And then I linked this song. . . .
www.youtube.com/watch?v=Czb5P_pw8Fc&ob=av3n
I don't usually link songs, but it SERIOUSLY applies.
. . . save the 'drunk' part. But trust me. That'll be happening later.
Also, it's worth mentioning, this is NOT the end of the comic. Quite a few more pages to go.
'Unconditional' is now available for pre-order, right here: http://furplanet.com/shop/item.aspx?itemid=594
Now mind you, none of these orders will be shipping until the end of June. But if you put in your order now, you're guaranteed a copy :)
The printed version of Unconditional includes the entire story, in color, as well as five pages that will not be posted online. These pages include a few adult scenes, but mostly, they are an epilogue to Marcus and Reis's story.
Note: If you order one of these books online, you will NOT be able to pick up your copy at Anthrocon, unless you're purchasing a separate copy. Just wanna make that clear. This is NOT a pre-order for Anthrocon pickup!
It's also worth mentioning, we will likely not have many copies at AC this year, due to the amount of time it takes to print. I'm sure Furplanet will bring as many as they can, but if you ABSOLUTELY want to nab a copy at AC, be prepared to be in the Dealer's Den Friday morning, first thing, or you may miss out
This comic is a sequel! The first comic, 'Cruelty', can be read here: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/3704554/
Posting this disclaimer on every page, so no one can say they didn't see it. No need to read it if you already have, it's just for newcomers:
- This comic will contain adult content, swearing, violence, death, and some very difficult political and social subject matter. If you're the sort of sensitive person who can't handle that, this comic is not for you.
- Not ALL of the content in this comic will be posted online. I'll be withholding one of the adult scenes from the online release, reserved for the eventual print release. HOWEVER. Just like 'Cruelty', this comic WILL have one full adult scene posted online. Any complaints about the withheld content will be ignored, and likely scorned by the folks who DO enjoy what's posted online. So don't be an ass.
- This comic is GAY. GAY GAY GAY GAY GAY! I cannot express this ENOUGH, seeing as there was some confusion with 'Cruelty'. This comic follows the storyline of 'Cruelty' regardless of which 'path' you took, but it is assumed the characters eventually began a relationship. The comic deals with gay issues, as well as a gay relationship. Deal with it, or GTFO.

yes. we've spent time together. And it's always been hard to say goodbye each time. People say that it's harder to go into a long distance relationship if you've been together for a while, but I dunno about that. It's still pretty hard to finally have your loved one in your arms only to have to let them go again every time you see each other.
Having a long distance relationship doesn't make it a bad situation for their relationship. I've been in one for almost five years and it's the strongest relationship I've ever had. I can talk to him about anything, which is not really something I could do with friends or family who I've known for at least twice as long as that.
I've seen you post a couple times here, so I figured it would be worth mentioning..
It is completely, wholeheartedly, and 200% different to meet someone online or at a con, have an online relationship, and see each other occasionally than it is to be in a two year relationship with someone who's been there, physically, with you.. Sharing the same.bed, home.. Not really being away from each other for two years, THEN the relationship being cross country, online, and over the phone. It'd be extremely painful, and not something most people would be able to do, especially with how busy and different their schedules are probably going to become.

Right now their relationship is ... a bit strained. So it's not the best situation to turn a 24/367 relationship into something long distance.
Might work irl, sure .. had my share of long distances myself ... but don't forget we're dealing with a comic story here and a very tragic one on top of that.
So I'm pretty sure Rukis has still a few aces up her sleeve to make us go "NOOOOO!" like she did during the last couple of pages.

the only thing you can do, really, is wait and see what happens. She's thrown us so many twists for the worst parts of life that perhaps she'll throw us a twist for the best parts of life too. Of course, that's not to say that she might not go and totally make us hate her for the ending, but we all know she's going to give this story a proper ending.
Its ok Reynard. *hands you a tissue* They may be apart, but they will be together in thought. And this isn't the last page as Rukis said. Let alone the "Epilouge" mentioned. Listen, last night I wasn't feeling well either...till I watched this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JEMdXhfO-Wk
Things will get better. I know I doubted them before, but sometimes we have to make a sacrifice. They still have a heart for a each other...

