I agree that it really seems like Jacob and Maggie are getting away with their crime. The sad thing is -- and I'm sure there have been actual studies on this -- I would surmise that in 99% or more of rapes, this is what happens in real life. I mean that the rape doesn't get reported to the police. Unfortunately. But it also makes sense. Think about it, if you had just been raped, would you want to then have to deal with the dickhead police and the inevitable snide "you must have been asking for it" innuendos and looks. Which would be infinitely worse in the case of a same-sex rape. The whole thing sucks for Kayden.....but I have faith in his resiliancy!

Wow, that was great. I love the drama! The entire time that Kayden and Trent were screwing in Kayden's bed, I kept expecting Mark to burst in on them after he came home from work unexpectedly because he forgot some important papers. Or whatever. But what actually happened was even better. (or worse, I guess is a more apt description.) But poor Emma, 8 more years of having to live with that asshole of a father is going to kill her spirit. Maybe Cho will grow a backbone and tell Mark to piss off. Not counting on it, though.

I was fully expecting Trent to lose it and beat the shit out of Chase in front of the paparazzi and then end up in jail on assault charges. I was partially expecting that Trent had a knife on him and would pull it out and use it during the fight with Chase. So the charges against him would become assault with a deadly weapon. Trent would not have been able to post bail if that happened. So then I was picturing Kayden having to come out to his dad by asking Mark to lend him $10,000 to help him get his boyfriend out of jail. Obviously it's a good thing I'm not writing this story, because all of this would have been totally lame and I'm super glad that none of it happened. I love this story and can't wait to find out what will actually happen next. Thanks for continuing to put so much time and effort into it. My opinion hasn't changed at all: it's still really, really good.....better than ever, in fact.

This is very thought-provoking and so UN-politically correct. I love it!

Maybe Trent should tell Sara about the video, she seems pretty smart and might come up with a better plan than whatever Mitch has in mind. I think Trent is still as much of an asshole as he was in the beginning, except not to Kayden any more. I find it refreshing the way Trent is so rude and boorish. At least people never have to guess how he really feels about anything! Great work as always.

That was heart-warming, thanks Comsie. Also you're gonna spoil us with two chapters in a month!!

Wow! That was really poignant and depressing and beautiful and the whole thing made me cry. Fantastic writing. Totally worth the wait. Thank you.

I have a few questions / comments: 1) This is REALLY good! Anyone reading this who is "bored" with the story, is completely insane and you really don't want people like that as your fans anyway.....do you? 2) On the second night that Kayden snuck out to go over to Trent's house (well I guess they never actually made it to Trent's house the first night, but that's beside the point) - I am talking about the night of the "fashion show" with Diana -- why did Kayden not have the buttplug "installed", on that night? I thought that anywhere Kayden goes, he is supposed to always have the buttplug stuffed up his butt? And Trent didn't even get mad! 3) Isn't Mark going to notice Kayden's new wardrobe and flip his lid? [Although seeing his son getting fucked (and loving it!) on TMZ might help him put the whole wardrobe thing in perspective....] 4) You have no idea how much I wish that I had had the good sense, when I was in my 20's, to ask the kinds of questions Kayden asked of Trent, before I moved in with some guy I barely knew, or before I decided it was a good idea to try to convince the hot guy I picked up at the bar 2 nights ago to move in with me "permanently". Kayden is very smart to wonder "what will happen when you (=Trent) get sick of me?" Or how he would be able to support himself. Kayden is a really smart guy. Trent is damned lucky if you ask me. 5) Trent is obviously still a total asshole, yet he's really growing on me, in spite of his assholeishness. 6) The end of this chapter is about a million times more interesting than a threesome with Lucas! It sure looks like there is epic and explosive drama ahead.....I can't wait to see what's going to happen next! Michael

But please don't actually let any of these characters get any therapy, because who wants to read about a bunch of well-adjusted, rational, reasonable, "normal" people?! (I suppose that could be the point at which the story ends....) I know that this isn't a democracy, but here are my votes on some of the more pressing plot-related questions: Therapy for some or all of the characters? NO! Wrap up the story soon? NO! Threesome (Kayden/Trent/Lucas)? YES! Mitch accidentally walks in on the threesome? YES! Mitch joins in the threesome? NO WAY! GROSS! Vince and Sara accidentally walk in on the threesome? YES! Vince and Sara join in the threesome? NO! That would be ridiculous. Diana accidentally walks in on the threesome? YES! As long as she walks out right away. Trent ties up Mark and holds him hostage for 72 hours, uses buttplug as gag? YES! (Actually, Kayden wouldn't like this at all so nevermind.) I'm glad that Mark isn't a single parent, because I agree with the comment above that he definitely gives off a vibe like he has the potential to become physically abusive or even sadistically violent towards his kids. It feels like if Cho hadn't been there at the dinner table, Mark would have tied Kayden up and forcibly removed both nipple rings. And probably slapped him around a bit, too. Which actually would have been kind of cool, because just imagine Trent's response after he found out that Mark was abusive towards Kayden. It would be epic! Every time I find a new chapter of this story has been posted, it totally makes my day. Thank you!

