I agree with the comment below; I feel like I'll punch Austin in the face in a heartbeat if he doesn't love Alan. And, as another agreement with the comment below, the turn of events is interesting and I'm really excited for the next chapter.
I came here from comment swap, and I'll say that this isn't something I would usually read, but admittedly, this is absolutely amazing! Your writing style is extraordinary, your writing itself is fantastic, and the plot line is amazing.
