Ohh, now I feel like crying. Poor Oli, if he cried, Buddy would get upset, and Oli is too shy to explain. But he'll have to at some point. But at least he's mostly happy in Buddy's company. And I hate Oli's dad

Don't thank me ! Mike was the one to see it. I didn't notice in the story, only when I read his post here.

I didn't note the absence of a quotation mark, but I immediately saw the missing r on your schedule. I bet this is what mike was thinking of. “It’s fine,” I said. It was one of those things I would just as soon forget. “So what’s you schedule?”

I'm so glad you managed to get past the scary part and I swear Jacob will never do anything intentionally hurtful towards his love - and especially not when they are intimate. But remember he's not that old or experienced either, so they will have to explore their boundaries together. Hopefully for the rest of their lives.

To answer your last question first: NO the story is not going in this direction - please see my reply below.But I'm almost glad this issue seems to be controversial, since it makes readers comment - and I love comments :-) And your thoughts about why Russell comes across as submissive are clever and relevant. Let's hope Jacob catches on to this too ! To be honest I have not yet decided exactly how this matter will be played out, and I'm likely to be influenced by the views expressed by readers. I may have to set up a story forum for this (as AC has told me to do). However, in my mind Jacob has no 'dom' tendencies, apart from being protective and slightly possessive. In fact, he has no clue how to tackle the concept, which is why he tells Russ they need help. And the help may cause them to avoid falling into this type of interaction. I hope you'll stay with the story, and I promise to give fair warning about any non-vanilla sex down the line (if the story ever goes there, which will probably be after another ten or twelve chapters, lol).

Becca's a bitch. While Kieran may know very little about relationships and romance, he certainly knows his cousin. And her reply showed she couldn't care less about her future husband's opinions and wishes. So the pre-nup comment was certainly warranted, and I hope he's got one. At least Kier and Robin will be in complete agreement about telling Robin's mum to shove her wedding plans where the sun doesn't shine - that is if they ever manage to solve their getting-off-on-the-wrong-foot problems.

I'm glad Abel and Dennis (sorry about the name confusion in my ch 19 review) are being morally responsible about using their combined talents. Discussing the pros and cons of influencing the mind of the Admiral and making a family decision show that they will not descend into a misuse and a disdain for non-telepathic humans which could so easily result from being 'superior'. We're all eagerly awaiting the adventures which the updated spaceship and our heros may encounter.

Oh thank you so much for raising the question about BDSM, I was hoping someone would. I'll let you in on a little secret: the whole sub/dom thing was a complete surprise to me as well as Jacob and Russell. It popped up out of the blue as I was writing this chapter and I'm almost as freaked by it as my two guys, LOL.I can definitely promise that CC won't turn into a BDSM story. The issue may come up now and then, and since I'm still writing the story and only have a vague outline for the whole thing, I'm not sure about the details of how they'll deal with it. But IF they eventually decide to go there (even a little bit), I think it's going to be very vanilla and I'll warn you in the chapter notes. I'm glad you see them as caring and sensitive, because this is the main track of the story. Russ needs to build his confidence and Jacob wants to protect and care for him. And hopefully they can create a balanced relationship and make a life together at the same time. Thanks for reading and I hope you'll stick with the story.

Re ch 3 - it seems Brad has finally learnt his lesson about not hurting Matt. and even if Brad and Cam are not likely to have a permanent relationship, i think they are good for each other right now. Cam will gain confidence and trust in himself from being singled out by Brad, and Brad's need to believe that he's still attractive is certainly met by a young handsome guy like Cam wanting him. I enjoyed seeing Brad validating Cam's opinions and boosting his ego. Sometimes we forget where Will got his cleverness and caring personality from, but Brad is perceptive, loyal and unselfish too - when he's not freaked out by Robbie abandoning him.

Zach may judge other people harshly, but at least he's not self-deluding and he appreciates those who are there for him: Will, Frank and Isidore (in this chapter). I like him for that.

Tillykke med fødselsdagen, Cia thanks for all the good work you do on GA, helping us when we fumble around (or me, at least ) - and for your stories too.

