Even having no idea of the background, this tale worked beautifully. I felt very sorry for Keith and quite with everyone around him. None of them, including his husband, made much effort to find out what he needed in terms of food or comfort or occupation. I'm not surprised he ignored and disliked all of them, and his selfcontrol was amazing, in how he didn't attack any of the idiots who insulted him. But at least Shiro didn't give up, and they finally found common ground and love.

If t hadn't been for the mention of cell phones, tablet and chat rooms, I would have thought this story took place in the past. But I guess there a still plenty of people who have to hide what they are from a hostile world. I was a bit confused about the cousin Rich ploy. Was his boss the real cousin and he took over the identity ? If so, that was a deceit which might backfire.

While some of the people in Billy's life might have deserved punishment, surely the lesbian school principal and the wrongly accused father had done nothing wrong towards Billy (except not preventing Alice from being a bully). But I guess they didn't die, and neither did his mum, because that was not to Billy's advantage. But to me it still points to the possibility that the magpie caught Billy with revenge unasked for and cemented his hold by making sure no rival to his mother's attention was born. After that the magpie made mischief as it wanted, and Billy suspects nothing. One wonders what will happen during the rest of his life. I loved the idea of using a nursery rhyme as background for the tale.

For me the best part is the way they listened to their son and didn't brush off his knowledge or tell him to stop talking about it. I bet the policeman had a hard time writing his report. Great story, Val.

Not necessarily, Tristan could have seen Peter when he came down for breakfast.

Oh, there are several people here who have that kind of weirdness. I like same digit numbers (am waiting to celebrate page 2222), but I'll also notice page 1964 (my birthyear).

As usual I have no idea, so I'm gonna support Val's guess.

Sawyer sure doesn't pull his punches.

Yeah, that's one of my absolute favorites.

Hmmm, Peter already said he made mistakes, so I assume he's going to try to make Tristan forgive him. That might be good for Tristan too, if it helps him move on. But there had better be a VERY good explanation for his betrayal, an EPIC apology, and some true tales of six years of suffering, before Tristan even considers taking him back.

It was fun to see the raccoons at first, but then I started wondering if the guy did this often, and that could be why there were so many raccoons. This overpopulation might be bad for the local environment.

Yeah, they get a lot of money from Denmark and spend it on roads and tunnels. In fact the first SATW comic showing Færøerne mentions this. https://satwcomic.com/the-faroes

No, there are several possible interpretations. Just go with the one that works for you.

I'm starting a new post for Gap Year, as I think there will be plenty to do. I'll make the names from Gap Year purple. I'm going to assume Will and Kai didn't have new kinds of sex, ie that Will didn't fuck Kai. Will gave ORAL to Drew, Gathan, John, (Gustave), Berto, (Tony), Ryan, (Tyler the cab driver), Jeff, Kristoffer, Shane, (Patrick), John Carullo, Alistair, Paolo, Kyle, Vic the Masseur, (Trevor & Hayden), Jake, Mason, Steve the realtor, Kai, Ethan’s friend Joe, Zach, (Buzz Dalby), Dallas, Patrick Christian, (Colin), Chris, (Tom) Will received ORAL from Drew, cousin John, Gathan, Gustave the kidnapper in Paris, Berto, (David), Jeff, (Mike skater), Shane, Cary the clerk in San Fran store, (Trevor), (Mason), Kai, (Malcolm), Alex, (Colin) Will had intercourse with (giving): Gustave, Berto, Raine, David the ice dancer, Jason the Tech guy, Jeff, Hayden, Mason, Malcolm, Marie, Zach, Carullo, Toby, Alex, Colin, Conway, guy in shop Will had intercourse with (receiving): Berto, Tony, Ryan, Tyler the cab driver, John, Jeff, Patrick from party, Gathan, Kyle, Trevor, Chicago night club guy, Carmine, Kai, Erik, John Carullo, Zach, Pedro, Devon, Toby, Buzz Dalby, Patrick Christian, Ramon, Colin, Conway Other sex: Bar twink (rubbing against him with Will coming in his pants) Dallas (Frotting in the waterfall) Dillon (Hand jobs and oral) Colin (frotting, hand job) Tom (hand job) If we exclude the 'other' category, Will has had sex with 49 people so far, and 33 of those were anal sex and 16 were 'only' oral sex.

It's rare to see Will being immature and not as clever as he normally is. Maybe that's the whole point of this Australia trip, it even made him ask Jake's advice. He has no right to pressure Connie into spending more time with him, although I guess the sight seeing would be a good excuse for the guy being there in the morning.

If you look at the ending of chapter 1 it's already almost a year since he left Peter (February till Christmas). So if chapter 2 starts five years later, that's six years in total. (The editor @Valkyrie would never miss a mistake like that.)

Ahhh, now I understand. I guess my problem was I didn't see a goat in the doorway, just a weird bug.

I don't get the joke. Can someone explain, please ?

A monthly AAA ! Yikes, that's a huge commitment, and Carlos deserves a lot of credit for keeping it going for three years. I'm in awe. I hope you find someone equally determined, Renee.

Hmmm, so Peter's surname was Shaw, but we were never told Kat's surname. On the other hand, maybe Tyler is not the boy's surname, but simply a second name. Because I bet he's Peter's son, and the picture in the drawer is of Tristan. The only question is, how does Tyler know it's a picture in the drawer if he hasn't seen it, and if he has seen if, why doesn't he recognize Tristan ? But perhaps that's because he's only four and he's focused on the Santa hat.

In Denmark we say Prosit when someone sneezes. I'd love to hear what other countries use.

Hmm, cloudy thinking makes for foggy communication. Seems to me they are going round in circles and neither of them will get what he wants or needs.

Well, no more beating around the bush, just straight shootin'. Boone had his say, and it hit Coy hard, knowing his best friend wants or needs them to go their separate ways. But perhaps Boone shot hmself in the foot with his insistence that Coy wants something different than him.

An honest and kind Lawman, with a lot of good sense. I'm sorry he lost his good friends, I bet he doesn't have many people he trusts the way he did Wes and Lee. And getting half of the extra gold and the reward is going to help Boone achieve his dream of buying land.

I'm glad they didn't let the contents of the gunny sack come between them. Boone had a good point about clearing Dan's name, shows how honorable he is. And even Coy knew his brother deserves nothing but the truth.
