Hi Eric, thanks for reading, it's always nice to get a surprise review. You're absolutely right about the need to shake up the bad patterns and make people reconsider their attitude and position.

Yikes, that was something of a cliffie! And he didn't even get the guy he wanted, so he got shot for nothing. But I hope Barry and the others are victorious in the end.

I have the feeling Samuel is intelligent. He can see Barry is doing well as a farmer, and that experience and knowledge is worth more than gold. He understands the need to protect this family and he is honest about wanting to settle. Surely there must be empty farms around and plenty of land to reclaim for farming. Caution is good, but coopration is better, and trust is best.

I think the most interesting part was the information about the gang not being a coherent group of men. How do they get the bad ones killed and the redeemable ones saved? Not such an easy task, and of course the fight itself will be dangerous no matter what. Why didn't Jae ask Samuel if he was warned by Jim, too?

I'm not going to comment on the bad timing and bad luck. I have to say I was quite surprised at Luc kissing Jason. The conversation before that was more or less as expected, until Luc said he could have been what Jason wanted. Does he mean Jason would have settled for the way Luc was or does he mean he has changed and want commitment now? Neither seems likely, so I'm assuming he's throwing out bullshit left and right to get back at Jason. I bet it's the first time anyone walked out on Luc and he's probably been asked about it a fair bit. So now he needs to prove he's on top of the situation, or he wants to get revenge. Well, it worked better than he thought, but if Jason loses Corey on this stunt I wouldn't want to be in Luc's shoes. Jason might do something totally irrational like beat up Luc and jump off a bridge. Oh, and I don't think much of Corey's irrational behavior. Being pissed, yes, but running away is such a dumb thing to do. In fact, Corey should know all about being assaulted by your ex through no fault of your own.

Well, at least Corey had a nice stay with his friends, and Jason distracted him from the noise from the other room. Nothing wrong with going to Toronto, Jason will love the surprise.

What a finale ! Everyone got what they deserved and I have no doubt Niels will find a way to stay with his American. I remembered him wanting to get an ink by Kip's uncle, but what I really want to know is how Kip will do Niels. I think Kip should get pics of his body suit and hang at his station, but I guess that won't do if it has to be his own work. I'm glad AJ and the others did the right thing, they can recognize and appreciate talent when they see it.

Well done, you got the name of the royal ship (Dannebrog) right, but I'm not sure it was capable of crossing the Atlantic. Oh, and I think they stopped using thrones and crowns in the Danish monarchy around 1848. But who cares, it's a 'fairy tale' love story, and a lovely one too. I liked how the Queen realized how having David as his friend helped Vincent reconcile with his duty. Proclaimin David ambassador was a clever way of giving him status in the Danish court. I hope they had a long and happy life together. The Danish you used was quite good, even though I chuckled at times. The word for scalp is skalpering, not hovedbunden. Babelfish strikes again (or Google Translate).

You got the King's name (almost) right: Frederik - except he wasn't King in 1881 but crown Prince (Christian IX reigned from 1963 to 1906), and his wife was called Lovisa. They had eight children, but all of them are too young to be your Vincent (the oldest was born in 1870). But all of the above doesn't matter because the story is fun to read and the love story great.

Ohh, a Danish Crown Prince. Very fictional of course, but that's OK. If he was real he'd be either a Frederik or a Christian, lol. Queen Victoria had a Danish daugther-in-law, and in fact the Danish King at the time, Christian IX, had so many kids foisted on other royal houses he was called Europa's svigerfar (father-in-law). I like the story, but I hope those guards are loyal. But I guess they need to protect their own secret too.

Welcome back, I look forward to reading more about Mark and Dan. I can do without Carl, though, unless we get a chance to see Mark tell him what a stupid, selfish, useless closet case he is, a heartless prick with no spine and shriveled balls, a coward who used his friend for years and never cared how much he hurt him. For a moment when I read the description, I worried about Mark being the victim of false accusations or something, so the political sex scandal was a relief, lol.

Oh well, at least Zac has a chaperone for his first date with Omari, unless Irene is a betraying B.... as well as pushy and unable to take a hint. But I guess it's partly Zac's own fault for not telling her he's already in love with someone. I hope Zac is right about Omari being a nice guy, but so far his powers of observation, not to mention his ability to evaluate people and predict the future, have been rather crappy, lol. But it was nice to see most people welcome him back like that.

I actually agreee with Lukus. He did nothing wrong according to the rules. Arthur was the evil one who made the bad choices.

For fanden da, det var HOT ! Woke me up in a hurry this cold November morning. I'm almost sad it was a dream, but I guess that's the best way and a lot more logical than Joel ever foing this in reality. But of course we know he's always fantasized about being taken by two guys in the shower, so I suppose that's why he had such a vivid dream. And I bet Lucas will enjoy hearing all about it and give his boyfriend a suitable reward.

I was a bit surprised their friends left so soon, but maybe the boys stayed up longer than I thought? Anyway, it was cool of them to visit, but I hope Troy doesn't ask his teacher what porn is. I was a bit sad at Alan not even being up for some cuddling in bed. It's a great stress reliever. The laywer pissed me off too, she might have explained her tactics first. I don't blame Alan for being upset. He might want to keep his sister out of the fight, but I bet Craig's mother will bug her about it. Stupid woman, if she had kept her mouth shut, Alan would probably have let her take care of Bradley and Troy as much as possible. Now she may lose the only part of Craig she has left.

Keeping my fingers crossed and sending you lots of and warm thoughts.

I can't help wondering... does Waldo have a crush on Harry? Or am I seeing things? What is the story with Kevin? Why did Harry have a small moment at the mention of his name? Anyway, it's wonderful to see those boys have such a tight friendship. I look forward to more. Poor Ian, but I think Harry said it perfectly. Ian was there for his friend and held his hand at the crucial moment; if he had arrived two minutes later, the poor boy would have died alone and everyone would have imagined him being in terrible pain or something. At least his family and friends now know it was fast, and Jon had a caring face before him as he slipped away. And now I'm too.

I don't understand Zac. He gets kind emails from his track team mates who he thought would shun him, and he logs off without even thinking about replying. Then they turn up at his house and he can't see their purpose is to show him support, so they have to spell it out. He doesn't even say thank you or tell them how much it means to him.

Will we find out what the scar on Kiorl's jaw looks like? Or is it simply a white print of Lahja's hand? That should make him feel really guilty. And yeah, Ki must have a death wish to kiss an Angel and grab Nassau in public like that. But Nassau is rather sexy when he gets angry. I still can't get used to thinking of Kiaza as a snake rather than a lizard, but I guess he's a guy with snake skin.

I'm also somewhat sad at Patrick and Alan being separated, as well as James and Kenneth, but if they are meant to become heart bound they will meet again. I'm confused about Arthur being called David here.

I'm glad they finally got the reward they deserved, even if it embarrassed them somewhat to be publicly named good.

I'm gonna sit down tonight and watch the last two games from the beginning.

What a relief that James and Kenneth survived the ambush and managed to track and destroy the evil man. A both cool and spooky way to find the sword of the title.

I come back to read this story again and again, finding much joy and excitement every time. I'm glad Chandler and George found understanding and love.

I'm glad they managed to avert the attack, even if it revealed their position to the enemy. And I'm even happier George and Arthur renewed their commitment.
