If Frystie dies, he'll be at peace. Leo can leave Amy and he and Mort can go somewhere else and find a good school for Mort, like the one where Sebastian teaches.

Or perhaps you could extend the deadline, Renee ?

It's a shame Richard took the step from being a friend to being a boyfriend back when he first asked Drake out. I think he confused bromance and being horny with romantic love for Drake. I've read several stories where it's gay men doing the same with women, but at least they have the pressure of society and family expectations to excuse them. Richard should have kept his dick to himself, but failing that he should have listened to the counselor and brought Drake with him. She could then have suggested someone for Drake to talk to who could help him deal with the devastating issues from their break-up. I sincerely hope Jimmy is supportive of Drake when he hears the story, especially if Drake decides to keep to minimal contact or no contact with Richard.

It's quite easy. Look at your post. Next to the Quote button in the bottom left hand corner, there is an Edit button. Click on that. Your comment will open in edit mode. Remove extra lines above and below comment. Press Save (blue button in lower right hand corner). Voila - your comment is edited.

Uhm, could you perhaps edit your comment and get rid of all those extra lines ? It's a bit annoying to have to scroll past all the empty space. I think Richard kissed Drake because he wanted to be sure he didn't feel sexually attracted to him any more. He also asked Drake about his feelings because it would be easier for him if Drake didn't love him anymore. It still means he's a selfish bastard. He should have stayed friends with Drake instead of asking him out. He confused bromance with romance, and I guess he was also a horny teen. But if he had been less confused they could have been best friends forever, and Drake would have dated Jimmy without all those trust issues getting in the way. But perhaps Drake wouldn't have moved away and met JD if he wasn't running away from Richard ? Anyway, I guess Richard is the reverse of Jimmy who slept with a woman friend but realized he would end up with a man. Let's hope Victoria wasn't in love with him and got her heart broken too, but since they're still friends Jimmy must have been more honest than Richard.

I know why I never commented on this sweet chapter. It was to avoid acknowledging this was the end of the story. I love the Dallas / Damian dynamic and I very much want to read more about them. I hope they start talking in your head again, since I know that's how it works for you.

I really hope Pax remembers to visit Eli old pack and give them a piece of his mind before they drive any Omegas insane. He should threaten them with Khonshu's wrath if they don't mend their stupid ways. Keeping Eli out of the moon was evil ignorance.

Me too - to all your comments. If anyone wants to read more of podga's stories apart from his wonderful short story All That Matters, please send me a PM and I'll give you a link.

if you need more of that I can also recommend my short story Making Sense. And of course you get a response. All comments I get are treasured and replied to.

Thank you, daemok such a wonderful surprise to get a nice long comment. In return I'm happy to tell you there is no other shoe. or at least not any truly sad / bad stuff. Michael does cause his dad to worry, but no more than he has all his life. And there is various other 'undreamy' stuff happening, but I think you can relax and enjoy the story.

You spelled his name right. In Denmark we always call him H.C. Andersen, and many don't know his first names. The bisexuality theory and whether the small marks in his diary denoted masturbation are much discussed topics in Denmark. The fact he liked boys too even got it's own SATW comic: https://satwcomic.com/costume-party I'm trying to come up with my own fun fact about a favorite author and will return when I succeed. Great topic, Cia.

The waiter was and solved the problem firmly. Stupid people should be shown the error of their ways or shunned.

I'm glad Mitch decided to call Tony on his unconscious bigotry. He needs to reexamine his behavior, and since he's intelligent he'll get there eventually, if Mitch keeps prodding him.

Getting his Master's degree is a good idea, as long as he enjoys it.

If you only see the cathedral at tye Vatican it's no problem doing Trevi and Colosseum on the same day, and with a moped the Spanish steps too. But Rome needs at least a week to get all the most interesting places, so coming back is a good idea.

Victor likes a challenge and he'll enjoy wooing Shael until that last barrier falls. I'm guessing it will take a declaration of love and a marriage proposal. But they can have lots of fun in the meantime with the feeding and stuff.

No time to get bored or anxious while they're waiting for their mates to come back. I'm glad they gave Nolan a wonderful sex and love experience, he needed that.

They are still trying to find the balance in their relationship, but the mutual flares of jealousy seem to indicate they're both equally involved emotionally. Greg may not have said 'I love you' but he has committed himself to being with Chris for the rest of his life if what he said in previous chapters is true. And somehow, I cannot see Greg not being serious on this matter, no matter what other faults he may have.

I loved that observation too, and I agree with your evaluation of the writing.

Great advice - since I hate writing, and reading, detailed descriptions of characters.

I had exactly the same thought ! Great minds think alike.

The story reminds me of Pirates of the Caribbean, but the reason they didn't eat was a little more sinister. Great 'coming out' story.

LOL, no - or at least I don't think so. But they've worked out how to send emails and search for information.

Jimmy is a good guy, but I'm not feeling sorry for him. He has made the decision to pursue a relationship with Drake even though he knows it's uphill. I think he should have stayed for the talk with Richard, so he could point out when Drake stopped listening. I can't help wondering whether Richard was always thinking of Bernadette when he talked about the future and having children, but Drake simply heard what he wanted to hear. I think Drake is broken and he's at fault for not dealing with his issues when he freaked out about Jimmy having had casual sex with women. But I don't see him as a bad guy and he is trying to be honest about how he feels. Ii seems as if he hasn't had a best friend who wasn't also a lover, so when his world fell apart, he did not have anywhere to turn or anyone to talk to. His ability to trust people was destroyed by his parents and Richard, and his self-worth was trashed by Preston. He may not ever work his way out of this quagmire, and he'll lose more than Jimmy, who'll eventually find someone else to love. Closure - yeah, I'm not keen on that idea either. But telling Richard how he destroyed someone who loved him, and thus make him feel guilty, sounds like justifiable karma.

I hope Jarek wiped his finger prints off the phone, and that they didn't have time to track the call.
