“There was duty, on one hand, but there was also love. His father was right. Love was something that you had to grow. He had grown it, and he was growing it still. Johnny Smith walked home.”
Gorgeous.
I hate the Johnny/Ripp fight. I know it’s inevitable, but… I hate how this is probably going to affect them.
The one problem I see with the whole trio working as a…trio is that I think Ripp loves Phi most. I think Ophelia loves her boys equally. And I think Johnny loves Ripp about as much as he loves Phi. But Ripp…he loves Johnny, but is it as much or even close to how much he loves Phi?
That scene on the balcony where Ripp and Johnny are hugging and Johnny is taking time to take in all that Ripp is? It’s … adorable. And really breathtaking how close they are. How Johnny, stick-up-his-ass Johnny, is comfortable and happy and a lot less afraid when he’s near Ripp. I just… how can the trio ever break apart? They work best together. Johnny clucks his tongue and Ripp make them laugh and Ophelia keeps them moving forward and together always.
But then Ripp talks about kissing Phi and the moment is broken.
Really great action shots and then the ones of Johnny holding Ripp down are also just…great. You’re very good at getting interesting poses and faces from your characters.
Johnny…you broke Ripp’s heart…the trio… D:
And Ripp realizing that he LOVES Ophelia is just… Oh, Ripp.
Oh and “In many ways, Ripp cared for Johnny most of all.” means that I can retract that thing from earlier about Ripp maybe loving Ophelia more than Johnny. I think the love between them is fairly equal in the end. But it’s hardly easy to accept where their lives have been heading. I mean, it’s not exactly the social norm. Though, to be fair, the three have never really been normal.
Phi loves Ripp and Johnny! LOVE. OMG this is just…the best chapter ever (except that Ripp is now SAD and they might break apart!). Johnny just needs to GET IT. A-and now the Phi and Johnny sex scene and baby Ripp who doesn’t care that they’re fucking, but just wishes he were in there too. Just wishes to be a part of that and oh, Ripp!
And then there’s sad Jaxy and traitor Gunnar and drunk, broken Ripp.
I think Ophelia gets it for sures. Now Johnny needs to get it too. And Ripp needs to realize that he’s wanted and needed.
