Brothers

I thought this story was honestly really amazing and it’s one of the few times where I’d like both the side couple and the main couple the similarly. With the main couple, I thought it was really beautiful how the top loved the bottom in a way that was right each time like he showed up in exactly the way we were at the bottom needed the most and he was always so understanding. I loved how the bottom despite being in his head a lot learn to get out of his head and just appreciate the time he has with the top as well as being able to self the horrible shit he’s going through for his lover. With the side couple, I wanted so much more of their story because I thought it was really good. I loved how absolutely rocky it began mostly due to the bottom because he’s an asshole who was very clearly working through stuff and each time that he needed something, the top would show up for him. He would bend over backwards for him, but he would also remind the bottom of his own personhood.

I love how the series tries to make you think that the two brothers are completely different from each other when you really look at it they’re pretty similar, which makes sense because they spent a lot of their formative years together in the same environment but they are just ever so different mostly in mindset we are the older brother is more guilt bearing, and the younger brother is more guilt escaping. I would’ve loved it if just like how the top helps the older brother to stop carrying the weight of the guilt if the top helps the younger brother to start accepting accountability for his actions because he was doing a lot of fuck shit. I also thought it was nice because the bottoms are both similar that the tops were both similar as they both showed up in similar ways for their partners, however one was more submissive to match a more aggressive bottom. I think it was crazy that they were coworkers and they never share a screen together.

I definitely think that now that both the brothers have moved on from their one-sided love of someone and formed a happy relationship with someone else that reconciliation is possible. I definitely think a meeting between the two will be accidental and a bit messy but ultimately good.

I don’t think I ever hoped for side stories this much before
