Wait, what? That wasn't the end, was it? Was that the last chapter? Omg, I'm so confused! lol But I am so happy Dave decided to man-up and kiss Dan. I want to know though, how long has Dave been feeling this way towards other guys? Or was it just reading "Byron's" stories that got to him? I mean, he didn't wake up one day and go, "Oh, I think I'll check out some blokes today." Damn, I hope there's more.

Omg, my mouth is hanging open! Firstly, I don't know where I was that I missed this chapter. But omg, DAVE?????? Is he like switching sides? lol See, he was expecting some guy he didn't know. He was anonymous. But now that he realizes DAN is the author he was talking to online and reading about, it's too real for him. He can't be like that with someone he knows, one of his best friends. Wow, poor Dan. Shit. Ok, thank God there's another chapter! lol

Jesus, Keith. I have to remember whenever I start a new chapter of yours that I need a box of Kleenex next to me. That was some chapter. Jasper is quite the wise one. He just gave Elliot permission to let go and find his love with Keith. What a great chapter. So thought-provoking. Great job, Keith. =)

Wow, that was...sad. It was very good writing, very descriptive. Will there be more?

Personally, I loved the commercial. lol And it was still PG-rated! The models for Victoria Secret (they still show those ads on TV, right?), are dressed in way less and I don't hear anyone getting into an uproar about that. All these guys did was shake their booties to make their bells ring. Now what's wrong with that? lol

Mint flavored lolly's...I'll be waiting! Sorta like candy canes? Man, I love those! lol That whole scene with Jae and Dan on the golf course just had me cracking up! Jae was gonna just drive off and leave Dan there, high and dry! lol Their banter is so funny. They really play off each other so well. Ha, and poor Dan got seasick. lol And I must ditto Jo Ann: awesome smut you wrote there, Sui! hehe Thank you for the shout-out, but you are the writer and w/o your wonderful words, I wouldn't have anything to edit. Did that sound cheesy? Sorry, it's after 1 a.m. and my brain is fried. And thank you for the author's note at the bottom. I did learn something about the filet/fillet. I never realized before that to fillet a fish is with two 'l's'. Awesome chapter as always, Sui!

Awww, I think Nikki's way too hard on himself. I love how you write grandpa - he's a really funny guy! I'm looking foward to reading about their fancy dinner.

Another great chapter, Sasha! Loved the description of the kitchen! lol So Jameson, the straight twin is on the cheerleading team and Erin, the gay twin plays football (shit, is it soccer? Sorry), with Luke. The scene in the kitchen with Erie and Luke was very sweet. Erie's a cutie alright!

What a tragically sad story, Keith. Poor Elliot - he went through hell when Jasper died. Poor kid, he was only nineteen. I can see why he would be scared and confused to admit his feelings for Keith. He wouldn't want Jasper feeling betrayed. But Jasper would want him to be happy and move on, not wallow in self-pity for the rest of his life. Another awesomely emotional chapter, Keith! Keep 'em coming! lol

I couldn't have said it any better than Jo Ann. I was at the house I own, watching the hardwood floor guys put down the floor. I had some downtime so I was reading "Porcupines" on my phone. When it got to the part where Chuck and Dylan went in to see Nanna, Iost it. I couldn't even finish the chapter b/c I was sobbing so hard and those damn workers were looking at me. So I had to wait unitl I came home to my new place. And of course I picked up where I left off, still crying. lol Nanna was such a wonderful person and she had do much insight into these kids. She saved Chuck's life. She was wonderful. I was dismayed that Chuck didn't win the big scholarship at the cooking school. But he shouldn't give up. When the sequel comes out (THE SUMMER???? THAT'S WAY TOO LONG A TIME TO WAIT!!!!! LOL), I hope he's studying happily at the cooking school. This was a fantastic story, Cole and I can't wait for the sequel and I look forward to other stories from you. Sorry I haven't been reading your "Loring Lane" story, but I'm not that into fantasy or sci-fi, and I think that story has magic or something, right? But the next story that's like "Porcupines", I'm there! Thanks for a terrific read, Cole.

That was a sweet chapter. I'm amazed (although I really shouldn't be), that these kids (Jake, Cody, the boys Jake hooked up with), were all doing it at fourteen!!! In middle school!!!! It just amazes me. They're so young, too young. Why didn't Jake ever see Cody again? Did Cody move? Didn't Cody go to the same high school as Jake? I found Danny's dad's acceptance of Jake's sneaking into Danny's room pretty mature. He could have forbid Jake to come over, he could have grounded Danny...but I guess he realized that if they weren't doing 'it' there, they'd do it somewhere else and maybe it wouldn't be safe. But yeah, don't tell mom. lol Funny conversation at the lunch table. I give Jake and Danny a lot of credit. It sounds like they go to a very progressive school, which is terrific. I wish all schools/kids were so accepting like that. Every day after school when I'm in line to pick up my kid, I see these two girls holding hands and it just makes me smile. No one ever says anything to them (I usually have my window down), and I watch and no one gives them disgusted looks. I just think it's great. I know our school is pretty progressive with a GSA and all (I don't even know if that qualifies for being 'progressive' anymore), but it's great to be able to walk around hand in hand and not be bothered by anyone. =) Great chapter, Eric!

