Hey Sacred! Love your story! It was a very sweet chapter. As long as you don't plan on updating every day (lol), I'll be more than happy to proofread the chapters for you. You can email me at LisaT25@msn.com and if you send me the first chapter I can fix some errors and then when you're ready with the next chapter you can just email it to me. If you would rather not use me to proof the chapters, that's fine, no big deal. I'll just look forward to reading the next chapter. =)

Damn Andrew, I'm waiting until you post chapter 21 to review. lol Well, I'm actually waiting to read the last few chapters on here..... Great story though!

Lily's the best. I feel so bad for Alexi. I'm sure the more you think about the panic attack and your chest tightening, the more it happens. Wouldn't it help if he talked to someone about this, like a therapist? I'm glad Joshua's there to help him. Alexi shouldn't feel so bad about people helping him. Great chapter lilansui! =)

Jesus Kim, I just bit all my nails off. lol I am so hurting for Alec right now. Heath too, but Alec more b/c I'm sure Alec feels like whatever him and Heath had is now over b/c of his past relationship with Simon. And Alec doesn't even understand WHY. Did Alec ever even know Simon was a cold-blooded killer?? I can't imagine Alex ever falling for someone like that. I'm sure Simon lied and manipulated Alec, but still. And Alec's poor desperate attempt to keep Simon there....so sad. I wonder if Simon will tell Heath the truth. Heath was better off staying at Alec's; Alec would have told him the truth. Shit, what a mess this turned out to be. Honestly, I don't even know if Alec could have a relationship with Heath if he ever found out what Heath does. And of course it brings me back to my original question: what the HELL did Alec ever see in Simon in the first place? Awesome chapter Kim! Hopefully my nails will grow back by the time the next chapter rolls around so I can bite them all off again. lol

It did sound like Dean was/is in love with Tyler. I'm really curious what happened between them. And Dave better stop thinking of Dean like that when Dean lets his guard down. lol Nothing good can come of that. And I hope Dave tells Tyler the truth soon. This is all gonna blow up in Dave's face. Dave will wind up losing Tyler AND his job. I'm so glad you updated Em!

Poor Henry. I hope he doesn't try something stupid. You know, Jean's such an ass. He must have known how Henry felt; he knows what kind of boy Henry is. He knows Henry wouldn't just go off with him just to get his rocks off. Jean's been teasing Henry from the start; flirting with him, sitting on his lap, making out with him all the time. Why wouldn't Jean just go for another whore like himself? lol I think Ari is so lucky to have such an understanding and smart mom. And I understand her reasoning on why she didn't want to tell her mom about her. Actually the same thing is happening on this soap that I follow. The dad keeps saying how he doesn't have any problems with people who are gay, etc., etc. But when his son came out he did have a problem. Then he denied it, but when he sees PDA's from his son and his b/f his homophobia comes thru. But she is lucky. Henry needs to find a nice boy who will want to be with him for him, and not try to get into his pants. lol

Hey Fitz! Thanks for the reply in response to my review. I guess I misunderstood about Noah's profession. I thought that Will was trying to get Scott to talk with someone b/c he knew Scott didn't want to talk with him,(especially as a therapist). So when Scott finally agreed to meet Will's friend, I was just assuming he was a therapist, as well as his friend. So what does Noah do? Was it mentioned and I just wasn't paying attention? lol

Omg, I was thinking the same thing about Eric and Heidi! lol This last chapter was terrific! I love the 'perverted version of Ward Cleaver', that was hysterical. This story was wonderful. All three of the characters grew and learned what was important in life and who was important. You brought out so many emotions in every chapter and the dialogue was superb. I looked forward to every update. I'll really miss these boys, but I can't wait to read your next story!

I gotta admit that Zach sure has empathy and understanding for a four year old. I'm sure he didn't inherit these good traits from his "mother". (I'm using that term very loosely) It must have been Noah's weekly visits that shaped Zach's character. After all, his father is a therapist. lol The last scene in the chapter was really moving. I'm glad Scott finally was able to go into Steve's office. It must have been very difficult for him to do. Terrific chapter Fitz!

