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

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.

Not all that glitters is gold. They did find real gold in the river, but Boone still thinks they were fools to do this for so long. But I think the actual fool's gold here is Coy trying to insist his brother cared about him. And their mother saw the heart of gold in Boone at first, but she was a fool to listen to her nasty son and to the bigotry of religion. Religion can be fool's gold for the stupid and the weak, compared to the real gold of love and understanding and compassion. Boone kept Coy from following his wishful idea of brotherly love, by holding the real gold of friendship as a shield, but he no longer needs to do that. But three good men payed with their lives because Coy was too much of a fool and a coward to tell Will to get lost. It's hard to forgive him for that.

Oh, and of course they open presents on Christmas Eve. That's the proper way to do it after dancing around the Christmas tree. I also enjoyed making sure you had the whole range of likes for this chapter.

YES !! Perfect revenge. Disappear without a trace and call to accidentally, but hopefully, ruin his pleasure of the engagement party. That made me chuckle with glee. Of course, I feel sorry for Tristan too, but he acted cleverly by making a clean break and organizing another life far from his cheating ex. I hope he really did get closure and will find someone better, who actually loves him. Then he can exact an even better revenge, when he meets Peter again.

It should have been Denmark saying sne-tissemænd in the comic, Sweden is much too bashful to enjoy those sculptures. And he probably has them in the far North of the country, too, while we would never get enough snow. But otherwise it was funny.

The moment Stroganov gave the dinner invitiation I wondered whether they would be served Beef Stroganov. It's quite popular in Denmark too. How is Rimsky-Korsakov related to the composer Nikolaj who was born in 1844 ? Maybe another branch of the family. I liked the bonding moment with Daventry. And I'm glad I don't have to keep track of Granger's erotic conquests. But I'm happy he's still having fun in bed in the midst of all his hard work for his country and his family.

I'm very much looking forward to reading the story.
