There's a lot on this list that I've read, but there's also a lot that I haven't read so my reading list is expanding and I need to find time to write too.

Ok, I went in and edited the chapter so that part should explain things better - at least I hope it does. Check it out if you get time and let me know what you think. Thank you.

Yeah, JJ is the only son that Brad can actually cower into doing what he wants him to do. I think that's why JJ is so scared about this visit, because he's worried Brad won't like Kris and will want him to dump him. Because deep down, JJ probably would do it if push came to shove. At least at this point.

One of the things I've attempted to do with this story is to draw from my own life and what I know of a few others. As a people, our being gay really is but a small part of who we are. We are everywhere and we make up all walks of life.

The only true wisdom is in knowing you know nothing. -Socrates "Honey, I need you to keep still. You're bleeding all over the place." The bartender’s voice—Darcy’s voice, my booze addled mind absently amended—sounded tinny, like she was shouting at me from across the width of the Grand Canyon, even though she was right next to me, wedged in between my highbacked stool and the bar top. I could feel the warmth of her slim hands contrasting with the smooth cool metal of the ri

That's the point, Pete is braking stereotypes and cliches. There is something Spartan in him. He bruised his characters having difficult childhood. As a quote says - What doesn't kill you, makes you stronger! The reaction from teammates has been surprisingly positive. It is sad Arlie has to quit team just not to be beaten by homophobic father. Not because being gay but being on the same team with gay...ridiculous, specially knowing that there is at least one more closeted gay in team...and how many more closeted professional sportsmen around the world! Another kind of homophobia, living like ostrich with had in sand - if we don't speak about homosexuality, then it doesn't exist!?! Relationship with Mitch might be completely new, romantic experience for Pete. Till now, it was all about surviving, maybe even surprising sexual tension and hormones. He can be a teenage boy now, not only 'soldier'!

And how neglectful was I not to my mention, the most profound, the most moving, the most joyous paragraph you have perhaps ever written @James Carnarvon: “And you’re Marco Fardello,” he replied. “You help people without expecting anything in return, but when something’s not right, you burn. Around your friends, you’ve always felt like the odd one out… you’ve never thought anyone could really like you. But…” He leaned closer to whisper into Marco’s ear. “you’re way hotter than you think you are.” 😭😭😭😭😭😭💖💖💖💖💖💖

I wish I knew where Kyle was going after this. It is the last chapter we had from him. I know he is working on another Kandric chapter at the moment, so there is that... So quit yer groanin'

Actually, Devin hasn't actually passed the maximum end of the range for a growth spurt, which is usually considered to be 18-20, but it doesn't preclude it happening later. I went to school with a boy who was always the smallest boy in the class, and even a graduation he was shorter than most of the girls as well. I ran into him two or three years later and didn't recognize him, because he was 6' 2" (188 cm). And remember that Devin's size doesn't completely rely on what we would face, because as a skinwalker he can make himself taller or shorter at a whim. Yes, it's never good to be bullied, but his family used it teach him to fight back, a skill they felt he'd need if he transit ioned into an animal in the wild.

A return trip to Ravello is a welcome delight at any time of the year, but for this reader at least a return trip in the height of summer is when Ravello presents its more glorious self. From the avenue of oleanders to the scraping of my beloved cicadas, the lemons, the olives and the grape vines, the sparkling water off the Amalfi coast and the scorching midday sun, sheer perfection, and @James Carnarvon describes all with such reverence I can visualise myself there, enjoying these Ravelloesque delights. This story is somewhat darker than James' usual fare, but let it be said, his writing style is NOT reminiscent of a soap opera. Many of the reader favourites return, with the addition of three new characters who are integral to this latest work, all three of whom have had anything but happy childhoods. The highlight of this latest work for me was the growth, the extraordinary growth of Marco, my favourite "Carnarvon creation". Like Ravello itself, it was the "little mouse's" turn to shine, and shine he does. And finally on a very personal note, I have found James' stories of great comfort over the course of the last three years, through some very sad times. The joy his stories bring delight many, and it is the delight of these stories and the sharing of comments by his faithful readers, which have brought joy to me on many an occasion when sadness threatened to overwhelm.

This truly is starting to become convoluted, excellent; because it makes for more fun reading. Thank you for sharing your story and very well done with this latest chapter.

Heads up. Order more tissues and maybe even get a prescription for Xanax for the next chapter. Yeah you didn't have to write that I figured this chapter was too calm. Well it might be cool if Karl and Carlo kids becomes friends. Speaking of friends children this is slightly off topic and I bet you already know this the sons of John Lennon and Paul McCartney.James McCartney and Sean Lennon wrote a song together called Primrose Wall and it's pretty good

Didn’t know that Dev could still grow : I thought he passed the growing age 😄 But I understand him : I was myself bullied because I had better grade by other bigger children. Sweet chapter 👍

Adding more stories to my reading list all the time. Thanks, @Myr.

Nope. Never have I ever enjoyed a root canal.

I'll send you some Nikes so you can catch up to Steve.

I don't know... You might be a bit surprised when you find out the reason Carl was let go. Soon we hope. Or not... Yes, at some point the years-long emotional stress had to come out. Of course, like most stress, this won't be the only time. Pete's story is far from over. I just hope you like the rest of the story.
