Finished reading The Only Light Left Burning and now I need to find another gay romance that takes place in the apocalypse to read.

Andrew (chapter 2)

I’ve gotta say, I really love Eric’s writing pace. Leaving Jamie’s chapter on the hurricane and then dipping into the more day-to-day apocalypse issues is a nice touch. And with Andrew’s chapter I’m once again reminded why first person POV books are elite, his anxiety spiral is REAL. Don’t get me wrong, I fucking love Jamie, but I always feel comfort being in Andrew’s shoes in a weird way. I think they fit me better. Weird analogy, anyway…

Andrew interacting with the kids is lovely, and the humour in his internal monologue always gets me. Plus The Kid is very sweet. I have a horrible gut feeling that we’re getting introduced to these characters in preparation for them being taken over by fort Carolina, and now that I’m a mum it’s putting me on edge. But that’s a good thing, I want the book to make me invested in these characters, and I am in the span of literally a couple of pages.

Rocky Horror I am going to be so sad when you eventually use your body as a human shield to save Andrew from whoever is trying to kill them in this book. That is my prediction. I don’t know if it’s just because Eric has alluded to this book being absolutely heartbreaking, but the second I fall in love with a character I’m convinced he’s going to kill them off in a tragic way. And I may be taking this too personally, but Eric if you kill off this heavily tattooed character I’m going to think it’s a slight on me.

Last note, “where does one find lube in the apocalypse?” Did Eric read my fic? I’m concerned. I chose to believe he skimmed it and didn’t notice how rusty my writing is. Also it was a two year time jump so as long as Andrew doesn’t figure out the answer to this question during the book, my fic stays canon compliant.

The Kid living with Andrew and Jamie would be hilarious, like, imagine Andrew cursing, The Kid repeating it and Jamie scolding both of them or Andrew telling The Kid something like ,,don't say that 'cause Jamie's gonna kill us, well, mostly me" and The Kid just laughing

Jamison (chapter 1)

Okay so you’re gonna throw us right into the angst huh? Do you hate me, Eric? Is that it? Kidding, obviously. I wouldn’t expect anything else from this book. I’m not immediately sure what the time jump is, they say it’s nearly Jamie’s birthday and if I’d gone back and reread the first book in time it would maybe be obvious to me, but right now I have no clue. I’m considering mentally giving Jamie stubble depending on the time jump, we’ll see.

First of all, in my head Daria looks like Michonne from the walking dead. Usually I spend a lot of time on my fan casts, but she popped right into my head and there she shall stay.

Secondly, I’ve gotta know what Andrew did to get kicked off the boat. I’m hoping they’ll get straight to it in Andrew’s chapter. I don’t think he broke something. Maybe a general questioning of authority? But I can’t see him getting kicked off for something minor so I’m expecting big things.

Third. Cara. My beloved. Doesn’t she already seem more confident? She’s thriving, as she should, despite the horrific backstory I’ve headcanoned for her.
