I grinned at the screen like an idiot at the end... It might be that I'm an absolute sucker for all things Frank in fiction, but I think you're bringing out him being Tristan's big brother perfectly! You don't hang on to it too much, because the main characters are clearly Gerard and Tristan, and somehow even some of the others seem more prominent than Frank, but I think it's really cool because I have an older brother too and this is exactly the way we act. I'm not often even aware of him being there, I'm practically shamefully uninterested in whatever he's up to. I don't really pay a lot of attention to his whereabouts or doings, not until that moment when I truly fucking need him and realize he's right there. Or, when he catches me doing something he's not particulatrly fond of and decides to use his older brother authority on me. Just like Frank and Tristan. I love it!!!

I love putting brotherly stuff with Frank in there. I just think about how my brothers would react in these situations and this is what comes out.
I am so happy you enjoy those moments. I think Frank is just a huge part of Tristan's life because they are all each other has really and they are now traveling together in this band and they will fight and get on each other's nerves, but would do anything for each other. That's love and I love that about them.
These characters have took on a life of their own and I just love writing them.
I hope you love the next installment. It's gonna be a tear-jerker and super hot. September 11th is here. The anniversary. Prepare yourself.
