“What do you mean, you’re dating Death? And why are you suddenly listed as decommissioned?” Sablo stared at his brother, who was slumped over a glass of whisky. They were in a familiar human bar, but none of the few other patrons could see or hear them. Guardian Angels were invisible whether they were on duty or not. Not that anyone there would have bothered two cops having an argument in heated whispers, when they were alive. “I asked to be DOR’ed.1 Leave me alone.” “I never did bef

I was thinking 'Threesome!'

It's mostly that I don't know if I do it or not, rather than feeling the need to change it. I've never thought about it in relation to stories I've edited, so I can't answer the question. I look forward to hearing the replies.

for the explanation ( damn, now I have to go through all my stories looking for that)

I'm looking forward to reading the new story.

What are 'independent body movements' ?

Hi @Graeme you might like this sports story, even if it's cricket and not football. https://www.bbc.com/sport/cricket/47217002

Next to Iceland with the bird or is it Faroe Islands ? https://satwcomic.com/one-bird-in-the-hand Sweden is the strict one in front with a blue tie, and I guess Denmark is on the right, so the shy one must be Finland.

Which is something I learned reading Circumnavigation by C James.

Glad you got back safely. I've been reading about icicles and huge snow loads dropping from roofs in Norway (Oslo).

I enjoyed the breakfast scene so much, and I'm glad Shaun could see the similarities to having a relationship. Harley seems to be a natural carer and he likes being able to do physical stuff for Shaun (massage, fixing breakfast etc). In return, he's pleased to have Shaun's attention and admiration. I think they fit well together and hope they have a future as a couple.

And if not sleeping, at work. I see you found the blog review of Holding Back. I can recommend reading both the review and the story.

I was having a hard time keeping quiet about this, @Thorn Wilde It's been ready for a while. I'm like my Swedish friend, I'll read anything by our fellow Scandinavian, even if I didn't even know who Deadpool is. I loved the story just like her. It was probably more fun to see the Deadpool movies after I read Holding Back. I'm looking forward to a second read soon, and seeing all the and comments on the chapters. Hope to see lots of new fans there.

I'll leave that up to Northie. Did he actually talk to them ? I'll have to go back and check. But they're still not close friends.

Unless it's his own ? I'm sure the six people he knows can fit.

I'm sure Eric would love to be taken on a trip through half of England, but I think he'll be happy as long as there is a nice garden. You did mean to invite him to the wedding, right ?

That slow intimacy of sharing mornings with your lover is as good for Shaun's state of mind as the sex. Harley is a keeper, and I bet he feels the same about Shaun.

I don't know how I didn't find this story before. It was great and I liked Tucker being independent yet sensible about his relationship with Stelian. He knew the mate thing was true but he still needed some time to accept it. The fact he saved his mate's life helped a lot. For once I'm not going to clamor for more, I think the story is perfect the way it is.

As shocking as the assault was, I can't really say it was illogical. We may have ignored Alex' tendency to violence while he was playing nice as Robbie's friend, but he essentially raped Robbie the other times they had sex too. It was a nice fantasy that Alex could be redeemed, right along with Don's idea about Bible conversion. Unfortunately, I doubt Robbie will tell anyone and Don will simply assume they continued the fight after he left, and Robbie got his butt kicked by Alex. I'm pretty sure Sue will insist Alex leave the house, especially if she finds Robbie half unconscious and smelling of vomit. As a nurse (or am I wrong? But at least familiar with hospitals) she should realize Robbie getting punched in the head is bad news. And Robbie doesn't even have to say anything, since Don will provide the explanation for his state. I'm not sure it will be of any use for Robbie to tell the truth to his foster parents. He can save it for his therapist if he survives long enough to speak to one. I'm mostly worried this incident as well as the emotional hurt from the meeting with Nathan will send Robbie into the clutches of Mr Symmonds. But I sincerely hope you're not going down that path, it would be well nigh unbearable. btw I'm guessing Nathan and Robbie's talk has outed Alex anyway. Those girls in the mall are not going to keep this conversation to themselves, and we all know how fast gossip travels. I'd love to see Don's face if he's confronted with this.

Just one person reaching out and showing genuine interest can make all the difference in the world. Shaun has great understanding in some was, all he needs is some self-worth. Hopefully, Harley isn't content with a holiday fling. And Shaun is free to follow his heart, since he was ready to leave his old life behind in a much more radical manner.

Even though it was hard and soul wrenching I think Daniel needed this. He had to know which side the woman who gave birth to him came donw, so he can get his priorities and loyalties sorted. I'm glad his therapists helps him with the guilt and the ways he copes.

Nope, I didn't forget, but even if he's a dud, I don't think he deserves to meet Stuart. And if Wes is around the same age as our friends, he must be too old for Gloria's grand-nephew, who sounds like a teen.

Well, at least Jack finally stood up to Jimmy about his stupid behavior. Maybe there's hope for him yet.

I do my best to appreciate when readers point out plot holes in my stories, since they generally do it to be helpful. Luckily, my stories are not very plot heavy, and my editors and beta readers catch most of the problems. So, I'm more likely to be chided for lack of plot tension and unexpected story developments. It pays to be boring and predictable.

I may have gotten into a slight writing frenzy with Rob and Co, and I haven't even reached Prompt 722 which made my muse wake up and yell Rob ! I'm close to sending off a fourth new chapter to @AC Benus for editing. He's approved of the ones I've done so far, and this one has me chuckling at regular intervals. I hope you'll feel the same. Once I have built up a buffer and / or run out of First Line prompts I'll start posting. We might even arrive at the Prom before summer.
