Timothy M.

Yay, thanks. I'm delighted you enjoy the Danish bits, although I wouldn't exactly call my language logical. Particularly not our numbers (50, 60, 70, 80 and 90). Anything to make you review, lol.

Thanks, Caz, I'm glad you noticed this in particular, since I wanted to show his mixed feelings. Lots more relationship development to come.

Hmm at least he's being nicer to Luke. Interesting to see how he respects and listens to a man with natural parental authority, and how the Coach explains why Jackson needs to shape up rather than try emotional blackmail or ordering him around. I don't think Allison is phony, she probaby does miss Jackson and she certainly likes him more than he likes her. Her instincts about Luke as a rival are spot on - not that she has any idea about either of them being gay, I mean a rival for his time, because time spent with Luke is time away from her and his other friends. Interesting to see Jackson's confidence about being able to hep Luke, but I bet he'll do it via his mum, telling her Luke want to go to his school and if they did, it would be easier to become friends. Not that he intends to, yet, but she would feel as if she's won a victory, silly woman,

I agree with my Swedish friend, but I have the nagging suspicion Casey may be accusing the Coach wrongly, even if the man is a creep and a jerk. This may come back to haunt him in relation to the real pervert he confronted. But I have to say I loved every single moment. This also applies to Casey's confrontations with his father who deserves every single accusation and rant thrown at him. I cannot help loving a guy who stands up for Lane and himself even if he's not always being clever about it. I'm always on the side of people wronged and unfairly treated.

I'm surprised and awed you managed to solve the kidnap situation so believably and yet happily. I think you were being a bit unfair to Piper who must have been as helpful as Tris in telling the police where Ehren's hideout was, since she had actually been there. And I was impressed the police reacted fast enough to the gunshots - and didn't shoot Ehren to, what with him holding a gun. I mostly miss the scene where Tris and Piper's parents are faced with why Ehren ran and having to realize they almost got him killed by calling CPS instead of waiting for him to explain why he didn't trust the authorities. I would have liked to see more of Ehren's interaction with Beth's uncle and perhaps the boss of the meth dealing CPS worker - how embarrassing for them not to have caught on to him themselves. Another part I missed is Ehren being enrolled into the high school of Tris and Piper, this must have been something of a challenge, when he probably doesn't live in the school district, is behind on so much apart from reading, and what about money for books, school fees, a laptop and what else he needs? Anyway, I liked Ehren's conclusions about how he gained back Tris who he thought he had lost, and also his total commitment to their future. Hopefully, this will carry him through all te challenges to come. Especially having to fit into the 'normal' world of a teen and a student. Thanks for a great story, I'll be hoping for a sequel.

I have to admit I only read the first part up to right after Hank's fantasy, and then I went straight to the end to see whether Danny got rescued. The few glimpses of text as I scrolled down were enough to make me shudder, even though I expected what would happen. Sorry, Val, but I simply couldn't bear to read the whole story. It was too compelling and scary.

Patrick walked into the bedroom feeling unusually content considering his mind was on his estranged family, only to have every thought but one driven out of his head. “Oh man, he looks good. Yum. I want some of that!” Peter was standing at the end of his bed, naked except for a pair of black boxers, and the sight took his breath away. “I wasn't sure if you prefer one side of the bed, so I thought I'd wait and ask.” He managed to shake his head and indicate he was indifferent. Pete

Well, at least Simon had his say. Hopefully, Toby will leave him alone from now on. And writing things down may help. I'm still worried about him, though - and there's still the parents to deal with. I'm gonna ignore the cliffie.

Thanks, Gary, I'm glad you found the chapter interestin and Rob and Jazz typical. Means I haven't lost my touch in spite of the long break. I haven't had any personal experiences with Chris types, so I'm relieved you found him credible. AC told me he thought this sort of behavior was getting rarer and I hope he is right. And of course you're absolutely right about the coach having the final word on who gets kicked off the team, but if someone says they want to leave (and focus on their finals), he might not object if it's not a key player.

