Thank you! I thought I was the only one lost. A cast of characters and a reminders of their roles would be helpful. I do not want to miss out with n the full richness of this story.

Thank the gods I did not read this in the break room at work! I went from tears when Jarren told Nash off to laughing out very loudly thanks to Liam. Great great chapter.

This story is so far from being "total shit" you'd need a passport to visit it! (No idea what that means but go with it!) This is such strong, cleanly written, and honest piece of work. And most importantly, you avoid the sticky sweet cliches that so often show up in these stories -- I literally (and yes, it was literally) gasped when you wrote that Nash lost his foot. You are an extraordinary storyteller and a fine craftsman. If you ever need to be reminded of that, please touch base and I will say it again.

Great chapter with delicious twists. A fun read! -
Love the grounding provided by the mother’s presence.

I read a lot of fiction and the sex scenes have become so predictable and, if truth be told, a bit boring. Not in this story! The scenes with Jarren and Nash totally break the mold and expectations. They are as erotic and sensual as anything I have ever come across. (Well I guess I should say no pun intended and it wasn’t but why waste a good opportunity lol) I really appreciate what you are achieving.

The only downside to this chapter is the very last word "-END-". Thank you for all the work and TLC that you put into your story. I look forward to reading more from you.

Another superb chapter!
-
Truth be told, I have become rather jaded on sex scenes in stories — that is, until now! The opening paragraphs of this chapter were fantastic!

Stick with you? Like Crazy Glue. You are a fantastic storyteller and you have my trust as a reader!

This is without reservation one of the best stories I have read on any of the sites I frequent. Having said that, I have reread the last scene trying to make sense of it in the context of the rest of the story. IMO, it just is not supported by what preceded it. There is no suggestion that Gianni has had so much to drink that he would forget himself so dangerously nor, despite his feelings for Angelo, is there any real narrative that would support him dropping his defenses in this way. I look forward to see what you do with this just as I look forward to anything else you may write in the future. I really do appreciate your craftsmanship.

Did not realize how tense I got while reading this -- yes, lancing the boil is a good title. Superb chapter.
-
This just gets better and better.

This story continues to be a delight.
-
Letters to Mom and Dad -- a smart device. And your powers of description are excellent. I am enjoying this!
-
Just started reading this today — so far, a delight. Please keep the story coming.

I really liked the underlying story (especially the "problems" paragraph) but your use of dialect came across as inauthentic. It seemed inconsistent with the vocabulary you attributed to your main character. I would love to reread this without the dialect.
-
Glad to hear Mark is okay and to restart this saga. Any chance of getting a synopsis or a cast of characters and an update on the important ones so that we can fully appreciate what is happening now?

Good to have you back and to catch up with “old friends.”

When you say that Jimbo in Hebrew refers to someone who is fearless are you deriving that from “gever” or “gibor” (JI m ro BER t) or another word? -
A Story I Was Told Last Christmas
starboardtack commented on RichEisbrouch's story chapter in A Story I Was Told Last Christmas
That last line pulled everything together so beautifully. Without it, it would have been just another story, a good one but one of many. The last line made it special.
