When I read this I thought was a jerk Levi was being, his reactions made no sense, and Blaine was bewildered. Then when I read his excuse, I was still thinking he was a jerk - albeit a tad less, then I realized I had this image of Levi as this totally together with zero issues, perfect guy and he isn't. Clearly he comes to this with his own issues and fortunately Blaine didn't get ticked off. Was a nice scene - like I said, it got me mad, then annoyed, then going oh yeah

I know this is probably a bit of a tangent to this, but most everything about how horrible this was to the little boy and the sad effect it had on him has been said. What struck me is this "Dr." Reker is like so many other despicable people who are willing to do whatever and say whatever to make a buck. Here he is a closet gay man, attacking gays and worse pointing the finger at little children scaring their parents into believing they are 'wrong' and he can 'fix' them. All the while using the money they get to lead a clandestine secret life. It's sad that there is no way to weed out these people. Clearly he needs a shrink more than he needs to be one.

Getting reviews now, I have to go back and see what is in the chapter being reviewed. This still affects me only because of - as you say - it has a kernel of reality in it. Sometimes it takes being dragged to the brink for people to come to their senses. That was what I was trying to get out here. -- Thanks for reading - and re-reading Trevor.

Not exactly how I expected it to end, but you could feel something coming. One of them had to end up dead - or both. The ending was perfect - will he beat the rap? will he go down? Will he hang for the murder? Will Davis - Stand by his man? And yet, the story is complete. Nicely done JW - really well done.

Really? Sneaky? Seriously, everything he said, Putting Peter on the spot etc, had a total double meaning, kinda :PAs for lucky to chat with me? pish posh, I'm the lucky one

Wait - they've kissed - quite a bit, slept together - as in just sleep, showered together and all that entails, but Blaine doesn't have Levi's number yet?? Talk about being distracted well this was as far as I got on the train today so the rest will have to wait for later BUT I wanted to say how much I enjoy the dialogue betweent he boys - Levi and Blaine - some of it seems mundane, but it is in those causal conversations that we get the feel for them both. Two things - Phil didn't sound terribly shocked by what happened, were there other episodes of rage we missed? No - don't tell me, it's probably to be explained later - but I found his lack of reaction puzzling, 2) What does Blaine know about Christian that we don't? I mean what switch went off that turned him into pyscho-ex? Maybe it's the prosecutor in me but I'd be leery about going to the police after punching Christian in the nose at the camp site. Not that it wasn't justified and Christian was not entirely blameless, but when he get's hauled into the police station, I could see him pointing to his face and saying, he did this to me and now he and that pyscho new BF of his are tormenting me with lies. Like I said, just my warped world view after 20 years in the 'business.'

Well for someone named Christian, he is anything but. I hope as this moves along we find the motivation for this inexplicable change in the ex. I do so love the - you weren't acting all that straight with my dick in your ass - line The bit at the end - see my PM to you. Nuff said

Well that was a feel good chapter - interesting how the two doofus's could both be on the same page but be totally worlds apart. I have to say that when I started this chapter, I had that - 'oh no, she isn't going to make them joined at the hip in 3 days' feeling. BUT I think it was good. Yes this does happen, never to me, which is perhaps why I cringe when I read it, but I know people meet someone and WHAM - there done for. Mike and I took a good six months of circling, calling, dating, etc for me to realize what he realized much sooner, but for Levi and Blaine, yeah it was good. And yeah, there's that little cliff again, do you write looking down the side of a mountain or something?

I read but never engage, so how about: Centaur as I have those on the brain lately.

OMG - that was so not the point All I meant was, if you don't come here and say "Hi, I'm new, my name is ... no one is going to say - Hi, .... because we have no idea a) you're new or b ) that you even read this forum. I've been more than welcomed, by you and quiet a few others - trust me when I say, I feel welcome, always have. I mean where else am I a Grumy Old Man?? Thanks Nephy.

Mark isa good guy. And the way you present him and Blaine feels so natural I could almost see them at the camp sight. Loved the - who's this - pointing to Ruff as if he wasn't surprised Blaine found a dog. Against its the things you show us that help define the characters the most

Wow alot happened there but it seemed so fluid you dont realize it until you go back. The way he runs off on Levi speaks volumes for his internal struggle. Poor Levi, gotta hurt being rejected like that - even if he understands why.

Levi has some gumption for a small guy. Brazen is another word. Ah yes a puppy makes everything better Levi being a vet sure made things easier So i like how we find out stuff as we go along and notin one giant lump - nicely done, the pacing is good, makes for an easy and engaging read

Bad break up, vindictive ex, outed to parents, no place to live, dag you dont play around do u? Blaine sounds like he hasnt been around much date wise but now he has quite a bit to deal with all at once. So where does this go from here

Life in the closet is a bummer, especially when you really like someone but can't acknowledge it. Peter's confidence is his strength, and perhaps his Achilles heel. Only time will tell on that, but you know that already don't you

Sneaking around DOES get old, it is bound to lead to problems. Sorry to disappoint but the 'spice' is few and far between. This is more about the boys and the rest of their lives with a bit of spice tossed in for fun. Though much of it is hinted at or done through innuendo. Hope that isn't too disappointing

Wise idea - been there done that - totally with you. [i'm putting purpose on a 2-3 week hiatus to finish the novella entry You'll feel better about the story when it's done this way too. Er that and I'm a bit behind so this gives me a chance to catch up on stuff and wait for you to finish.

Wow. Smoke no more Interesting to see Duncan and his power. Now let's see if he can hold off one very hungry, determined and upset Vampire Bryce. I really like how you are cycling back plot lines to weave them into the final part of the story - I mean I assume we are moving toward the finale and this isn't going to be a 75 chapter epic that never ends.

Wow okay, that was unexpected. Bashtar's sister's doll? well yeah that would explain how the plague made and the mystery of who is now something to ponder. Why does Cavel call that other guy Sir? Is there some confederation of clans that rules the clans separate and apart from the human government of the area where the clans reside? And I do hope you plan to explain the who mystery of why Davis is so hated? Right? RIGHT??

That ending was perfect. Lovely, beautiful, romantic and sweet - perfect Nuff said I suppose.

Well that was sweet - Marry me SO you DID give us 4 chapters of nice, can't say I'm upset.

Meh minor speed bump, where's the big wham coming? I feel it, I know you have it in you. I can't say dad's reaction was unwarranted. If Kyle were my kid and someone tore him up like Jared did, I'd be madder than a wet hen on a cold July day. Yeah sure, Kyle and can forgive but love blinds you sometimes. Loved the twist of Jared leaving again - God how that must have hurt Kyle. Fortunately he came back - not sure how Kyle would have reacted long term to Jared walking out like that. Very nice writing.

Well so far you haven't traumatized them again - yet so that's good right? Right?? Interested to see what all was in Chels journal. Also interested to see what Matt thinks. I mean he was living with her wasn't he? Or was he a part of this too?? Hmmm Something's up. You aren't going to give us four chapters of nice are you?

UGHHHHH so just when you have me thinking it isn't her it IS her. Well hats off for that. Okay so with 4 chapters to go, what ELSE are you gonna do to these two?

Okay so now I don't think it's Chels - maybe it's a family member of Jared? As I said when I started reading this again, I only read but so much - this wasn't as far as I'd gotten. So now you have me. I sure hope Brian isn't dead, he seemed nice enough that he didn't need to die. But now I gotta go see who And I thought Cia was bad. You shoulda won queen of Cliffs.
