Oooops But I'm not surprised, that was both hot and romantic. Now, why is it a problem that Fin came? Is he no longer pure enough to cross over? I'll have to go back and check.

I was so enraged by Dale attempting to rape Fin that I completely forgot to review. On one hand I'm glad the unicorn healed him, and I assume he'll heal Jack's hands and face as well to erase all signs of his fight with Dale. On the other hand I worry about what will happen when Dale is found all beaten up for no apparent reason. He will seem like a victim rather than a criminal. Oh, well I'll have to trust that Alistair will punish him suitably.

Sweet, soft and loving with only one sour mother note. Originating with Gary of course.

It was interesting to see how Bauer actually ended up asking as many questions of Wini as the other way round, and he even dominated the conversation with his story about the creation of the hotdog. This young gentleman may be as determined and stubborn as his lunch partner. I loved the way Wini at the same time calmed her mother's worries and at the same time hinted how she should resist her son's attempt at bad-mouthing her grandson and the young man's most natural instinct to stay away from his idiot of a father. I wager Wini has had plenty of experience with counteracting the bullying ways of her brother, and indeed she tells Bauer so herself. His point about having a family being better than no family, even if some family members are unpleasant, is espcially poignant, knowing what I do. Even though short, it was wonderful to see Wini's idea for a FB Society take wing on the updraft of enthusiasm. And I'm glad to see the same can be said of your story and its readers.

Thank God he managed to phone 911. We shall have to hope the ETM's arrived together with the police and can resuscitate Luke before his brain is damaged.

By the time we finished our main course, and were ready for dessert, the restaurant had become filled. Our waiter was now Alfredo’s youngest son, who was about five years older than me. Victor was very handsome with his short black curly hair and I used to have a small crush on him. That was three years ago and before I met Eric. Now blue eyes and blond hair were my favorite look on a guy, and I only had eyes for my boyfriend. Eric and I talked, laughed, shared food and even touched briefly

Tillykke med fødselsdagen ! Wawing Danish birthday flags and a SATW comic which is somewhat topical.

Tillykke med fødselsdagen ! Happy wawing of Danish birthday flags and a SATW in honor of one of your stories

Well, at least Dorian the Doormat might get a chance to tell the Dean he was almost raped in the showers. That should distract the idiot from seeing him at the GSA.

Thank you for reading and leaving such wonderful reviews. I'm glad the story has captured your heart and given you Aaww moments. Yes, Farmor may not have thought through what her spur-of-the-moment disapproval talk could cause. Luckily, Peter managed to avert Michael's worry and the boy loves both his dads now. About the neighbors...

LOL, yes I think Moster Grethe will appreciate John and his witty ways. I'm looking forward to that meeting too. Glad you're getting warm fuzzies from reading, I'm getting the same from your reviews. Peter does his best to ignore the hurt of betrayal and not let it influence his life. But whenever he's reminded, he gets upset. Luckily, Patrick is there for him, as well as Moster, and of course Michael will be their priority right now.

This was a wonderful review. I'm so pleased you saw exactly what I wanted to show in the interaction between John and Anthony. I think your Matt and Brad may have inspired their banter and easy familiarity. Glad you enjoyed their story. Peter is a rock who can anchor Patrick, but I think he gains strenght from his fiancé too. They're definitely good for each other. My only problem with having their wedding a year in the future is wondering how many chapters it will take to get there. Thanks for mentioning the ending of the chapter, to me that was an important statement.

Thanks, Arazon, I'm glad you're still amused by our resident imp and his A.I. partner. I see them with new eyes now I know their background story. The TLC joke is definitely one of the funnier incidents. Patrick has lots of fantasies to make real and some of them will involve teasing.

It's one of the few stories which has had me regretting not having access to Premium so I could read the sequels to the Degan Incident.

Hey, Lisa, indeed it was your review after chapter 6 I was referring to. It had me and at the time. Thanks for the compliment.

