Malik is going to heal at his own pace. But it's nice to see that everyone is so invested in their relationship. Pardon my typo. Tailiese it is, then. You posted this on Wednesday night at 9:23 P.M. EST. Nice try though. Thanks for reading and commenting!

It's good progress on both sides and good to see finally. Thanks for reading and commenting!

Rhaelce's betrayal was a deep wound for Malik, so it's not going to heal over night. While it's frustrating to see them still at odds with each other, they are trying. But if their behavior seems childish, it's because they are still young, and still figuring things out. But they'll get there. Thanks for reading and commenting!

It won't be easy, that's for sure. Thanks for reading and commenting!

I would be optimistic. The writer likes it when her characters kiss. Thanks for reading and commenting.

The communication issue is a monster of mu own making. When I started writing Hazardous, I wanted to work on world building. But I'm also a fan of a show during my high school days called Buffy: The Vampire Slayer. (It still fucking rules). The creator read a response that the show's success was due to its dialogue. So he made an episode that had nearly no dialogue in it (17 minutes of dialogue in a 44 minute episode). It was called Hush, and nominated for an Emmy. I'm no Joss Whedon, but I think (justifiably or not) that my dialogue is pretty good. So I decided to do something along the same lines when I wrote Hazardous and gave each major character a different native language, thinking I would have to work outside of dialogue for communication. I thought wrong. All I did was manage to come up with every conceivable loophole I could possibly think of to make sure I could continue to make characters talk to each other. But by the time I realized that it was a bad call, I was in too deep. So here we go. And nobody trusts the bat. Thanks for reading and commenting.

Malik walked down the dusty path with Aleela. She carried her pack, her crossbow and Shuza’s instruments. Malik had his pack on his back, and Rhaelce’s across his chest, the straps heavy on his shoulders. He held his and Rhaelce’s staffs, one in each hand. Rhaelce had worn his crossbow and Shuza his sword, so each would have a weapon on hand to provide cover and protection while the other carried Chihiro to safety. Malik didn’t like the idea of not being with them as an extra precaution, but wi

This is a fantastic story and I'm so excited to see it on the site. Also, @Thirdly, if you're gonna spank Orion, I at least want to watch.

Does someone have a crush on Chihiro? (Can't blame ya if you do honestly). Thanks for reading and commenting.

The nightmare reveals a lot. Like the majority of my characters, Malik is bisexual, but his infatuation with Salma and general distrust of other people in general kept him from exploring other avenues until now. And guilt keeps it's claws hooked in deep, too deep for rational thought. They have to help each other through it. Thank you for reading and commenting!

Malik is a mess. Thats why I like him. Also I don't know where you got that gif, but I want it.

Adding new characters to the group was a lot of fun, even if they're acting a little ridiculous right now. There's some interesting times waiting for them up north. Thanks for reading and commenting!

Some of it seems to be moving south. We had some warnings about air quality here and one day, I had trouble seeing the mountains and my eyes started to burn whenever I was outside. If it was that bad down here, I can't imagine how much worse it was up north.

I think this might be the first time I've seen someone excited about a Monday. After a vacation, no less.

On paper, back together. In the way that most of my readers want, not yet. Thanks for reading and commenting!

I think Malik will like six better than five. Thanks for reading and commenting!

There's a lot of emotions at play this chapter. Rhaelce is determined to make things right again and he has his work cut out for him. Thanks for reading and commenting.

Yes, Rhaelce spent weeks creeping on the group. Malik and Rhaelce definitely have some work to do if they want to rebuilt what they had. Thanks you for reading and commenting!

I think a lot of people are glad to have them back, even if they don't want to admit it. Thank you for reading and commenting!

An uneasy alliance at the moment. Rhaelce will have some work to do before Malik will want daily blowjobs. I'm glad you are enjoying the story and thanks for commenting!

Malik and Chihiro sat next to each other with their legs crossed. “Stop!” they both said, holding both hands out in front of them. They had already taught their respective counterparts the words (zwit for Shuza and hvut for Rhaelce) and had relayed it to Aleela. “Stop!” they said again. Aleela held her hands up in imitation. “Stop!” she said, very clearly. Rhaelce held his hands up. “Stop!” Shuza held his up. “Step!”

I've gone camping once. Some of my coworkers like to camp, but I don't see the appeal. I work very hard to make sure i can pay for my house so I don't need to sleep outside.

While the bantering/flirting/teasing is fun, I like how it's softened by sweeter moments too. It adds some nice depth to their story.

Hell yeah.

"For one, that was made at the official tailor for the Gators,” Five said excitedly. “And I’m proud of my school." it sounds like Five goes to University of Florida, home of the Gators. If he was from Florida State, I might like him a little better. Still like Ethan a lot though.
