Heaven weeps…while greed and lust of riches drive men crazy… He fell silent, tracing idle circles against Gianluca’s wrist, his mind already spiraling toward the shadow of Rome... the plots whispered through the Mercato, the rumors of papal envoys, the way Florence itself seemed to hold its breath before a storm.

One of your best chapters yet, and the following snippet was priceless… And Stephen, the good little monk, the boy who had been raised in a monastery, who had taken vows of silence and obedience, who had never seen anything like this—Stephen lowered his towel. He looked at Val. At Julian. At Lloyd. At Darien and Wylan, sitting together on the bench, their shoulders touching, their hands almost meeting in the water. "Is this what family is?" he asked. Darien looked at him. At the boy who had been a joke, who had become a healer, who was trying to understand a world where monks became squires and knights became lords and men loved each other in bathhouses and women who were legally men washed away the blood of a massacre. "Yes," he said. "This is what family is." Stephen nodded slowly. He set his towel aside, walked to the edge of the pool, and lowered himself into the water hoping that he could cool down a little bit before he went off with a pop.

You mean that out of warranty car repair insurance we see adds for on TV?

My type decades ago….sigh…..

Love, simply love this genre of stories!!!

Unless he can convince them he wants to be a dealer....

How often does he have to go to the pet groomers...once a week, month???

Now there’s a birthday surprise…

Goran is walking a fine line with his escapades….

And now the difficult undercover work begins, and Sam escapes using the illegal drug…

The red herrings may need shaving cream… No closer to a definitive suspect, what if Kyle is a gang leader and everyone is involved?? Another chapter where no cars were harmed…and when does Chris start?

While not needing the details, the legacy to be distributed in the will must have been substantial to engender the reaction Ken and his mother are getting. There’s a special place in hell for greedy relatives… Marvin is the calm, soothing tonic the doctor ordered…

It is becoming readily apparent that Jamal will be a knight of some importance and honor, a fine selection to carry on the traditions of the order…I love how Septimus is so easily fooled and led astray..this overconfidence will be the ruin of him…

This looks very interesting to say the least…after that many shots, I’d be sleeping on the bar floor…

This so needs to be a TV series, it is just such a treat!! PJ and Joss need a story all of their own… As with all these stories, I’m never sure where where they will go and wished they would go on nearly indefinitely…

Well…as the young teen in the movie, Joe and the Volcano, said…”There’s something to be said for playing with yourself”… In all sincerity, this leaves other forms of recreation….

He locked the frigging gate…and somehow survives long enough to to die face down in a ditch. A damned shame it wasn’t a latrine ditch. Perhaps that oversight could be corrected when they reach Egypt at Ser Val’s direction.. It was presented to her an hour later, the battered circlet of gold that Baldwin had left behind when he’d fled the field, running on the fastest horse they had on the road to Edessa. Escaping justice for his betrayal, but leaving with nothing. Will they see him when they reach Edessa?

This was a fun read and so well done!

Dante needs to discuss the issues with his arm with Alice and a doctor…he’s headed for a bad fall.. I think what makes it doubly hard for Henry, is that there isn’t anyone near his age around him…Don’t get me wrong, having multiple big brothers is all well and fine but age mates is important.. Between Mistress Carolyn and Matthew, I would think that the paperwork and financials, has to be time consuming…and the mess Blaise left behind. Frank at this point is a loaded gun, a liability that may be explosive…Alice telling him he hasn’t full access to his money, isn’t helping, considering how she referred to his mental state…is he going to listen to anyone? Tom needs to play it smart with his freedom and not be stupid…

Another gem by @chris191070!

late to the party and can’t add much other than to note his butt will be like a doorknob, everyone gets a turn….

Thanks for this, I still feel that Steven and Avery can figure out a workaround, it is what the smart folks would do… After all, there is a screaming need for the same kind of project in Seattle as well…

I would think that it would be imperative to find out if any of Balder’s “family” survived Loki’s treachery as well as understanding what Loki is up to…
