I am glad Nick's health is on the mend, but I think he is really having some issues inside himself. Hoping those come to light soon. Reading on :)

Author's Response: Yes, I think you may be right. Thanks for the review, Tracy!

First of all, I'm sorry for not reviewing in a while. Kind of fell out of reading for a bit but I'm back :)

Loved this chapter, I am glad Howie and Nick are kind of patching things up and Nick is trying, and that he and Lauren are taking care of him. But part of me thinks that Lauren is kind of making Nick uncomfortable with stuff and I think he is feeling like he's burdening her by staying with her. I just got this feeling. Hope that I am wrong. So happy to be catching up. Missed this story!

Author's Response: Wow, I really suck for not checking/responding to reviews in so long, but I'm about to update and am playing catch up. Thanks so much for the review, and no need to apologize - I understand!! :) I think you may have been on to something with your predictions. :)

Paging Dr Carter! Loved that. Such a good story. Loved this chapter. :)

Author's Response: Sorry for the late reply, but thanks for the reviews! :) I just saw them. I am a big fan of ER from back in the day, so I loved the paging Dr. Carter reference too.

It’s been more than a year since I read chapter 22. I just now read the last 12 chapters of this story and it was well worth the wait. This is A+ fanfiction material here.

So many emotional parts. I was misty eyed when AJ told Nick about the liver failure, when Howie told his bandmates he was turning down the transplant, and when Nick was visiting a dying a Howie. I needed to take breathers to remind myself that Howie is okay and to prepare myself for a possible grim end to Howie’s story. Leave it to Nick and his dramatic self to make it so Howie had to experience near-death for him to be receptive to Howie’s pleas for forgiveness.

So cute of Howie to have a little unrequited crush on Nick. I always thought Howie seemed too grossed out by Nick to feel that way, but there’s gotta be a reason why they’ve grown closer in more recent years. After all the awkward and angsty moments between them the past few months, I can’t wait to see what’s in store for their bromance now that they'll be living together. XD

Author's Response: Aww, thank you so much for coming back to this story and leaving me such a nice review! Last year was not a very productive year for me in terms of writing; I kind of hit a wall with the whole transplant storyline and didn't have a lot of time to resolve it, but now that I'm over that hump, I'm feeling really inspired again and trying to stay that way. I'm glad you're still enjoying it too! I know what you mean; it's always nice when Howie shares pictures of his family looking happy and healthy so I can remind myself that this is just a silly fanfic. I love what you said about "leave it to Nick and his dramatic self" - so true!! I really do think Nick needed to see Howie near death for him to realize he doesn't hate him and move forward toward a place of forgiveness. I have never tried to write slash before, and I started this story (well, the original short story first) as an experiment to see if I could write it seriously, so it was interesting trying to figure out how one or both of them could have feelings for the other. I can definitely see why Howie would be grossed out by Nick, but I can also see how, in a slash universe, he would develop feelings for this new, more mature (and much hotter!) version of Nick we've seen emerge over the last few years. I love their bromance in real life, and even if it never develops into a real romance like Howie would like in this story, it's fun writing about their relationship either way. Thanks again for the feedback; I appreciate it!

Awwwww the end of this chapter gave me the warm-fuzzies! It's so nice to see Nick and Howie interacting with one another again in a way that is almost "normal". I really do think that Howie recovering at Nick's house is the right choice (although, like Nick, I initially thought that Lauren was a crazy person for suggesting it). On a side note, I also HATE having my blood drawn. I feel Nick's pain in that department!! :D

Author's Response: Thanks for the review! As much as I love the drama, it was nice to write the two of them having an almost "normal" conversation again. I'm glad you enjoyed it too!
