Gay Love and Other Big Disasters

by Dylan James

Jordan and Benjamin's love story has always been like a fairy tale. What they don't realize is that old fairy tales often have a bad ending. Freshly home from their first year of university, Jordan and Benjamin are looking forward to reconnecting with family and friends and growing even closer as a couple. But Jordan's parents are fighting like they've never fought before, their friends are moving forward in their relationships in ways that make Jordan doubt his own, and all the subtle differences between straight and gay relationships start to become loud warning signs that his fairy tale love with Benjamin is headed toward disaster. There's one thing that can get him through all of this—opening up to Benjamin and telling him his deepest fears—but Jordan is too afraid to do so. If he exposes the cracks in their relationship, will Benjamin conclude it's unsalvageable?

A very good follow up of “Gay Love…” I do love the guys so much and would enjoy if there’s more to come. I mean it’s only been a year! It would be good to read some Jordan and Ben being happy together too, so I don’t have to worry every time I spend my time with them. :)

An interesting take on what might happen in a continuing relationship with some at least mostly reasonable drama where the only times it was handled badly by a character, it was addressed that he had gone too far.
