Kitt

I cant believe it's been a year already! Happy Anniversary! May you be as happy 50 years from now as you are today and were a year ago when you first tied the knot!

You almost can't go wrong around here.

LOL Now you know why the outsiders were so enormous! Huge food supply in the skeeters!

Ok - I gotta say I don't think it would be good for Matt to be living in Boston WITH Wade - not yet. I do think it would be good for him to be in Boston with his own place, spend time with Reilly and Maddy, be around to help support Tiffany through the pregnancy, have regular contact with Wade and generally let things grow again. They have been through so much they need time to adjust.

This is gonna get interesting! And right near the end of Flux too. Thank you for a bright end to a long work week.

Good points - Neither Matt nor Zach have mentioned all of their extra curricular activities.

Do we need a satellite list of those who have had sex with Zach? Might be interesting to see how many overlaps there are with Will's list.

I don't hate kids. I don't even hate Twilight. It was a story that got teenagers reading and anything that does that is ok by me. I just hate all the hype that has grown around the movies.

I do believe Matt is right.

Asterisk!

If you want to dream about multiple births and names that become embarrassing later hope for twin boys and a girl. Then you can get Jacob, Edward AND Bella all turning Tiff's belly inside out with embarrassment!

Sure we can! But that doesn't mean we don't still like your stories. Honestly- I have to agree with every recommendation I have seen here - and since Comicfan will not toot his own horn I'll do it, his are great too!

I think that was taking "fresh seafood" a tad far! Did they rebuild and make the comeback from Katrina?

How about an * every time he revisits a dude from the past? Unless of course it gets to look something like TONY*******************************************************************

I usually refrain from reviewing a chapter mostly because I have the honor of being Sasha's editor. It gives me insight into the story the rest of the readers don't have. It also means that I am terribly prejudiced. But after reading some of the reviews posted on this chapter I am finding it difficult not to comment. This story is a little different in that Sasha is developing the main character a little bit more in every chapter. In his other stories his main characters tend to jump off the page during chapter one in full living color. Kieran comes off in chapter one as a completely self centered party boy that pretty much gets everything he ever wanted. When Robin didn't fall into line like the rest of the boys in his long history he was baffled, confused, and yes even angry. A snapshot, or series of snapshots, does not always give a full picture. We have seen Kieran in a limited light. But is there more to him? Aparently Calle thinks so - she trusts him with her three children. Developing a character slowly is just that - a slow process. Without giving away what is coming in the story, I would say be patient and keep reading. Sasha, you know my opinions on the story. We've had several spirited discussions on it! Let me publicly say I am enjoying it.

When McGreevy resigned his office I was probably one of the few people who thought he was making a mistake. No matter what anyone's opinion of his gubernatorial ability or lack there of, his sexual preferences should not have been a reason for leaving office. The only ones who had a right to bitch about that were himself, his wife, and his boyfriend! It had no bearing on how well he could or could not run the state.

So - let us try to look at things objectively. 1. We the reader are at a disadvantage in that we did not witness what if any discussion actually took place between Wade and Alex regarding Matt and his involvement in the relationship. We only see the snippets from each character as presented in subsequent conversations. a) Wade wanted to maintain a connection, both emotional and physical, with matt b ) Alex agreed c) What was actually agreed to is not clear. Wade understood it to be he and Matt, Alex understood it to be any combination of the three aparently. Just because a threesome has not yet occurred does not mean it is out of the question. Matt is sort of stuck in the middle trying to figure the whole mess out. 2. Based on Alex's comment that he knew Matt would be a good piece of ass, he had obviously considered it back when he was "wooing" Wade at the countryside estate. Once Matt had left for France there was no additional contact between he and Alex till the limo. Therefore he had to be thinking about adding Matt to the mix while Wade was still dreaming of an exclusive drama free relationship. 3. Wade went to France to "end" things with Matt. He did try, but the connection was too deep. Alex was supposedly doing the same with some lady he had been keeping company with. We have no idea if he severed ties with her, informed her of his involvement with Wade, or his intended involvement with Matt. For all we know the little lady could be sitting somewhere thinking Alex is off on a jaunt getting his schooling straight for September and waiting patiently for him to return. Now for the attempt to draw an objective conclusion. Wade loves Matt as evidenced by the fact he was unable to give him up. Matt loves Wade, as evidenced by his taking Wade back into his life in spite of the fiasco in Europe. Alex is the hard one to draw conclusions about. He wants Wade. He wants Matt. He manipulated things to get both. At the very least we know he is looking for what is best for himself, and that is not necessarily what would be best for Wade. This has the potential to be much more than just a relationship that has a specific exception to exclusivity. I see the possibility of a damned Gordian Knot! We already have Wade's misconception that Matt's involvement would be with him only. We have no information as to whether Alex did in fact break things off with the lady, or if the lady was meant to be another exception. As part of the British aristocracy he will be expected to marry and produce heirs. Will the lady be the momma? Will she be tolerant of a relationship with Wade and/or Matt? We do not even know if Alex and Wade actually agreed to being exclusive with specific exceptions, just that Wade had the impression that was the way of it. We do already know he "misunderstood" the Matt exception. What else may he have misunderstood? And then of course there is the fact that Tiffany will be a mother again soon. How will Alex react to his princess (Wade) or his whore (Matt) becoming a daddy? I suppose we will just have to wait and see. Flux may be winding to an end - but the story obviously goes on!

Cole, the other day you suggested to Sasha a song that might inspire him and he is now off and running with the idea. ( He says thanks BTW). Do you ever take inspiration from song titles or lyrics?

Maybe it is a little bit of all of the above?

Just in case I don't get here during the live chat later... You have very inventive story ideas, like Substance P. Where do you get your inspirations? Do they just come to you or do you have to dig to come up with ideas that intrigue you?

May get interesting when he realizes Matt and Wade tell all. That's what he gets for not keeping his worlds separate!

I just wonder if Alex actually expected Matt to keep the fact they were together from Wade?

Grandma Brenda almost has to have SOMETHING to do with this, even if it is a ploy on Zach's part. Didn't Zach fire Barry back during the big blow up about football camp vs European trip? I can't see a new adviser being this far out in left field, seeing as I am sure Will would have had a hand in choosing the replacement. I suppose we will have to wait and see who the religious nutcase influencing Zach is, why Zach is participating, and if they have actually gotten into his head or is he using the zealots as a sort of beard. After all - they had discussed the idea of church involvement being a good excuse why he doesn't sleep with a bunch of gals, and would certainly hide his attraction to the male anatomy.

Oh my! This may get interesting. We haven't really had a case of religious zealotry since Robbie cut ties with his mom! Now the million dollar question. Is this something Zack has suddenly decided he wants, has he been brainwashed, or is there some tactical ploy behind this evenings behavior? I can hardly wait to see where you take this one! As usual a fantastic chapter to accompany my morning coffee and the sunrise on a Saturday! Thank you.

I've been here over a year now, and have started editing for several authors. I can honestly say I have not yet read a story I disliked. Some were a bit outside what I prefer, but none were so far off the mark that I did not enjoy them.
