Hey KC I realized as i read this that i have read another story where the romantic interest was a ghost...it was the black dagger brotherhood series...but anyway that's besides the point. i don't even know if Tanner is the love interest so i will digress and just tell you what i thought of the chapter. I will admit i am curious to see how you play this out. it is indeed a clever interesting way to go about things and i believe you have the ability to pull it off. you have very talented fingers my friend I love that Gibby was opening up to Tanner, and that he had the courage to tell him about the betrayal of the friend and the boyfriend. I'm curious as to why Tanner disappeared right then, but i bet you will be able to explain that next chapter. I am thinking Tanner appeared to Gibby for many reasons, one perhaps to soften the blow of Gibby learning about his death. For two there's something kindred about the two of them, i always thought they were connected somehow. So Tanner remembers seeing Gibby hmmmmm interesting piece of info. he doesn't remember Amanda hit him i suppose. I mean he didn't see her so that makes sense, he saw Ethan after the fact but still. So wow he kinda crushed on Ethan, i wondered about that so much going on Kc and still a good story to tell...i'm anxious to see where you take this until next monday!

two awesome stories and two great reviews. if you haven't read them i definitely agree you should

I just found and read this story I didn't even think about the fact that he was indeed sixteen when he wrote it, but that fact only reinforces my belief that he has a lot of talent. this story was very well written, and its an easy ready. you are immediately thrust into the world the author creates, and immediately the conflict is set up for you. Matt's inner struggle is evident and so clear cut that you can understand his conclusion at the end of the tale. Great seeing this story as the spotlight story for the weekend a certain author needs encouragement to bring us something new

i was curious so i found your story so i could read glad i did, i really like it, and i can't wait to see what you come up with next. i found myself wanting to read on to find out what matt's decision was going to be, and the inner monologue was fluid and nice. you have such a gift Mikie i'm going to be on you to write more now just fair warning

if ethan had successfully called 911 like he wanted to then tanner would have had a chance, but seeing as Amanda made him leave and god only knows how long before gibby and his dad rode by...i would say that it made sense for Tanner to be dead even if it made me sad, i am very much looking forward to what you have coming up KC. can't wait to see what that mind of yours has planned

big andy

hehe well i'm the last person to give you a hard time about killing characters so i won't do that . man this chapter was sad but i have high hopes for whats coming next. especially with what you just told me...i can't wait to see what this means and i hope that amanda and ethan pay for what they did i want to beat their brains out with a bat hmmph. ethan thought she hit the bike, i mean really i don't think he wanted to hurt tanner, that was the vibe i was getting that he more or less wanted to scare him. great stuff KC. and its awesome that your mom read and loved the story even if she wanted you to change the ending. looking forward to next monday and more gibby visions

I really like the way this is shaping up. Arranged marriage no matter the circumstances are never easy and you convey that here. Tep has his insecurities about this union that was clear from the door. no matter how attracted he is to Taz he's worried that they would be married in name only, especially since Taz is doing this for his family. I agree with Andy i hope the future for them won't be as bleak as it seams. i'm sure despite his reasons for doing this, Taz has his doubts and hopes and fears too. perfectly played cyn i really like this and can't wait to see chapter five in completion i'm going to nag you for this one now lol its so good

Great chapter. we learned a few things in it. 1. Tepin has it bad for his consort 2. he has a brother Dekki who apparently needs out of an abusive relationship (by the way i think the idea you shared with me yesterday is a good one lol do it) 3. tepin is very protective of said brother. 4. for reasons he doesn't understand Taz is drawn to Tepin even though he doesn't want to be (love that btw) he wants so badly to dislike the guy but he's drawn to him i love how that is playing out. he's not all hunky dory this is what is he's upset about the drastic shift as he shoudl be, but still curious about everything. 5. this is the third of fourth time Magic has been used hehe by Tep! so i am waiting to find out about this aspect of tepn and taz's people. 6. Tep is good with kids and Taz loves that Devlin is a cutie! and finally 7. Taz and Tep are soulmates *sigh* <3 lol love this story if you couldn't tell

I love chapters that lead to more questions even as we got some answers. Poor Tepin this has to be frustrating for him. He had to come to get his consort only to learn he doesn't know everything he should know. and poor Taz. talk about world turned upside down then spun around enough to make you dizzy. His anger at his parents was understandable, though I'm glad he realizes they didn't mean to deceive him they just really did what they thought was best. I'm curious about the horses comment that Stephen went with. Taz saw something off there, and then Bethany ends the conversation hmmmm more then meets the eye there i say. So it was Taz's father who proposed the marriage of their kingdoms in exchange for Charlie being imprisoned on neper. such an intriguing story i'm greatly enjoying it.

awwww David and Christian's night out very nicely done chica from beginning to end. What i think is really great is that Chris was determined to do something nice for David, and he wanted to be there for him because he was proud of him, and then we find out he didn't even like coming to these dinners hehe. And Christian's jealous nature coming out, that was well played. That's the beauty of it...Chris may not remember completely the past six years he spent married to this man, but he's still the same guy who did fall for David so it's nice to see those sides of him naturally come out so to speak. The concert was an awesome surprise, and i love the small intimate moments, it Chris wasn't certain how David felt before he's gotta know after this night and i bet that's still a little overwhelming for him. so no sexytimes but it will happen when it is meant to Brava kim another great chapter. can't wait to see what you're cooking up next

