I couldn't help wondering if Mr. Belle organized it as revenge for his court defeat.

Me too He should have kept the incriminating video and gone straight to his coach with the evidence. But I can't help wondering if Justin was hiding somewhere and filming the whole thing. It would be the perfect revenge.

Will we mess things up by following people again before the friends list updates?

This was a difficult chapter to like. I have to admit I considered the possibility of Dom attacking him in revenge, but not like this. At least we know Bobby is with Johnny. And I'm doing my best not to read ahead.

Liam bought himself some time by not telling Alek's sister he was still single. Nathan may be right about Liam being able to chose when to talk to Alek, but I think it's better for everyone involved if Liam makes a choice soon. Not to take Alek back, but about whether he can see the possibility because he still loves him. In order to do that he needs to talk to the man - but as he said -only when he feels strong enough, to avoid falling into his former lover's arms (no matter how much they both may want to). Of, course seeing Alek may also make Liam realize he cares about him as a friend and regrets what they have lost, but he's not ready to go back. Once Liam has made his choice, he can tell Nathan, Cody and Alek, and then they can start seeing each other as friends in order to test the waters. There will be plenty of challenges ahead, particularly if Alek's father turns up and starts slinging accusations at Liam. He may regret that, since Alek is probably more protective of Liam than ever. He may shrug off any insults to himself, but he'll defend Liam vigorously, as a friend or boyfriend.

I don't know how I never managed to leave a review for this chapter. Maybe because I was all about Silas and Brady finding their way back to each other. Silas may have given the band direction and purpose, but they also made a huge difference in his life, not only by the Navigator song, but by being people who liked and accepted him for himself. I think that's why he was able to slowly trust his brother. I'll always maintain this is your best story, Cynus, maybe because I admire Silas so much.

Why are your reviews so good? It's almost midnight, and I need to go to bed. I wanted to catch up before the site goes off-line for the big update, but I think the rest of my replies will have to wait.

Oh, don't feel to sorry for Rob. I think he was getting tired of Mel anyway. But it was a nasty way to have his party spoiled. Glad Mr. Perry meets with your approval. He's a clever man.

Yeah, rip the band aid off fast, right?

Yup, double teaming sounds about right.

Wow, what a review So pleased to make you I love it when you quote the chapter and make comments on how they made you feel. And now I wonder what stray thought by Nelson you were thinking off (the cake sentence got in there twice). Yay to the hair episode giving you a flashback.

Yes, Rob and Jasper will probably become closer friends, since Nelson and Eric will hopefully spend a lot of time together from now on. And they have baseball in common too.

I guessed what happened was mostly the author teasing his readers.

Glad I could make you laugh several times. Writing this chapter made me cringe a bit in sympathy for Eric, but it was a lot of fun too, with Rob being in fine form.

Yeah, Rob is the older brother we all want - even if he does get a bit too much at times. He genuinely cares about Eric. Yes, mothers do seem to know - but with a son like Rob it's difficult to avoid knowing.

Thanks - I loved your review Both boys were being brave. Eric asked Nelson to be his boyfriend, and Nelson teased Jasper dreadfully.

Yes, Rob and Jasper do have the same mindset on several matters. And they definitely agree about pushing Eric and Nelson into each other's arms.

Thank you - I'm enjoying your reviews. It's fun to revisit old chapters, and the end of this one is a favorite moment.

LadyDe, how could you not know this is a Circle of Hell story? It says so at the top of the review column. But I'm wondering if this takes place at a much earlier time than the previous stories, or the village is simply holding on to old traditions in writing etc. I liked the fact Su knew he would be bored if he had nothing to occupy his mind and his hands. He'll be useful in the record office of Hell. And of course he needs to be given eternal life by the Prince of Hell. I wonder if he'll get a gift from Nassau too?

Nice to see Travis staking his claim, and since Ben has been outed to his parents, he might as well go the full monty. He'll be so much better off not having to lie again. I love the idea of him turning up in Travis' cowboy gear. When asked, he can casually say: "This? Oh, I borrowed it from my partner."

Well, Dec sure got the scales ripped from his eyes. He should be grateful he has good friends who're willing to tell him he's behaving like an ass. So I'm assuming Chris became captain of the team at the start of the school year, or did this begin before the summer holidays? The interesting thing will be what Dec will do with his new insight. Will he only change his own behavior? Or will he try to influence his teammates? Will he eventually confront Chris on the matter? I guess it's hard to express what Chris is doing wrong. Maybe talking to the Coach or the school's sports psychologist (or motivational coach or whatever they call it) might help.

Yeah me too, I'm so glad you're back with more fae and fun. Of course, we have to deal with the scary parts, like King Creepy and quicksand floors Interesting how every one at court tried to ignore the Hollow being all adoring. Guy carrying Mitch around was funny, and I wanted to hug Riley for being so pathetically happy to have a chance to be less lonely. However, I think he would be better off staying with Mitch's gang of hunky men.

Seeing all your replies reminded me I should write a review. I had a hard time deciding how I felt about Alek. On one hand I want to applaud him for finally standing up to his father and resisting family pressure. On the other hand I want to say: WHY didn't you do this while you were still dating Liam? So much anguish could have been avoided. But I guess Alek had to lose Liam thrice before it finally dawned on him how hollow his life is without the man he loves. (OK, one of the times was almost lose, ie the car accident.)

I liked the way the demon kept insisting Su Yin was beautiful and how he appreciated Su wanting to kiss him and be with him. I have the feeling he'll find the boy naked arse up at regular intervals.

I loved the casual way Marty came out to the rest of the band, and I bet Leon loved knowing before they did. Doing the demo showed Marty was the cohesive force in the band. He even seems to have things mostly sorted out with his boyfriend. Only the parents left to deal with.
