When he tries to commit all at once to taking care of a newborn, reconnecting with childhood best friend Charlene, and starting a relationship with Jon, Stephen begins to lose the tight grip he's kept on his past. He's going to need the support of his friends and loved ones more than ever, as he and all the other people he's been face down a hurricane of repression, trauma, pain, pleasure, hurt, loss, healing, and Hannah Montana.

Featuring 108,000 words of story, 8,000 of bonus meta, three new mixes, and half a sketchbook's worth of illustrations. Plus 175% more continuity, characterization, and consistency than the original version, all for the same low price.

A whisper at the back of his mind (don't listen to him don't let him scare you), and he almost missed what Jon said next: "Stephen, are you still having memory problems? Not just for the, uh, the stuff you used to do, but more recently?"

Hands up if you saw this coming a mile away.

Five different ficlets based on the outline which Stephen's writers helpfully provided in last week's monologue. Detailed though it was, it's still marvelously open to interpretation. How much of it is literal? Who is the mysterious "Jonathan"? Is anyone else hungry for cupcakes with icing tuxedos now?

( —well, that just proves he's straight, doesn't it? Gay people wouldn't want forever in the first place. )
