I was worried when I saw the name of this chapter, worried about more deaths, -but they didn't happen, and now the anticipation is even worse. Worse than a cliffhanger!

Well, at least Claude finally gets a hat! I'm curious to find out what else. -And to meet this Sabrine character.

A brutal tale, beautiful in it's honesty. And yes, it is the world we live in. Thank you.

Sexy. ...and what nerve you have to leaving things on the edge like that!

The third kiss was the charm. So now they're in it together, whatever comes. I like the mystery.

Pasha gets busted by an Angel. This makes me think of the movie Barbarella. I had a crush on Pygar.

I'm re-reading this story. Starting over, I want to say that I really like this first chapter, how it grabs you and pulls you in. Ho-hum, just riding in a car in the booring countryside, and WHAM!

It is so nice to read a new chapter of this story. Jordan's sensitivity is as appealing as ever, as he goes from one scene to the next. I love the way you put his observations into every little moment, like when he hardly recognizes his own smiling face in the mirror. Little details like that make this story a joy to read.

I feel a perfect storm brewing on the horizon, headed right at the Atlantis. Here's Rachel and the Kookaburra, Moorcroft ready to drop his bomb, Bridget unaccounted for,-never a good thing, and Gray looming up in the hills... At least Shane has some good allies. He'll need them. The Crocs are waiting. So am I.

Woe is such a dismal state. Surely there must be a better option. Claude, Serge, ...Nobody's happy. Certainly not even La Dona! But she never will be.

No, I didn't think you'd really kill Mira, and I'm glad you didn't. He is Mira, after all! He and Shay are a unit, and one that will prevail. This chapter is a remarkable capture of single-minded perseverence. Bravo SuperMira!

Splendid images in an unsavory place. Claude is a Scarlet Angel. He's the diamond in the gutter, -almost... More porridge, please ....

I'm happy to see Ogre's back, but I was impressed and surprised at the new dynamic. It was by no means a Grudge F-. ...Well, just maybe with just a little grin, or snarl. I think Eric would be envious if he knew. Or does he?

I have a soft spot for fairy tales and parables. Magda of Gavadia, she got back what she gave, and therefore all's well in the kingdom. Thanks for the romp through the castle, -spiders, bats and snakes.

Will Claude yield to temptation and perdition? It seems likely, considering his few options. ..And just who is this Sabrine person?

I started reading this story in late July, and am now caught up to the current chapter. It seems that all parties have their own plans, and I wonder how the publication of Bridget's asset list by Kent Moorcroft will affect the situation. If Bridget sees that some of her dear late husband's information has surfaced, maybe she'll lose a bit of that legendary calm and make a mistake? -and don't you dare stop writing!

A shock! Now we wait for more of the unexpected, no doubt it will be just that.

I couldn't hate you, I hate having to wait to find out what surprise you have coming up. I don't imagine that it will disappoint.

And they're off! I love the trio & Sonic more with each chapter. And now on to Earth in a comet! I hope this fools K74. What if it doesn't?

This seems to be a decisive chapter. The problems are all set out before us as challenges or obstacles to overcome. I enjoyed the romantic dinner scene. I'm surprised that Lily is afraid of Alexi's ill-named mother. Allegra! -HA! She sounds like a distrustful, controlling tyrant. Alexi will need to set up some boundaries, he isn't a child anymore. Will he be strong enough to ditch Adrian , and the family obligations? All that dead weight that stifles him. Is he up for the challenge?

New love can be such a bitch. We have a fine example of that here, with all the conflicting emotions and insecurities laid out in vivid detail. Then the bitter reality hits hard, and there's nobody to talk to about it. Poor LM. What agony!

It seems the mysterious stranger enjoys a challenge. But is Claude equal to Guy's challenge? He'll need to sweeten the deal, -at least he does have Claude's attention.

What an interesting style you write in. I actually like the writing, but I'm lost in all the names, and am confused about who's who. I need more information. I like our hero's attitude, he finally becomes a sympathetic character the end, and cries, something he does not do often do, I imagine. It's saddest to me when the tough, resiliant ones break down.

A good chapter. Poor Min, comfined and restricted by his circumstances and the requisite obligations, and now losing his supportive and only real friends. It's a lonely prospect, and hard at his age, especially while watching his friends each making big changes in their own lives. And left with only Young Jae to keep him company. What dismal prospects he faces. He does seem to be adept at escaping though, -so there's hope...

Yes, it's love. Also really hot sex, -one of the best sex scenes I've read. I often just skim over those, and this one was brilliant. The risk element figures into the whole thing too, but I suppose that happens all the time in all sorts of affairs. This is beccoming a bit more than an affair, and there's the beauty of it: these two are so good for each other, and it's going to be a fight to have their love thrive when pitted against the accepted roles and stereotypes imposed by the straight football jock establishment, which is probably the most strict of them all. I don't see any problem with Eric though. I don't think he'd care. He's such a good-hearted person. It's comical how they are worried about him finding out. He likely has it all figured out, becase he's not a stupid jock stereotype either. I really like this story.
