I adore Elliott, like whoa. He was totes my fave in season 5.
I love how despite finding out that Chris is gay, Blake doesn't just automatically assume that they'll get together
So I'll have to tell you, ever since I started writing slash, my biggest pet peeve has been characters not "realizing" their sexuality until they fall for their One True Love, whether that implies that they are only gay for that person, or they didn't know about their gay until that person. In the experience of my friends, that first relationship is almost never the one that sticks because coming out is such a thing on its own. In the fics I've written I've always made the sexuality separate from the romance. I understand why that doesn't usually happen in Cake fics, so I don't get grouchy about it there, but as a general rule it's something I like to avoid.
I am so pleased you are enjoying it, and you leave the most fun comments. Thanks so much!
