I'm sorry, as written, Ollie was way off base and took liberties he should not have had. I also agree with @Summerabbacat,, this chapter certainly has your readers commenting.

I'm like WOW at this chapter, both good and bad...Has Mr Pepe LePew confined the illicit pictures/videos strictly to himself, or have they been 'shared' online? As of the moment, we do not have an answer to this, as @Altimexis has pointed out, just the thought has me seeing red!! Then, there is some fallout that will inevitably take place behind the scenes, between Nick's mother and the school, and serious financial recompense to be worked out. I have to wonder what they saw in hiring this cesspit to replace Mr G....who was responsible and vetted his qualifications??? Did Jack call his Grandmother? Miss Charice, the jury is still out, and I am liking her so far...why am I reminded of her twin sister from another mother...

Kids...here are three examples that justify youthinasia....

This thought also crossed my mind, and I also wonder about the source of Lachlan's funding for the start-up of his company...if that is how he got his start... As insistent as the a-hole was at the doorway, I would not put it past him to try to kidnap Rory...I would reach out to the police and give them a copy of the recording of his behavior...

My grandfather used to say...follow the money. When one's ox is being gored, those affected by the demise of their pet projects scream the loudest...

A fantastic short story, harkening back to those days when we sought other, like-minded folk! A very enjoyable read!!

Thank you for this and the story of a love that endured and those priceless friendships among the crew...I am not trying to be greedy, but...another peek into what Jamie and William are up to, along with the rest of the crew sometime would be lovely! Thank you for sharing this with us!!!

Interestingly there were several 'games' of chess being played here...

I still have issues with the last chapter, specifically how Ollie took advantage of Mack. Regardless of whether Mack was aware or not, the fact that no permission was given for what Ollie did was fundamentally wrong and on so many levels.

A lovely, descriptive chapter of what will be their new home, what other wonders will they find?

Just loved this chapter and the way it grew naturally....obviously there are many unresolved plot points, but this chapter was just sweetness and light... As to the future conflicts, especially the "businesses"...might the boys possibly found a champion??? Across the floor, watching them in the dark corner slow dancing together. Blake Wolochowski smiled, and nodded. Now the pieces all fit together. They weren’t front and center, they were hardly noticed in the whole swirling energy of the dance. But those two boys were finally beginning to find each other.

At base, Sylvie ran her fingers over a new communiqué. From an encrypted satellite. "They know. And they're coming." She looked to Ash. “We don’t have long.” He nodded. “Then let’s make the next move count.”

Well a tea parlor serving rum out the back door!!!!~!

You have deflection down to an art form...then...how about more so???

The way Micah reacted to Killian's comment/question is truly a great way to start off a relationship!!! Also...ask yourself, if he promised, and we know he did, to reveal the identity of Miss Night Club Bouncer/Ticket Seller to Killian and then welsh on the agreement, is strike #2... Personally, I feel our intrepid Jimmy Olsen clone isn't all he's cracked up to be, and I believe he is the "user" type...because that was a whole wagon full of dung he fed Killian with ultimatums...Micha doesn't do compromise easily....if at all....

Hoo boy, can Xylda be turned or stopped???

And another new word for the dictionary...

Thanks for doing this, and as noted, there are some terrific stories in this list!!

Time and tides have pulled our erstwhile lovers apart. Will their paths cross over the next thirteen years?

Can there be honor between thieves and gangsters?

Red herrings are at the spawning stage!! Jake, if it isn't drugs as noted above, working as an escort? Judy is acting very strangely...

I am wondering if a disclaimer should be added that no motor vehicle infractions occurred, that cars belonging to the inhabitants of this story won't have to go to the auto body shop... Now...on to the story, I felt it in the last chapter, and it is most likely my imagination, something is off with Micha, that he is also holding something back. From Ch 16 of All Lost Things... Micah...something appears off, most likely just my imagination but... "I dunno. Maybe. I don't have a lot of experience with getting picked up. He told me to be careful, that these guys eat boys like me for breakfast." Micah made a face. "At least he was telling the truth there." He took a sip from his glass. "What are you drinking?" "I'm of age," he said vaguely. "You want to dance?"

How true is the following...karma can/is/will be, a bitch... But in the end, if we live long enough, the past catches up. And if we’re not careful, we may live just long enough for it to do so — and no longer.

Let the fireworks begin, how many chapters left?

My guess is that all it's gonna take is who drops trow first, Kenny or Steve