Another great chapter. A threesome between Trent and Kayden and Lucas would be hot, but afterwards, it would be emotionally scarring for Kayden and Lucas, I fear. I think if this were "real life", it would almost inevitably have to happen at some point (the threesome) because Trent wants it to, and Lucas (sort of) wants it to, and Kayden wants whatever Trent wants. On another subject, it now seems clear that Trent's mother is the exact opposite of oblivious and unobservant. I'm pretty sure that if she hasn't already figured it out about Kayden and Trent, she will put two and two together in the very near future....

The Vampire Zero definitely felt like one of the "good guys" when he and Justin "met" in the past. I am hopeful that this will still be the case. The Jeweler, I can't really figure out yet if he's evil, or is he more like a Willy Wonka type who just gets off on manipulating everyone and everything behind the scenes, and the more chaos that ensues, the better. It seems like if the Jeweler was truly "evil", he wouldn't have allowed Justin and Taryn to just walk away like they recently did. Regardless, Justin is clearly much better off at the Lot than in the clutches of the Jeweler, luxury accommodations notwithstanding. Thanks for another great installment, Comsie. PS - I'm sure you get asked annoying questions like this all the time....but I'm going to ask anyway: Is there anything a person could do to motivate you to binge-write Savage Moon????

I vote for both nipples pierced, followed by belly button, then penis piercing. And multiple tattoos, obviously in places where the sun don't (normally) shine. I also advocate for a threesome with Lucas so that Kayden can experience what it's like to be a top. I don't think Trent would actually want to do anything sexual with Lucas, but Trent would definitely get off on ordering Kayden to do humiliating sexual things to Lucas. And I think that Kayden would (surprisingly, to him) really like it too! I cannot wait for the scene when Mark finally finds out about Kayden and Trent. I'm counting on something completely over the top in its outrageousness and I know you won't let us down! I also have my doubts that Trent will be able to avoid going to jail at least once before the story is through. Between his anger at Chase and his inevitable future anger at Mark, combined with that no-holds-barred temper, there is no way that Trent isn't going to find himself in a situation where he just completely lets go and loses himself in a whirlwind of raw violence. Trent's only hope is if Kayden can somehow work his magic and save Trent from his own worst instincts. It's going to be so exciting to see how it all plays out. You're a master storyteller, mastershakeme. Thanks for all the work you're putting in to this project, it's really, really good, and so worth it -- keep it up!

Exactly just wait till you hit 40 if you think you feel old now! Thanks for another great chapter. I loved that Breaking Bad story but I love this one too. Maybe after you finish this one, that should be your next challenge!

Thanks for another great chapter. The scene where Trent announces to Emma that he & Kayden are fucking is priceless! I am wondering why Sarah would want to go out with Vince.... Lucas seems to have a knack for calling and/or appearing at the most inopportune moments. Trent has shown some more (still very rare, though) signs that there is some humanity under his asshole exterior. Can't wait to find out what is going to happen on Trent and Kayden's "date" on Friday night..... don't make us wait too long!

Another great chapter. I can't wait to see what Ethan will do when Trent aces the quiz. Isn't there some way that Kayden and Ian could sneak Emma to the Talent Show without Mark finding out? Kayden needs to be planning in advance what he's going to say when Mark discovers that Kayden has a "secret" second cell phone. Kayden also ought to be planning in advance what he will say in the event that Mark finds one of the butt plugs. (It could happen!) This is not even getting in to the stain on the Family's Honor that would result if it were to become widely known that Kayden is a proud gay cock whore.... It feels like there is a lot of excellent drama ahead!

The scene with Sarah is awesome, I haven't laughed so hard in months. You're a great writer and this story is captivating. I can't wait to see what will happen next!

He (Trent) is teaching Kayden how to live! If that's not a redeeming quality, I don't know what is.

Dodger - If I were Elon Musk, I would cash out a million dollars of my Tesla stock, and give it to you so that you could pay all your debts and quit your job for a few years and spend all your time either writing or screwing around or possibly even both. I sent a letter to the real Elon Musk via US Postal Mail in which I asked him to please do this. He has not responded, so there is still hope! In the meantime, thank you for writing when you can, and for sharing your brilliant work with the rest of us. I am still, all these years later, in awe of your talent. Sincerely, Michael

OMG this totally made me cry. Thank you, Comsie!

