@ColumbusGuy It's OK for some scenes to be a little sentimental, but I always worry about overdoing it, because I don't have much experience in writing romance. And there is nothing wrong with being unsentimental, rational and logical. That's my default mode - and also in the stories I write.

Ha, ha, you probably feel like Nelson and Eric have been dating for years, but they haven't even been a couple for a month in story time. They're still exploring how best to enjoy each other with hands and mouths.

You're absolutely right. Rob may tease them about interruptions, but he's much more likely to help them have some intimate moments.

I can't feature Jasper in every chapter, but I promise to think about including him more. Maybe I should write a chapter from his POV ? LOL I hope reach the Prom long before chapter 99.

I'm glad you liked that little C joke, I had fun coming up with it. The talk took a long time to get just right, so it's wonderful to know it worked. As for missing Rob

Such a worry could perhaps be behind Diego being sent on those special missions and getting the attention of Azrael. Maybe the Powers think it would be good for the Angel of Death to get a partner to prevent them from giving up ? The uncollected souls would be lost, and eventually (all) humans would be soulless. Although the ghost concept could also be a possibility.

If you want to dress like a boy and feel like a boy some days, and dress like a girl and feel like a girl other days, then you should feel free to do so. People around you will soon get used to you saying or showing who you are in any specific moment. I think that the more people who challenge the gender norms in many different ways, the more people will have to revise their rigid hetero- or homo-normative thinking. Hopefully, we'll end up in a world where tolerance and acceptance is worth more than religion and tradition. fra Danmark

Well, if Gabe keeps putting his foot in his mouth, I'm not surprised Richie wants to keep his distance. Getting rid of the phone was probably smart, because the sperm donor most likely has a tracker on it. Unless Becky's brother Stephen is also in the closet Richie might be outed at school soon.

That's what I was thinking too. The doctor needs to be interrogated, as he's much more likely to spill the beans than any of the others. The Andy guy is another likely prospect. Of course, if they're voluntarily part of the plot, they need to be punished, pregnant wife or not. Although this seems to be one of the rare cases of opposite sex mating and a Serai being born and not created by mating, so we need to know more, especially if the doctor is still fully human.

I'm sure Sho will still want to mate him, no matter what. But they have to rescue Ivan and D first. And preferably skewer the Secretary at the same time - not in the heart though, he needs to die slowly and painfully. I suggest guts and a lung.

Sho and Nico may never forgive themselves for not being faster, if they don't manage to save Ivan. I hope his blindness can be reversed if he gets to drink Sho's blood at once. But even if he's physically blind for good, he'll still be a seer - and perhaps even better for being blind. If Diarmad knew the rescue was so close he might have answered a few questions to keep the Secretary satisfied. But I guess he believes no one can get there fast enough to save them.

Are we there yet ? yes, apparently we are !

Whenever you're ready...

They building a deeper connection all the time, both mentally and physically. Ian has a few ghosts in his past too, but Lex is the right guy to be supportive without judging. He'll treat Casey just as kindly as Ian does. LOL to Cassie's reaction to the news. I look forward to her visiting and seeing for herself how happy Lex is and how wonderful his back looks now. Maybe she'll find someone to like in the town, if they're lucky ?

So, we're due some ass-kicking and sword-swinging, right ? I want to see Sho in action to save his future mate. Once Nico gets to D and powers him up, and Landyn arrives, the hunt for the evil Order can really take off. Rescue, hunt and kill is on the menu - with a few side-dishes of mind-reading.

Sigh, after reading this I realized I need to add another scene or two to my Anthology story and ramp up the ending (climax).

“What did you promise this time? To get your parents to agree to not only a sleep-over, but us sharing your bed, I mean?” Eric and I were lying next to each other on his bed and talking. We were both wearing briefs and T-shirts, and we had separate comforters covering us. His mom had stuck her head in to say good night, and I was amazed at her casual acceptance of me sharing Eric’s bed. “She did try to suggest I should get the cot from the basement, but I told her not to bother. We would

Aidan should realize his company would be more than pleased if he told them he was personally ensuring Heath didn't stray and fuck around. And he should tell them, he'll leave if he doesn't get a promotion and better projects in the future.

I read very fast, and I have an excellent memory (lucky me). Also, I don't have a lot of other interests or hobbies. But I'm not following that many stories and I'm commenting on even fewer. So keeping them apart isn't too difficult - although I sometimes have to go back and read a few chapters to refresh my memory if there are long intervals between posting.

You're welcome. I treasure every comment I get, and I try to answer every one of them.

I think it's a good idea for Jay and Mikey to act like role models for Finn and Lee. They'll be more likely to listen to them than their brothers. Including the younger boys in their group was a nice thing to do for all of them. Mikey may be embarrassed by the sex talk, but I think it's only natural for the guys to compare notes. And the fact that the most committed couple among them hasn't gone further than oral might take the pressure off the others. It was interesting how they all knew Benny and Cal was in a league of their own about physical matters. I loved the final part with Jay unexpectedly showing his vulnerability and fears. Good for Mikey to know he isn't the only one to worry. I'm sure he'll remember to reassure Jay in the future. The photography class was a good idea, once Jay had explained why, but I'm sure the boys can develop other interests together in the future. They both forgot to mention the car renovation project, and I'm sure there will be other science stuff they can bond about. Great chapter CG, and if it makes readers go back and refresh their memories about earlier events, that's fine.

Thanks, Lizzy. It was a wonderful surprise to wake up to all those chapter likes and this awesome comment. I have every intention of writing more chapters, but you'll have to be patient, as I'm currently writing on three other stories. However, while you wait you could read the other stories in the Viking Valentine series (Cupid Central by @aditus, my A.I. trilogy, and the joint story Aditus and I are currently posting).

that's a very good point. I'll make a note of the idea and see whether we can bring the A.I. team on board, somehow. No promises though.

I just saw this story on BBC: https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-birmingham-47750213 talk about life imitating art... although they were not beat up, 'just' robbed.

Your confusion about Theliel's age is understandable, since he looks and acts like a twenty-something year old. Aditus will have to confirm it, but my thought is that Cupids don't age or age very slowly once they've grown up. Hmm, interesting idea about involving Imp and Angel - but would they want to do Theo or Sablo a favor? This might depend on their opinion about being shot with silver arrows. Since that happened five years ago, at the beginning of Sablo and Theo's relationship, who knows what's happened with the A.I. team since then. - though five years may not have passed for them, since Theo and Sablo could have gone forward in time on their missions. Hmm, I'll have to think about this some more. Concerning what happened between Theo and Azrael, I'm sure they tell you this was ages ago and of little importance now.
