LOL, I'm sure Rob would use a shovel to dig traps for others to fall into. But we sort-of can't help like him even so, right?

Well, Rob is the older brother I've always wanted and needed, so I'm glad when others appreciate him as well.

Hi Caz, welcome to the madness of my prompt story. I'm glad you liked the beginning, and I can tell you that 30 chapters later Nelson does know Eric more intimately.

LOL, you need to get one of Kitt's Drool Diverters before the next two chapters in order to protect your new keyboard. I'm delighted you liked the chapter, as you well know (and have told us), sex scenes are NOT easy.

I can't help chuckling about the fact everyone else gets Victor's present before he does. The curse of the time zones. I'm very relieved everyone seems to like the second half of the boys' private time. I felt it was too similar to the first part, but whenever I tried to take things further, it felt wrong (but I'm saving what I wrote for later, lol). Yeah, Nelson is smart, he knows where they are headed. Why fight the inevitable?

You must be reading my mind, dugh. I had them jumping into the shower with anticipation and Wham! they turned all shy on me and refused to do anything. But I'm glad it resonated with you, then I know I did the right thing.

LOL, I guess it was a good mixture of stick and carrot which got this chapter in the air. I did promise Victor a birthday present, and I have JAR nipping at my heels for more Rob. And I'm actually in the midst of a typical Rob chapter, which I think will delight his Team. It's nice to know you liked the sweet stuff in here.

You're right CG, the internet does make some things easier, but on the other hand you can get information overload. And how to sort through all the crap to find the gems? I admit I did think of you when writing about underwear, and I'm glad you guessed my source of inspiration even without me saying. I promise there will be more shower scenes. although probably not as good as Gary's.

“I never thought it could be like this.” Nelson’s whisper was barely audible, but since his mouth was next to Eric’s ear, the younger teen caught it. They were lying on Eric’s bed closely entwined after kissing each other breathless. The admission emboldened him to go a step further. Nelson might have tried to slow things down by putting his jeans back on, but he didn’t resist when Eric began undressing him again. The blond teen slid his hands under Nelson’s T-shirt, while his mouth ni

Thanks Gary, but no I'm not smart - well actually I am (false modesty is stupid), but in this case it's just good memory and the fact I noticed this detail for some reason.

It cannot be anything related to Wil or the rest of the Family, at least not at once. He tells the lawyer: “You want me to buy some real estate?” “Yeah, so there’s no trail that I did it,” I said logically. This secrecy would hardly be necessary, if Will meant for anyone from the Family to use the three condos. But I like the renovation idea, Dave. That might drive Brad and Marc away for a month or longer, if he lets them be done one after each other. If they go back to Escorial, Will will have more opportunities to piss Brad off.

Well, it seems your vacation in Finland has inspired you. very nice, Thorn. Makes me want to visit a sauna again - just for the relaxing, of course.

On a Roll, yeah that's what they are. Almost an avalanche of good luck which hasn't only hit Ace and Deuce but also Chet & Arron, Kendall's parents and even Michael's parents are in on the game with the house his dad had always liked, and Colleen immediately seeing the benefits as I expected. Even Lanny has gotten his share if he can manage to make us of it, and I'm still waiting for Jeremy to benefit, apart from the fact he is getting more responsibility and experience due to Kendall's absences, and thus has a good chance of getting more pay or landing a better job, eventually. I love the teasing of Michael (fat ass, lol) and how happy he is to know Kendall wanna worship that part of his body as much as the other way round. And just as they got in the shower, you slammed the door. sulk JK, it was fine; I'm sure my imagination more than made up for it.

Brad already did something about the lack of space for guests. And if Will doesn't charge any money for use of the gym, it's not a commercial enterprise. It's simply two guys renting a condo and inviting friends over to work out with them. All Brad will see is a steady stream of fit, handsome guys, which should prod him into doing something about getting fat. I agree Will might get one of the other condos set up as a place for family. How about giving it to JJ, who needs a place to stay / hide. He can then use the gym condo to get fit after his injury, particularly if one of the 'owners' is a licensed physiotherapist with sports injuries as a speciality. (to fluer med et smæk, as we say in Denmark) But surely you can come up with something more fun / outrageous ? After all we want to do better than Mark on Will's idea for pissing Brad off ! (I know it's not possible, but try...)