Damn you, you made me cry. lol I didn't realize I missed a chapter before this one. It must have been when I was still w/o power..... I'm so glad they finally got together. I'll be honest with you, at the beginning I really wanted Min and Shin to get together. Well, more than they were anyway. lol But Young Jae grew on me. It was so sweet at the end with the rings. Made me cry. Excellent story lilansui! Now I look forward to more EB&Catnip. =)

I ditto everyone. lol I want to know what Ogre will do regarding football. LM is out and I can't see him going in the closet for Ogre. I'm thrilled Eric FINALLY 'saw the light' and realizes how much LM loves Ogre and how important Ogre is to him. It's just too bad it took all that angst and getting beat up by a crippled, naked LM. lol I was cringing every time LM smashed Eric's head in the couch. Ouch. I was wondering though when Eric was congratulating LM for hitting Ogre, he said, "Ogre, when you piss someone off, you do it right." But Ogre pissed LM off only because HE LISTENED TO ERIC!!! If he had gone with his heart and his gut instinct, none of that shit would have happened. And like everyone else, I don't want this story to end. It's been terrific writing from the very first sentence. Also, on an unrelated note: did you get your pen name from "Rambling Man" from The Allman Brothers? I was just looking at the name late last night when I first started reading the chapter and it came to me! "Rambling Man" - anyway, just curious. =)

Andrew, I've been following this on the other site and I'm so happy you're posting it here, b/c honestly, I'd rather leave a review here then email an author. =) Anyway, I absolutely LOVE this story and I've learned so much about horses from it! Can't wait till you post more chapters so I can comment better.

Damn Adrian. He screwed with Alexi's feelings again. I hope he suffers for this. Although I really don't understand; he's with this Teresa lady, but then he's talking up Alexi like he's God's gift, why? He's been stringing Alexi along for a long time now, why would he talk so highly of him. It's obvious he doesn't think much of Alexi; he certainly doesn't respect him, if he did, he would have never treated Alexi like this. Now Alexi's a mess and Joshua has no idea what happened. I can feel Joshua's disappointment and heartbreak as Lily drove away. He probably thinks he'll never see Alexi again. Terrific chapter lilansui. I'm looking forward to the next one. =)

Well, we had an inkling that Simon had a personal motive for siccing (is that how you spell it? I'm too tired to look it up.) Heath on Alec. Now the question is: how do they know each other? And why the heck is Alec STILL keeping a photo of them together? And if and when Heath decides to come clean with Alec, I have a feeling that will NOT go over well. And I guess Heath is going to forgo speaking to Simon first. Now Alec is probably wondering how the hell Heath knows Simon. Ahhh, the plot keeps getting thicker and thicker! =) I can't wait to read more!

Ah, finally got my power back and was able to read this. You had me in tears. It's amazing the "mothers" that are allowed to raise children. And I use the term 'mothers' and 'raise' very loosely. It's unconscionable (I probably massacred that spelling, but I'm too tired to look it up) that Willow was doing drugs around a four year old. Never mind the meth which I understand from another story on here that it can completely screw with your mind and make you do things you wouldn't normally do. I hope Willow goes away for a long, long time. I was a surprised that Scott got temporary custody of Zach. I know it was at Noah's insistance, (shit, I think I got that spelling wrong also) but they haven't been together that long, so I thought it was a bit sudden on Noah's part. Even though Scott is awesome with Zachy. Lol, my middle son is Zach and we call him Zach Zach. Even though he's seventeen now. lol And you have the four year old mentality and speech down pat. I was laughing at am boo lance (was that the right way?) and momma's going to the big house, do I have to move too? He is so sweet I just want to eat him up. =) Terrific chapter Fitz; looking forward to the next one!

The end??? This story is way too good for it to end! I really enjoyed this. I loved the fact that Owen and Cooper met online and then met in person and are living hopefully, happily ever after. It was a really great story Cia.

Thank God I was able to read this before my power went out. lol I'm upset with Ogre for even listening to Eric and breaking up with LM. It makes me so angry that kids are so worried about their athletic scholarships and what their teammates/coaches will think of them if they ever found out they're gay. I don't understand what that has to do with how they play. I've read so many stories about kids who won't come out of the closet, (or even be seen with someone who's gay), b/c they're so worried about what other people would think and about their future career. It just makes me so angry that people can't just let others be. Let them be who they are and who the hell cares what sexuality they are. It doesn't affect the way they play whatever sport they do. Ogre should have stuck up for himself and LM. I really believe, even if Eric thinks he's protecting LM by having Ogre end their relationship before LM is heartbroken even more, that Eric has deep feelings for LM. Feelings that go beyond best friends and that really close relationship they have. I think he's really jealous of Ogre. If he wasn't, he wouldn't stiffen up everytime LM mentioned his name. This was such an excellent chapter, although I agree with aleconfire: you should have a warning of excessive violence in the chapter just to warn readers. That said, I was in tears just reading about the attack. I kept thinking Ogre has to come in and save LM. I couldn't imagine Ogre leaving LM there. I was picturing him sitting in his truck the whole time waiting for LM to come out. It's so obvious that he loves LM and he's only listening to Eric to protect LM also. I'm just so glad he was there in time to save him b/c I'm sure that guy was going to slit LM's throat. I'm on pins and needles waiting for the next chapter. Hopefully if you post it next week, I'll have my power back, but I doubt it. lol Great job Mann!

