Hi @Lacuna , @Cia Will help you out with the system. So sorry for your experience with it.

So glad you love it! Thank you. It was interesting moving from one emotion to the next. Thanks, Onim! Lisa, thank you so much. Reed's thought process at the start was utterly tragic, like being out in the woods lost. I freak out sometimes on issues, and his thought process can be mine too, so I love that you get that! Kristos is goals! So sad about your friend. I get it, love can also turn to poison. It would be interesting to explore Reed meeting Kristos's family. What a day that would be. Thanks for reading.

There was nothing spectacular about their first meeting. Nothing earth-shattering, in fact it was all so very ordinary, it made Reed feel unremarkable. Who wanted to admit they met the love of their life reaching for the same box of cereal? One box of bran flakes with raisins led to him falling head over heels for a man with smiling eyes and the sexiest mouth ever created. He had stared too long…he always stared too long at Kristos. It was impossible not to, so fucking impossible. A man li

Reed and Kristos have a fight, and Reed is worried that they might lose their perfect life. A snapshot glance into an ordinary relationship, with extraordinary moments.

Happy Birthday to you!!!

Chapter 5: The Hidden Investigation Team I – An Interesting Search Scratching his day-old beard, Andre shifted on the bench at the police station, and watched Luc talk to a police officer. They were working on the premise that if Sakura were missing as Seiren said, her caretaker would have filed a missing person’s report. It was a guess, based on…the natural order of events if this were a normal case. Andre frowned. There was the chance that because Sakura’s mother was a hook

Zia Sayu stood on a sand dune, a hundred miles into Dwind staring at a cloud of dust rapidly moving toward the border. She gripped her left arm, hoping to ease the numbness on her upper arm. Her ordeal to reach Lady Tinya Hellis had left her with two wounds, one on her left arm, and a cut on her neck. She turned around to the border, and the sea of blue armor soothed her anger toward Terra’s guard. A tall man in full armor hurried up the sand dude to stand beside her. She returned her g

Chapter 4: A Case About a Missing Girl Appears I - A Withering Sakura Tree Whispers filled Koji’s thoughts. Stories not his, ideas full of hope, some worry, others decisive. Closing his eyes, he took in a deep breath and closed the path in his head. Calm filled him, an immediate relief. It was six in the morning. The sun rising in the horizon. A soft mist hovered over the Sukiyama Estate. Each breath he took fresh and invigorating, renewing his energy. Occasionally, birds chi

Thank you too for reading!

Chapter 3: the Family Name carries Weight I - A Little Brother “Why do you always stare at this painting?” Andre Lacome stared at the canvas on the wall, captivated by the depiction of a woman stoking a charcoal stove. A modern house loomed behind her. She sat on a small stool, holding a fan, a red cloth tying her silky black hair back. A soft sheen of sweat coated her forehead, wisps of her hair clinging to her skin. The pot on the charcoal stove boiling away. She was smiling, he

Happy Birthday to you!! May Good Tides follow you through your new year!

Happy Belated Birthday, Caz!!! I hope it was a beautiful day.

Thanks, getting along with this story. Raphael and Hyun are like sweet candy, can't stop eating it even though its bad for my teeth...lolz.

A small buzz on his wrist, drew Raphael’s attention from the hotel manager to his watch. The screen was a shade of red, the countdown at four minutes and dropping. Taking his phone out of his pocket, he accessed the video feed from Hyun. The number of red dots heading toward Himura and Hyun was alarming. Four minutes, Raphael hoped his luck still held. Gripping his phone tight, Raphael smiled at the manager. “Mr. Nesbitt, why don’t I save us from a torturous evening of you try

Wah!!! I think I might have removed this cake out of the oven too soon. Seiryu Spirit is still developing slowly hence the 12 years issues...jeez. All sorted out now...let's go together, as I muddle along...

Chapter 12 Midori leaned his elbow on the wooden table mounted under a tree, and watched Yoshi peel peaches. He cut them into pieces, and took a small piece, holding it to Midori’s mouth with a small smile. Midori took the offering, the sweet taste teasing his senses. He could live this way forever. Yoshi looked happy peeling peaches and slicing them into pieces. His white robes light to counter the heat of Dwind. With each hour the sun lowered, eating up the little time they had

Chapter 2 - The Present – Elusive Peace and Quiet Twelve Years Later I - Sweet Taste of Escape The world was a cluttered, noisy, massive weapon, constant, and unrelenting. Filling his mind, brain, and thoughts, he craved silence and loved absolute quiet. Or in exchange…a constant loud noise that drove away everything else. Koji stood still in the middle of a dance floor at the G Club in Osaka, eyes closed as the music pulsed around him. Loud, driving…sending a delicious

“Watching you is getting painful.” Raphael opened one eye to look at his twin. Gabriel sat, perched on the porch rail, his hair flowing around him. The sun was high, the weather warm. This little hideaway off the Malaysian Coast was akin to paradise. He could stay here forever and forget his obligations. He and Gabriel had loved bringing Talin here to escape winter. “What could be painful about enjoying the sun?” Raphael mused, closing his eyes, enjoying the warmth of the sun

Chapter One - The Past – The Sukiyama Barrier I – His Brother’s Shock Rain fell in sheets. The night was darker than black. Alarms blared through the five-acre Sukiyama Estate. Constant, and deafening enough to make his brain hurt. None of it stopped Tama Sukiyama. At fifteen years old, Tama’s determination was stronger than most. He could move a mountain if he wished it. On this night, he cut across the Northwestern lawn, running to the unsettling bamboo forest on the outskirts

Destiny leads a pair to their fate, no matter the obstacles, they find themselves on the same path. Koji Sukiyama meets Andre Lacome in the most unexpected of places, and their love sparks to life with a single glance.

Months after finishing this, I feel I have to confess that this story is based off someone's actual life. A choice my brother's friend made with an ending close to this though theirs is more beautiful than I could render. The period of silence was more difficult than can be explained, but when we talked with him, he said that seeing his "Shin" after so long pushed the loneliness so far away that it seemed like yesterday when they parted. On the character Shin's explanation, hmm... I always find this really hard to express. Since the US has made such great strides with gay marriage, influencing most Western countries and the rest of the world. However, there are those societies that are still struggling. So, Shin's reality, with his father laying down the law like he did, it would affect him economically, socially, and he would need to work to get out of his father's shadow and live his own life. Our Asian culture has such a deep reverence for family ties, that when they exist and are deep, it is hard to say 'You know what, fuck this, I'm gonna do what I want." It is very challenging, and torturous, that it's easier to hide the truth, or live as Shin did until he could go his own way. Even Miki couldn't outright tell his parents about the nature of his relationship with Shin either, this is part of the reason why he understood Shin's position. No one wants to be responsible for their father falling dead...That was the viewpoint I wrote this story at. The real Shin's need to protect his family, even though it meant giving up Miki for a period of time, until he could do more to protect his love. His love was portrayed in the work he put forth to make Hayashin come to be, and make a home for them. I struggled with wanting to change this, as everyone always wonders, how could they live years without having a conversation with this person they love? I had doubts too, but the true side of this story, didn't allow for me to do much for this story. The owner of the name Shin says, 'The years disappear when I see him, he's mine,am his, so even apart, of course we're together. Don't change it, as those years apart were important to our bond now.' Well, you're lucky as I never make real explanations for my stories and you get a whole chapter. Thank you for reading through my work, I'm so excited because of you.