Thanks, AC, official (teen) dates are really difficult for me, because we don't have those over here, som I'm delighted you think it worked well. Both Nelson and Eric like to feel safe and in control of the situation. Then they can relax and enjoy themselves. About that predicted hot experience you're probably right. I'll try to get writing, but there's a PPC deadline coming up.

wow, I thought my readers were cool about accepting the unusual scenario of Patrick and Peter declaring their love after less than three days. But here people are grumbling because two teens, of which one had never even considered being gay/bi, are not immediately falling into each other's arms as destined earth mates two days after meeting. I thought both Kellar and Tobyn are remarkable open about how they feel, both internally and externally. Kellar has already accepted as a fact that he loves Tobyn and will never want anyone else, and that he cannot leave without admitting it. Tobyn is openly saying he can feel Kellar's mental anguish and that he has issues which needs to be dealt with. “I’m not clueless, and you’re not the only one who has some emotions to sort through, you know.” How much more obvious can he be? Plus it's not as if him and Tilly are getting married tomorrow, they're not even living together or having sex. For all we know, Tilly may fall head over heels in love with her sister's savior, because her reaction to Tobyn seems more like a sister or friend than a lover. There is plenty of time for them to break up, but right now Adelin must have first priority. OK, enough about that, but y'all need to have faith in Gary. He's on chapter twenty-something and this story is like a fine single malt. It needs to mature slowly in order for us to get the full flavor and enjoy the taste. Now onto my 'normal' review topic: the title. Both men are definitely caught Between a Rock and a Hard Place. For both of them the rock is their mutual attraction and the love we can see develop. This huge rock has come tumbling into their lives, smashing preconceived notions and opening up a new path in the hard tangle of duty and obligations. Tobyn's hard place is his sense of duty to his pack, his determination to save them. As Kellar says it: You’ve made a decision, and your life is not your own. Kellar's hard place is his need to heal, he has already explained he's driven to help sick and injured creatures. Even if he wanted to run away from the heartbreak of the situation with Tobyn, he can't. As for being on the outside, looking in.... this points to Kellar, but in fact it was Tilly who was outside the car looking in before this chapter began. Kellar may be outside the pack and outside Tobyn's relationship with Tilly, but I don't think that will last. The draw between the two men is too strong, and I believe it will soon become obvious to the other shifters. After all, they have noses and eyes too. Once Adelin is better, Tobyn will find a way explain to Tilly. But it would be cruel to break up with a girl, who's already at breaking point from fear for her sister's life. It was a wonderful chapter, showing us Kellar's compassion and understanding and anguish in love, as well as Tobyn being almost more focused on the hurt he percieves from Kellar than helping Adelin and Tilly. Soon there will be no denying their bond openly.

Thanks, LL, I'm relieved everyone likes the choice of restaurant so far, and I'm very pleased you notice the mature teen behavior. One of my reasons for writing this story was to balance all those headless-chicken teens which people so many stories on GA. Ie teens who let their emotions rule them all the time and never seem to have a reational thought or are capable of acting sensibly even occasionally.

Sorry about the Italian, CG, I sent you a PM with translations. Some friends of my mother experienced the price-less menu in a posh restaurant in either Rome or Paris, I forget which, and it was only when the husband started grumbling about the cost that the wife realized she had ordered the most expensive items on the menu. I'm glad you felt the romance behind the rationale of being in this particular restaurant. I think Nelson is 'resigned' to having oral sex, but he'll put his foot down if Eric pushes him too far. I shall do my best to keep a tight rein on the hormones and passion. But some fun is bound to happen tonight. No first line prompt was available, and I also did without for some of their previous date chapters. I look forward to reading yours.

Grazie mille, amico mio.

I think Gunni did quite well in dealing with Dimitri's confession. I'm glad you let this chapter be mostly positive, and left Dimitri's story for later. I may skip that chapter.

Was that for me? I don't watch any... But then I don't watch porn either, I only read it - and write it.

I sure did.

that was my first thought too, except they don't allow posting of pictures, I think.
