If by second chance, you mean forgiveness: my morality says that one can be forgiven, but that is not the same as forgetting what was and not putting oneself in the position to be damaged again - on either part! Adrian, Nick, and Bobby could all very easily fall back into former behaviors gradually. Adrian's consequence is to move on from these two, whether living alone or maybe establishing a healthy relationship with someone else (though I'm not sure that is possible). Bobby's stopping by to see Nick at the book signing after several years' absence is a positive sign, but not one that should result in their being together necessarily.

After @Seraph28's erudite comment, all I can say is that you have certainly delved the depth of these humans in such a way that forces the reader to question the limits that we put on ourselves. Adrian is the most narcissistic individual I have ever encountered. Yes, he did hollow out Nick and Bobby, but Nick allowed him to do so out of "love" - he did love Adrian, and it was the most unrequited love that could have been. That he was the abusive father to Bobby to an extreme degree is not questioned; the only question is - Can Bobby build a positive life for himself from the void left by Adrian? This last paragraph hints that Nick knew he had to leave Bobby in order for that to happen. This is one very powerful tale!

Gray has lived in his own isolated world for a long time. Matt is challenging and, hopefully, helping to tear down the walls that Gray has built up. Vince and Gray are developing a very wonderful relationship!

It is my hope that this all turns on Wencel! He's a bottom-feeder with nothing to claim as his own, much due to apparently his father. I hope Jamie deals very succinctly with Wencel. Maybe now Hearst will finally reveal himself to Jamie! Good drama!
-
Calm chapter, yes, but I'm waiting for some unexpected events! I hope they include Tony's brother and sister showing up! It will be great to see the reemergence of Ben and Samantha! Let the party begin! Oh...and let's hope good news comes soon about the house!

Noah is definitely living out what so many like him lived through in high school/college and wish they could return the "favor" to their tormentors!
-
Leon's bedroom will definitely need a complete makeover to keep him from reliving this nightmare...perhaps the family might need to even change residences. I totally believe the psychic connection between Leon and Stephen! There is no need to worry about Uncle Mark anymore! All the Zamoras can finally live without that fear! A very powerful chapter @Lee Wilson and very well done!
-
More than anything, their doing activities together which expanded their interests and knowledge brought them together even closer! I am continually impressed with Toby's level of empathy and maturity. I might well enjoy that vegan restaurant - not my first choice in restaurants, but a delightful change of pace for my own choice of cuisine.
-
I'm so glad that they did not think of these zombies as their former neighbors, friends, family, etc. That they are building a new life and a solid community is showing by how well they work together. Each is amazing in their own way! This plan worked well, but I do agree with @centexhairysub: there is still a strong element of the unknown.
-
Harry is really doing his best for Tony as well as himself, lol. Still, he has a strong emotional connection to Tony. It is exciting to see what is going to happen with the new project. Likewise, it sounds like there might well be positive movement on the house! Now off to the party!

All Is Not Well In Columbus, Either
pvtguy commented on Lee Wilson's story chapter in All Is Not Well In Columbus, Either
I do wonder how Mel came to be so homophobic. What happened at the dance with Mel and Sandy would have been dealt with more severely (perhaps it was, but was not germane to the story at this point, I guess) but would have occurred when Mel made the slur against Stephen and Michael in the district where I worked. Police would surely have been involved. Now we have another matter to worry about: Uncle Mark.- 24 comments

South-West France, sonatas & sex advice
pvtguy commented on Robert Hugill's story chapter in South-West France, sonatas & sex advice
The family ties are getting stronger. The openness about all things about their individual lives is adding to the level of trust among them all! A very delightful, but revealing, chapter! -
Tony has the beginning capital to get this started, but it takes a lot of work to get from idea to reality. I do believe Mrs. Reynolds will go for the idea. And now, on to the party!!!
-
I love that you presented two aspects of lifestyle, not sexuality; both are gay, but each made a different choice as to how they wanted to live their life. It may take the institutional church a much longer time to come to a more receptive position in regards to who one loves and stop making up rules for God.

Michael and Stephen are coming along quite well in the area of confidence. The swim mates are going to be good friends and positive influences Gavin was truly lucky. We'll see if his contrition holds. Jeff is going to have a hard time until he truly learns personal discipline. I do hope the GC will be able to help him deal with his impulsive behaviors. Brodie is going to have a much more difficult situation to deal with.

Very good chapter! I enjoyed the crossover with Ralph and Nolan and the twins. After all, Parborough is a small town! I continue to be impressed with the relationship between Brian and Toby: Toby is very mature for his age due to the openness with his father and the ability to discuss anything! I do want to know what's really going on with Deidre - her distancing herself is interesting.
-
There was a dose of a reality in Arthur's words, but not the reality Jamie wants for his life. Jamie did stand up for himself and has really started to confront some hard thoughts. His talk with Melinda seems to bolster his beliefs. A really wonderful chapter!

Things are moving along quite well. Matt is going to help with the media production and Harry is going to continue with his work. Aaron and Tony are getting even closer. All is good. Now for the party and getting Tony's siblings together!
-
I, too, am impressed with the strengthening relationship between Vince and Gray! They are "tango-ing" very well! Also glad to see Vince and Peter wearing down the rough edges to strengthen their relationship. Change is very difficult for a lot of people - perhaps all of us who have become comfortable in our lives. This is at once a very calm chapter but also a very thought provoking one!

[Memory, Freshman Year, October] – The Extra
pvtguy commented on Laura S. Fox's story chapter in [Memory, Freshman Year, October] – The Extra
Of course you will. I would expect no less from your wonderful style of writing! -
Aaron has to learn to harness the "green monster" and trust Tony fully. Still, Tony has to completely fill him in on all the details of the contract. An easy chapter, all in all, but important too.

Gavin's Idiocy and The Village People
pvtguy commented on Lee Wilson's story chapter in Gavin's Idiocy and The Village People
I wonder what Gavin's parents are like? He was certainly not raised in a vacuum. I wonder if they will make an appearance when/if he goes before a judge at Juvenile Court. Stephen is finally feeling that wonderful experience of belonging! A very positive chapter for sure!- 25 comments

I am also very sad when a good story ends/stops. However, I am hopeful for future stories which will be as engaging! This story has been a wonderful journey of growth in individuals and understanding the making of a relationship of three's.

I would hope that the new "asshole" would relieve him of lots of his assets so that she could not only take care of the kids and herself, but also use his precious money to help fund the Liberty Foundation!

Chapter 13: Metamorphosis: Part One
pvtguy commented on FV2112's story chapter in Chapter 13: Metamorphosis: Part One
Just where are the adult monitors on the school campus? In all my years in education, 39 in high schools and 8 in middle schools, I was always on duty somewhere around the school before, during and after! Brock et al would find themselves in police custody! I do hope his parents press charges!
