    Chapter 17 S3

    I thought that was heading in the direction of the roofers going to lunch and taking the cards with them, never to be seen again. The true story was worse!

    Well, it's official. Draven is a wank stain, and I would tell him to his face.

    Chapter 7

    But for this moment, Eddie and Charles stood on the cusp of uncharted territory—years of professional trust now infused with a raw, unspoken longing. And Harry, caught between the two of them, would soon step into the steam of his own truth, where all their secret lines of attraction might finally converge. This sounds VERY exciting,

    Chapter 6

    Oh, that is something to think about. I was trying for a mother comforting a son who feels very deeply and wears his heart on his sleeve with what she sees as a case of hero worship. Now I can see how it could be read as her perception and acceptance of his sexuality. I studied Melville under a great scholar of his writing, and she steadfastly denied any queer subtext in Billy Budd, in spite of passages such as Claggart's "violet eyes suffused with desire" or him tapping Billy on he seat of his trousers with a rattan swagger stick. Couldn't be more obvious to me, but she was oblivious. Shooting for the same naive trust, I missed the mark on this one. Thanks for the input!
  8. This Quiet Hunger ### Officers' Wardroom— Evening It was two days after the drill when the wardroom turned sour. Lt. Vane, who had been foul-tempered since the drills, arrived at the door to the wardroom at the same time as Midshipman Blake and Lt. Morris. Morris blocked Blake from entering the room with a elaborate gesture to Vane. “Rank before roses,” he intoned solemnly. Several officers chuckled, but Vane only snarled, “I am the ranking officer!” glaring at Blake as though he
  9. I'm keeping my eyes on that Wolf rascal!

    Very suspenseful chapter with great pacing. Our JJ is as chill under pressure as a penguin's tail feathers.

    A perceptive comment as sad as it is to admit.

    Chapter 5

    Pitt is a strong and capable officer, able to weather storms both literal and metaphorical, but can he withstand the onslaught of a midshipman awash in hormones?

    Chapter 6

    I agree. Inquiring minds want an explanation, maybe as a Powerpoint presentation?

    Dad seems to have plenty of good advice. I can't wait to see the decision!

    Chapter 6

    "Imhotep, the architect that designed the ‘Step’ pyramid" Oh, no, step-pyramid, what are you doing? Yes, the interwebs has ruined me. I'll see myself out.
  20. The Spark and the Storm ### Battle Drill – The Gun Deck — 08:00 The call came without warning. A sharp rattle of drumsticks cracked across the morning air, **beat to quarters**, shrill and commanding. Above decks, shouts rang out like musket fire. Barefooted sailors sprang from their tasks, their conversations, even their hammocks, scrambling to their stations like blood to a wound. It was only a drill, yes, but the Navy trained for war by conjuring it whole cloth, and every
  21. Welp! That took a turn. Billy's a cunning troublemaker, but I'm SURE nothing bad will come of this. SMH

    Chapter 2

    Justus is so chill, but Marcus is wound a little tight. I worry that without yoga or bong rips or a wank or something, he'll have a heart attack by Chapter Five.

    Chapter 6

    Two very different evenings. What's a boy to do?
  24. Great story about the passage of time and how memory and perception diverge.
  25. I dig Elliot! What an interesting, complex character, confident, perceptive, direct yet subtle and nuanced, More!
