[Nephylim] Teacher's Pet

[Nephylim]

Superb chapter, Neph!!

 

Things still look bleak, but for some reason I'm feeling better. I'm pretty sure it has a lot to do with the clarity that Josh now has around his relationship with Ash.

 

It's working out that Josh taking Hendicott's advice was a wise move. I'm surprised Josh was able to think through that one.

 

I know Ash is going to be ok. If not, I'm hiring professional stalkers.

 

Just loving this story.

 

 

I've never had a stalker before... let alone a professional one. Maybe I should rewrite the ending a bit... no wait, I don't need to.. or do I

 

Yes, Josh has a great deal more clarity now about the way he feels about Ash. it's about priorities... is a career, a reputation, really all that important when weighed in the balance next to love... especially with someone like Ash. It's easy to get the impression that Josh is the professional, the one who is together and knows who he is and what he wants... and that Ash is the troubled, confused, immature one. But is that really the case. I hope that I am challenging those preconceptions.

 

Isn't Josh the one who is confused and out of his depth, dealing with his emotions in a fairly immature way... while Ash is nowhere near as confused or troubled as everyone seems to think he is (at least not until these chapters and not about the way he feels about Josh. He is the one who is prepared to sacrifice it all for love. he is the one who goes for it. He is the one who takes the hard decisions.

Chapter 8 was deliciously sweet! Just loved it!

 

I must say it's a relief to be off the rack, Neph! I am feeling nicely stretched, though.

 

Ash's father's turnaround was a bonus! Good on him! Family is important.

 

My favourite part was when Josh said he couldn't wait to show off his boyfriend to all his friends.

[Nephylim]

Glad you liked it. And you get all your back problems fixed as a bonus. The last chapter ties up some loose ends and has a couple more surprises. Perhaps it is an irrelevancy, perhaps I should have stopped here... only time... and you will tell

 

Thank you

You are very welcome. I am glad you enjoyed it.

[Conner]

That was a beautiful closing chapter. I deserved it too!

 

The love scene was so touching. It really was.

 

In the back of my mind, though, I was thinking that Josh might have to take Ash back to the hospital and explain to that doctor why Ash was so exhausted again.

 

Beautifully written and beautifully told, Neph!

Thank you. Some kinds of exhaustion are worse than others. Some are wel worth it

Thank yu for your support it is very much appreciated

Ha ha, I had the same thought.

[Nephylim]

I have a feeling that if that had to happen they would be looking for a whole different reason/excuse. I can just imagine them in the A&E department at the window explaining the cause of the problem being sexual exhaustion I would LOVE to be next in line if that happened. but then I'm nosey.

[Fishwings]

Just finished the final chapters, and they were great! I loved your descriptions, especially in last chapter and the stressful scene in which Josh was searching for Ash. The last chapter was just too sweet.

 

This particular quote struck out to me:

 

 

 

[Nephylim]

Thank you Fishwings. I am really glad you liked the story. I was wondering about the last scene, whether it was 'just' gratuitous sex but I thought it was important. One of my goals in the story was to develop Josh and Ash in parallell. In the beginning it appears that Ash is a troubled teen, confused and with bad attitude and Josh is the sophysticated confident big city man. As the story progresses and we learn more about the characters and they get more embroiled in their feelings Ash comes over as more and more the one who is confident and certain of who is he is and what he wants while Josh slowly falls apart until he realised the truth. The last scene was about reinforcing that... showing that Ash is no child, and Josh is all that together and they are essentially equals

 

I'm really glad you liked it and that quote you put in is pretty much indicative of my philosophy... love is the key... to life, the universe and everything.

[Fishwings]

Your welcome, and I love how your story is made around this philosophy : D!

For some strange reason I failed to re post this one, I could have posted chapter by chapter but hey, it was my mistake so here it is

 

Thanks Phana for pointing this out

Oh Jeez! I'm SO embarrassed!

I just (well-earlier) read the whole story! I couldn't let it go! And since I didn't know that there was a thread---DAMN!

If I am allowed to rate this story w/o the whips and chains of other stories getting in the way..."Teacher's Pet" has to one of your best, Nephy!

It is so tense throughout, and so tingly as it gets nearer to the end.

Thanks, Nephy, SO much!

 

ps: I wonder what the Hel ELSE you have stuffed in those boxes and drawers?

[Agaith]

Well I read the first chapter of this to relax me before my exam and then I couldnt stop reading it once I got back!

I agree with Phana it was truly an excellent story, very vivid and a gorgeous ending.

 

Here's another hug because you are just that special Nephy

[Nephylim]

It's none of your business what I have in my drawers

 

Thanks both of you. I wrote this story for the novella competition but didn't enter it because I wrote a better one That being said, I really did and do like this one. I have no idea why i forgot to bring it over from efiction. I thought i had got them all

 

I do have a few shorts hanging around but I haven't posted them because i feel they're a bit samey. You know where I am on the torturing characters scale and how much I like hospital beds and pain. Well... I do try to vary the back story but you know.. meh.

 

Anyway I'm really glad I posted this story and glad that you like it.

 

You'll be glad to know I'm working on another fluffy bunny one.... well black fluffy bunnies with razor blades and anger mangement issues which is about as flufffy as I get.

 

Aggie your hugs are always appreciated.
