I ditto all your other reviewers. I really like how natural Jackson seems when he's around Luke. We don't know how Luke is with other kids his age; he has said he doesn't really have friends, but I'm sure he is very comfortable around Jackson too. Although, he still doesn't want to talk about some things. Hopefully that will change in time. I enjoyed reading about Luke's swimming lesson. It's good that Jackson could give something back to Luke (the balloon painting thing). Jackson just needs to focus more on swimming and less on the friends he's 'missing'.

Luke's mom is a piece of work. I certainly wouldn't want to be homeschooled by her either! What, she's so afraid her son will pick up bad habits in a (GASP!) public school? Or just bad habits from Jackson (which of course she thinks already). Glad Luke's dad doesn't seem like such an ass. I always loved your dialogue in your stories, Krista, but I especially love the banter between Jackson and Luke. Luke first came across as a little meek or shy, IMO, but he doesn't take any shit from Jackson, so kudos to him. Ok, on to the next chapter.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY FIELDMAN!!!!! I hope you're having a great day!

Can't believe I missed this chapter and chapter six! I loved the action of their 'outing', or whatever type of place it's called. Paintball? Water guns? lol I was happy to read that Jackson was actually having FUN with Luke! Imagine that! lol Ok, on to chapter six!

I ditto Robert; fantasy, scifi, paranormal are stories I wouldn't even look at, BUT, that being said, I would love to read more about Sudal and what happened to him. I love the way you wrote the story, Cia, and you really had me hooked very early on. Despite this not being the usual type of story I would read, I thoroughly enjoyed it and would love to see more.

Wow, Cole, you really had me biting my nails on this one! The shootout scene was so realistic that I felt like I was there in the car with Jeff and Phillip! Great job! I have to agree with your other reviewers; reading this story made me hungry, and it also made me realize how I just take eating out for granted! (Not that I do it often, unfortunately.) I never take the time to just savor the food, and I never realized how the chef mixes flavors and textures. I actually never thought about it before. Terrific story, Cole! And as usual, all your stories always have me running to the kitchen for a snack!

Hay is for horses!

So, since I didn't have my bi-annual (?) reminder (you shall remain nameless, but you know who you are! ), about DST, I had NO IDEA it was today, last night, whatever. lol I'm just glad I didn't have to be at work at 8AM this morning! lol Still going through the anthos--they're all so great; I'm glad there's no contest here! And of course your weekly wrap-up reminds me I've been falling behind on all the other stories! Thanks, Renee!

Found it! Exhaling the Past, right? I'm looking forward to reading more anthos with these guys.

What a compelling story, Addy! What a horrible life (and fate) Zaidu lived. To have to kill his loved one and join that witch's army was a horrible thing to have happened to him. I'm glad in the end he tried to redeem himself, and by doing this, saving Adam. I look forward to reading more about the pair.

Yep, I agree with everyone here -- Hank is creepy and of course mentally ill. For a while there you had me thinking he and Danny were actually in a relationship! Excellent writing, Val! You sure knew how to twist and turn this tale! Yes, Hank is a victim in his own way, but I feel the true victims are Danny and Tristan. They were robbed of a future together, and Danny will never be the same after this. How will he ever be able to trust anyone again?

Emi, I read this poem and the last poem quite a few times. This one is very sad also. Two lives lost, unexpectedly, right? If I read it correctly... Wonderful poetry, Emi! I think you've found your calling!

A very sad and powerful poem, Emi. Waiting for so long to finally take the ultimate step off that proverbial cliff. Where did the happiness from the last few poems go?

I also smiled while reading this, Emi! It's so easy to picture that child dancing in the rain while the adult starts singing along with the dancing.

Perfect, Emi! I love it!

Damn, who is this Bobberson guy who has a name like a porn actor? That kid who threw the keyboard handled it all wrong. He only threw it because he was pissed at himself, and he knew Eli was right. Awesome chapter, Milos!

