At first, all I could see in the chapter end note was lots of grey space, so I thought Northie had several empty lines. Now I can see a white square in the grey space. Maybe the content of the link box will (magically) appear at some point. Strange.... PS I checked all the older chapters. They all displayed the link box properly.

and from Denmark. Very sorry to hear about the stressful mom situation. Hopefully exams can be resat later (next year ?), and maybe see a university student counselor, if available, to discuss possible options.

I'm glad Andy and Eric are bonding over their mutual interest in gardens. It's a topic they can discuss many times, especially if Andy takes Eric on more outings. Pub lunches are good too, not too expensive and usually filling. Sad about Adam's mum, but she needs to tell him and ask him to help her leave her husband. It would be better for all of them, even the nasty bigot. It might be the wake-up call which gets him to admit he's an alcoholic. And if it doesn't, write him off, the sooner the better.

Sablo woke slowly, savoring the scent of his beloved cupid and the fact neither of them had any pending missions, so they could enjoy a morning in bed. He reached out, but all his hand touched was a large bundle of cloth. His eyes flew open, and he groaned as the memory of the previous night exploded in his brain. He buried his face in the bed linens and inhaled Theo’s delicious scent while wishing it had all been a nightmare. The door to the room opened, and Diego entered carrying two large

Interesting @Wesley8890 - I was just thinking Richie was softening much too soon. And that his father is still trying to buy him. But I'm glad he's mended his friendship with Gabe, and that Freddy didn't reveal he saw him.

Never mind It's tomorrow now.

Reading this again, I'm very surprised Adam and Andy didn't close their bedroom door. But maybe they don't know how often age 50+ men have to get up at night to pee. Looking forward to more.

Is that bat wearing a diaper ?! That's batshit crazy ! Good morning, nice and sunny here in Denmark.

Hey Albert, and everyone. I'm off to bed, it's been a long day with a lot of writing. See y'all tomorrow.

Yeah, it was a little sad, especially for Theo. But at least he had a friend to support him, when he couldn't get hold of Sablo. I'm delighted you liked the conversations, we worked hard on those (with good help from Valkyrie).

No problem, my friend. I know you'll get there in the end. I'm glad Ayil has redeemed himself in your eyes. He may be strict, but you can't be Top Cupid without having a romantic heart. Not commenting on his future I knew you'd love the sheet thing, it's one of those small details which you do so well in your stories.

Ohh, giant cats, I like it. And they can keep them warm at night too. They'll probably take turns to go off hunting, while one of them leads the way. It will be interesting to find out who the old man is, and what he knows about the King.

This was an exiting chapter ! I'm glad there were more good beast than nasty monsters. Helping Krol was both kind and clever, since being part of their flock gives good protection - and a griffin wing tent to sleep in. Kieran really needs to learn to pace himself.

If only the King and his counselors would be as reasonable and clever as the group of friends. Then they would realize every attempt at controlling Kieran makes matters worse. They should leave them alone, and maybe just observe them. The guys are still making some very sound decisions. I like the way Mr. B reminded them they need to relax after working hard.

Thank you where do you think Sablo should have the tattoo placed ?

You're so sensible, I love it. Sablo will never be as romantic as Theo, but he can get rid of his prejudice against cupids and take an interest in the work his lover does. He's already taken the first couple of steps, and Diego will be there to kick his butt if he falters.

Well, that was a bit of a rash promise, but hopefully it will be next week. Yep, I can be bribed with some delicious lasagna, but how will Sablo get Theo to make it for him ? You want Sablo to invite Atlantis ? https://satwcomic.com/drunken-party No centaurs, but I'll consider Pegasus.

@ColumbusGuy You have a good point about the kitten, and a stuffed toy will be easier to keep hold off. Later, they can decide if they want a live animal too. Yeah, Sablo may not pay much attention to an extra bike in the rack, and hopefully things are resolved with Theo before then. And Azrael should be long gone, before Sablo arrives, since finding them cuddles together on the couch might have cause a few tense moments. Imp may or may not turn up in the story, but so far he hasn't been causing any mischief in this case. More to come, but you'll have to wait to next week, sorry.

Thanks for your confidence, Parker. We'll do our best to resolve this. I like the bike chase idea, it may come in handy later.

Yep, both Sablo and Diego turned off their phones, see above. As for Azrael appearing, see my reply to travlbug. Theo has a special place in Azrael's heart and he's very loyal to his few friends. Let's hope Sablo has a chance to talk to his lover before he sees Ayil's bike next to Theo's. Visiting Ayil to make amends might be a good idea, but I have the feeling Sablo might want to avoid the embarrassment of meeting the Cupid Commander for a while yet. Though I guess he'll see him at Diego's award ceremony. Nope, Diego talking to Rahmiel is not a good idea.

He already did, and we've considered the best way to respond. @Pedro1954 had the right answer. Sablo turned his phone off, and Diego did the same. This was also to prevent Ariel contacting them or finding out where they are. Lots of evil devils, but none of them had a hand in the story - as far as I know. As for who assigned Diego to those missions, Imp would tell you they're the same who pushed him and Angel into A.I. team missions.

It's not easy to stop loving when you've been hit with silver arrows. And yes, I think Theo's reaction was a wake-up call for Sablo which will improve their relationship. Azrael is so misunderstood, people only see his title and forget the compassionate Angel behind the cloak. Theo is one of the few Cupids who made an effort to get to know him. Azrael doesn't forget that, and when his friend's pain called to him, he immediately responded. LOL, I like your ideas, but I don't think Sablo will display himself naked in front of Cupid Central. But when they get home, it's a different matter.

I really want to read that. Yep I have the same problem. This should be said to all of humanity, please. There are too many of us in the world. Very sad news about Notre Dame in Paris. I'm glad I've seen it twice.

Preferably five years from now and after both of them have had separate therapy (anger management for him and grief counseling for Richie).

So he can dish out money for a funeral and be kind to a stranger, how nice. And later he will tell Richie he did it for his sake, in a wonderful piece of emotional blackmail. Richie should work on forgetting or at least ignoring his sperm donor and appreciating the love and caring from his parent substitutes. I like uncle Ray and I'm sure aunt Barbara will be good for him too, as long as she stops trying to nag Richie about his father. Once Richie is grown up and can make his own decisions and they are more like strangers and on a more equal footing, he can perhaps reconnect with the man and lay the hurt and hate to rest. But right now everything will be on HIS terms, and Richie will have to give in on all fronts. His siblings may miss him, but it's better for them to see him happy in another home. I admire Richie for keeping his negative emotions away from them, but he shouldn't have said he might come back.
