Oohhh, that first line almost begs for a quick Sablo Diego and Azrael story. Right, @aditus ?

Why do Americans assume everyone wants to move to the US ? Years ago, I lived on the US west coast for several months, and the questions most asked by people we met was "How do you like it here, and are you hoping to stay?" I and the other Dane I was with would look baffled and say "No, why would we? It's great to be here for a while, but we want to live in Denmark." Sometimes, people would be surprised at our bafflement, and both parties would awkwardly back off or try to change the topic. It was a weird experience at first, but after a while we got used to the question and just shrugged it off.

I loved Jo's forthright and humorous explanation of the kind of counselor she is. Well done, Walter, for realizing she's exactly what Robbie needs. I'm hoping her rule about sexual abuse doesn't cover what Alex did, but relates to either the teen being abusive or an adult abusing him / or her. I'm not saying Alex didn't abuse Robbie sexually, but I'm hoping Jo will realize that she needs to step softly on this topic in order to help Robbie deal with the depression and other fall-outs. After all, she's there to help him with his issues and with Alex gone, Robbie isn't in any immediate danger of being assaulted again. I absolutely loved Sue looking utterly clueless and foolish. Serves her right.

Actually, why don't they write off the whole Nirthfell family ? Who cares if they get targeted by Cheryl. But why would she want a bunch of second-rate, conceited mages ?

It's nice to see Tristan so playful and happy. Carl needs some fun in his life with all the bad news. They need to kill Cheryl asap.

What I want to know is whether he's already posted the chapter with that scene. If not, I guess we have to brace ourselves. Carlos, did Thorn's reply get chopped half way, or is it just the last word (sense) which is missing ?

Thank you so much I'm very flattered you thought the interracial aspect was handled satisfactorily. I was worried about that when I decided about Dean in the first story, because what does a white Danish guy know about such matters (other than my own fantasies) ? On the other hand, I wanted to push my boundaries as a writer and not always chose main characters who are like different versions of me. The human or haters taunt was one of my favorite parts. To me it's obvious that if you care about human rights and ethics you cannot show bigotry to LGBTQ people. All those haters, and in particular those who use religion to promote their inhuman attitudes, are the scum of the earth, and I hope they end up in the Hell they believe in. I'm glad you enjoyed seeing them from another POV. I liked getting to know Hugh and how he fit together with Dean.

It was the ending we all hoped for. Maybe Erik will stop trying to solve his problems by drinking. That drunken proposal was awful and embarrassing, but I'm relieved Ryan was able to laugh and tease him about it afterwards. Erik is very lucky to have found a strong guy who loves him unconditionally. If they get married, I hope he sends his family and anyone else he knows in Utah open postcards made from their wedding photo. The one to his parents should say something like: Dear Mom and Dad. I have moved to Canada and married the man I love. I'm very happy, and I now have a family who accepts me and cares about me. Your ex-son Erik. The resulting gossip would be a nice revenge and perhaps one or two of his siblings may regret the behavior which kept the family from being invited to the wedding.

At least listening at the door showed Erik that Ryan understands the dilemma and is loyal to him. His body tells him how stressful N.Y. is for him, but he still cannot get free of the unknown chain binding him to the place.

Calling the dragon Maurice is a great way of building protection against fear in their minds. If they keep thinking and talking about the huge dragon-like construct they'll feel they cannot win against it. Going up against Maurice is much easier to do. I wasn't surprised at the ease of the Pearl nabbing. The difficult part is keeping it concealed and rescuing Ranevargar.

Why do all extroverts automatically assume that introvert people need to come 'out of their shells' and be more sociable ? Maybe we don't want or need lots of social encounters, because we're happy in our own company. And we sure don't need pushy people like Erik forcing us to meet his friends or go to drunken parties.

I'm disappointed with Heath. Aidan finally opened up about his awful job, and Heath didn't make a serious attempt to find out how badly his bunny boy is treated.

Thank you, Def. I loved that the fire extinguisher made you laugh. I'm sure Bart was sulking a bit in the hallway, but hopefully his imagination gave him a few images to go with the sounds from the bedroom. Hugh's grandmother is indeed a very special lady, and he knows how lucky he is to have her love and support. Of course, Hugh is also a caring grandson, so it all works out. A spare Bart? Now, what would your friend need a talking, leaking fire extinguisher for ?

Good to have you back. Time to start reading both stories again, so I'm ready for new chapters.

When Asher said "Just like your daddy." I didn't think he meant Clarke's dad was gay, because how could he know that ? (same with the teacher) I though he meant that Clarke was a bigoted idiot who couldn't take loosing, just like his father. But no matter what Asher meant it was the catalyst for Clarke finally escaping the bullying at home.

I agree with Parker about Devon trying his hand at writing erotic fantasy. Especially the first daydream was HOT I wasn't too pleased at first when Devon laughed at Fabian's efforts at seduction, but since it worked in spite of the teasing, I guess it was OK. Some of Devon's insecurities about his job can hopefully be cured with experience and a few more examples of doing good.

to everyone who left a like, a comment and a review on my story.

Did she use the Canadian or the Finnish method to get rid of the bear ? https://satwcomic.com/bear-whisperer

And Imp needs is a kilt to fit his own red skin.

Coming back to 22 pages and I had to check all of them, so I didn't miss the kilting stories. Maybe Angel should tell Imp to replace his loincloth with a kilt ?

I think Pete had his change in behavior reinforced when he realized the positive effect on the productivity of the people around him. Henry was a true friend when he told Pete what he thought of his rudeness and selfishness.

I'm delighted Ranevargar and Kieran have found a way to resist Maynor. He'll be surprised and angry when the Pearl disappears.

Micah's explanation about Mrs. Howard was great. He is both honest and kind.

Corey's mum may order their lives, but she welcomes their relationship, and that's the most important part.

The sadness is for the struggle of the parent to help and cherish his son, not just when he's ill but all through his life. I would never be able to cope with a kid who talked all the time. But I can see how it would be even worse to almost lose the fight to get the correct diagnosis and treatment. I'm not surprised he was relieved that his perseverance finally got results. And kudos to the young doctor for being up to date on symptoms and checking out possible physical causes rather than blaming the change on the boy's disability.
