LOL. Well then I managed to surprise you again, yay! I think that hesitation when we are trying to find out if someone of the same gender is interested is often a nervous anxious time. I didn't want to draw it out too much here though. Marc and Nat's story continues in Paper Trail which I will finish!!

Of course. The bond of the older sibling is very strong. I wanted a close family relationship in this story and when I 'saw' Marc that was just a trait of his that was really obvious in my head. Thanks so much for the great review.

I'm glad the plot didn't fizzle here. The bubble yum scene Well I think that all of us at one point or another have done or liked something 'juvenile' and been embarrassed about it. It just fit with the story. I'll check the edit on this one. Thanks!

Thanks for the review. Nat isn't fully realized in this story as I went on to shift to his pov in Paper Trail but I do definitely like him. Preston... yeah, someone had to be the original villian

Well how you label yourself is what's important. If you don't... great for you. Why care about what others think? I know that's a rosy view but for the most part I could care less what others think of me. They don't like it they can keep it to themselves or become intimately familiar with my middle finger. I'm bisexual but married to a man and have 2 kids. I liked to be with guys and girls before I met my husband and I never worried about the future spouse back then. It happened to be a guy and yeah, I don't tell my bi-selfness to some people, like my redneck biased dad, but if it were a part of my life other than doubling my opportunities to eyeball cute people I would. Right now it's no one's business but mine and it's not like anyone really asks. I mean... how likely is it for someone to look at a mom of 2 with a hubby and go.. hey, do you like to look at a girl's ass too? LOL

Yeah, things are not going to get better from here, lol. I'm glad the accent is easing up from familiarity. Next chapter in a few days! Thanks so much for leaving me another review

Awww, thanks! I'm intensely stubborn and hate asking for help or accepting it most of the time. Independent soul and all that. Sean was that part of me in this story, that and I have fallen out a tree with my camera before. It wasn't my really expensive one but I guarantee you that thing was my first thought, second was not to hit the sharp stick on the ground. Thanks for the review and the compliment on the picture.

Happy Birthday!!!

I think being in a committed relationship for so long (13 years) makes me more of a we than a me a lot of the time. I've never been cheated on, thankfully, but the emotions and thoughts I put in the story are ones I've thought about. I am really glad you enjoyed the story, thanks for leaving me a review!!

Almost missed it! Happy Birthday again dear!!

Rabbie reached Tigh na Cailleach early on the day before Samhainn. He shook his head at the small structure with thirteen gray stones, shaped and resting on a long flat stone in front of the sheiling. They were pieces of rock, nothing more, and it galled Rabbie to be required to participate in this pagan nonsense. But his father laid down orders and Rabbie would follow them. At least he would be able to avoid the feast and dancing at the castle. If he traveled slowly on his way back he might

Awwww... Bandage is getting older! Soon to be old, yep, it's going to happen! dear, I hope you have the best day ever! Happy Birthday!

OMG, my stomach is so upset right now with all of the emotions I had reading this. Fear, anxiety, happiness, sadness, I felt it all. This story is GREAT! Not one of those overcoming adversity, happily ever after types but your story really puts the reader right there with the characters. The post apocalytpic genre is one that I occasionally get into and while I will admit to be mainly a sucker for a happy ending I don't deny that some of the best work can and does end in tragedy. The only quibble I have is that it appears the copy has 2 typos in it, some snippets of code or something, otherwise it has great flow with superbly written characters and plot. Thanks for posting this again, it was a very good read!

No, I get it. Sometimes the sap overcomes us. It's not always obvious day after day, year after year, as we get comfortable in our lives and our partners. It's good to feel that rush of love overcome you every so often. Reminds us that what we have is just as special as those beginning moments in a relationship. Good for you, Mr. Sap Master!!

And so it begins! I like the dance you have beginning between Malfoy and Harry. And the twins... what intrigue! I always thought there were much more 'active' than they were written in the original books. Great chapter.

Not at this time. If we are not able to locate the original author most likely those unclaimed stories will be deleted in case they were plagiarized as well. We will not republish any story that we can not verify is not being posted by the original author. It wouldn't be right.

Hi Guldar, welcome to GA. Anyone can become an 'author' if they chose to purchase (for free) that status in the GA Store. Any member can post a story in GA Stories. Promising and Hosted Authors have forums, all other authors can post topics for their stories in the Story Discussion forum. Blogs, Picture Galleries, making posts/comments/topics in the forums is all up to an member as well. You can be as interactive with the site as you choose to be. Some people never customize their profiles and simply post stories and leave it at that. Others jump more into it and create topics, discussion forums and all sorts of input to just be a part of the community and/or promote their stories. Marzipan's suggestion of reading the help topics is a great one and if you have any questions that you can't answer after you've read that feel free to send me a pm or track me down in chat. I don't mind answering any honest question from new users. At one point we were all in your shoes. Welcome again!

Sorry, but I'm the blunt type. I'd flat out ask him out. I have never been one to play around and even back before I met my husband if I wanted a guy I found a way to tell him, either by invading his physical space or just by saying so. I don't know if that works for adults, lol, I've never been on the 'dating' scene but idk, why not take the risk? If there is something you really want, in this case a relationship with your tennis flirty friend, then you should go for it. Life is rarely exciting for the meek and hesitant.

Aww, well thanks for coming back and giving me feedback after the fact, I love it! This story came to me in a rush. I wanted to share a few things I loved and a possible new beginning for two characters who meet randomly in life. The story was brief, just about their dance around each other for the most part but that sort of feel good romance was all I was feeling at the time. Every once in a while I have to ease up on the angst Thanks again for the review!

Shut up Matt, the Packers rock! Great pic Rakuten!

I talk to a lot of members who were around 'back in the day'. Not that I was of course, but hey... I know they're still here. I'm glad to see anyone come back to the site so even if I didn't know you before, welcome back!! PS, you might consider editing your age since you's admitted you're no longer a tender 18 year old.

I actually wrote this before we saw that log entry in the Price of Honor and submitted it in the anthology last spring. It was a bit of a prequel and a sneak peek for my readers all in one. It went over decently when it was originally released but I did essentially give the same info again in Price of Honor so they would both stand alone. As for other... I'm not sure that I could! I'm really glad you continue to enjoy my stories, I hope I don't disappoint if you read the rest! Cia

You rave like how I feel. I read a lot, (when GA isn't keeping me swamped) and that is how I feel on the rare occasion I find a true gem. I had one last night that took from from exhausted at only 7 pm at night to still wide awake at 12:30 am as i read non-stop from beginning to end. Truly great stories are diamonds and sometimes you have to sift to find them but it's so worth it!

I'm glad you like it! I'm definitely trying to stay true to how I envision the story and how readable the story is for the average reader. Honestly, I love everyone who takes the time to check out my stories but if they aren't for them, well, not much I can do. This one is very much something I am writing for me because I love the story as I see it in my head. I hope those who can make it past the accent, or like it, will go along on the journey with me. OH, and the woman? She's pivotal as you'll see in the coming chapter!

Yay! I'm glad it's not 'mundane' lol! I wanted to set the historical period fo the most part in Ch. 1 but throw in a bit of the fantastic to point to where the story was heading. That was more prominent in this chapter. I hope to marry the two aspects, mortal and immortal, in the chapters to come! I hope you continue to enjoy it.
