This one made me smile. It's genuine, it's true, and it's cozy. I had a nice cup of warm tea, feet up and read it. Enjoy the stellar work from a very talented writer who will bring you back for more. I'd love to see more of their work

The Ivory Fig Ceremony
Topher Lydon reviewed BendtedWreath's story in 2026 - Forbidden Knowledge Secret Author
In this enchanting tale, a human boy’s chance meeting with a silent, golden-haired stranger blossoms into a lifelong bond of quiet affection and shared summers. As Matthew grows, so does the mystery of his elusive friend Finn. The story is breathtaking. With a gentle blend of magical realism, poignant romance, and bittersweet longing, the narrative explores love, sacrifice, and the discovery that some connections transcend mortal boundaries. A beautifully woven, heartwarming read. The author is highly skilled, and worth the read.-

Captivating, /The writer's skill is impressive, magical and deeply resonating.

oh man, I never noticed I did that... I get names stuck in my head and I get stuck with them. Like having two Roberts in Asset.

This isn't your typical coming-out story—it's a raw, unflinching punch to the gut wrapped in magical realism and dark humor. The writing crackles with wit and self-awareness, the Sydney setting is vividly atmospheric, and the curse that forces him to speak his truth creates both hilarious and heartbreaking moments. It's messy, uncomfortable, and surprisingly tender—a story about what happens when you can no longer run from who you really are.

I wrote none of them... or I wrote all of them... I think I wrote something, not sure what though... -
i am not a vegetarian Vampire who sparkles and drives a Volvo. Lucas: You kinda are... you have a sparkling smile, you haven't eaten since I met you... and you *could* drive a Volvo! Andy: Shut up and back on the rowing machine, I demand Abs! Lucas: You're the worst. Andy: Mush!

Chapter 9: The Oakville Ambush
Topher Lydon commented on Topher Lydon's story chapter in Chapter 9: The Oakville Ambush
I am AWAKE, this is fantastic, I've been drowsy for a week, this is just what I needed. Happiness is having to re-colour co-ordinate my kitchen around a new RED appliance (I was Black and chrome... with gold) ahhh this is much better.... I wonder if I could pull of a diner theme. (shrugs gotta spend Falcon Banner Royalties on something) -

My espresso machine arrived today... I have just brewed my first cup. Ahh this is going to save me a fortune ordering coffee every morning at ridiculous o'clock. -
Poor Lucas should never have shown Andy those pics, now he's going to have to work out with Werewolves, much to Marty's great amusement.

07 The morning sun was an aggressive, cheerful yellow, beating down on the suburban asphalt with an optimism that Andy found personally offensive. He was a creature of the night, a 300-year-old apex predator who had spent centuries swathed in the comforting, blood-soaked shadows of European history. He had navigated the cobblestone streets of Victorian London, the gaslit alleys of Paris, and the smog-choked nights of the Industrial Revolution. Now, he was driving a rusted, beige-and-b

Chapter 9: The Oakville Ambush
Topher Lydon commented on Topher Lydon's story chapter in Chapter 9: The Oakville Ambush
Or just not give a damn. Derek is one of those guys, I get the feeling, that sees a job and tackles it. Not for the moral aspect, but for the challenge of it. i've known Lawyers like it, the more complex, disastrous, and doomed the case, the more intriguing it is to them. How do I beat this, how do I win. Andrew's walked into his world, and Kellerman's found someone interesting that he can relate to. -
Chapter 9: The Oakville Ambush
Topher Lydon commented on Topher Lydon's story chapter in Chapter 9: The Oakville Ambush
It's funny, Andrew's always been a bit of a loner. He's friends with Jared, but not as close as Jared and Will are. He and Brody always had a friction to them. Lisa and Andy tolerate each other, but it's not exactly warm. Will's been Andrew's best-friend as much as he has been his lover/partner. Even much later, it's West that seems to get Andy the best and even then that's beer in the garden of their house, and still the two of them don't exactly pal around. So through the four years total 2001-2005 (Carter's Duty through Carter's Recourse) Andrew's fairly on his own. Kellerman giving him advice, and being that friend that Andrew needs is a good beat. It saves Andrew from making some really bad decisions, such as proposing to Will for the wrong reasons and at the wrong time in their lives. -

We get a lot of Andrew the Spy, what I wanted with this one was to show Andrew the Lawyer and how Kellerman is shaping him. -

Andrew's idea of heaven. The world's biggest garage... somewhere Will is groaning and hauling himself over there so they can have an argument and then end up in the back seat of a mustang. Good morning, I'm up early... let's see what trouble I can cause today. -
The 2005 Mustang MULE was not a car meant for civilian hands. It was a concept prototype, an engineering test-bed that had somehow survived the crusher, a raw, unpolished beast of a machine that vibrated with a barely contained, violent energy. It had no sound deadening in the floor pans, no luxurious creature comforts, and a heavy clutch that required genuine physical effort to engage. It was loud, it was aggressive, and it demanded the complete, undivided attention of whoever sat behind the wh

I am contemplating how heavilly to lean into the jokes... I admit I am finding writing this one to be a bit of a break from the usual melodrama and whacky... this one's just easy comedy... I've also been writing a strange story about an English Street gang. Which is going rather well. Lot's of short stories lately, again, it's my way of stirring the pot and seeing what works and what doesn't. I did this at Christmas, but with decidedly more Bailey's.... mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm coffee.... I also bought myself a new present:

I mean, he did get the biggest predator in the woods... and earned his pack status... so half-time at the game wouldn't be much of a stretch.... I am amused at how much Lucas dating Andy is doing for Lucas's street cred. He's earned his strut.

06 The forest was cold, damp, and aggressively, unapologetically woodsy. It smelled of decaying pine needles, wet, loamy earth, and the distinct, musky tang of wild animal life—absolutely none of which appealed to Andy's refined, hyper-urban sensibilities. For three hundred years, he had perfected his existence in the shadows of great cities. He was a creature of cobblestone streets, of thick London fog, of gaslit Parisian alleys, and neon-drenched modern skylines. He thrived

Chapter 8: The Lust of the Eyes
Topher Lydon commented on Topher Lydon's story chapter in Chapter 8: The Lust of the Eyes
Jason is struggling. At least Andrew now knows what he's struggling with. The question becomes, how long till Marcus finds out, and what Merrick will do with this information.
