Oh, Frank... What a way to live! I got a sort of Memento vibe about his struggle. Maybe he needs to get a tattoo or something across his body "Nets come once a week. Don't worry, they won't hurt you..."

What a heartfelt take on the shifter theme! That struggle to find a match and finding it hopeless... I'm happy Isaac found his mate even iF he was a bit surprised. The loon is one of my favourite birds. Its calls in the night is so very Swedish. The epitome of Swedish summer nights with the never setting sun.

Well, my mind is pretty easily influenced. Especially when it comes to Joel and Lucas. There is something new brewing, maybe along the lines of your other suggestions... But keep them coming, if inspiration strikes! Thanks for reading and reviewing!

Why yes.... Happy to oblige! Thanks for reading and reviewing!

Joel can be quite together as long as it doesn't involve him... I think he loves to be there for Mason, perhaps more than he had ever imagined. Thanks for reading and reviewing!

Training wheels perhaps...? LOL But that would mean a sequel very close to home. Not sure I'm up for that. Thanks for reading and reviewing!

Perhaps we'll see if they stay shy and quiet... I'm glad you enjoyed this sweet episode. Thanks for reading and reviewing!

I'm immune to pretty pictures. I assure you. There is no need to spend time on the Internet to find various delicious guys and send them to me... Hmm... Scratch that! Gimme gimme gimme! Joel can be very wise and mature, when it's not about him. To guide others is so much more comfortable. Lucas sure has a way of putting his foot in it. But he speaks first and thinks later. It's his thing. Thanks for reading and reviewing!

Don't over think it, would be my advice. I have two girls and it has become increasingly evident to me just how much pressure there is on them to be certain ways simply because they are girls. To counter this, I've tried to mind what I say and do from day 1, to show them men and women are just people and choose to live their lives in the way they see fit not based on gender. The message has to be adjusted to their age, of course, but the older they get the deeper our conversation get. I try not to dissuade them from being either girly or tomboys and instead try to let them decide who they are on their own. It's not easy, with all the "Girls/boys can't do this or that" going around. Your child is very young. Simply having these conversations with him, means you open his world and let him know it's ok to be whoever he wants. Maybe he'll grow up to be classic male, maybe not. Probably he'll end up somewhere in the middle. With you in his life, my guess is whoever he turns out to be he'll be openminded to other people and their way of life. You teach him that.

I know things have fortunately changed for the better and I hope no one thinks I believe the ratio of Holts and Gundersons are 50-50. Still, the less nice ones exist. A pity not all them face an enraged Joel to set them straight... I'm so sorry I missed your review. I try to keep up, but this one got away from me... And you have such delicious little ideas too! Must take them under consideration. I have to admit I first thought Green Card was something naughty... LOL Thanks for reading and reviewing!

Joel stepped into the apartment carrying a couple of bags of groceries. As he toed off his shoes, he noticed the place was quiet. Very quiet. He had expected Mason to be in the living room, playing one of his many games with the sound turned up high taking advantage of being home alone. The silence was surprising and to some extent worrying. “Mason?” He frowned when there was no answer. They had made plans to have an early dinner soon and then head over to the ice rink for practice. Had the bo

So, maybe now people will see the side of Alek that made Liam fall in love? Alek is trying to let Liam go. I don't think he's doing a very good job, based on his own reactions to Liam moving on. It must cut his heart to see Liam with Nathan. Choices, choices... Hmm... Reminds me of something. LOL

Ritch has come to realise he can trust Park, but I'm guessing taking things to the next level could make it all come crashing down again. Fragile trust, to be handled with care. So, easy Tiger! LOL

I agree with Tim. An unusual demon so far, but then again Vruu is a sweetheart (unless you get on his bad side...)... I'm curious to see where these two will take us. Su Yin might be small and young, but he strikes me as a survivor. Even if he surrendered to his fate.

Have you told her what you've written in the second to last paragraph? Sounds to me you don't feel abandoned, not only. You're angry too. Angry at the sickness for making your grandfather ill and your mother so sad. Angry at your mother for not taking care of herself and perhaps of you? In a crisis, our child within can take over and it's not strange if you wanted the safety of your mother, even if you of course understand she had to help her parents. Also, it sounds to me like you are hurting a great deal over the frustration and fear you've felt about your grandfather's quick passing. A year is such a short period to lose someone, especially to a disease like that, where you lose your loved one even sooner as their minds drift away. Maybe you feel he's the one who abandoned you and your mom? Maybe you wish you could've gotten more support from her since you were hurting too? It's not rational and you know in your mind she was already at her limit. Your heart nonetheless needed her. Don't be so hard on yourself. Talk to your mother again and try to explain all these conflicting emotions.

Seems I learned something today.

Marty is inching closer to actually telling people he cares about. I don't think it will be such a big deal. Leon might be surprised, but he seems to genuinely care for Marty. While I don't care for violence, Marty has the right to not have to back down and defend himself from abuse. It hurt my heart to think of Hrishi so afraid in that stall. And I do hope we get to share more of their first time... LOL

The ending came with a bit of a shock and horror. So sad to think about young people killing themselves... I can't even imagine how friends and family feel. Still, very nice to see Matt get along so well with his sister and for them to talk about their experiences.

Betrayal can make a person resort to desperate measures. But how far is too far...?

So do I! All that lasagna...

Moving on in life when it comes to education can perhaps make it clearer in his mind what he's supposed to do with the romantic side of life. I can totally understand how difficult it can be even for a grown man to make the choice to play pretend or be thrown out of the family. To lose everyone from your family in one go would be terrible if you are close.

Very cute story! Amazing it took them so long to see the truth, but love can be blind in more ways than one...

So Marty has a choice to make? I don't see him being able to hide this very much longer. Not wanting to either. A hard question to ask. "Is this a relationship?" Lays it all out there, when playing it cool is much safer. But Hrishi has a definite point.

Perhaps now they can talk with not only their bodies but actual words? Could be a welcome change to let them make some sort of sense of this insane attraction they have. Their connection runs deep, I think. Deepeer than they realize.

So Kiorl learned to let go and Lahja managed to step up. They met halfway and now eternity lies ahead. I wish them all the best! Thanks for sharing more of your demons with us!
