            Jack and Ralph. Now those two are a topic. Their characters and personalities were made so well, as well as their relationship dynamic. The way they grew up together and grew with each other, they went through so much with the time Before and After the island and its recovery, the trial and the whole Jack being abused by Evan, and then Rebekah. And so many other tough times and situations, they were always together. At the start of their relationship Jack was always behind walls he’d build, as time passed and as he grew closer to Ralph he slowly started letting those walls down (very slowly, but with good progress) he let him in, (though it may seem he still has some more work to do - he’ll get there. I believe in him.) Ralph really did grow on him though. Ralph somehow figuring out how to keep up with Jack and his massive mood-swings & his constant pushing away (which was more in the beginning, but still there). But they both learned. They learned how be in a relationship together, learned how to be there for each other, how they each react to different situations -and to me- through each heartbreak and fight, they always came out being stronger than the last time. Now that’s absolutely gorgeous. 
            I found this story in January of 2023, on New Year’s Day. And read the first book within a week - best start to the year - these stories and characters became my life, I was always wondering what was going to happen next, and all the research you did for the trial, I’ll tell you right now it was so worth it. It made the story much more interesting and complete in my opinion, and I learned so much about how trials work, it’s so interesting and confusing, but I loved it.
            I loved every second, & minute of this series. Safe to say, I am in love with this series. I will love till the day I die. You have done a great job, and have created a MASTERPIECE.
            This series deserves an award  And best of luck for the next story or series you plan to write.
            ❤️️⭐️✨

            This was a lot longer than I expected it would be (this will be in 2 parts, but the series deserves it and much more than I can over, so anyway here it is… 
            
            This has got to be the best, most greatest, spectacular Jalph/LOTF Fanfic I have ever read. 
            The plot was an up and down experience, the emotions high and felt like loops on a roller coaster, (I felt the characters emotions in my heart, being and soul). Your writing is absolutely beautiful, and incredible, you truly brought the characters to life, (at points I felt they were real people that I knew-crazy) that’s how good you’ve written the characters, and their personalities, it’s truly impressive!
            This story made me feel like I was on a never ending roller coaster. The storyline was so put together, with the time differences, dates, the way everything was worded, and that every character had their own story and moment to shine✨. All the characters were amazingly put into the story and as individuals, Jeffery and Laurie and their care for Ralph, Jack and Paige is so heartwarming, they’re such great parents and people! They help the boys recover from the island, make a safe place for Jack and even Paige at time, help her get custody of Jack through out the trial, and always support these three whenever they’ve needed. That’s a beautiful, and pure thing to do. I love them.
            Paige always being the older sibling, making sure to be there for Jack and looking out for him. And finally getting official custody of Jack in the end of the trial made me so happy, both of them deserved so much better. Paige has always been apart of her brothers life, whether or not she now’s the full story, she always by Jack no matter what, it shows how she’ll always love her brother forever and nothing could change it. I love it!

@emmakatelyn8 AHHHH IM SO NERVOUS BUT SO EXCITED

New chap release postponed to later tonight

@emmakatelyn8 awesome! I can't wait to read it. I agree when I say I love the drama of the courtroom but there's something so magical you created about the boys relationship at home.
            Can't wait for the next chapter 

@whitedaisy_31 the one coming out today is based in East Point too, and is over 5K words! Definitely more fun to write sometimes than the courtroom drama stuff. These chapters are a bit of a break from that, but of course the story must continue 

@emmakatelyn8 THIS IS SO GOOD! I really hope we get more future chapters of them at ralphs house again!