You're welcome, Drew, and thanks for the lovely review. lol on Rob getting all the attention, I think Jazz and Mitchell played equally important parts. I loved that the small Nelson reminder made you chuckle, it did the same for me. Rob being gay-curious is so much fun to write, even if it only happens in his mind. I'm not good on the redemption writing, we'll have to ask Gary for that. But I think Chris is a lost case. Lit did indeed have several good points and I also liked the one about flattering attention in particular.

LOL, yeah, Rob's back with a vengance. But I'm not sure everyone agrees that his behavior was saintly.

Yay and a brilliant review too. Thanks, LL. I guess Jasper has the advantage of having a gay best friend, so he's pretty immune to any worry about be checked out by a guy. But you're quite right about the other factors too. Yeah Rob found a good lever in the confrontation with Chris. Nobody wants him around to judge them and point fingers. We'll have to see what the coach says about it - and that he's not strict about swearing. Rob may be curious, but he knows when not to press the issue (well mostly, lol). And I love that you caught on to my intention to leave the matter undecided.

“What now?” Rob muttered under his breath as he entered the locker room and saw most of the baseball team in the middle of a heated discussion. Practice had gone well, their coach had still been pleased with the win on Saturday, and everyone was in a good mood. The assistant coach had concentrated on Jazz, making sure he rested his wrist in between working on his pitching. Rob had helped out by batting whenever the pitching coach took them out to the mound to test specific pitches. Jazz had

I have to admit this chapter confused me. I waited to see if the reviews from other readers would help, but I'm still ? I hope the next chapter will clear things up. What was the deal between Steve and Toph's mother, and how did she know about him and get in touch with him. Why don't we hear anything about the family's reaction to Toph being gay? Or did she mean to spring on everyone? btw I don't think she has changed at all. Why does Toph let Gary resume their relationship as friends as if nothing has happened? I want to see a confrontation where Gary is made to admit all his betrayals and manipulations and understand how badly he hurt Toph. He should apologize for everything and promise to do better.

I hate not being able to edit reviews. This sentence in my ch 5 review: Knowing his former lover regrets letting hi go, and will not be a supportive friend is good for Tait. was meant to be Knowing his former lover regrets letting him go, and will now be a supportive friend is good for Tait. I liked reading all the other comments on this chapter, they had lots of good points.

Impressive to see Tait face up to many of his choices in the past and reevaluate the decisions he and others made. Knowing his former lover regrets letting hi go, and will not be a supportive friend is good for Tait. I'm waiting to find out why there were no criminal charges brought against his husband before now. But then, revenge is a dish best served cold.

Ze plot zickens. I wonder if Merrick was only discovered after Jenson contacted his crew, but I hoped he was missed by them before that. What I don't understand is why the Senator didn't kill Merrick. Is this a ploy to get Jenson down on the planet? Is the Senator being blackmailed by Kel's father? Or is he somehow disguised as or controlling the Senator?

Mr Wenthworth is an irresponsible teacher and coach, and should be in trouble for twice leaving his class alone and having a fight happen and a student injured both times. At least Casey is no longer fooled by Mike, and Lane's teacher can see he's doing his new brother a lot of good. I hope she tells Karen.

Aegis and WET are a great team. Loved his teasing chewing out of both the ship and the senator. Liked the no-nonsense approach to the Outcasts and his flirting with Jim. I hope they both enjoyed the hot bunking.

I wish Jackson would be nicer to Luke, it isn't his fault. At least he realized Luke has a harder time at home than he ever did, even with the present grounding. But I hope he keeps up his courage to tell his mom when she is being utterly unreasonable and behaving ridiculously.

I'm still a bit puzzled as to why they think Daniel's attacker will return to the club. After all, he was not a proper member. Never mind, Toby's education should be fun, and I think Silas has finally found someone who can keep him in line. Good to see Daniel cuddled and safe.

Trever was rude and he obviously has problems with proper Dom behavior in general, but in fact his instincts about Toby as a Dom were quite accurate. I hope Toby acting is up to it, but at least he's in training. By the way, which city are we in? Please say Chicago, then I might use the club in CC.

A good solution to the Daniel and Silas, and I cannot wait to hear Tara lecture the subs who said those stupid things to Daniel. I hope she bans them from the club for a few weeks.

Sigh, somehow I knew I was gonna be sad after reading this story.

I agree, Parker. It gave me the chills, Such evil - and yet such determination to atone.
