Very cute! I hope they have many dates in their future!

The tribunal really should come up with a verdict of joining forces to deal with what is actually behind the disappearing people.

Hmm... Phuong was so curious about the crisscrossing attractions in the group, so maybe she's not against the idea of poly? No need for Marcus to be into her or vice versa. Rhava could be the focal point.

No confrontation up front. That's good. Maybe there is an acceptable explanation for their actions?

Scary to be facing so much magic and not know what is going on. They'll need all their cunning and specialities to solve this puzzle.

Nice set up for the story! Looks like they are in for quite an adventure.

Way to go, Eric! Not giving up shows how much he's changed. It'll be fun to see him browsing the net. I hope the dark corners don't scare him off...

I sure hope the invaders don't have any nasty surprises in store. Because Captain and Kohen really could do with some... ehum... mobility exercises...

Sometimes, you need to get things spelled out for you plainly to take action. You can only lie to yourself for so long. Oh! The meaning of flowers hadn't even crossed my mind! Interesting. Maybe my subconscious was working here? Or I just named one of the few flowers I actually know...? And I think Ethan is right. Something is very wrong here... I'd like to think Darren found Ethan's nerdiness attractive in the beginning, but it could be the money... Not sure. I guess when I read the challenge being about a turningpoint, my mind went to the dramatic. It could have been something sweeter, but I tend to write about conflict (to a varying degree).I just find them more interesting. That was something I wanted to be the big difference; how Ethan trying to make things better ends up knowing the truth, while his apathy and indecisiveness string them both along for more of this unhealthy relationship. Maybe it's because I really don't like people not taking charge of their lives.

And that is hard to do sometimes. You can see the writing on the wall, but you choose to ignore it. It does appear a bit one-sided, doesn't it? Ethan is trying to explain his proposed change of destination, but someone has gotten used to getting what he wants by complaining... And I think that's pretty much how he is in this relationship. Not the biggest contributor.

Andy actually daring to offer a hug and Eric being willing to try it says so much about how far they've come together. Listening and keeping an open mind. Hugs aren't for everyone. I think that talk was like a mental hug for Eric.

More clues to what is going on. Fran is powerful beyond her years. Hope she doesn't find the trance scary, because that will give them the upper hand.

Claws in leg... Happy memories of my own cats. They always knew how to hit the absolute worst part. Good to see the kits playing, even after what they've been through.

I can only agree with the rest. Very surprising.

Captain has a plan! Better to keep moving than feel bad for letting Kohen get drugged like that. Captain must be kicking himself mentally.

I really enjoy seeing Prism grow before our eyes. I hope he gets to see Grim soon...

I feel for all three of Luca, Eamon and Adrian. Seems like Adrian isn't into sharing, and neither is Eamon. So a choice must be made. But what a choice! I'm curious if Ysabel will get the demon under control at all from now on? Or is she lost to the world as semi-sane?

For me, if you leave playful and head into heavy, then it's too much. At least in a restaurant. In a park or similar, I'd be ok with more. And I think I would say the same regardless of couple composition.

Happy to report I received the newsletter today. So perhaps a one time bug? At least for me.

I had an instant idea (slightly borrowed from the movie Sliding doors ;) ), so getting them together wasn't very difficult. I did notice, however, that I was having trouble keeping the stories aligned. While I was writing the second one, the characters morfed and I suddenly realized I had to tweak the first one in certain ways. So the characters continued to evolve, even in such short chapters. I wasn't expecting that to happen even if I do have a tendency to change names and such while writing... It would be fun if the challenge came back again, since I think too many other challenges happened at the same time. A repeat this fall perhaps?

“Sorry about last night, babe. See you at home tonight.” Ethan stared at his phone and sighed. Last night had been one of their worst yet. So many harsh and hurtful words spoken, their aim to hit the sore spots they both knew so well after three years together. Looking back, Ethan could hardly remember what set them off. Probably the usual, his out of control jealousy that had flared in the last six months. He knew it wasn’t fair to Darren, but he hadn’t been able to shake the feeling someth

It can be hard to shake the feeling that something isn't right in your relationship and jealousy can make your head spin all sorts of tales. But what is actually the truth?

His bond with Everett is protecting them both. That is sweet. And good to hear. Though I doubt Kohen will take it to heart just yet.

I saw this too today and thought of posting it. You beat me to it!