Here's another song that you might want then :3

Sorry I just meant in general I didn't see the humor in it.
If it made you feel better though then great....I'm seriously predicting some seriously bad shit though....Based on the dialogue? It's pretty damn clear both of them have in a very subtle fashion have come to terms that their relationship is on the decline and are content to just let it wither away.
Reis is trying to be optimistic...But right there at the end when he says, "Maybe when the times right we can find a way....." And just trails off...

It's just because this is really sad... And I mean a cop knocking on your door at night when you're parter should be home from work, kinda sad... Having a laugh helps break the sadness. It's not meant to downplay anything serious going on though. Just helps to lighten up the mood just a bit. :)
Well this would be incredibly sad if I wasn't a soulless blackhearted motherfucker.
...
What would be even worse is if in a couple years from now they meet up again and Reis had waited for him and Marcus...hadn't.
Or the opposite, but somehow I find the first to be more likely.
Now THAT would be bleak and soul crushing.

This is one of the best comics I have ever read.
If I ever finally get of my bum and start practising animation I'm gonna try and make a music video of the song linked for this picture, But I'm gonna use Reis and Markus in it.
I'm buying the printed version of this comic, I just need to scrape the cash together somehow
Rukis you are one of the utmost awesome comic writers ever!

I swear... I've gone through something oh so similar to this earlier this year. Moved out to my mate's home town. Tried to set something up but it just wasn't working for me until all I really had there was him. And things weren't even working well for him either. Still love him lots, but I had to move somewhere else just to try putting my stuff back together. We held it off until the last moment, but I had to make a choice. Spent a long while in his arms just like that when I had to break it off.
The major factor that made me move wasn't just the money issue. We had to stay with his parents by the end. His parents are former marines and religious. No idea how they would have taken knowing. Couldn't act like a couple with them around. :\
Perhaps down the line we'll get things going again. Time will tell.

It's a good thing I don't drink, because there have been some nights...
My boyfriend was living on base in Germany when we met. Now he's going into his 6th week of basic training for the USAF. Long distance is all we've known, so it works for us. With Marcus and Reis, since they've never really known that it CAN work, they don't even try.
Major bummer
Man I hope it works out between them in the end. Following their story has helped me understand a few things about my own life and love in general. It'd be painful to watch them fall apart but sometimes that's just real life and if there's one thing I admire most about these stories, it's Rukis' ability to bring in so much realism. It's beautifully done.
I must be really jaded or made of stone cause I read this and understand whats going on, but i don't feel anything inside of me making me feel sad or upset about whats going on...I'm not joking BTW i don't feel anything emotional at all other then this is a good comic that gives a great inside look at how things are for people who are gay and such. Other then that, I'm not socked that he wants to move back home and start his own life, a real man can't feel happy living off someone else, he has to stand on his own 2 feet, also it gives the other person to much leverage over your life if you live off of them. They can have to mush say so over your life if you do something they don't like or kick you out and your on your own. I bet things will work out in the end, they always do somehow.
I moreso mean Disney ending as in a happy ending. Like, seeing the stars after a stormy night. I'm basically just hoping they can pull through it, though I think it will largely rely on Marcus. Reis seems ready, devoted, and faithful. Marcus seems so unsure though, faithful in Reis, but not himself.
Well yea I knew what you meant but not everything has a happy ending in real life is basically what I was saying.. it seems they both have doubt in themselves actually.. I mean Reis said so himself but I guess he wants to prove something to himself.. Marcus on the other hand has acted pretty independent when he is dependent underneath. *shrug* Time away is a good thing but it also has it's risks. You just have to know that you need to be strong.. not just for yourself but for the other person.
I guess we'll just see what happens
I guess we'll just see what happens
Thank you, Rukis, for yet another mindblowing comic.

