That's funny, Rhys has never had any slash stories and now in only a few days he's had 2. I'm sure Rhys would claim to be horrified, but secretly be very happy (if he were a real person).
This is a brilliant, brilliant fic. As others have mentioned, your pacing is superb. You also do such a good job writing for Josh. Josh is a very complicated young man in his mannerisms and his emotions, he's definitely not easy to write for. And your Rhys is right in character. I can easily see him differentiating between what he decides is good incest and what is bad incest.
The ending is just right. Josh is alone and in such pain, and the only person who might understand is the cause of that pain. Rhys finally decides to "do the right thing" (when he could have done that in the first place after the first time Josh kissed him) only after the damage is already done and poor Josh is devastated at Rhys' rejection.
This is great, and covers areas not covered before in Hollyoaks fic. I hope you have plans to write more for the show, whether with these two or another pairing.
