Author Biography


I'm Steph from the UK and although Kev was always my favourite back in the old days, I now love all those boys (Nick maybe more than the rest).

I love that in a crisis the first person to call is Kevin, he is so calm and collected. I'm glad they are all coming, but I just hope Howie will be ok and they can all leave the hospital.

Can't wait for more!

Author's Response: Even if Kevin wasn't the "big brother," he seems like a good one to call in a crisis for exactly the reasons you said. Thanks for the review!

It's good to see Howie so positive and wanting to live now, he's got so much to live for!

I can understand that he's worried about it all going so well and his world will be turned upside down again. It will be just his luck. But he's got people around who love and will be there for him, even Nick won't be able to hide his feelings from everyone forever :)

Author's Response: I agree. It was hard writing suicidal Howie! I just don't see him that way. Thanks for the review, Steph!

Thank god it was just a viral infection!

Hmm I wonder if AJ really suspects or it was just a comment to annoy Nick.

Author's Response: That's a good question! I could see him having some suspicions just going back to their hookup on the cruise, but I also think he just likes to annoy Nick. Thanks for all the reviews! :)

Wow what a kiss, and Nick started it!

Aw, I loved that they watched the sunrise together and splashed around in the water too. Very romantic :)

Author's Response: Thanks! :) I figured Nick needed to make the next move in order for their relationship to go anywhere. It can't keep being Howie. This was a big step for Nick!

That chapter was great, and I really wanted them to end up in bed together! And I'm not even into slash lol, but this story is so believable and their relationship so genuine and I do love a good love story.

Author's Response: Ah, that's awesome!! I love hearing that. I was afraid this would be the chapter that scared away some of the non-slash people. I don't know that I'll ever write another slash, but now that I'm so invested in this one, I'm enjoying writing it. Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts!

Howie was doing the right thing by giving Nick space and not moving too fast as it's all so new to him having these feelings. I think he knows he's bi-sexual now, but is more worried about what other people will think of this.

Poor Howie though, just when things are looking up for him (he actually kissed Nick!) he gets ill again. Although I did laugh at Nick Plague lol.

Hopefully it's just a viral thing and he gets better soon. Looking forward to more :)

Author's Response: I think you're spot on with Nick being more worried about what other people will think. Poor Howie can't catch a break! (Probably because he's stuck with me as the writer.) Thanks for the review! :)

I actually laughed at Leigh saying Nick had busted Howie's butt, if only she knew!

She will miss the boys, I know I'd miss my kids if I didn't see them for 2 months :(

Looking forward to catching up on more chapters

Author's Response: That was my favorite line to write! Thanks, Steph!

That was such a lovely chapter and I'm glad Howie and Nick told Howie's family.

They may not be ready to tell the world yet, but they are making progress.

Loving it :)

Author's Response: Baby steps! They are definitely starting to get more comfortable telling people. Thanks, Steph! :)

I don't think they will keep it a secret for much longer, not now they are back in LA.

Author's Response: We'll see! Thanks for the review!

Oh no, I hope he's not rejecting the liver and it's just an infection they can treat :(

But it was nice of Nick to show him some affection in public, I think he needed it.

Author's Response: I think Nick needed to take that step, too. Thanks!

Thank god it's reversible, I just hope that's the case for Howie.

The fluid draining reminds me a bit of when my husband was diagnosed with dilated cardiomyopathy. His stomach was bloated and he was really short of breath. In the hospital he was given some intravenous drug which made him fill 18 bottles of all the fluid that had built up in his stomach and chest :(

Author's Response: Oh my! That sounds awful. :( I hope he is doing better these days!

Yes, this really is an emotional rollercoaster! Just when Howie and Nick are back together, he has to get sick again! I wonder what the cough is though?

Author's Response: Yes, yes it is. Thanks for coming along for the ride!

Oh my god, this is so sad :( I'm holding back the tears myself.

I did laugh at the Ebola thing though, trust Nick!

Author's Response: You know I never miss an opportunity to make an Ebola reference! Seems like a Nick thing to say/think.

I knew it was never going to end well for Howie, poor guy :(

Such a sad chapter, so real, so amazingly written.

Author's Response: I knew pretty early on that I was going to kill Howie, but actually writing it was awful. I have written so many sad stories, but the end of this one really did get to me. :( It just felt like it needed to be a tragedy, though. Thanks for the compliment!

That was an amazing story, absolutely loved it!

I'm glad at the end he found Lauren again and maybe everything will be ok for them in time.

Author's Response: Thanks so much, Steph! I'm glad you enjoyed it. As much as I loved Nick and Howie together, I always kinda wanted him to end up with Lauren because I love them together in real life. I'd like to think they worked things out. I've thought about writing a one-shot follow-up to this story about them someday. Thanks again for all the reviews!