I knew i would like this Cyn i'm excited for this story lol can't believe i never read it before today but i'm going to rectify that this morning. this first chapter was the perfect hook. you meet Taz, get a sense of who he is and a gander at his relationship with the best friend, and then boom the world turns upside down. Just enough to warrant a reading of chapter two I didn't want to move on without giving you a review. Now i must read chapter two to see what happens next. Tepin sounds gorgeous bty

Well Sarah unsurprisingly reacted the way i expected. figured she'd be the opposite of Michelle but goodness i didn't expect her to be that crazy about it oy. she makes sami brady from days of our lives seem tame in comparison. In anycase I'm glad Bill was there for all four boys and gave them the support they needed. I'm feeling wary of this place the boys want to go so i am going to keep my eyes open for that. and i did catch the song titles they make me go hmmmm. glad the boys are happy and in love despite what they are about to face.

hehe i feel like i just ran a marathon nice long chapter packed with events and info. how sweet they are one now, can't wait to see whats in store for kyle and Jacob. I also like Kyle's relationship with his mother glad he's so close to her. she gave him a condom *laughs* that made me giggle. Didn't see anything that would make me angry though.... i like that matthew and nicholas seem to be alright as well, i will be looking to see more of that as the story progresses. I haven't quite figured out if Matthew secretly lusts for his brother, or he is just that innocent and loves his brother that much. either way those scenes were intense, and i'm glad Jacob had the sense to know that it shouldn't happen or happen again. i wonder though if they will stick to that belief. guess time will tell. Ii like the dynamic there. can't wait to see where things go from here

That's awesome news KC way to go!

Don't worry KC you're safe lol. sorry you've had a bad few days hope things are better and you can get back to writing. such a glorious story it will be worth the wait though it always is )

Chapter 6 of embracing love is now up. you can read it here https://www.gayauthors.org/forums/story/fleetingrainbows/embracinglove/6

jacob and kyle and nicholas and Matthew can't wait to see where this goes Andrew. I'm liking this a lot just so you know. The dreams were done well, i figured somehow they were the same dream or close but its cool how you worked that.. Kyle seems so much happier when he's with Jacob its like he feels complete and vice versa. wow what happened in his past, i'm really curious about that. his mom seems really angry at his father...can't wait to learn more.

wow lots happening in Chapter 2. Male bonding always nice. it was definitely cool seeing that Matthew isn't just the bratty little brother. I liked when they both simultaneously told kyle he couldn't leave, as if they realized something was off. you're really good at mounting the tension and the suspense here Andrew. I'm intrigued by the end too and what you imply. can't wait to see what more is in store for these three boys. btw the descript of the drawling was amazing

skittish jacob is cute nice first chapter Andrew. I think you completely captured the mind of the nervous fourteen year old with his first crush. I will be honest, at first i wondered if the chapter was overcrowded with description, but as i read further i realized that was purposeful and effective good job. can't wait to read chapter 2 and see how the afternoon pans out for Jacob and Kyle. by the way loved some of the metaphors you used hot knife through butter hee.

Sending good thoughts your way. get better soon brian

I think this is single handedly one of my favorite stories on GA so much going on and the characters are so intriguing. Well done KC! I'm anxious to learn Tanner's fate and who finds him and all that stuff. Amanda is definitely insane, and i wonder what did she hope to accomplish by hurting tanner ? he can't exactly do her bidding if he's hospitalized and such lol. don't thinks he thought that far ahead

I'm going to be pulling out my hair waiting for next monday! you don't play when you do a cliff hanger do you KC. Amanda has lost her mind. not sure what's more disturbing, the fact that she stole the gun from her father with the intent to use it, or the fact that Ethan is so incapable of forming his own thoughts and is so easily manipulated that he would want to bodily harm someone because of jealousy.; On the flipside loved Gibby thinking about Tanner and the small little moments between them in class and such. And Poor Tanner! i hope somehow gibby finds him and helps save his life *nods* yes that would be nice. oy anyway great chapter can't wait to see what happens next

Yes please

This chapter made me smile. Watching Christian out with his best friend and the "little monsters" or "Devils" lol Taggart's love for those children is very apparent despite the names he chooses to use hehe. A favorite Line; "Let’s go find your dad a suit before I eat you.” Vice versa you can tell the kids adore him too and don't really pay his little comments any mind lol gotta love the dynamic. On the Flipside Christian got hit with a lot of info didn't he ? Good thing he has Tag to help talk him through. Loved Tag being annoyed at the waiter who was flirting with him too lol This was a perfect build up to the date. Christian and David both looking gorgeous and ready for a night out. The little monsters safe with their godfathers lol . Ethan holding the pizza slice that was almost as big as him is too cute. Tag swiping Jimmy's pizza even cuter! looking forward to the date. great chapter chica
