@Seraph28 @chrstphrl Thank you☺️ Ivas is indeed a sympathetic character, and it was fun to bring him into the story. Although writing from a child’s perspective is a bit more challenging than writing from an adult’s.

Aaand Dailan makes his move! Plus, we’ll get the tea on the dude from his past. So excited! #TeamDailan

Well...... Why: well? because I'm not convinced. I can see how C and J plotted this - cleverl;y. Not how, even in the privacy of their own apartment - as, e.g., in the previous chapter - they acted as if the two of them were really ending a long-standing, once loving relationship. Maybe if such scenes had not been included in the entire story to mislead us, I would have been - yes: more convinced.

Thankfully James appeared to be at least almost "fleece-free" @drsawzall, unlike Dirty Declan. No surprises once that pucker playfully pulsated James' joystick juiced joyfully. At least did not become all uptight about enjoying butt play. Who knows, maybe he might enjoy a good pegging.

I get the feeling that Ivas is going to be a character I'm going to love.. Great chapter

Danielle - short, dumpy and bitchy, Tracy Turnblad with an attitude and without a sense of humour. I loved Killian's description that she had the "grace of a bulldozer". "Cringy" Craig - a much more pleasant person than "Dumpy" Danielle, who seemed to genuinely want to assist Killian with his investigation into Jake's change of circumstances and the reason for it. Kane had to grow up quick, it was a case of sink or swim growing up with his birthing vessel, the hideous skank Eve. Is she dead yet @Josh Aterovis? That event cannot occur soon enough, one murder you would not to solve, in fact, give the murderer a medal. Noah is certainly presumptuous, and his vanity appears to have no boundary. Is he desperate to make another "pair"? And what of Killian and Kane's woeful knowledge of "superhero" duos. They do not even have to travel far back in time. In my lifetime there have been many besides Batman and Robin. What of Bert & Ernie, Sonny & Cher or the Eurythmics. And who can forget the Captain & Tennille.

@centexhairysub To be honest, I'm normally writing on the darker side of realistic, so if I'm too something while trying for the fluffy side, please forgive me. 😅 Though I do know some people who are like this. Not many, but they exist. And yes, Kevin needs to find some confidence and gain some sense of self-worth.

I promise in the next chapter, Andrew is going to kick Silas right in the small danglies

Careful or Will will write a sternly worded letter!

Just to note, aside from plot: This chapter is written in an interesting style--more poetic than narrative. The unique ways each character looks at the happenings of the trip and the peculiar comments each of them makes creates an entertaining mode of storytelling. A good chance for LB to show off his writing skills!

Oh my!...Ivas suddenly gets agency...that is marvelous...It's always nice when you add these new characters who are interesting!

This was a great read. Enjoyed it. Keep writing! Hugs💙

Better pissed than "a bit miffed". Now that's serious...

Three in the morning. And they were on the move already. Mason peered out the bus window into the floodlit darkness that was Fort Sill. He couldn’t say he’d miss this place. Then again, he’d never really committed to making the best of the place. Scraping by, trying to avoid notice as much as possible, that was more his style, even if it hadn’t quite worked. His wandering eyes caught a hint of motion. A dark hoodie, concealing the face of one spoiled fundie, hidden just out of sight. Or he w

God...the day thr Order is eviscerated will be my happiest day!...That outfit is just too powerful ..they have reach even in the US government... You once said Andrew and Will have been a bit calm....now is the time for the two to let loose.....Silas Abernathy cannot keep winning....at the rate it's going am going to get stress😂😂

@Summerabbacat that pretty much nailed it! lol

I would be more than pissed too....

We all know Andrew's now pissed, next chapter:

Telling @clochette to "stop perving out" is the exact opposite of encouragement.

Agreed @Paladin. It was a short story which Ang Lee attempted to make into a full length movie. I was very disappointed with it, probably more so because I loved The Wedding Banquet (gay themed), The Ice Storm and Sense & Sensibility, all of which Ang directed magnificently. Contrary to all the movie "experts", I did not like Heath Ledger's performance at all as he mumbled constantly. Critical bitch that I am thought "surely there are other ways to portray angst and internalised homophobia" without mumbling the whole fucking time. I also thought there was only so many times I could watch sheep grazing on a hillside before it became somewhat boring, no matter how many different angles they were photographed from. I found it amusing when I left the cinema there were three gay gays a similar age to me who sat nearby and their reaction to the film was "way too long, bored shitless after a while".

Yay, I found the “origin” of this story again. It developed from the comments on this post:

Still you, I was just providing encouragement.

And who's the perv now? 🤨

Traverse City and Traverse Bay in the springtime are known for their cherry blossoms, which are everywhere. I’ve only been there in the summer, but lived in the Maryland suburbs of D.C., where cherry blossoms are in abundance in April. The Tidal Basin is known for its cherry trees, which were a gift from Japan. The sakura in Japan are supposed to be more beautiful than anywhere else. I’ve been to Japan multiple times, but never in the spring and it’s so far from New York. As for cherry pie, I didn’t like it as a kid and will tolerate it now if it’s all that’s available. I much prefer a Dutch apple pie, pecan pie or pumpkin pie. I’m particularly partial to sweet potato pie but my favorite of all is cheesecake, and Junior’s has a well-deserved reputation for making the best. It’s guaranteed to clog your coronaries in seconds. The fudge that Christian bought sure sounds tempting though.
