And amazing character development, where the characters don't go out of character just to create the normal yaoi-cliched dramatic "twist". Very refreshing.
I agree, the development is actually really good. Even what could have seemed like a cliche of Ed who could have been just a straight guy falling for McQueen, it doesn’t necessarily happen right away and in the way that many of us are use to in terms of yaoi because we are taken into the emotions and feelings behind what Ed is experiencing..We are understanding how he got in this position of being in the industry. How he came to realize what he felt..what he was feeling in the moments he was in it. He himself even in denial and then finally acceptance. From the descriptions of McQueens glare, etc..We understand what led Ed here..what led them together. We see Ed discover who he is. It’s refreshing. McQueens walls he’s place around himself being taken down by someone like Ed, he also did not expect it. Down to McQueen complex feelings he tried to put into words to describe how Ed made him feel, how he couldn’t understand it, how McQueen hated and loved it. They are rediscovering themselves and each other. It’s good
I like that the tension that was created is that this relationship is vulnerable on many levels, but it's set up for it to play to each of the MC's strengths to bolster the other.
Yes! I love that description. That’s exactly what it feels like. It becomes a challenge of self and conquer oneself for the other.
A story with a porn industry theme
A story with intercourse throughout
And just so happens to be one of a few good stories with actual plot, some decent background on characters and you actually root for a healthy relationship in it and oh wait!
It’s parts of a 4 part novel.
Should someone question your yaoi taste, make this story a part of the list you show them..a porn story better than half the yaoi you’ve probably read...imagine that!
