  2. Justice was served. Fred worked to correct the wrongs cause by Silas and even made sure he and Fred was compensated for wrongful imprisonment. Silas died an alcoholic and poor within 5 years. Sebastian served his time and found a job as a real estate lawyer--in Fred's former firm. Fred and Mo got married. Fred's career contnued strong and Mo was hired as a chef. Both are very happy. All's well that end's well.
  3. Over the next three years, Robert and I made several trips to Avalon located in Greenland. The discovery of the treasure trove of cores was by itself instrumental, but the equipment and notes that Merlin left behind were even more important. The two-hundred-thirty-three cores had been depleted over a thousand years by the facility supercomputer and twelve guardians, whose consciousness existed in one core and consumed a core every 60 years. Merlin had left very little room for error because the

    It will be most interesting to find out what the solicitors have and did with the papers. Might there be shenanigans there too? This story definitely needs further sequels!
  5. Chapter 27 Major internal reactions are happening in this alternative version of English history, especially with the addition of Omegas in the mix. When reading Omegaverse stories, I've always wondered, how would the introduction of Omegas, essentially gay/bisexual men with the ability to have children with other men, affect a society? Then, I considered what would the big religious implications be for dominant belief systems, like Christianity. Due to how I set up my timeline, especially with the early encounter of Eli and John Knox, I had essentially killed Puritanism before it had a chance of gaining roots, wiping out a whole host of modern Protestant sects (many of whom have very negative fundamentalist foundations). In its place, an early version of Enlightenment Theism and idealism became central third faction within English faith factions. Nominally, both Protestants and this new upstart faction were allies against Catholicism, but they were natural foes as I have hinted at over the story. An important problem would put their difference into open view: Omega transitions. I am not a Trans person, but I do think it's worth exploring the issues of the issue in a fantasy context. Usually female and gay male writers of Omegaverse just leave the concept of Omegas without thinking deeper, but the transition of normal human males into Omegas raises a major species-wide issue on several fronts, including the ideas around faith. If Human beings can create a new gender without God, who defined only Male and Female, then it puts into the question the fundamental principle behind Judeo-Christianity itself. If man can essentially become God, then why have prayer, read books, or visit churches? Most importantly, why is society offering billions of dollars to an organization that offers wishful thinking, when other human beings can achieve the same thing with scientific knowledge and advanced technology. The reality of Omega transition is a scary proposition in a science fantasy setting, but in the real world, the idea of transgender people are just as scary, attacking the underlying concept behind belief systems that require absolute truths. I know I left the chapter off in a cliffhanger, but students of history know what I am hinting at. Heck, even the movie Elizabeth made this an important plot point for the fictional reign of Queen Elizabeth I. Yes, Eli has an heir and these compromises seem to offer a momentary peace between various factions of England, but fundamentally, there's a lot weaknesses in a noble-based system. This week's law of Power is the 45th law of Power, "Preach the need to change, but never reform too much at once”. It has two meanings for this chapter, considering the need for religious settlement due to the discovery of Omega conversion technology at Avalon for public use and the religious factionalism in English noble society due to the split on the ideals of what can and cannot be allowed, like creating a new human gender. Notes: 1. Greenland really is one of the lowest populated landmasses in the world with just barely 60K population. It was settled in 1721, but it never really grew. 2. The historical Acts that Parliament passed for the settlement of Civil and Religious society in England were the Acts of Uniformity and the Acts of Supremacy. Interestingly enough, the new Act of Supremacy that Elizabeth I had passed through parliament changed the title of "head" of the Church of England to Governor, which differed from Henry VIII original act. There was definitely some gender bias in making that conscious decision to change the title.
  6. I really appreciate this piece of information! Tonight I will be spending time with two of my oldest friends from my hometown. We’re going out to eat! Have a great weekend. 😄
  7. “What do you mean Phentrom’s been taken?!” Lyoth asked Neptithia in dismay. “I just disconnected from Fonith, and she told me what happened. A bounty hunter attacked Phentrom and Suoki in the streets of Boullia Bay. Suoki was shot, and the bounty hunter took Phentrom.” “We need to meet up with Fonith,” Lyoth declared to Stawren. “We need to rescue Phentrom!” Neptithia continued with the details. “Fonith told me she knew the other hunter, and she’s going after him. She said she
  8. Easter began as a Pagan celebration of spring, the Christians took it over and made it a religious Holiday. So i think you can celebrate it as you please. If it's to enjoy the Chocolate and time to spend with family, then enjoy all of that! Have a great weekend everyone!

