Happy tears, but tears none the less. SEE WHAT YOU DO TO ME?!?! That banter at the end was perfect. I loved this series and all it's everything :)
I think everyone knew that it was going to be Alex :') Seriously though, I love the ending. I actualy started squealing and crying when I finished reading this chapter. It's just... Aadfkslfldlakdps. I love this fanfic to bits even though it doesn't end with Zalex :3
I knew it was Alex. I didn't expect Zack to married to John though! They're perfect for each other (: I'd be super interested in an Alex/Gabe short story but I won't necessarily wait up (; I just thought it'd be really interesting, Alex being submissive and just happy. He deserves it, though Zack deserves it more. Haha.
Oh wow. It all suddenly clicked that Alex was Gabe's fiance in the middle of the chapter. This was a perfect ending to tie everything up. I still sort of wish they were together but I mean, this is still perfect in so many ways. ahhhhhh. I've loved this so much <3