Many versions of this song exist. Here are the most complete lyrics I've found (not everything is sung in the above video)
Kind friends and companions, come join me in rhyme
Come lift up your voices in chorus with mine
Let us drink and be merry, all grief to refrain
For we may and might never all meet here again
Chorus :
Here's a health to the company and one to my lass
Let us drink and be merry all out of one glass
Let us drink and be merry, all grief to refrain
For we may and might never all meet here again
Here's a health to the wee lass that I love so well
Her style and her beauty, sure none can excel
There's a smile upon her countenance as she sits on my knee
Sure there's no one in this wide world as happy as we
(Chorus)
Our ship lies at harbor, she's ready to dock
I ohpe she's safe landed without any shock
If ever we should meet again by land of by sea
I will always remember your kindness to me
(Chorus)
I have read the old proverb, I have read it so true
My love she's as far as the bright morning dew
I have read the old proverb, I suppose so have you
So good friends and companions I bid you adieu.
(Chorus)
My footsteps may falter my wit, it may fail
My course may be challenged by November gale
E'er fortune shall prove to be friend or be foe
You will always be with me wherever I go.

I would make a comment about the comic itself, how the situation is sad. But I've gotten spoilers so I can't say anything about it yet whether things get worse for their relationship or better.
On the other hand, I can post my experiences about long distance relationships. They ARE hard, but very doable with determination. As I've said more times than I can count, I've been in a long distance relationship for almost 5 years now and we've worked damn hard to make it work. And it has. The times he's with me in person have always been the happiest times of my life.
Rukis, I'm not quite sure if you remember my boyfriend, but he enjoyed the conversations with you at FWA and you've got a huge fan out of both him and myself. Pushing for this long distance relationship between Marcus and Reis can only make their bonds stronger in the end.

tl;dr?
LDRs aren't bad if you're determined to make them work. Been in one for almost 5 years.

I feel a few here have mentioned how sad/depressing this is, but yet how good this comic is, or how close it mirrored a similar situation in real life. And that is the key as to why this is so good. Life is not all huge penis and flying colored ponies! Life is hard, sad, and depressing at times. People have problems, people get sick, and people even die. It is all part of life. And though the characters may be covered in fur and walk on their toes, it is that close association/parallels to real life that draws us in so deeply to what you have depicted here, and engenders such praise. And that praise it is well deserved. (And thank you for no giant dicks as well!)
I don't know what is more infeasible at the moment, that they live together and get a happily ever after or stay mostly separated for 2 years and get a happily ever after. So yeah i see no chance for a relationship to work here. Still this the one of the most romantic and stunning 2 pages in not just furry comics but comics in general.
then again many comics have fully sentient animals, perhaps that last part was redundant.

I'm like the only person who isn't crying . I also feel like I'm the only person who is actually like "oooh breakup? :D"

No seriously though, it's nice to see couples' fights and hiccups in relationships in fiction. Or, I should say reasonable couples' fights. XD (Seriously, it made me pull my hair out when Ben's wife left him for becoming the THings in the fantastic four movie).

Or, you know. You guys could actually plan things so that this is temporary? Plan to come back together when things are in order? Honestly, if they're both more concerned with their own careers instead of their relationship, this wasn't going to work. If their relationship really mattered, they'd find a way to make it work. But Reis is more concerned with his own contribution than the relationship itself, and Marcus has gone from actually being there to pulling a "I want my beloved to be happy". They both have a lot to learn if they want their next relationships to work out. But then again, they're only twenty or so. Twenty year-olds suck at making making life decisions (in general, no offense to anyone!).
I think "come back together when things are in order" is the plan. Both parties want to have meaning in their lives, and both parties also see their relationship differently. I believe that's why there's been so much strain on their relationship. If anything, their relationship is unhealthy because they're too attached to each other, and that's why Reis has been bucking a bit. At present, Reis' life revolves solely around Marcus, and that's not healthy; he needs more in his life than the relationship, as important as that is. Marcus is pursuing personal things, while at the same time being too engrossed in his love for Reis. They need this time alone I believe; Marcus to emotionally mature and strengthen, as he's been too dependent on Reis for personal emotional support about being gay, and Reis needs to seize this opportunity to have a true purpose in his life, something he's lacked his entire life. Now, while he could theorhetically apply to the force where they're at, his greatest odds of getting into the academy are back home, with the help of his old PO.
Both sides need to grow up, in different ways, if the relationship is going to survive, and I believe they can't do that growing together. It's something each needs to do on their own.