Sam is a pisser; I was laughing during all of his questions to Oscar. Oscar's father is such an ass. To make those insulting comments to Olivia's parents was totally uncalled for. I say good for Olivia's mom for sticking up for them and trying to put Oscar's father in his place. I can't believe he told Olivia's father to "put his wife in her place". Omg, get out of the 15th century! lol And good for Olivia's father for supporting his wife. What a bunch of snobs Oscar's parents are! I'm looking foward to the next chapter James. hopefully Oscar's parents won't find out he's texting Olivia! lol

I've been waiting for a week and a half to read this! I finally had some uninterrupted time and thought I better read it before my power goes out. I'll be internetless (is there such a word? lol) for at least a week, I'm assuming due to this storm coming. And trust me, reading this is so much more entertaining than being glued to The Weather Channel. Owl, Owl, Owl (or do you prefer NIght? I'm never sure and in my last review response you signed it Night, but everyone else is Owl, so maybe I'm special. Hahah, just kidding. So let me know what you prefer. What an awesome chapter! I love that Billy and David are getting closer. I think it would be great if they take Walker and Chris up on their offer to go out. It's great living with someone that you're in love with, but they've never even gone out together and I think this would be a great opportunity to just let loose and be themselves w/o worrying about anyone catching them. Especially Billy's tool of a father. I swear, every chapter he gets worse and worse. I totally don't trust his ass now. He's putting too much emphasis on the new horse food and I'm hoping he's not setting his own son up for heartbreak with the horses, never mind with David. David has got to love Billy; there is no way he would normally want to stay living there w/old man Templeton breathing down his back. William just creeps me out. Especially now that he's being quiet and smiling. Never trust his smiles; he's up to no good, I can feel it. It sitll amazes me that he has so much power and control over everyone in that household. I know you explained about Seth and the fact that they don't have any computers, so Annie and Billy don't have any way to contact him except by snail mail. Do any of Billy's friends have a computer? Maybe Billy can email Seth, (I'm assuming HE has a computer), from one of his friends' computers? Oh, I was also wondering: David told Billy if he can't stay there, they will stay in contact with each other and then in February he will come back for Billy. How will they contact one another? Will old man Templeton even allow David's mail in the house? lol Maybe Billy can use a friend's home address and David can write him there. That seems like the safest. But hopefully he'll be able to stay. And if Annie didn't know anything was going on between Billy and David earlier, now I'm sure she does with that little "wrestling match" they were doing. lol But as I've said in earlier reviews, I am positive she's known how they feel about each other just from the time she pretty much interrupted them that one time in the rain, out on the porch, when they were just about to kiss. Another terrific chapter Owl/Night, lol. Can't wait for the next one!

I read this late last night but wanted to wait to review. This chapter was terrific. Loved the Starbucks coffee cup; Tristan is one-of-a-kind, that's for sure! Gatorade for gay men - hysterical Coffee-gate, so many funny lines. Your sense of humor is amazing Tony. I did love the banter back and forth between Cameron and Tristan. Tristan's flirting, but I also get the feel that Cameron is flirting also. But...WTF is with Justin? What's with Justin's hand on Cameron's shoulder when he wanted to leave? Are they just friends, or is there something more going on? And then Cameron's sorta sending mixed signals to Tristan. Terrific chapter Tony. I cannot wait for the next one. =)

Wow Cia, I'm in tears. The whole scene with Pete was heartbreaking. I guess it's better that Pete doesn't remember Cooper, otherwise he'd be even more upset that his best friend wouldn't be visiting him anymore. Great job with the chapter Cia. I'm looking forward to the next one. =)

First off: Ben's an ass. He knows him and Patrick need to talk. He said he could make time over the weekend. So why did he tell Patrick to come to the volleyball game when he knew they wouldn't be able to talk there? Patrick should have come the next day when Ben could make time for him. Jeff seems nice and he's not sending Patrick any mixed messages like Ben is. But I know, first loves are hard to let go of, even after twenty years. I'm looking forward to the next chapter.

Shit, I don't know what rock I just crawled out of, but I missed this chapter's update. I also agree w/Louis; I would have confronted Ben and found out what was going on w/Rob before I just stormed out of there. That whole scene/phone convo really threw me; I was not expecting that there was any relationship like 'that' between Ben and Rob. Was this during his marriage also, or just after it? And why then did he even contact Patrick? He must have known deep down how Patrick felt about him; why even start anything up again if there's Rob to complicate everything? Get rid of Rob first. lol Ok, on to chapter five!

Ah, Young Jae's secret is out. And it looks like Min feels the same way. =) I don't know what he's gonna do about his mother. Or his uncle. So he never met his uncle? I guess that would be his mother's brother? I'm looking forward to reading about the gala.

Weren't the characters Luke and Noah way back when? I seem to remember that. lol But I do love the names Riley and Kyle; awesome start to another awesome story Sid!
