What a load of bullshit omfg this author is really trying to tell us this was a misunderstanding like we can't go back to the start of the story and literally just see that he WAS a substitute and that he never loved him. A part of this story was him literally realizing that he was actually in love with him after he died I'm seriously considering dropping over this

Anybody know when these filler throwback chapters are going to end?

theyre not "fillers" actually. watch these flashback chapters gradually become essential in tying all loose ends towards the climax and end of the story. i've been reading this writer's works and they have this distinctive style of subtly and slowly revealing seemingly insignificant details that would only make sense once you've finished reading and rereading the entire story lol it's honestly mind-blowing. The unpredictability is delicious. And it's gonna be rewarding so let's just be patient and savor every chapter haha

Honestly it must feel like shit to be with somebody and constantly be sidelined, even on days important to you like your birthday, over a job and somebody wanting to prove their worth for a seat at a table they're not wanted at anyway. I'd be breaking up too. I kind of don't want them to get together again either.

This is so shit. Kissing is intimate but barebacking isn't? Like are you serious? Is he serious? And they're definitely going to end up together too like... we all read the same story of him literally making him into the substitute partner, the story is even titled after it? The eye cover up thing literally happened because aside from his eyes, he looked like the guy he was obsessed with. Can we please get an author who frames manipulative bullshit as manipulative bullshit, and not literally put roses and flowers around his speech bubbles
This is such a nice ending. I'm so happy for them!
