I absolutely love your version of Bert. Everyone usually just makes Bert the heartless bad guy, so it's really interesting to see him as a caring person deep down who's just been clouded by anger and jealousy. I also can't tell whether I want him to stay with Gerard or not. On the one hand, he could be good for Mikey. On the other, he could let out all his anger at the wrong time in the wrong place.
This was a great chapter-and ooooo cliffhanger!

Thank you very much, I'm extremely relieved that you liked my version of Bert. I've never written as him/about him, I was really quite worried about completely butchering it so it's very nice to hear that you think he's alright in this!
He's not a bad person and he really does care, he's just not the sort of person to really show it and definitely not let it show through his fog of jealousy. If that makes any sort of sense.
Thank you very much for taking the time to leave such an interesting review! :)