    Chapter 13

    OMG, life changing decisions in front of Andre and Chris. Who would say a few months ago it was question whether they were ready to live together. And now, new house, new business...and adopting of teenage boy! Beautiful chapter and amazing development of the story.
  10. Nope. Never have I attempted to deep throat a cucumber
  11. Thanks. I figured I’d continue to avoid the surprise endings.

  13. Alec was very uncomfortable when Kenji arrived. He may be awkward, anxious and mostly socially inept, but he has often been a good judge of character. If Kenji made him uncomfortable there must be a reason. Time shall tell, but if Kenji does anything to harm River may a reign of terror descend on him like he has never known. River has an uncanny ability to know what Alec is thinking and challenges him constantly to come out of his comfort zone, even if momentarily. He has been such a loyal friend to Alec and has probably done more good for his mental health than his therapist and cocktail of drugs combined.

  15. Unable to take his mind off Brohm, the night passed slowly. Nathan finally managed to sleep in the early morning hours, yet upon waking, found himself alone. He heard Brohm and Morgana speaking quietly outside. Stretching his weary body, he rose and stepped out to find them sitting on a bench against the cottage. “Good morning,” Morgana said. “Did you sleep well?” “I’ve slept better,” Nathan said, offering Brohm a knowing look. The big man tried to hide a smirk. “Oh, I’m

    “So, the family papers?” “Presumed taken by the solicitors.” “Who’ve already told Sandra there is no germane paperwork connected to your grandad and grandma or the firm.” It may be time for Owain and Mhairi to retain Sawzall, Sawzall & Associates, forensic accountants, to conduct further investigations to determine if anything underhanded has taken place. Owain gave a smirk, “How about that we’ve not settled the wedding yet, but wondered whether we might have in Leighton, so it was nice and convenient for her.” Colin stared at Owain, “You don’t mean it?” Owain shrugged, “As long as it’s somewhere nice. So, we can look around”, then he gave an evil grin, “but might be fun to put the wind up her!” I had the same thought as Owain when I read Colin's mother's pathetic excuse for not attending their wedding. When I read Owain's suggestion I had a great chuckle. He has a mischievous streak, a streak which is appealing to Colin more and more as they become more comfortable in their relationship with each other. Moralistic Miles best pull his head out of his arse otherwise he will find himself returning to live with Mummy. Just imagine the shame, having to return to live with conniving Connie. Colin is far too nice for his own good, but if this eventuates I would love for Colin to rub Miles face in it big time. Joe has found himself increasingly involved in his uncle's life, largely due to his employ with Colin, which he appears to be excelling at and enjoying. What a positive turn of events for all involved. The injection of some money by Mhairi, Owain and Colin into the production of Joe's play at the library may well prove to be a good investment too for all involved. Another joyous, mostly light-hearted, and at times frothy chapter @Robert Hugill. I expect more positive comments for this chapter in the next few days.

    Chapter 8

    While it’s not my thing, I recognize there are many different types of D/s relationships. I think consenting adults should be able to do as they please. My issues are with non-consent and humiliation. I don’t see either of those as a possibility with River and Kenji. River is still finding himself. He left his smother as soon as he graduated, then went a little wild (as is common with kids of restrictive parents). Now he is reaching that settling down phase, which is different for everyone.

    Tension.... ahhh... sure...
  19. Alec should not make any decisions to change anything until his mother is dead. I believe a tremendous weight will be lifted from his shoulders when this occurs. I also believe he WILL be able to have some sort of relationship with his father when she expires. Although they might not rejoice when she is dead (I would), they will breathe a huge sigh of relief. I suspect Alec will return to Sunnyside, maybe not immediately, but eventually once Mae has succumbed to death. Hopefully he (and we) won't have to wait too much longer for that to occur.

    Colin skimmed through the photos from the Italian trip, mainly ones he’d taken of scenery or of Owain on his own. There a few of the both of them, grinning inanely at the camera, but he’d never quite got the hang of taking a selfie of the two of them and photo taking had usually descended into silliness. However, there were also a couple of photos taken by other people; finally, he found the one he’d been thinking of. It had been taken by that nice German couple, what was their name, Anni and Ho
