The story feels like it's coming to a resolution. The characters are more about each other than themselves. Great story, thanks.

This concept that "blood" relations have priority is quite weird when you think about it. Given the grandparents didn't even know their daughter was pregnant and consequently through possibly no fault of their own they have had no contact of any sort with the child. And yet they get priority over the people who have looked after him since his mother died. Just seems weird and some how medieval.

Juggler; fate worse that death! Looks like he's find ways to overcome his Aspergers. Not completely, just chipping away at the edges...

The description of the house was great "Perhaps they're colorblind"! And I do think he was being a little unfair in his potted description of Steph!

Having /suffering from Aspergers and then having every test thrown at you.... well written characters. Thanks

Interesting lead character. He knows he's different, but doesn't know how to change or how to read people. Complex. Thanks.

Some great lines here. I like your characters, too!

Hes playing wiyh Bobby like a cat with a mouse. His interactions with Rick raise questions too....

Steph is a riot of a character! Amazing creation. Looking forward to seeing where this goes!

Hadn't seen this story until now. Loòks interesting!

Very complicated relationship, but while Aiden grows into it, and the problems grow worse, their ability and options to solve those problems also grows. Well written and v interesting! Thanks

I concede: your toys, your bed; my toys, my bed. Your toys, my bed needs invitation and careful negotiation. Reasonable request.

Just to play a bit of devil's advocacy ( some one has to among all the angels on this site) 1, apart from FFS, why? ( I don't mean defending JJ -aka the indefensible, I mean the "need for maturity") 2. Perhaps it's not trying to be 25, perhaps it's trying to live 50 (plus, ish) to the max? 3. Agree...JJ is maintenance personified.

Hmmmm, I am going to get into trouble here with a counter view: If Steph and Grand have agreed that Steph can play with who he chooses and Steph decided to have a party in a family house, JJ has two courses of action, put up with it, or move into the biggest and best hotel and sulk until he feels better. The solution of running an alarm (probably illegal) calling out the police and fire departments ( probably v sexy, but not their true line of duty) and disabling the off switch, is that act of someone who needs to grow up. Anyway. That's MPOV.... Great writing, as ever. Thanks!

Great, well written characters moving along a well constructed path to a beautiful conclusion. A great read. Thanks

That would be the "right" answer, but how these story tellers like stringing us along with all sorts of drama, I can almost guarantee it will not be smooth sailing!

"One homophobic judge"... what a telling line. Where the rule of law fails because of a person in powers irrational beliefs. And this one very small, very personal blip can destroy a person's life and future happiness. No wonder you have made your characters rract with anger and frustration. They are no longer fighting a battle that is fought with facts, but one that is emotional and based on brainwashed "gut" feelings. That his mother left when she got pregnant cutting herself off from her parents says so much about how she felt about her parents. ie that they were not suitable, so to prove that they be suitable now would require demonstrated change of heart. The interaction so far would seem that they are the same fundamentalist bigots they were 14 years ago. Thanks for writing so well! Hope you manage to create judge that doesn't believe in some mystical blood tie!

At last your characters seem to have arrived at the same place! Their conversations are quite beautiful. Thanks

I sincerely hope you never kill off Stef and Grand; the next generation would all fall apart! Thanks for re-igniting the story!

Welcome back! I say this as much to creator as creation! Interesting development. Daventry's surprise at the count's arrival says much. There just my be more to this....? Thanks, again. Glad you are feeling up to giving your admirers all they desire (well, some of what they desire!)

"Long distance relationship" same end same side of the same continent... that verges on commutable! My partner and I commuted for three years between Southern Australia and eastern Canada...that was a long distance relationship! Still together after 20 years, so somehow we survived! Perhaps it's the effect NY has on our lovers! Enjoyable story, great characters, well written sex scenes. Thanks

Thanks...

Oops! Sorry for missing that kinda-vital detail... Look forward to the next installment....

Ahhhhh, in a word, no! Following that line of argument, the President of the US could abolish the Presidency.... The occupier of a role can remove themselves for that role, but even in fiction, to abolish the role itself would be nonsensical. In this story, Leon could work with the High Council ( correct name?) for constitutional change, but nothing that has been written indicates that the ruler has those sorts of power to do it unilaterally.

Just read all chapters posted to date. It seems strange that there is an assumption that because the uncle poisoned his wife, ergo he wants to get rid of Leon. We already know about " section 15" of the succession law... this to me, point directly at Constantin, the supposed poisoning of his wife neatly gets rid of Constantin's father, death of Leon would leave almost no option for the succession.... All that said, it is an interesting succession law that allows that the reigning monarch to pick anyone from their family to succeed. Under, for example the British system, Leon, as eldest son of eldest son would automatically be heir, even if his father was dead ( so Willliam, Duke of Cambridge still inherits whether Charles, Prince of Wales predeceases him or not.). Great story. Wonderful twists. The internal fights Leon/Logan have are really well and realistically written. Looking forward to more! Thanks
