Miles Long

In an X rated, depraved way this chapter was kinda sweet and as foul mouthed and crunchy as our heroes are they are just as adorable. Great job with the relationship arch, your writing just keeps getting stronger and more refined. Thanks for sharing it with us.

Marcus and Jacob are really coming into their own in this story. I'm impressed how you handled Marcus' reunion with his father, just enough to evoke the conflict but not overwhelm us. Nice work, thanks.

Hilariously explosive dynamic between our two maladjusted heroes. They will either be brilliant together or so toxic birds will grow third wings in their presence. Excellent beginning, thanks.

Too sweet. I love it when longing is finally realized. I could have read about Kevin and Jeff all day. Good work, thanks.

Stefan as narrator is a giant treat, tricky too given the season . There are so many things I could say from the highest high of the story being the shower scene in Chap 16 where JP washes Stef and makes him and anyone reading absolutely swoon, to the tragedy when Stef and Greg are victims of mindless bigotry. Then there's the intrigue when Stefan discovers Roger isn't all he seems to be and on to Stef's failure to protect his ward Armand and leaves him to his own adolescent devices in the clutches of Jackie Diamond, bad Stef, very bad Stefan, his fate is partially on your shoulders my friend. All of it ends with Stefan finding a stable and solid someone to merge his life with. Snoopy dancing all around. This is a fantastic addition to the CAP tales turning into more into the saga it has become and a great way to break away from the other two novels/books/stories. Thank you Mark Arbour and team for you truly wonderful work!

I had to wait to read this because I knew I'd be bawling mess. A poignant goodbye to a rich and wonderful character; I hope that Brad is able to find peace because saying goodbye and living goodbye are two very different things. Fantastic work, thanks.

Stef deserves every bit of happiness he's created and found with Greg. He's such a pure spirit, and his success has enabled his generosity to flourish. I'm happy for both our heroes and wish them the eternal HEA. Super work, thanks.

Of course JP flies down like the cavalry to take care of Stef and Greg. My oh my was my stomach in knots until Brad came and turned it all around. Stefan truly has transcended his early years by forgiving that young man. Great work, thanks.

Not cool Mark Arbour, not cool at all . Everything was perfect up to that, with the party, the teen angst and STD all clear, then you had to go and shoot Stef. Thanks for the kick in the gut you sadist .

Poor Armand, what Jackie did was low, not surprising but low none the less. He's better off with Stefan and now that Stefan is based in Malibu he can offer a lot more stability. Thanks for the update.

Elegant way to manage any jealousy Greg may have over Roger, who was all class with Greg. As awesome as Greg is I don't think he can handle a grey relationship like the one JP and Sam share. Greg seems too definitive and needs things to be black or white. Stefan and he are a good match and part of their journey will no doubt include figuring that out. Thanks for the chapter.

It wasn't hands and knees but it was probably as grovelly as Greg gets. Like I said before if not JP, then let it be Greg. Brad was such a sweetie when he was 11. Hurray for the forever man! Thanks for sharing.

WTF Greg you just invited Stefan to move in and now you decide "Oh now that Stef has actually made the move, I better see if I'm still in love with my college roommate Al." Serious dick move that requires hands and knees groveling. Glad Roger found his self esteem and that he and Stefan are in a friendly place. This story is better than candy, thanks.

If it can't be JP let it be Greg. They are equals in so many ways and complementary in others. Thanks as always.

Greg Anders is completely swoon worthy. Whereas Roger, we'll he has A LOT of growing up to do. As always, thanks for creating and feeding my CAP addiction.

Stef handled Brad's relations with Josh calmly and without undue histrionics. This is probably when Brad should have started counseling, but hindsight is 20/20. Jason is such a washy washy dolt sometimes and Stef is really patient. I'm glad Stef gave Roger a chance to explain, he's not my favorite of Stef's lovers, but I do like him and don't want him spiraling. Super great story, thanks.

Stef was a bit harsh. I understand he's hurt, but Roger obviously has issues and Stef is too loving to not at least hear him out. It's really sad how shitty Billy's kids turned out. More accolades for a great story.

It's amazing how JP is always Stef's night in shining armor. I am glad that something good, Jake going home, could come from Josh's unfortunate situation. I can't put the story down, it's just too freakin' good, thank you.

Tonto's back and feisty as ever; she is such a big part of the soul of this story. Big step for Stefan having Roger move in, it could create a lot of chaos. Fun chapter, thanks.

Stef's generous spirit is inspirational and he's right about carrying grudges, it's a lot of work with no pay out. It took a lot of courage for Roger to come clean, he deserves a second chance. Brilliant work, thanks.

This is one of my favorite chapters for many reasons including the love between JP and Stefan and the beautiful bonding between Stef and the boys, Brad especially. It even ends in a cliffhanger. Thank you for writing.

Stefan has the most amazing luck, even when bad things happen better things seem to arise out of them. Well crafted work, thanks.

I have to admit after last chapter's end I was dreading trouble around every corner in this one, so it was especially good to have a feel good chapter. Thanks.

Stef is money; he's such a great narrator. I love how he prefaces his tale of Roger woe with don't kill him JP, and he's only kinda kidding.

Stefan so much love is out there for you, you don't even know. Roger's angst makes sense, I was wrong his parents aren't sarcastic gems they're fast food crumbs in the back of an old AMC. Rhetorical question...Why is it a good idea for Armand to stay with Jackie? Thank you again Mark Arbour.