I woke from a sound sleep this morning, with the rain coming down in such a soothing way to keep me lulled away in dreams, but none of that could erase the thought in my head that....Rukis probably has some new pages posted, I have to check! XD Like every great tale, I am going to be very sad when this story comes to a close no matter what path it ends up taking. You are so awesome =D
Reminds me just a little bit of my coming out story. I was in the Air Force, and in 2001 had just started chatting with other furries for the first time. I had never really thought about being gay, particularly because of being in the military. I had started chatting with a fur in particular I was really starting to like. I made plans to meet/visit him for the first time for my 21st birthday...then came 9/11. The day before I was to take my vacation, my squadron was called up and in 72 hours I was on a plane to Qatar. While deployed, I found myself calling him more often than my own family. I didn't know exactly what it was I was feeling, until he sent an email stating that he had gotten a boyfriend. I felt devastated, that I was too late.
Happy ending, though. Now we're together, and I'm no longer in the Air Force! ^.^
Happy ending, though. Now we're together, and I'm no longer in the Air Force! ^.^
I'm sorta reminded of Dolly Parton's I will always love you when I read this one I must say this is such a bittersweet scene all things are layed out: Reis reveals his want for purpose, Marcus shows us that he's not quite the invinciable white knight without Reis, but at the end they must part ways-maybe they'll meet again, maybe not. Someone mentioned this above but I must agree I sense an undertone of doubt in these two that their relationship will continue. And an a way, that's real love-utter unselfish love.
Oh my god
this page really hits home for me.
This kind of relationship is hard any way you put it, whether it's having to move a town over, or half the world. I've moved a state over to be with my (now husband) and the challenges feel endless. Through missing my small but close family, to feeling lost without him whenever I leave.
Though I've found Marcus to be irrational and irritating, he's realistic. Same with Reis too. They feel like people I know, or bits of myself at times.
Thank you for making your characters so believable (dialogue too) and not just putting out a comic of mindless sex. It's an inspiration!

Rukis, your art and storytelling really brings out emotion in all of us!
As happy and satisfied as I'd be if this were the final scene (it's just that beautiful), I'm glad we still got a lil ways to go. There's still a non-online sex scene our wolf and fox gotta get to.

While everyone is posting songs that they think fit... I hope this one doesn't come true: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=20lwHaiomC4 (Tallulah by Sonata Arctica)
After all... Jacob is still at large in the world and, apparently, poor Marcus will be all alone, distraught and vulnerable in the empty house...

As mentioned before, even if I can't relate to the gay issues (which anger me regardless), this comic feels personal now after the last few slides... :/ My ex fiance moved back to my home town and now looking at it from this perspective, it's like reliving it all over again.
I did EXACTLY act like marcus with my first love. The same discussions, the same problems (really!). It's kinda shocking me to read nearly the story of my life in this comic. The same scene, as he left. But eventually, after one year, I got him back for now six years and still more to come ;)
So GOD DAMN IT marcus, HOLD ON!
So GOD DAMN IT marcus, HOLD ON!
This part touches a deep nerve between me and my mate (she being alil younger but still very far away) I feel for reis because I can't be there to take care of her and it hurts knowing she's in pain (mental and family) and I try my best to keep her safe and happy but woth me soon to go to college and turn 18 it puts a huge strain on us.... but its almost a year next month so woot
And im shocked at how close this makes me thinks of my mate (almost called her Marcus last night) but I still love this story.
there's my two cents

Oh man... These last few pages... Remind me so much of myself and my own mate.
We're currently in a long distance relationship, and I just want to be with him so bad, and I would never want to let him go once we were finally together. But at the same time, I couldn't hold him back from an opportunity that would seriously better his life, even if it meant being apart from him again. Because I just love him so damn much.

