Ha, Tabby shares the affliction.

I am always wary of mainstream BL stories. It runs the same gamut of Brokeback mountain. A gay film written by a straight woman, directed by a heterosexual man, starting heterosexual men playing gay. I just... it just doesn't sit well with me. It's just not my thing. It smacks of projected fantasy to me. (that and BB mountain was as dull as watching paint dry) I avoid Heart stopper, and Heated Rivalries for the same reason. (this is a personal opinion and in no way an indictment against these shows.) There are many, many, many authentic stories told by us, many gay/lesbian/queer actors and directors.... let us tell our stories. I don't know... just my thought on the issue.

The architectural style is called : Brutal-ism... I think it sums things up well.

It's a trip, I've honestly never attempted something like this, so I am interested to see how it works.
-
Tabby's a vibe, and a McCormick, so thus a definite thing...
-
I know, this was not my best work... I swear I was only a little drunk when ... ok more than a little drunk.... when writing it

This is a nice, cozy, love story... much to Alvin's annoyance, and Tabby's amusement.
-
It worked!!! It's live... it's correct... omg anyway welcome to Tabby and Alley Cat.

**Chapter 2: The Plumbing and the Pond** Alvin Katz awoke to the certain knowledge that he had, at some point during the night, been used as a percussive instrument in a particularly aggressive polka band. Every muscle protested as he shifted on the floral-print couch, which had revealed itself to be a master of deception. It looked like a cloud but felt like a sack of potatoes arranged over a series of small, sharp rocks. A crocheted blanket—a riot of yellow and orange with smiling

Chapter 1: The Doily Dungeon and the Feral Gardener The lawyer’s office had been bad. Ms. Patel, a vision in razor-sharp pink pleather, had spoken in legal riddles, smelled of aggressive espresso, and brandished his grandmother’s will like a holy text that condemned him to purgatory. But this… this was a whole new level of hell. Alvin Katz stood on the uneven cobblestone path, his favorite battered skateboard tucked under his arm like a security blanket, and stared at

Ahh Granny's got a plan for her little Alley Cat. Alvin must navigate the diabolical machinations of a woman hell bent on getting him out of his rut. The trouble is, it involves a certain gardener named Tabby, while dodging the attention of the Higgins Clan and navigating the web of twisted games that spans the entire town. Will he survive with his bachelordom intact, or is he doomed to a happily ever after fate half baked into a Hallmark nightmare?

I am reminded of the Chris Cornell song for Casino Royal. Save yourself, because no one here's going to save you.

Especially in the late 90's... place was about as close as you could get... with a side order of desperation thrown in for good measure

Kieran is a psychological study, we're about to see a man unmade and remade. This story is an exploration of Power, control, and dominance in a place that borders on hell.

Even I get things wrong, good catch. need to edit... stuff...

Well that launch went all kinds of wrong.... I swear the GA publish button HATES me.... Now this one, this one's... different than almost anything else I have written. It's dark, psychological and the next chapter which was supposed to go live with this one will go out this afternoon.

# **Chapter One: The Refuse of the Nation** The mattress smelled of someone else’s nightmares. It was a singular, pervasive scent—stale sweat, damp wool, and the distinct, copper tang of dried fluid that Kieran refused to identify. He lay on his back, staring at the ceiling of the bedsit, tracing the water damage with his eyes. The stain looked like a map of a country that had sunk into the ocean. *Atlantis*, he thought, his mind reflexively reaching for the classical reference before

# **Chapter Two: Scavengers and Kings** Hunger was a different animal to fear. Fear was sharp, a spike of adrenaline that made your hands shake and your heart race. Hunger was slow. It was a heavy, dull ache that sat in the pit of the stomach and radiated outward, turning limbs to lead and thoughts to sludge. It was a patient, grinning companion that pried open your ribs and whispered that you were just meat, just a bag of needs. By the time the sun began to dip behind the brutalist s

A university dropout is brutally shoved into the concrete hell of Cradle Grove. Targeted and destitute, Kieran’s only path is scavenging and shame. Then Ben, a terrifyingly silent force, saves him from a beating. A protector? A predator? As bodies start to fall, Kieran is thrust into a savage new hierarchy, where survival means embracing the violence and dark loyalty of a world that wants to destroy him.

wooo Carter-verse deep dive into Lore! Happy Christmas morning. When did I get lore?

Andrew was accused of murder for the Louisiana compound and Doctor Hale. (Enrico's doing, but Andrew was blamed) He is also reported as dead. The President also ordered his extrajudicial killing in the Oval Office, which is recorded. To Admit Andrew is alive is a very dangerous thing for the President to do. So as far as the US is concerned, Andrew Carter CSIS DDO is dead. However Lt. Commander Carter is a completely separate person (created for the BREACH mission in 2015. And maintained because the British Navy pinned a medal on him) As far as the US are aware, they are two separate people. Convenient for Carter.
