I did read this chapter but seem to have neglected to review. Sorry.

This was total melt down. I got so emotional I had to take a break so I could process the rest of the chapter. Wow! What amazing parents! Almost unreal and certainly never come across any such in my life, but a lovely romantic fantasy I think. Whoah! Now Mickey discovers he's gay! I can hear a bunch of your readers partying now. My own desire had been for you to show how a close friendship between a straight guy and a gay guy could be possible. Ah well, I'm not writing the story. So is the next chapter the happily ever after?

Ģood to see K making some great choices and on the way to finding balance and restoration. Chet is great. I love the macho built guys but its a little over the top. We seem to have all these gorgeous hunky males that float around the gym looking like porn stars. Is anyone normal?

Such a deep examination of true love. Wonderfully moving as well as provocative. I'm reminded of "Maleficent". And I'm frequently in tears too. I was married (to a woman - I'm a gay man) for 40 something years. She was my best friend. I loved her too. In some ways it was an impossible love, but it survived the years as well as a two year separation. I part moved back in with her to care for her when she was dying. Just had to share that as your story is causing deep emotions to be surfaced. I'm so very interested to see where you will take Michael and Kendall. Thanks for writing their story.

To be honest I am struggling with the raw emotion here. This may be a personal thing. I think it is. My way of coping has been to deny and subdue my feelings, often at ģreat cost. But your story is making me confront my own feelings and wrestle with them. Ìts challenging. Thanks for writing. Disappòìnted at the goodbye here but very interested to see where you take us. I already love them both.

Wow!!! Could not resist a few extra exclamation marks after reading this incredibly powerful opening chapter and all the great reviews. I have always enjoyed reading your reviews and meant to check out any stories you might have. I knew that if they were anything like your reviews they would bè great. I'm not at all disappointed and looking forward to a really good read here. Thanks for taking the plunge. Well done!

You doing a great job. I'm loving the story. A great balance of humour and Iintigue and good character development. Diego is coming across as a thoroughly likeable guy. And the sci fi elements are lots of fun and imaginative.

I am really loving your story. I got thoroughly hooked and am falling for the main characters big time. I spend my time on the verge of tears cos my heart yearns for just such a world where one can be oneself without wondering whose going to throw some more crap at you. Thanks for such a beautiful story. Keep the chapters rolling!

By the time we get to the mall I think we will have forgotten why it was to be such a big deal anyway. You have become an absolute master at making much ado about nothing, or at least about very little. Lol. That's a compliment by the way. This chapter is another example of how you skilfully draw so much out of so little and make it so significant. Well done.

I really loved the balance in thus chapter between the banter and the seriousness. We see these man-boys more in their work roles even though they at play and that shows us a whole other side to them of the responsibility and the significance in the world the live in. It brings a deep respect for each of them. Also the acceptance and love of and for CJ is very touching especially from Papa. And CJ just fiys in so welk with this bunch of macho men. Its great. Love it. Beautiful. Thanks for writing a really great chapter.

Damn! My computer is broke and trying to write reviews on a stupid little tabscreen is so frustrati g. Wrote a nice review and lost it all. Sorry Carlos. And am in danger of losing this too so not goi g to correct but just post it with all the bloody typos. Just wanted to say I love it. I love the brash honesty of this and the openness on all matters especially the sexual taboo. Well done. And as u say for God's sake the young man is 15. He's not a child.anf he's with his dads too for cryi g out loud. As if they are goi g to expose him to something they dont think appropriate. Goi g to try and correct as its a typi mess. Lol.

Great stuff! Enjoying the story. The characters are great and love the interaction. The history lesson was very interesting too. I so enjoy reading all the reviews too - it's one of the great advantages of reading later. Thanks for writting.

Enjoying the story. Almost fairy tale prince here with everything laid on and no extravagance spared as it were. Wow. Way out of my league! Finding that hard to imagine. I will probably struggle with some of the cultural differences. Lovely to see the teasing relationship growing between them and what a great environment for a 15 yr old gay boy to find himself in.

That background makes the whole deal more understandable though it is hard to imagine CJ's childhood in such an environment plus Cesar's acceptance of it for his son. How come it has taken this long for an unhappy situation to be brought to an end? By the way I'm not in SA. I'm in Zimbabwe. Huge difference. Not quite repressive here but close to.