Regarding tying up loose ends..... Dodger! There is seriously no need for you to be stressing yourself out about deadlines involving tying up loose ends. Do they tie up loose ends on Days of Our Lives? Of course not! General Hospital? No way. So why would you want to tie up the loose ends in The Cockney Canuck, which is unquestionably vastly superior to these other critically-acclaimed series? In addition, please consider your addicted readers. For example, me. Do you honestly believe that it's going to somehow make my life better, if you tie up all the loose ends and then terminate The Cockney Canuck? How exactly would anyone's life be improved by the fact that we would never again be able to look forward to reading a new installment of this masterpiece?! Obvious answer: no one's life (except possibly yours, but that's irrelevant) would be improved by such a sad state of affairs. On the contrary, many people would find themselves drowning in a bottomless cesspool of despondency. Dodger, I am afraid that you do not understand the gravity of the situation. You have a not-insignificant number of readers who have nothing to look forward to in life besides the next chapter of The Cockney Canuck. While some might argue that these people need to get a life, that doesn't change the fact that if all one has to look forward to is the next chapter of The Cockney Canuck, and then one discovers that there will not be any more new chapters of The Cockney Canuck, because all the loose ends have been tied up -- well, I don't think it needs to be spelled out, just how dire of a situation that could be! So please, I am begging you to think about the effects that your words have on some of your more-fragile readers. It's ok to keep telling people that "there's only a few more chapters left", since no one knows what exactly "a few more chapters" actually means. But please, instead of "The story is set to conclude this year on or around Canadian Thanksgiving", why not leave it at, "The story is set to conclude on or around Canadian Thanksgiving." This gives you the latitude you need to extend the saga until Canadian Thanksgiving 2040. Which still probably won't be enough time to tie up all the loose ends! Note: although the above comments are (mostly) tongue-in-cheek, this is not: I love this story! Every chapter is consistently not just good, but great. I've never once lost interest. It's never become predictable or mundane. It really is way better than General Hospital! Thank you so much for all the time and effort you've put in to writing The Cockney Canuck, and thank you for sharing your brilliance with the rest of us. Even if (ok, when) you end The Cockney Canuck, please never stop writing, because talent like yours is rare and important.

I think Trent and Kayden are perfect for each other, even if Trent doesn't realize it yet. Jacob really IS creepy but what's even creepier is the not-insignificant number of guys out there in real life who are just like him... Can't wait to see what will happen next!

You've really set the stage for a twisted and fascinating story. I can't wait to see what will happen next. Only because these are fictional characters do I feel like it's ok to say that I hope that Trent humiliates and abuses Kayden in outrageous and shocking ways that I'm not even capable of imagining. The less politically-correct, the better. It feels like this is actually what Kayden needs. And wants!

You are an amazingly talented writer. This is so GOOD! I want to know what Kevin did for the rest of the (canceled) semester, after he drove away from the Bakers' house in the middle of Hurricane Katrina. I guess we (the reader) already knew that there was no hope for Kevin and Matt, given that it's been years since they were together, and no communication at all during that time. But starting to learn the details of how and why it actually happened (their "break up", if you will) is just awful. Still, I can't wait to find out what will happen next. This and The Cockney Canuck are the best stories on Gay Authors. Keep up the great work!

@Dodger If Stephanie really is pregnant, and if you've already written the spinoff, please tell me how I can buy it. I would pay any amount of money!

I know it's years later but I feel compelled to comment anyway. I absolutely agree with the readers who noted the significant improvement in your writing in recent chapters (and especially this one!) compared to the beginning of the story. But mostly I wanted to say that I like Zune and Edward as a couple. Zune has been wondering since the beginning, how will he know if or when he is truly "in love" with Kevin. Based on his actions, Zune is clearly not in love with Kevin. But, based on his actions, there IS someone with whom Zune is in love. Unfortunately, however, Zune is (at this point) completely in denial about the depth of his feelings for Edward. (Or, maybe I'm delusional and putting feelings in to Zune's mind that aren't really there!) I guess the point I'm trying to make is that I sincerely hope that I am not delusional. I sincerely hope that Zune will come to his senses sooner rather than later by realizing that he DOES know what it feels like to be in love. It's how he feels when he's with Edward. I also hope that Zune will stop being so hard on himself. Sure, he could have handled the situation a lot better than he did. But you can't change what you've already done, and beating yourself up over it, doesn't solve anything. I also hope Zune will quit blaming Edward for their little "indiscretion". (It takes two to tango....) Edward is obviously head-over-heels in love with Zune, and Zune needs to realize that the way he left things with Edward, is going to devastate the poor boy. It would also be devastating if Ed's father has hidden security cameras on the property, maybe even inside the house. If so, the father is going to get an eyeful. And Ed's probably going to get shipped off to reeducation camp. Thank you for writing this excellent story. I can't wait to find out what happens next. And the really great thing is that I don't have to!