Great story, Mom! I loved how you used the theme 'Crossing the Line' in your story -- for the hockey game they played, and for the hopes of opening Brady's virtual closet and having him cross that line. Hopefully his father will give him another opening where Brady can tell him and leave that closet forever. Like your other readers, it left me very sad for all the Bradys out there in the world, and I am sure there are too many to count. I would love to see this continued...(hint, hint! )

I went through a whole gamut of emotions: tears at the fate of Daniel's childhood friends, more tears when he and Ibi were temporarily torn apart, anger at Daniel's ignorant relatives, and anger at the nasty immigration agents, and finally happiness that Daniel and Ibi really did get their HEA! And with the help of Blueye (not to be confused with Ole Blue Eyes ), and his fiancee, Nate! It's so hard for me to comprehend that there are so many places in the world that are still living in the middle ages. It's so sad thinking there are people who live in these ignorant societies, and they can't do anything about it. Excellent story, Parker! I'd love to read more about D&I someday. And a second congrats on the dragon's tails: I still have to read about A&Z's nuptials, but at least I read about D&I's.

I'm not into scifi (scify?) at all, but boy was I sitting at the edge of my seat! This was definitely one helluva nail-biting story, Myr! Besides the action packed drama, the banter between Bill and Aegis was hysterical! He's got one funny A1! Great story, Myr. I would actually like to read a sequel!

Good story, Renee! I think this was a good place to end it. In my mind, Landon challenged his grandfather, and the rest of the elders agreed with him, and they had a sort of impeachment, and then Landon took the throne and declared Dom as his mate.

Thank God I'm able to open my eyes now without my head pounding into oblivion! Now I can start reading these awesome anthos! Thank you Renee, A.J., and the rest of the Antho Team, and of course, thank you to the authors; if not for you guys, there wouldn't be any anthos! Ok, so I'm still loopy from the meds; please excuse any stupidness on my part.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CLO!!!!! I hope you had a wonderful b-day!

Twoey's premonition is scaring me also. This is not good. I did notice that when D2 was talking with Chuck AND with Twoey, he sounded like D1. He talked about things before D2 came into the picture; I thought that was a good sign, that maybe D2 won't sort of overcome D1's mind. And what is going on with D1's father? Does he not LISTEN to his son when he's going on and on about adultery? Does he not HEAR the THEME of adultery his son seems obsessed about? And does he not HEAR all the religious stuff he's spewing with the woman that lives in his house? How DENSE is his father anyway????? lol I think he needs a reality check!

First, I gotta say, Skinny, I found the Teen Bible Study very interesting. Not being religious AT ALL, I was engrossed in reading what D2 was saying. He really did his research! lol It's amazing he remembered all that! PPF was trying his best to demean D2 and talk down to him, but D2 prevailed! He sure showed PPF that he knew his shit! I loved how the class just took off after that, excitedly talking amongst themselves. Stupid question: why does Randy think David bats for his team? I also found it interesting that David liked Alex better when sort of took charge; he didn't care for the vulnerable, adoring Alex. I think D2 needs to stick some more pins in those voodoo dolls; I didn't see PPF limping at all! Or rubbing his knee! I really like reading the different POVs. Wish we heard from Sam in this chapter. I'd be curious to read what he thinks of this whole mess. And as mg777 noted, I would be thrilled if you changed the title from "18 Weeks of Twoey" to "28 + Years of Twoey" or some such number! As far as I'm concerned, this story can go on forever! It works for Comsie! I think when I joined GA, Billy Chase was probably on chapter 150, and on the 50th book! So I had no chance of reading THAT! So it's up to you, Skinny! This could be book one of a future of Twoeys!!!

I'm glad Tommy has decided to speak to Gary about D2. I'm actually surprised Gary texted Mike. Maybe Mike can help in some way, Idk...I don't even think an intervention will help. D2 needs Putin. He should start meditating like D1. He can't go at this alone; it's too dangerous. I was just thinking: if PPF drives an SUV, then who has the white van? Unless it's the church van? So happy the voodoo dolls are working on the woman who lives in David's house!!! I can't wait to see PPF limping because of his knee! D2 definitely needs some kind of camera. He should ask to borrow Chuck's; he should NOT get Chuck involved in this stuff AT ALL!
