Review:  
After the summer at Lava Springs, Chad has kept himself distanced from Troy and the rest of the team. Determined to find out what’s happening with his best friend, Troy follows him and discovers Chad’s involvement with theater and Ryan Evans.

I’m not usually a fan of Troy Bolton, but this story, told mostly from his point of view, really sold me the character. Yes, Troy’s still a bit of an idiot, but he is also a loyal friend and makes for a fantastic narrator, at times funny and endearing and surprisingly understanding and accepting when it matters most.

The play Chad and Ryan are involved with (the “Gemini” of the title), is interesting and surprisingly well developed for something created for a fic. Besides the wonderful play itself, I was quite impressed with how liadan managed to showcase so much of Chad and Ryan’s relationship while they’re playing completely different people. Original, well written and beautifully developed, this is the best Chad/Ryan fics I’ve seen in months.

Gemini.
