I guess I have to read some of your other works to fully appreciate the significance of this friendship (perhaps even relationship) between Corry and Scotty. I get the thing about contrast, and how it showed up in each chapter, so they compliment each other is that what?
Author's Response: You must have swiss-cheese for memory, man. :P

Love it. Contrast but completion (of a sorts) and so thrilled to see that Andy (Corry now) does indeed use the line about/to Scotty: But you're not a pebble either. Excellent.
Author's Response: Thanks, man. <3

That was something else from start to finish, Steff. Wonderfully written but then it's, on one side at any rate, Scotty...my Scotty not, the pretender. :)
Author's Response: Thanks so much, Mac.

Not a pebble, but you might just be a rock of strength.
Marvelously done.
Author's Response: It takes him a long time to realize that strength. But eventually, he does.

Oh, and here they are, soon to be friends. Scotty is of course stubborn and totally unwilling to ask for help, something I understand for sure.
Then we have Corry being the good natured fellow he is and trying to help him. And the two come together when Corry realizes, in a nice throwback, that Scotty's not a pebble either.
This was sweet. The descriptions of everything was concise but perfectly delivered. In such a short span of words you painted us a hell of a scene.
I love these guys. That is all.
Author's Response: I love 'em too. I never forget how much, but when it gets renewed, it makes me smile. Thanks for reading and sticking with 'em.

Oh, I love the callback to the not-a-pebble! So sweet.
I love how Corry doesn't know why he likes Scotty, he just DOES. And I love that Scotty is resigned to letting him like him.
"Corry settled in for the long haul."
He sure did.
Beautiful arc, Steff. Thank you so much for sharing it this week.
Author's Response: Scotty intrigues those rare few who bother to really look at him and wonder, "What's really going on with you?" He presents such an opaque front, most people never look twice. But those that do really look, I think. And indeed, Cor did settle in for the long haul. Thanks for reading and sticking with it!
