I'm out of likes for the day, but this is crazy good. From the beginning with Shay's illness to the end of Ch 1 with the boy, I am totally hooked. So many questions!

Part Two: Trial and Error Tibial sobbed himself into a sluggish exhaustion after his father had left. He had shamed his father, his entire family and for what? A man. A man he loved deeply, madly, unnaturally, and one he didn't even know if he would be able to see again. Now Tibial was awake and curled up on his cot, his father's socks on his feet. A guard had come by shortly after Tibial's father had left to give him a late day meal and Tibial was again struck by how slow everything seemed

Thank you, I'm glad you are enjoying the story. Hope you enjoy the next chapter.

Which one to pick? It's a hard choice. Thanks for the comment

No flukes, I'm afraid. Answers to some of your questions in the next several chapters, even though I am not sure you will like the answers Thanks for reading and reviewing!

Happy Birthday Renee!

Yes it was. Read on to see what happened next! Thanks for the review!

I hope this was soon enough and that you still have your sanity And I do love my cliffhangers, so be prepared to see them every once and a while I'm glad you are enjoying the story and that you look forward to the next chapters Thanks for the review!

Yes. I. Am. And don't you forget, especially if you're thinking about booing at me. Terrasa does seem a popular suspect, as does Mia. Thanks for the review. Hope you enjoy the next chapter

It got messy pretty fast and the mystery will be answered soon Thanks for the review, hope you like the next chapter!

Things get worse before they get better. Thanks for reviewing, hope you like the next chapter!

*** Tibial sat shivering in the empty room even though it was hot and muggy inside. He had bitten his fingernails down far enough to draw blood and had been sitting inside this room for the last hour. He was wearing his jeans and shirt, but they hadn't brought him any shoes, to prevent him from running he supposed. He knew perfectly well what was going on. Somehow people knew, somehow it had been found out and now... Tibial swallowed, felt tears pricking at his eyes and held them

Mind if I climb down there and join you?

Along with the topic of prayer, sometimes it is as much for the person praying as it is the person that is being prayed for. If someone I love is millions of miles away, or if there is some reason that I cannot see them, it can be very frustrating and makes me feel helpless. Prayer, or putting forth positive energy, is a way of overcoming those obstacles. I don't have the sources, but I do seem to remember reading some research that suggested that patients who had people praying for them tended to have a faster recovery with less complications. If it gives you comfort, then do it, if not, then don't. It does no harm and each person has their different ways.

It's not a bad looking building, but it looks like it is in the wrong place. It doesn't match the structures around it. It would look fine in NYC or Chicago amongst other skyscrapers, but sitting there alone it just looks odd and out of place.

I don't want to be in the pit. Not unless it is filled with pillows and blankets. Or hot naked people. .... What was I talking about again? So I am doing better now that I am back at work. It does really well at keeping my mind off of stuff. The downfall to last week was that I had a holiday off of work and I had too much time to sit around and think about stuff. Good luck with the finances. I doubt I would handle it much better than you would. I can't handle math OR paperwork...it would be hell for me. Yettie: Huge hugs to you. You don't know how much you have helped me out.

I am currently reading Game of Thrones, which is first of the Fire & Ice series. Definitely not in the "charming prince and slays dragons" class. I'm hooked on it. It was a little confusing at first because there are a lot of characters and quite a bit of intrigue and betrayals and plotting and all that good stuff. I highly recommend it. The other fantasy books I like are the NightRunner series and the Tamir Triad by Lynn Flewelling, but they are a little softer than what you have described liking to read.

It's been a rough week. Hell, it's been a rough year. I don't know how much more I can take right now. I miss Nathan like crazy. I cried for hours when I found out he was gone. I went to the fair Wednesday night with my sister to try to take my mind off things, but that only halfway worked. They had a fireworks display and all I could think about was that Nathan might have liked them and then I realized all the things that Nathan would never get to experience. I almost burst into tears there, but I didn't want to embarrass my sister by turning into a weepy mess. I've been worried sick about Roan. We finally have some good news on that front, but the thought of losing him too was nearly unbearable. I feel worn down and exhausted. Every time I try to pull shit together and move forward, it seems like something just knocks me back on my ass. I am ready for 2012 to be over and done with.

They are powerful lines, I agree. Their love is very strong and they'll need to depend on it. I'm glad you are enjoying the story and I hope you enjoy the next chapter. Thank you so much for reviewing and letting me know what you think!

Thank you for reviewing! I'm glad you are enjoying the story and the characters. I want Tibial and Chad to be together with a happy ending too, but they will have a lot to face before they get there. I hope you enjoy the next chapter!

They are definitely taking chances, because the consequences if they are discovered are very severe. But their feelings are too strong to resist, so they are going to take the risk I'm glad you liked the way I wrote the chapter, it is one of my favorites. Thank you for reviewing and I hope you enjoy the next chapter.

Tibial groaned and wound his arms around Chad’s neck as Chad pounded into him, pressing him up against the wall with each thrust. Tibial moaned Chad’s name over and over in his ear, finally climaxing with a long drawn out cry, everything tightening and burning for a long shivering moment, then he fell limp against Chad’s body. Chad lowered him slowly to the ground, cradling Tibial gently in his lap. "You okay?" Chad asked, his voice torn between amusement and genuine concern. "Mmm. Yeah." Tib

The same people do a series called Kids React as well. Kids React was the original, and this is a spin off of that. Both are pretty awesome, in my opinion.

Blame GM for eliminating electric railways and streetcars in favor of the automobile.