I was thinking the same. Or Marcus will leave his school to be with Reis some point after. This could prove Marcus is willing to give up everything to be with Reis and prove his unconditional love. It could even come as advice from a friend, Jacob per instance. Maybe then most here would stop hating on them so much and just make this group realize they're based on normal people with normal feelings and emotions. Something some here seem to lack.
That last panel, it's so... sooo...

... Ooo-kay, wait just a tic, Rukis. You're not copyinp/pasting, are ya? That's cheating, ya know! It's an absolutely beautiful panel, but... c'mon! It's CHEATING!

Yeah, I'm quite aware of how webcomics use repetitive panels. Sometimes hard copy-based comics even do the same. Don't even have the decency to adjust the zoom, the coloring, or the panel size, Not even the speech bubble or even what's being said. It's just CTRL/C and CTRL/V. I can understand its use in webcomics, but with in-print comics, IMHO, it seems just lazy to me.
Plus, I was joking hence the lil devil face. Your art is some of the very best I've encountered online in the last decade that I've been in the furry fandom. No offense was meant whatsoever. I just like to try to stir the pot on occasion.

True, but he has been acting that way without realizing it. Reis getting hurt and going back to Mayfield is just the wake up call that Marcus needed, he has admitted that. He knows that he is going to have to grow up and become stronger, and it will have to be without Reis by his side like he wants.
If you think about it, some people can come across as being arrogant dicks without realizing it.

Imagine rather thick barbed wire wrapping around your heart and a 50mm round ripping a hole through its center. That is exactly what I felt when I read this page and listened to Kevin Urban's song at the same time. Dammit, I couldn't even finish the song because I was starting to choke up...
One second,"STAAAAAAAAAY!!!I BEG YOU!!!"
Then after a few pannels of venting, Marcus suddenly becomes "Go on without me!I can't do this to you!!"
Poor Reis...any other guy would be hell as confused and wouldn't be able to say anything.
I'm going to hell for this,but I THINK IT'S HORMONES TALKING.
Still love the both of them to bits.XD

I've got a few ideas of where this is gonna go from here, and that's one of 'em. Jacob might learn about Marcus leaving Reis, and if the artist is evil enough she'll give us one final image of Jacob with an evil smirk on his face. Cliffhanger city. But I'm hoping that's not gonna happen and Jacob's gonna a better guy than that.
For all the other people along with me with fervid belief that things will work out between these two in the end ... listen to THIS song:

I hate you Rukis.. and I mean that in the most loving way possible :P
It's like everything you do with these two, it pulls out bittersweet feelings. You already know of my related feelings to Cruelty... I won't discuss these publicly but there are many instances especially these last few pages have hit a tender spot.
I love things like this.. Music, movies, books.. anything that grabs my heart and pulls on it while also hitting my personal feelings. I guess I like intense stuff like that. I don't know why.. maybe it makes me feel more alive..maybe it makes me think about things deep within..
Anywho I can't wait for the final pages even tho I wish it wasn't ending soon :P

God DAMN it, Rukis.
Now this is a STORY.
You've successfully constructed believable characters in a somewhat complicated fictional scenario...covering the little nuances of personality and a relationship. As relatively short as it's been (to say, a full length novel), you could end it right here and i would applaud fervently your efforts.
You, madam, have my deepest respect.

Hey Rukis, if this were an anime, THIS would be the absolutely PERFECT theme song!

Man, Reis is making the worst decision of his life here. Not for the fact that he has someone here that would like him there or anything, but going BACK to a place that he's had horrible history with? He's caught up in his past, hasn't let it go, and now is going back to it all. I honestly find myself frustrated at this comic just because I want to tell that stubborn dude to let it go. Start something new for God's sake and just work on making something of yourself in a new place. Grr, haha.
Oh god... the emotion in that last panel... the shadows being cast, mixed with the tears that the previous panels have established are there... then you throw in the song and if I were the type to do so I would be bawling like a newborn cub! but I did tear up just enough I had to wipe it away...
I also know the pain of having to deal with an ACL injury... those braces S-U-C-K, almost as bad as the physical therapy that is involved... I shuddered when the doctor said torn ACL and felt old pains return for a second out of sympathy for Reis.