Just as expected. Brett is great. Love his humour. So our young man is in a wonderfully safe nurturing home. That is beautiful. Loved the banter about church. Lol. And sad to discover the mother also was totally unsupportive of her son. Regrettably one only has to see the stats regarding homeless teens to know that this is pretty common, but fortunately our young man is not in that category thanks to these beautiful dads. Lovely chapter. Enjoying your story. Thanks for writing.

Hi Carlos! Seen your name around plenty and decided to see what you writing, especially since I'm helping Jorgen together with you. I really like the opening. CJ's dilemma left me in tears, but the good side is having his dad who has opened his arms to him. Yeah, that crap from his step dad is really too much, but unfortunately far too common. Where I come from it's actually the norm - still live in the back woods! Lol! I agree with what Tim said about the mom too. Wonder what her case is as we've not met her yet. But it was also wise to get CJ away from the step dad quickly, so maybe she's not what we think. Will have to see. Can't wait to find out who dad's partner is who is already looking forward to the young man's arrival. Sounds like junior is in for another round of welcoming hugs. Lucky guy!

Yes, I can say it really does help to read it more or less in a sitting as you remember earlier bits a little better. When one reads a complicated story so interwoven with characters like this, it is very difficult to keep a handle on things when reading it a chapter a week or so. I feel almost like making a wall chart of the characters and the story lines. I think that way one can picture things a little more clearly. The wall chart would make a fascinating piece of art too.

A really enjoyable read. Such fun to see these youngsters enjoying each other's company and the teasing is so realistic, and funny too. Not sure why Rob should be targetted for a guy to pick him up by some of the readers. I don't think that will work at all. As Gary says, it's just so good to see a mix of straight and gay friends enjoying each others company so naturally, and being boys with their conversation and their ribbing. So nicely handled. Oops! Excuse the pun! Keep the chapters coming!

Is this the end of the Forum discussion? I can't seem to see another page beyond 8. Was glad to find why Rush was called Rush. Odd name! But such and endearing reason, Cole! Wow! You really are so sappy, it's wonderful!

Well done for posting! Great start! I didn't have an opportunity to comment before as we were concentrated on technicalities so it's great to be able to review. I'm not a great scifi fan but this looks good. I like all the suggestions of where this could go and the challenges it could raise. It looks thought provoking as well as imaginative. I also love your beautiful descriptions of the surroundings. You are no doubt a nature lover. And to top it all this is such an intriguing start and poses all kinds of questions that make us want to read on. The banter between him and Lisa is hilarious too adding a delightful comic touch. Thanks for writing and posting! And there are already a couple of reviews. Wow! Get ready for take off!

Noooo....! OMG! I can't believe Pete just said that. Has he any idea at all what it's all about? What kind of a dick head is he? I feel like I've just been put through the emotional wringer, following all Corbs ups and downs, and this has to be the rock bottom down. He's just been thrown off the cliff. I must say you do a marvellous job of stringing us along. A bit like Pete does with Corbs or maybe how Corbs does with life in general. It's a little exhausting all the ins and outs of his machinations. One can't help feeling a little in the end, even though you make us like Corbs, that somehow he gets what he deserves. He's quite happy to use and abuse others, but he really can't handle it when Pete sort of does the same to him, though I don't think for a moment Pete is using and abusing Corbs. Pete just doesn't seem at all able to deal with who he is and what he wants. But somehow its a little taste of your own medicine, Corbs. You want to dish it out to others, now take it yourself! And yet, one feels for Corbs. When he makes himself vulnerable he seems to really get hit hard. That sucks, just a bit! Well, you keep us wanting to see what happens next, so hopefully the next chapter won't be too long in coming.

Lovely. Delightful interaction between your characters which is both amusing and endearing.

Wow! Caught up already! I thought I would have all day reading to catch up, but seems I haven't been the only tardy one. Lol! Forgive me! Well, we seemed all set, but you have a really nasty way of putting it off again by intruding with a lot of side tracks. By the time the boys get to it we'll know every freckle of their friends and their lives! Lol! I'm feeling a lot more impatient than Eric and Nelson now!

Yes. Finally got there! Great chapter. This is a very appealing story. Tender and romantic.

Nice work as usual. Really enjoying ur story though never experienced too much of this as a teen as I spent most of my time at boarding sch. As a parent I was probably a nightmare and far too strict but my kids somehow survived. Love the way both families are interacting. A romantic ideal perhaps.
