December 08 2021 Daniel stopped by my office again today. It’s not like it was a surprise to see him; he’s been coming by to talk to me once or twice a week since his fight with Connor. If anything, I think I’d be concerned if he didn’t come around for a meet-up for longer than a week. Things around the house have been getting better for him, like I predicted they would. The whispers died down pretty quick and he isn’t being harassed by anyone. The cynical part of me think

Thanks for the wonderful chapter. Really liking the introduction of Kai's father and his persona. The next chapter should be interesting... I wonder what Kai is going to pull? And how will the Council deal with all the evidence?

Really liked this chapter, with Deke's control of the meeting and Kraig showing some of his colours - that he is even more deserving of being an alpha mate than he could imagine. A nice good cop-bad cop act. The gentle romance (well, gentle in what we have seen anyway) between Ritch and Park is a nice counterpoint to Deke and Kraig.

Chapter 37 Many Happy Returns
Lux Apollo commented on Headstall's story chapter in Chapter 37 Many Happy Returns
No time for a deserving review, but I loved it. -
December 05 2021 It’s been four days since I broke down on Bobby in the locker room. Four days of avoiding him, avoiding thinking about it and, fuck, even avoiding my friends. I’ve made myself busy and to be honest, I’ve done a pretty good job of burying it. I don’t know why I am thinking about it now, to be honest. I’m actually proud of myself for not wasting too much energy ruminating and stewing about it. But really? I know I still have an undercurrent of it flowin

December 23, the Last Day Before
Lux Apollo commented on Lux Apollo's story chapter in December 23, the Last Day Before
I'm actually doing better this year, so far. It's been a tough year but the changes I've made in my life since the end of July are starting to bear fruit. It's easy to channel memories and feelings of the past, at times. Like most people with chronic mental illness, the holidays are a mixed bag and have been for a very long time. It's an opportunity for extremes of emotion to creep in, whether you are 'normal' or not. We all have our hurts that burden us - lost loved ones, personal dissatisfactions, yearnings. For years, there have been a few Christmas songs that can bring me to tears no matter how much I try to steel myself, and this is one of them. -
have yourself a merry little Christmas let your heart be light a plea, whispered softly into the dark from now on, our troubles will be out of sight have yourself a merry little Christmas make the Yuletide gay will medication induced happiness be enough false euphoria and love, or real today? from now on, our troubles will be miles away but the return home is troubling in itself all that distance both physical and in memory here we are as in olden days happy golden days of

D'aaawwwwww! Thanks for not letting the mess with Marc completely drag on and give us an ongoing heart attack! I like the vignette-ish vibe I have been developing as I read this story. I also like that you have a good sense of the emotions of teenagers in high school but also that you don't give in to writing melodrama like so many other authors do.

Great chapter. Trein's clearly going to be trouble - perhaps in more ways than one.

Several visits? Wow... Well, I am glad it is making people think. Thank you Parker.

I like that their telepathy isn't perfect and instantly available, that they have to work on it. Looking forward to more!

Glad you liked it. I think we needed something a little lighter but still nostalgic after last chapter. It sounds like Destiny was rather cryptic and mysterious... who knows what's in that letter, indeed! I have a feeling it may be different than what John may expect.

It's a beautiful struggle, this life and these emotions. Thanks for reading.

Envy, maybe a little. Yet, I know I'm not ready for some things yet. We are all works in progress, of course, but sometimes you know that you have a bit further to go before you can take on any other new challenges, alone and together.

Nice. I really enjoyed the choral arrangement in particular. The arranger made some really interesting choices harmonically, melodically and contrapuntally while still staying close to the chant-roots of this piece. It's one of my favourites since I was a child - it was the one piece that I can remember that they always did as chant over a bourdon.

He definitely was in a better mood, though I think that's partly because he's probably avoiding thinking about it. After all the psychotherapy he's had, he probably has some good skills to use to move past things when he needs to... if he remembers to put them to good use, that is.

December 3, 2021 I had a visitor today. After classes were finished, I was working in my office, finally getting around to marking those essays I assigned the day Bobby and I dueled. They were shit, just as I expected. A couple of the students did surprise me, though, so maybe it wasn’t a complete failure. I’m still not sure what I want to do with these grades. I was contemplating calling Emma to see what she thought when there was a knock on my door. I told them to come in
