All Oliver has ever wanted is for his brother to be safe, he just didn't know how to do it. And all Orel has ever wanted was for Ollie to be happy. Waaay back in one of the earlier chapters, he tried to share his most precious thing: Finn, with Ollie. I think Orel knows that Oliver needs to go, Orel doesn't need protecting, and if Oliver walks now, Orel will be just fine. It's Tarquin that needs Ollie. I do enjoy how the dynamic we expected at the start of the book is completely inverted by the end.

Well, as Andrew stated, if there is no other way, then that's Tarquin's fate. Justice will come for Tarquin, let's try things Orel and Finn's way first, then Will and Lisa's failing that, Andrew and Clovis's.

Chapter Twenty-Two: The Dress Rehearsal for Chaos The return to the Merrick manor was a study in thermal shock. The air in Finn’s truck still smelled of Aunt Jenny-Lynn’s bread-and-butter pickles, Steve’s electric-blue optimism, and the lingering warmth of a family that fought with its whole chest. But as they crested the hill and the wrought-iron gates of the Manor swallowed them, the temperature dropped ten degrees. It wasn’t just the cool evening air; it was the psychic chill of th

Thank you for your message, and I apologize for the offense caused. My intent was to describe disorganized data, but I now understand how using 'schizophrenic' in that context is harmful and perpetuates stigma. I have revised the chapter and will be more mindful in the future. I appreciate you bringing this to my attention.

His boyfriend is gone, a traumatized teen is hiding in his guest room, and a violent threat from his past is circling his home. To protect his makeshift family, the gentle law student must become the ruthless strategist his father once was, forging a dangerous alliance to dismantle an empire of hate—one bolt and one secret at a time.

Chapter 25: The Fairy Tale Offensive Location: The Spirit of Detroit (Campaign Plane), En Route to Orlando, FL. Time: 14:00 EST. Status: The Pivot. The conference cabin of the campaign plane had become a digital den of chaos. On the left monitor, a Fox News pundit—a man with a face perpetually clenched as if smelling something foul—was mid-rant. The chyron beneath him screamed: FAMILY VALUES UNDER FIRE: CARTER’S “MODERN FAMILY” A DIRECT ASSAULT ON TRADITION. On the right mon

I think Peter was in a bit of shock by that point.

You know that means you can't eat the donuts, or the pizza in Merrickville

well he is still available and he does *deliver*

they are ALL numbered within the world/series. The order is built into GA, if you go to the stories page, look next to the title, you should see it.

ok so here is Tarquin 1.0 and Axl 1.0 you will soon see why I changed tracks :
-
so what you guys don't know is that Axl was originally going to be who I paired Finn up with, before I thought Oliver, and then Orel kind of grabbed my hand and dragged me, willingly, down the path of the story we have. Trying to pair Finn up was... HARD there are like, seven drafts of this. here is Tarquin from the third draft of the story:
-
A subject for a much younger Andrew to investigate when he goes after the Northern Cross, Alistair Merrick, and the Montreal Pipeline. I haven't forgotten her, I just haven't developed her beyond knowing she's key to that plotline. I must admit I quite enjoyed writing Echo, it's fascinating to see a character I have written about for so long (over twenty years) have an origin point. Sorry I have enjoyed my day off today... getting warm again after getting drenched in Warwick (not as fun as it sounds) so I am enjoying hanging in the comments section, doing ma thang.

ok here's a bigger image, you lot are getting a sneaky peek so shhhh:
-
Axl is one of them, you'll have to figure out and read to discover the object of his attention.
-
I want to ask, but I think I'm just going to base Axl off of him.

So the next Merrickville book is :
