I've found such sweet delight in your last two chapters. But they brought to my mind lines from a lullaby. " So rest thee my darling and sleep whilst you may, For strife comes with manhood as waking with day".

A great storyline development. Love that Zuma is Luc's abandoned match, but one yet to be fulfilled? The link between the two is potent, and Luc must have realised, when returning to Helderlus to find Nos' own stolen match , that there must be some kind of reparation to be made to Zuma. The reunion of Cal and Nos will be joyous. I'm sure Orion's punishment will be a fitting one. Perhaps Nos forgiving him might be shameful enough! Or spending eternity in shackles!

Parents Weekend, Book Five of Five
sandeman commented on Boy Mercury X's story chapter in Parents Weekend, Book Five of Five
" He had made new friends, left everyone happier than when he found them, and he was with his people ..." Your fitting epigraph to the tale of Matt's fun filled action packed weekend enjoyed by all! Especially your readers. THANK YOU. -
Chapter 14 For The Love Of Him
sandeman commented on Grayson Rose's story chapter in Chapter 14 For The Love Of Him
So now I know there were no other survivors. So no likely search for Connor and Jamie even if their bodies have not been found. Which just leaves an explanation for D & D's presence on the island. Could this be an Adam and Eve and Adam and Steve sit com? And the orca which befriended Jamie? Let's not forget her/him please. -

What is left to say. Just another day at the office! -
Chapter 14 For The Love Of Him
sandeman commented on Grayson Rose's story chapter in Chapter 14 For The Love Of Him
Just who is Darrin? Why does he keep asking Jamie did you pregame? Why would he assume a bewildered Jamie was all fucked up? He really should be asking me if I'm bewildered. Cos I am! -
What was it Vince said? Oh yes. "Keep your commands for the bedroom". Well. Back in human form Theo calls Vince over. Jack doesn't want to be left out of the scolding. At least that's what Theo says it is going to be. First time I've heard it called that!

Chapter 8 With A Little Music
sandeman commented on Grayson Rose's story chapter in Chapter 8 With A Little Music
Lovely episode in the music store but the climactic cosmic collision was explosive! -
An episode of quietitude before the storm. Ingemar sharing a special place within a sacred grove. Marcus feeling the warmth of Ingemar without the need to touch. Just beautiful.

Chapter 21 ~ Welcome Home! ~
sandeman commented on Vcs's story chapter in Chapter 21 ~ Welcome Home! ~
Jo is a sweetheart with a heart full of innocence and love. The antithesis of the "chris'ian" caller spouting his litany of hatred and abuse. It delights me that Mannly and Kidd are able to comfort each other, two young men who have been abused. And that their respective partners and indeed all on the ranch find this a natural development within its spirit of care. So much love shared on the ranch; so much meanness of spirit in the chris'an community. I know where I would rather be. -
An absorbing episode. The real dialogue is in the physicality of the walking. Actual speech is restricted to practicalities with the exception of Julien's unexpected confidence to Oliver of the significance to him of the creek. The two men are falling into an easy relationship that at the moment needs no words to spell it out.
-
Intriguing and definitely unexpected. Or was it ? Do what Miller tells you! Has Hank been here before? What a development!

" Everything that happens has happened before; nothing is new, nothing under the sun". Ecclesiastes 1:9. "As a dog returns to its vomit, so a fool repeats its folly". Proverbs 26:11. One would think over the years the human race would learn. But from bigotism and discrimination in small communities to self aggrandisement of petty dictators who think they have the right to rule the world, humanity seems unable to move on. I think the Proverb verse specifically applies to Shayna. I am an atheist but " the devil can quote scripture for his own purposes". And I believe candy floss is vile.

A delightfully quiet end to an amazing romp with some fantastic characters. I shall miss them all. But the laughter remains. THANK YOU.

Fanfare and Triumphal March "Come, O conquering hero, come rejoice with us". What a party the morrow must bring. What a great Parade must there be with glitter guns and bedazzled shields, SpongeBob bandage streamers and garlands. But shall I be there weeping tears of sorrow, bereft of future joys and happiness? My daily course of laughter gone? O woe is me. Clothe me in sackcloth and ashes.

Chapter 7 Cowboy & The Date
sandeman commented on Grayson Rose's story chapter in Chapter 7 Cowboy & The Date
Compare and contrast the two brothers. One brash, in your face, of the moment. The other restrained and careing and gentle. Marcus is attracted to both men. But can he find in just one of them exactly what he is looking for. Can Cameron give him a settled relationship, or Ryan excitement? -
I love that whilst Simon was establishing his position in the Juvenile Correctional Facility on his first day, the sheer delight that is Matt - " I'll fight them. I don't know how to fight but I'll figure it out" - was as promised baking him a cake with a file, albeit a nail file, in it. Perhaps the next cake will have a nail buffer in it and if Matt continues on his culinary career by his release date Simon could well have a full manicure set.

I love the ranch and its acceptance of divergence from a so called "norm". I love Jo and his willingness to ask and learn and accept. Shayna's appalling treatment of Jo Bass and Kidd is maybe exaggerated for the storyline BUT this attitude is still out here sometimes carefully hidden and insidious. I am reading this as a story of trust and hope and enlightenment.

Chapter 13 Not So Lucid
sandeman commented on Grayson Rose's story chapter in Chapter 13 Not So Lucid
Is Jamie in a hospital bed suffering a serious head injury with confusion and delusions? Is he in a waking dream? I can but await the next chapter. -
Rudyard Kipling " I keep six honest serving men (They taught me all I knew); Their names are What and Why and When and How and Where and Who. WHAT? WHAT!WHAT?WHAT!WHAT? etc. Lucas/Loki !!!!! A totally mind-blowing chapter, but then they all are! Most heart-wrenching tear-shedding moment. Andy's possible last thoughts. That they were of Lucas. "Survive. Andy prayed....You beautiful chaotic idiot." Call me a romantic or what.
-
A chapter of surprises. Jesse's backstory. Hank's gentle handling of and protectiveness of Jesse. Jesse's failure to grasp that he is more than a "piece of equipment that had been serviced". And the sheriff?

Chapter 6 Shooting the Shot
sandeman commented on Grayson Rose's story chapter in Chapter 6 Shooting the Shot
Interesting take by Marcus on Cameron. Obvious attraction for hot sex but he realises that that is all Cameron has to offer. Cameron is "unfinished". Marcus is seeking someone with whom he can establish the kind of full relationship he had for the short period with Sean. -
Another informative chapter. Roman culture maintained on the Empire's frontier. Citizenship confers status. Arminius has acquired citizenship status but Ingomar has not. Dominus Petronus is calculating, and Marcus feels disturbed by the attention he is showing towards him and Ingomar.
-
I seem to have been walking around in a daze for days! What a drastic change! From the energetlc frenetic generally friendly jamboree to an ambush that takes Andy out of play and traps and renders Lucas impotent ( powerless to help, not the other kind one hopes. Nah definitely not the other!) Esca might feel triumphant now but he really should fear the forces he has aroused against him. Let's hear it loud and clear for the Allied Front and start blanket drives and knitting circles and rug pegging and I think Im taking too far and need to lie down.

I can't breathe. My hearts pounding. My minds in a whirl. I've come over all faint. I can't face breakfast. I need tea tea and more tea. Will 17 cups be enough. I never never expected an episode of such intensity of feeling. What are you doing to my heart? Why are you doing this. Why? why? why? OK. Existential(?) crisis over, no need to call for an ambulance. Yet. Don't know if I dare read next chapter. Yet.... I think I'll go back to bed.