Well, you certainly helped putting things just where they needed to be, so I'm glad you (and Gary) think I managed to get it right.Forgiving myself for mistakes and wrong actions is something I find hard too. Forgiving others is much easier. I guess Russ sort of reflects this aspect, but he does take the blaming himself and feeling unworthy to extremes, lol. Hopefully Jacob can cure him of that.

So nice when readers like those parts which are my favorites too. Your reviw made me smile and blush with pride. Oh and also sigh with relief that you found the sex scene hot. It's always tricky to do the erotic parts of a romance.Russ has more work ahead to deal with how he feels about his father, but the talk with Kathrine was a good start. He needs to feel confident about himself (and his relationship with Jacob) - as long as it lasts.

Thanks dughlas, I'm glad you liked the first chapter and I hope you'll continue reading - and commenting, I love it when readers share how they felt about my stories.Yeah Russ has quite a journey to travel to get out of the shadow of not only his twin but also other people. I'm still working on that. It won't be painless, but I think it will end with him being happy.

The next morning we went down to the beach again after breakfast. We met up with the same crowd, and I felt much more at ease in their company. I had a long chat with Kathrine, during which I learned she was studying psychology. She was actually twenty-five years old, which surprised me and I managed to blurt out, “Really? I thought you were twenty-one or so.” “Oh, you’re such a sweet boy, Russell. Especially since you’re sincere and didn’t mean it as a sneaky compliment. Anyway enough about

Just another brick in the wall... of why Oli hates his father. So sad. I understand the need for secrecy, but I can't help feeling that if Oli had been seeing a girl, his dad might have reacted differently. I was going to add something about Oli and Boris being perfect for each other, but I think I'll take that comment over to the forum, to give everyone a chance to spank me (verbally).

Aaarrrrghh, no, no, no. Shit no. Stupid Nat, so fucking stupid. Damn, damn. I can't even say how this makes me feel, I'm so Lester is even more crazy and deluded than I thought. I sincerely hope Guy and Takei have established enough of a connection to Nat to feel something is wrong. Fuck, I want them to rip Lester apart! Grrrrrrrr

I almost want Dennis to complain to his parents about the scary guy with the scary dog. just in order to read about Kier telling them and the school principal: "Sure, I'll apologize. Just as soon as Dennis gives a public apology to Katy for sexual harassment, bullying and making her cry. Oh and he has to mean it too." Good thing he or that much alcohol could have killed him. Silly idiot.

It's back from both my editors and I plan to post it soon.

Thanks. I'm glad the story appeals to you. I hope you'll enjoy future chapters too.

But at least with forum posts you can go back and edit a mistake like that. So it's more important to read through your reviews carefully before posting as any mistakes there are preserved forever.

I know, I know, I'm sorry. I really do try to control my addiction. But sometimes it gets away from me. Sorry for causing posts in the forum, Mark. (he, he haven't used that one before...)

Of all your single stories, this is probably the most complex, since it weaves three separate threads into one. Each of them is compelling and has interesting characters, who interact wonderfully. It's a little confusing that the first part of Arthur's tale turns out to be much later in time than Robbie's initial chapter, but not so much that I lost track. The best part of the story is how the boys gradually turn this into a quest, complete with facing challenges and getting aid from Good people and defeating Evil people. And by doing this they also became free of whatever past hurts they suffered. Not to metion bringing Light to Eblis.

Once a week is still very good, so no complaints. I like the idea of the new 'lensing' effect, and interesting to know it worked with other members of the family too. I wonder if this ability is something inherent in Brian's telepathic clan, in which case they might want to search for other members and recruit them. Oh and they should 'breed' from him as well as Abel. Shield improvement is another area to keep working on. If Brian's Dennis' family can now coach other telepaths, it would give them a whole new source of income and or gratitude. Plus lessen the risk of discovery and make their lives easier. So many things to explore - it keeps the story interesting and the romance fresh.

They still have the whole Mediterranean Sea to sail before Granger can unload the Elgins on the poor Ottomans. Maybe this is why they've sent Lord Elgin to a Moslem country ? They know his wife will have to be secluded or whenever he deals with the local powers or goes out in public, which would not be the case in Christian countries.