Tillykke med fødselsdagen waves Danish birthday flags at you

Let's play a guessing game: What is Will going to do with the condo below Brad's? My suggestion: set up a gym run by two hot dudes (who are in a relationship) and to get free membership you have to be good-looking gay couples. That should piss off Brad nicely.

LOL, I'm glad to tell you I'm almost done with tinkering with ch 12. Just the last part to write and a round of editing and I'll post it. Innocent and eager, yeah that's Russ, you know him so well now. I'm glad you like Jacob, I hope you'll keep feeling that way. Not saying that to scare you, but he's been shown via the rosa-tinted view of Russ, and thus seems too perfect, but I hope to make Jacob more real, more human as we go along. I like that you point to the twin's mutual need of each other, it's an important theme. To be continued...

There are probably a number of bad parents out there, but I haven't met any of them personally. At most they try to ignore the issue, which can be hurtful too, but not as devastating as those stories I read here and elsewhere. But I wanted to show a set of fairly normal and caring Danish parents, and I'm thrilled you like them. Of course I'm even more delighted you find the story convincing.

My advice is to not read this in a dark and drafty place, since you may pee yourself or worse from fright in certain chapters. Comfort food, tissues, someone to hug you, and a trust in AC is also recommended. In spite of these warnings I agree with Puppi that this is a story of love: strong, unconditional love which conquers all. Great review, Val

I very much doubt Elizabeth Danfield is behind this plan, but if she is her purpose is probably revenge on ME rather than helping her daughter. But since JJ never told Alex exactly what ME said or provided proof of how she acted towards him (Matt should have tipped JJ about the use of a hidden camera), JJ is partly to blame for Alex not taking the threat seriously. But I'm not too concerned about them, it's such silly drama. I'm looking forward to seeing Will's plans for Brad unfold, and I'm hoping we'll see Brad's reaction when he's told why his son wants him removed from his trusts. Wade is the natural choice as a replacement. I'm guessing Zach is under suspicion of being gay and want to keep a distance to Will for a while. But he should simply tell Will instead of hiding things. Oh, well, it's a chance for Will to show he's more mature and able to deal with relationship problems. Or not... But if Will hooks up with Tony, I'm gonna be totally

I think Isaac was clever to realize the change in Ty and believe it enough to tell his club. I guess Ty is being tested quite severely with the lack of interest shown from the AFL. If he can stay positive and a team player for the Leopards all the way to the final, he'll have proven it's not just something that happens when he's feeling good. But I keep fearing he'll have a set back due to his diappointment whenever he's reminded about the draft failure. Of course, if the Leopards can keep him and Jim, it won't be as tough to lose Deon and possibly Dave. And we want a third book of course and this will be more interesting if Dad and the brat are still there. So Peter did get the AFL job offer and accepted. Are there any VFL teams with female coaches IRL? Julie deserves the chance, but perhaps it's too early after just one year. I'm sure most of the players will support her, and if Will does too, she could take the Leopards far. On the other hand she won't have as much time for the personal coaching which seems one of her main talents. But she is also brilliant at coming up with new strategies during games and training and at motivating players (same as Peter).

All I can say is 'serves Alex right', I hope ME makes his life Hell from now on. As for JJ maybe this is the time for him to find something else than skating to interest him and fill his life. I'd love for him to casually say to the press that he's bisexual, that he and Alex had a threesome with ME, and she made sure she got pregnant, so she could gain control of her trusts and get a husband, preferably a noble one. That would be a lovely payback, and it would all be perfectly true. But I'm sure Mark (+ Brad, Will etc) can come up with something better.

Those two final lines from Silas and Chelsea had me cracking up, LOL. But I liked the way Drake acknowledged the fact that Ian is a responsible adult who cares about him and wants his brother to trust him. But even more so I love the image of Silas as someone who looks out for his friends and is willing to do anything to help them.

Thanks for reminding me of the Penguin Prompt, it was great. But I can see why noone has had a go at those other themes, I wouldn't know what to do with them either.

I've been saving this for a rainy day to cheer me up, but I have to admit it works just as well on a sunny morning at the start of a long week-end off. Sometimes the past can come back and hit you in unexpected ways, but at least it was brought up and dismissed at once, instead of being left to fester. That's a sign of real trust and love.
