J and V are fighting a good fight even if on a spiritual level. And now the moon has appeared this can only reinforce their powers. Theo is also finding the right way.
Mark's childhood and youth is only now revealed. A chapter of lovelesness sadness and despair hidden behind a mask of apparent normality. Except for the eyes. A man who needs to be loved and appreciated. A man who despite the coldness and lack of love from his father is prepared to prostitute himself to ensure the wellbeing of that uncaring man. Is that an act of love? How often has Mark allowed himself to be used by Victor? And does Mark feel that this is love? Has he developed Stockholm syndrome? Does Mark feel that he is protecting Julian from Victor? I feel that this is a most disturbing chapter you have written. It is not the poetry of the early chapters but a bleaker prose that the subject demanded. You have given me a sleepless night!
Sadly this has been an expectation through the earlier chapters. Victor owns. Victor commands. His wife his son his employees. And despite his feelings , his love for Julian, Mark has had a hidden compulsive atttraction to the older powerful man. And does the heartache and heartbreak begin now?
Thank you for this wonderful journey. And for the way your writing makes us believe in love in an increasingly unhappy world. You leave us with the sure belief that Aiden will find his Cianan and their love for each other can only grow stronger and stronger. And rival that quiet love which Rowan and Declan have for each other . They will continue to provide loving support when Aiden returns to his spiritual home in Ireland. Please do not consider a sequel. Let us use our own imagination. Thank you again for an enchanting story.
Grief affects all of us. Aiden is dealing with the absence of Cianan in a more mature way than he dealt with the loss of his father. Then he lashed out as a boy; now he is reflective and purposive as a man. Beautiful chapter.
Two thirds of the way through this tale of " the little ancient one " and a modern young man. Wonderful linking of Irish prehistory and folklore to the present day via the cairns. I hope you can resolve the feuds, ancient and modern, real or imaginary. Beautiful story engagingly written. Do I want it to end?
Another poem tugging on the heartstrings. Ending in seven simple beautiful words meaning so much more than just "I love you", requesting so much of and from Elias.
A rollercoaster rlde for the reader to ... ... a kiss ! A kiss that for the first time is breaking down barriers two strangers have built in different ways and for different reasons to shield them from hurt. But what a breathtaking painful glorious first kiss.
What a melodramatic start to a story that already has several strands developing - Elias and Camille, Elias and Diane, Elias and Rowan ....and others? This has multiple possibilities for desire, lust, love, jealousy .... and hurt. But also healing and friendship and new beginnings . I eagerly anticipate following the author's development of these characters.
Enjoyable. Loved the guys. Will we get further stories developing their relationship away from the gym ? I would love to see the love between them grow.
Great storyline. And with a come on ending leaving us begging for more. Chris is obviously open to involvement. So how many more of the Leipzig team might explore more than handball .......
Over the last few weeks I have enjoyed reading all your amazing tales and have been left with a desire to read more. Many perhaps worked into longer developed stories. Please continue to provide us readers with your magic storytelling.
