i know this is old, and i've probably reviewed before to say that i've honestly loved readin this, which is why i'm rereading it now, but this made me crack up:
--
I stroked him until he came. Afterwards, I helped him clean up and we snuggled together.

'I love you,' he said. 'I'll always love you.'

'I'll always love you, too,' I admitted. I was scared because it was true.

Veema squeezed my hand. 'I'm so happy you came to support my son.'

'It's okay,' I mumbled.
--

i had to blink, pause, and read that again to get that it was a new scene. and furiously try to get the mental image of an indian mother supporting her son's gay sex life in such detail.

apart from that, a more general comment on your writing - one reason i love your stories so much is because they're so real. there's no making characters pretty, ignoring the gritty details, and avoiding all cliches for the sake of more readers. And there's the way your characters are all unique, and how you can approach the same character and situations from different viewpoints and never get lost along the way. it's authors like you who make me realise why i've stuck around here for so long. so thank you.

you kept me up till 3:15am
so i'm too tired to give you a proper review
but i was really hooked and i loved it all, it was very realistic and honest and i enjoyed reading that.
thanks

Aww, I really liked this. It was sweet without being saccharine and the characters were all well-developed and interacted like normal human beings! I liked how you worked in the children, as well, because most people cannot write decent reactions to having babies to save their lives.
(Aside bit - yay for not having author's notes for every chapter. Yay.)
Anyways, just wanted to say I liked the story. Good work! :)

This chapter certainly changes a lot of things.

I like it the story, nonetheless. It's interest and captivating but not overly dramatic or angsty like so many other things.

Ignore my last comment, saw the "complete" at the top. But I am sure we will get wind of them in your next story.

Glad to see the update. Loved the long chapter, I could feel the tension in the room as Mo offered Mike to Brett. What kind of an idiot is Mo? Oh wait, I already know. I am wondering how long before he starts treating Mike like trash.
I have a huge problem with Waqif being Will's lover. The guys are right, Will is a hoe. He needs to have a gay friend whom he has not had sex with. Waqif seemed too noble and too religious to be gay. But I guess you decide.
I was peeved with the fact that you skipped India, but I suppose you are busy and may not have the time to research it, and it really was not that important to the plot. But it did make Iska's family even more crappier. Strangers accept him into their own family, but his own family doesn't. I felt so sorry for him.
Good to see the kids. Felt it was a bit too soon to be introducing them, were you trying to end it quickly? or because Ramyar was not ready, you didn't want us to be ready? It seems like a weakness in plot. Would have liked to see more of Iska and Ramyar alone together more, not in relation to others. I have gotten more of the feel in their relationship when they were with friends. Do new couples spend that much time with other people? You might have added more about Iska's family, and how he deals with it. In hindsight, that would have made it too sappy of a soap opera. The brother episode was enough.
Brett and Mahir are good for each other, perhaps even more than Brett and Michael, Mahir has the ability to remain faithful. Is Will going to be the ** that Michael had the reputation of?
Very devious of Iska to pick up the boy first and leave Ramyar the girl.
I did not think this was the end, but some of your reviewers seem to think it was. Please clarify the matter, I don't want to stop the anticipation of reading your stories.

A lovely story!! I really enjoyed reading it. The characters you created were sincere. It was easy to relate to them. They had real problems. They experienced true happiness. And the plot wasn´t exaggerated. A really good job! :-)

Iska and Ramyar made good and mature decisions and I hope they will stay together even in the future.

Mahir and Brett seem perfect for each other. I must confess I have a soft spot for Brett. He was first of your characters I´ve read about and he is still my favourite. He isn´t perfect, he has many flaws but at the same time he can be loving and caring. And I hope he will finally find happiness. Because he deserves it. Even if it isn´t with Mahir.

Wafig is gay? I don´t think so. But you are the author :-) I don´t really like Will much. I think he has many issues and he needs to work on them really hard. I don´t know if he is ready for another relationship.

I appreciate that you´re writting about adult men, it is really hard to find good original slash story without teenagers as main characters. I am past teenage years and I am more interested in adult problems. So thank you for your fantastic writting. :-) :-)

Oh-kee, we've still don't know about Brett & Mahir or Will & Wafiq... the suspense! Not sure how I feel about someone having two kids and no time to look after them. But they'll be loved and that's important. Awesome writing as always, and I'm so happy everytime you prove you're still updating...

Um, wanted to mention that your formatting/layout/whatchacallit gets a little confusing because several times there's a change of scene, but no extra space between what should be two separate paragraphs. Know what I mean? Like, Ramyar & Iska are in bed, and suddenly on the next line, Veema is talking to Iska. A blank line should go in between.

Oh wow! I'm so happy there's *finally* an update - and it's so long that I've only had time to read less than half and now I have to run to work! *happydance* My fingers are crossed hard that Brett and Mahir will find happiness, but I'll see how it goes after work tonight... *happydances some more*

Just realised this story is complete.

If it were anyone else, I'd be yelling at them (eh...writing in capslock?) and demanding more. But as it's you, I'm sure we'll get some mention of how they're going, maybe even a follow up story, so I think it's a good place to end. Only you though.

Another story, about *anyone*, would at this stage, make my life.

hahaha, how cute! two kiddies! XD very cute chapter but realy akward form micheal and brett togetehr! Andd ooh what about will ans wafiq? OMG!

Please update, even though i know this was a huge chapter, please update soon! love you!

The Brett/Michael/Mohammed scene made me so nervous. I couldn't believe that Brett had accepted, I thought he'd have been too embarrassed to, even if he'd wanted to. But him thinking it was a joke makes heaps of sense.

Aw Will. God he's changed, are we going to get another Will story?

I'm scared about Ramyar and Iska...it all seems good now and they've got everything worked out with the twins just...how long is Iska going to like being second to two kids? And for how long will Ramyar like having a boyfriend who won't really ever live with him...

Also: so glad to see your update. You already know how much I love your writing.

question. is the story complete. because it doesnt seem like it and i was just wondering if another chapter would be posted. thnx. lovee the story.

I'm so happy everything's fine with Iska. I love him so, so much ! Thanks for updating, i missed reading this story!
Oh, and i have a question: did you write the part when Brett & Michael broke up? coz i read Brett&Michael, Will and Life, Continued a while ago, and i can't remember if you wrote about it in there. Right now, I hate Mohammed with a passion, and i just want Mike & Brett to get back together (which is stupid, since apparently it's not going to happen).
Can't wait to read more!

The chapter was interesting like the other chapters were. In other words, great. The transition were a bit weird though. There's no warning when changing grom a place and time to another. A bit disturbing.
