Ryder sounds like an empathetic guy, who is offering Owen something he cannot get from his family ,understa ding and acceptance of what he is. A young man trying to find himself, and he is curious. He is about to throw caution to the wind. But curiosity killed the cat as the saying goes.

Thank you CasualWanderer. -
“The Devil’s at the Door”
sandeman commented on CasualWanderer82's story chapter in “The Devil’s at the Door”
I keep coming back in wonderment to read your preface to this chapter, seeking to understand more these two protagonists. Such deep hurt makes me weep. I made a plea not to forget forgiveness. But who is the one to ask for forgiveness? The creator or his creation? Who of the two bears the most responsibilty for what has taken place? I am no poet so need to quote others. From a poem by Sophie Slosarczyk. " .... I forgive myself for holding on so much It's not actually you at all For I forgave you the second it happened It's me who I need to forgive Me who holds on too tight Hoping forever that you'll change Knowing deep down, you really won't." . -

“The Devil’s at the Door”
sandeman commented on CasualWanderer82's story chapter in “The Devil’s at the Door”
You have surprised me yet again!. I had thought the conclusion close. But then again the master of lies , the trickster, fights another round!! (As indeed you do). I enjoyed the beautiful preface to this chapter, the dialogue between the Creator and the Morningstar, also called Lucifer the 'Light Bringer', the Firstborn. " I was loved .......You were." Please let there still be forgiveness. -
Now comes the final battle. Light must triumph over darkness, goodness over evil, love over hatred ; or else there is no real meaning to life. Or sacrifice, even unto death.

Owen has led a sheltered life, still undeveloped but seeking. Ryder is obviously more mature but appears to be more troubled. Can it be that each can give the other what they need in life and love ?

An Inquiry into Appetite
sandeman commented on Invnarcel's story chapter in An Inquiry into Appetite
And how will Timothy fare in Camulod? A larger community than he is used to. Surely more predatory forks who will find him more than attractive? Can Oliver keep him close? Does he want to? -
The mores of the time demanded a strict observance of what was the received and accepted ' proper' ways of engagement. It would not always be acceptable for one young man essentially living alone to receive very frequent visits from another younger man. Especially in small town society where everone of import knew one another. Interesting development.

Frank is a man of his word ; as well as deeds. A delightful interlude. What next?

The saddest thing in this chapter was the last sentence. But we have all "put on faces" to cope with life. It's moving on and how we do it that matters; not the faces we've used and discarded along the way. Owen will find his own way to acceptance and love. A great story in the making.

Devin's light is the brightness of a divinity, enfolding, encompassing, embracing. The beautiful flashback illuminates the purity of the love Luka had/has for Devin in all his innocence. Now Devin's light is rekindling and reinforcing that pure love fighting to free itself from the control of the darkness that is the soul of Theron.

The Future Alpha of Whiteflame
sandeman commented on Laura S. Fox's story chapter in The Future Alpha of Whiteflame
Is splitting our heroes an attempt by their enemy to divide and conquer? Have Vince and Jack (bless him) really acquired helpmeets? Has Theo finally conquered his fears? Tune in next time for a further thrilling episode .... of a great adventure! -
Owen dips his toes into the app. Cole might be the one now or later. But as the saying goes 'One swallow does not make a Summer'.

Gentle kisses and declarations of love. Oliver's revelations show him having experienced more than exchanging kisses! Timothy anxious about Oliver leaving but trusting he will find a way of keeping them together still maintaining the propriety necessary to protect their families' reputations. Great story.
-
Erotic and funny. Is not this the way condoms have always been tested?
-
Well !well! Loving how the narrative is developing ; how Frank's gentler(?) side is being brought out; and the team growth and acceptance of the two men's relationship. Should we now expect some startling revelations about Marc?
-
Owen is totally inexperienced. At 18? His awakening to and the development of his sexuality is likely to be harsh! Or will he be one of the few who find first time love? Watching this space.

Love the slow development of the story; of the warmness of Shirl; and the selfless caring way Jake talks of things to comfort and make Little Man aware of the love surrounding him whilst sleep helps recovery.
-
It really must be love! A cake wilingly offering himself to a fork! But why Oliver's apprehension at the barn's doorway ? Is Oliver hiding something about the barn and the smell of death therein?
-
One happy Father's Day. One happy father enjoying an unexpected gift from his son. Great fun.
-
Loving the way the story is slowly developing with the frisson of danger in the relationship of Timothy and Oliver. Both wanting but wary.

Typical Bavarian Breakfast
sandeman commented on Soren Kraft's story chapter in Typical Bavarian Breakfast
Frank is still the dominant boss!! Interesting development in their sexual relationship though. What else does Frank have in the closet? -
Timothy now attracts forks, most probably will want to consume him. Interesting that Clarentine smells lemon meringue from Timothy. Has Oliver already marked T as his? Will he reconnect with him? More importantly will he or can he offer him protection? And love?
-
Frank's gentler approach to life and love seems genuine; but can a leopard change its spots overnight? Is Marc right to feel apprehensive?