So much has happened in this chapter. Since Miracle wasn't freaking out, I'm assuming he was at Sterling's when the drive-by happened. Was it Kyler? Why does Jaemin want Brian out of jail so badly? Jaemin is capable of so much destruction - doesn't Miracle see this? Or he sees it but chooses not to think about it. Sterling said Jaemin's not a bad guy with Miracle, but he's a bad guy with everyone else. That whole thing with Sarah was horrible. He just feeds into Melanie's shit and enables her just like everyone else. I actually think Sterling and Cody are the sanest of the group. lol

Another heartbreaking chapter, Andrew. Luka is so lucky to have Diego and all the others supporting him. I'm glad CJ waited until Luka came back. Luka wouldn't have forgiven him if he couldn't be there holding Winston during his last moments. This chapter really hit close to home. Not with a horse, but with my beloved, sweet little pit bull. I also held her while she took her last breath. She was only three and a half. Anyway...before I need those Kleenex again, this was another great chapter. I hope that the guy who claims to be Jesse's father isn't. At least he knows that they will all put up one helluva fight to keep him with them. =)

Well Eric, I hope you're happy! I had to run out to Best Buy and buy another goddamned computer! My computer just internally combusted after this last chapter! I like how Mama Moss is trying to protect her son from Danny. That was sweet. It was so believable that Jake confessed his love to Danny. After all, he's been in love with him for over three years now, right? You know how in many stories the "I love you's" are confessed so early on in the couples' relationship, well this particular confession was totally credible. Looking foward to the next update!

So like Elliot was dreaming while he was in the coma, right? Who was Jasper? Was he mentioned before? He must have died though, right? I just want Elliot to wake up and see Keith sitting there waiting for him.

I'm really loving this story, Eric! Jake and Danny are so cute together. =) I'm really curious to find out what Jake's mom wants to speak to Danny about. I just wanted to point out two typos, if you don't mind. 'The ballet took my keys' should be 'The valet took my keys' and 'he laid Danny on his back on the ground...me grouching above him...' should be crouching above him. Ok, on to chapter four.

Thank you for the nice comments. =) I fell in love with Viv's stories awhile back when I was perusing the anthos. I just love the way she writes and with every story I found myself at the edge of my seat waiting with bated breath for the next line. I really hope that people will see this review and want to read the series. I'd love it if she continued b/c she sort of left us hanging...

GAH!!!! There's too many boobs!!! Where area all the guys???????????????? lol

Well, a lot was going on in this chapter. I was thinking the same thing Jacob was about Will - how Will is so different now, I remember previous chapters where Will was I guess for lack of a better word, submissive. Now he's dominant and a sex-crazed machine! lol I can see where he doesn't want to take his meds, but aren't there meds that don't take away your libido, but can also control the bi-polar disorder? Not sure how all this is going to work with the four of them living together. What happens if the electrician comes back? Oh wait, Will will have a go at him! lol I wonder if Chris will ever feel comfortable coming clean to Jacob? Now of course Jacob probably regrets saying those three little words to Chris. Oh, I almost forgot to mention: you should have explained more when Chris was thinking about Jacob b/c I had forgotten that they know each other from online and Jacob doesn't know that Chris is his online "buddy", for lack of a better word. Also, there were quite a few spots where you were missing words. Little words here and there were missing such as 'he', 'his', etc. And one more thing b/c I am really a picky person: after Chris had his little (or big, lol), happy ending, he sat in his chair for an hour contemplating what he was going to do about Jacob. Then he got into bed and smeared his stuff all over the sheets. Well, after an hour, I don't think there would be anything to smear! lol Another good chapter, JMH!

Jeez Keith, you need to put up a warning: WARNING! THIS CHAPTER WILL CAUSE TEARS! READ AT YOUR OWN RISK! Lol Seriously, this chapter was all kinds of sad. My heart is breaking for Hubert's family now. His wife already wanted to give up. Now she'll just try harder. Which I personally think is selfish. She has a newborn who is counting on her mother to take care of her. What will happen to the baby if Hubert's wife kills herself? Keith should be talking to Elliot as much as he can. There's a good chance that Elliiot can hear what's going on around him and it will do him a world of good to hear Keith's voice. I wonder if he has swelling on his brain? If the swelling goes down, he might wake up. Needless to say, I'm anxiously awaiting the next chapter. =)

Why am I the only one reviewing all these sex scenes? lol Although Matt and Thomas say they don't care if Andy and Randy are 'doing it', I think if they walk in on them in the morning, they will care. I think they'll both feel jealous. Maybe Andy and Randy won't be doing anything b/c they will know they'll only be doing it out of spite. Maybe that will get them to stop. They wouldn't be doing it b/c they want to, they'd be doing it just to get back at Matt and Thomas. I'm looking forward to seeing where this goes.

Shit, I can't believe I missed this chapter. I know how Keith was feeling after talking with Erasmos (is that how you spell it?), about Elliot. But he shouldn't listen to what other people say about the ones you love. He should hear it from the horse's (Elliot's), mouth. He should have called Elliot back and agreed to meet with him. Elliot probably got into the car accident on his way to meet Keith, even if Keith never got back to him. Ok, on to the next chapter;

Jesus, Pink! I didn't see any warning that said: DANGER! WILL CAUSE TORRENTIAL TEARS!!! READ AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!!! Shit that was sad. But it was a beautiful story nonetheless. I really love your writing, Pink. =)

I need to find a job where I can access GA too! lol Oh, it's 11:41, just came from my other house and now I'm getting ready for parent/teacher conferences today. Whose house are you tutoring at? How's the head? How's the hand? I hope you are on the mend, Addy! Can I use that name too? I like it; it's cute. =)

Yeah, I can certainly see how Mark's reaction could have scared Trey from re-enlisting. It actually got me all choked up thinking that all these boys and men who come back, in one piece physically, or maybe not in one piece physically, are all damaged. They will never be the same due to their experience at war. All that horror that they experience can never be erased from their minds, and if they're lucky enough to not have it bother them during the day, it'll come out at night in their nightmares. What a horrible way to live. And that's not even including the men who are injured. They have to deal with their physical injuires as well as their mental well-being. I'm glad Trey finally made his decision.
