    Early October

    Hey tim, thanks so much for your comments! If Toph's going to bloom, it seems it will be with art. Gary may have to be a spectator for a while.

    Thanks Parker! It's nice to see Toph beginning to shed his shield. Maybe Steve is what he needs. Gary seems to make him uncomfortable.

    Visible. This morning, as I left work, I said, “Good morning!” to the pretty boys entering. They smiled at me and returned the greeting. Not being invisible will take some getting used to. Arising, shortly after noon, I showered and prepared for the day, which was largely to be centered around Naomi. Of course, I visited her immediately after meeting Niles, to explain my seemingly superfluousness of names. That very day, while wandering about her shop I noticed a small sign. “Naomi, these cla

    Hey Def, thanks for your review and comments! You might be right about the sinister plan - and that corner trouble is waiting around might be closer than we think. yes that was a long, loving sibling moment, wasn't it Oh well, buckle up Def!

    Thanks for your reviews jess! I think David is beginning to feel more in control, which he seems to need. Josiah is a little bit of a wild card though. Is he alone in this or is it a chess move? We'll have to wait and see.

    Thanks for your usual great comments Parker! David DOES seem a bit more upbeat, and you seem to have caught some of the 'fun' sprinkled around. I mean, I wonder if Jeter realizes he retired twice About the sect. If Josiah was acting on his own, it's probably as you supposed. If he wasn't, then we may have a problem closer to David's suspicions. We'll have to keep a watch.

    Thanks for reading and reviewing jess! Things DO seem to be moving in the right direction, don't they? It only took 50 chapters ...hehe. Then of course we have the 'church' rearing its ugly head all over the place. I think David may need to bulk up to fight Goliath.

    What a great pair tim! They each whine to make their point, but daddy always wins! Like Gary, I thought the boy's last line was genius! You're very talented - and this was fun!

    I didn't say I didn't like it or I wasn't going to continue reading it, just didn't think it was what OP was after I mean WTF when a dragon cringes...

    Falling Apart is romantic?

    Thanks for your review and great comments Lisa! I agree the acknowledgement of love between David and his father is important, especially as he feels increasingly isolated and attacked by his (Tommy's) mother and the "Church of Everybody's Going to Hell." It will bear watching. Ginny seems to be drawing David into the big reveal, which he has pointedly expressed (and even to her) the desire to be nowhere around when it happens. Expect fireworks

    “Relationships based on obligation lack dignity.” -Wayne Dyer *** “I can run tomorrow, but don't bother picking me up for school. I have a doctor’s appointment in the morning. And I haven’t made it official yet, breaking up with Kathy. I’ll have it all figured out in a few days at the most.” “What’s the holdup?” “Greg. I’ve got to talk with him first.” Gary merely nodded, like it was old news. Mel and Kathy probably spent all day Sunday gossiping about me. Twoey called after my shower and

    YAY! CJ's back! You got winter off to a fine start with this chapter Carlos! Good stuff here, and well composed!!

    Great chapter Parker! A neat way to break the relationship to their friends ...hold hands In a way it's good the emotional scars are surfacing because Andy has kept them repressed because he was 'in transit' and their appearance means he's arrived. I'm no shrink but...

    Well said Gary, thanks for sharing.

    Thanks for the usual great comments Lisa! No mall, it's really rural where they live. David is definitely not going to be prepared for Sunday's meeting!! Matty's games ...hehe. In a much later chapter, we'll visit Cory's unbelievable house too. Somehow I can't see David's personality fitting into all these Mattinanigans

    Well done Dodger! Robbie is stuck with Alex, ready for a trip with Rory, about to embark on something with Nathan and, to top it all off, is about to expose his girlfriend to his boyfriend, or whatever Tom is now. This is intense

    Chapter 3

    skinnydragon commented on Nephylim's story chapter in Chapter 3

    This story is very interesting Neph! And very good.

    Thanks for the great review and comments Lisa! I think maybe once David spilled it all out to Ginny, it was lots easier doing it again for the shrink. A little more magic Ginny weaved with David. The David/Matty friendship is even more subtle when we realize Twoey has already had sex with Matty! I think back in the chapter when David went to visit the school psychologist (Dr. Snowbridge) he was confused to find Ginny, because their last name is Messer. She explained she uses her maiden name for her books and professional work. It was the only time it was mentioned, so it was easy to miss. Sorry. I should have mentioned it in at least one additional chapter to avoid the confusion.

    As spikey implied, this is only the beginning. Andy's new life will have layers of complexity which will be challenging. On the other hand, it will be interesting to watch him blossom at school, once the shadow Andy starts to dissipate. I look forward to all this Parker, unless you're going to be a prick and end the story with the next chapter!

    OMG tim! You snuck in a birthday while I was kidnapped? Happy Birthday dude! ...and here I thought all those decorations were for Christmas!

    Hi Lisa! Thanks for the review! It's odd that the more aggressive Kathy is meeting with the more aggressive fantasies. I think Def called it 'pushing back'. We hope these aren't the little tremors one feels before the volcano erupts. But something is certainly at work here!

    Thanks for these comments Parker! David has certainly been more honest with himself. Twoey also has been forced to confront things. Even coming out to Lanni showed a new resolve. You're correct about the worry what is conspiring against them, outside their view, is the pig in their ointment.
  25. skinnydragon
    Thanks Def! You're right, David is slowly changing, we can feel it. Twoey too. His thinking is changing. Now he has focused on David, instead of simply having a crush on him. If it only weren't for that "ominous undercurrent"
