That's right, maybe everyone was thinking Ethan but it was Ira and Frank. But their code was disabled. Right? I think I remember Percy saying that. Everyone hates that poor guy. All he did was jerk off in a towel, try to seduce Percy in a bathroom stall, then when that didn't work he tried with Five, and was successful until Percy's magic ass convinced Five to put the brakes on. And he wouldn't risk blowing a multiple million dollar deal, right? What's the saying, beware the woman scorned? That would make sense why Percy was allowed to move around freely but poor Five was brought to the floor.

We've talked about this before, and we are both in agreement. I have tried to pick out those moments that moved the story forward instead just sex for sex sake. And I think this was the most important one in terms of how these two see each other moving forward. Five showed his sub side, or at the very least his bottom side. And Percy realizing that his dream, his future, would mean nothing without having love in his life. And the thought of giving up someone he loves for a maybe, is just stupid. For once, they both accepted the truth. Good on Five for not deflecting or running away. Though when Percy declared no more pretending, Five was finished as well. I tried to talk him out of it, but Five is stubborn. Who ever heard of a breakup gift? No one, that's who. Ridiculous. So I had to have twins because of the Fabulous One, she had twins, so I had to have twins. And in the other version, they have a much bigger role to play in the story. And you are dead on in my reasoning. That they are now committed to each other. Five has showed his willingness to have a more open relationship, and Percy, before he stopped pretending, flirted with Ethan and in a version did the nasty in the hot tub the first time they met. Percy doesn't like to share what is his. Or has Ethan always been there? Isn't there two pistols somewhere in the house? I know it's been chapters since I mentioned them, but they never were put away. Ethan could have always grabbed one of those.

I agree. This was long enough. So far the guesses have been Ethan, and Michael. Do you have a guess?

hahaah. I really didn't remember a Michael. In the original draft he had a different name. I changed it last minute. That's funny I don't know my own story. I'm a mess.

I thought you liked killing off characters? In my quest to emulate you, I figured I needed to kill off a character in a Christmas story. . Cause nothing screams Christmas like a good old fashioned murder!

Um, who's Michael?

Poor Ethan, always getting a bad rap. Everyone hates Ethan. I wonder if you are correct. We'll see in the next chapter.

Number one, there is no sex in this chapter. What they have transcends sex. . Number two, most of this chapter was written months ago now. But this is the chapter when the two different endings diverge, so I had to be careful none of the elements that led to the other ending was still present. Number Three, I had to give a payoff for the whole bet, right? Number four, I can now say, all sex is over. Unless I switch my mind and give you the other ending. Which I am still waffling on. Luckily I wrote both of them so I can still change my mind. Number Five, I can't change my mind, I am fully committed to this ending with the line, no more pretending, ever.

Percy was naked, his elbows resting on the back of a chair. His eyes were closed, and his hair stuck to the back of his neck. He was also making the cutest little moans and yelps as he rocked his hips back and forth against the wall. That had been the sound he heard. Each time Percy moved forward, the chair came up on two legs. And when he moved back, the legs smacked against the tiled floor. He must have retrieved little Five from its hiding place. Percy must have sensed him, becaus

Whiskey Yellowstone is one of my favorites, easy sipping whiskey. No ice or mixer needed.

Um, this sentence could very well be in any story I write. It's very...suggestive for a proper Canadian. The FO must be rubbing you of off on you. *typos*

And this sentence sums up why I have a slight crush on your wizardness... This is good nose...I have actually read this story two or three times. If you were in SF, I'd host you at my restaurant. Though you'd have to give me your autograph to hang on the wall. A small price for the best wings you'll ever eat!

You think you're pretty funny, huh? Did you have that loaded in your back pocket just waiting for an idiot to ask about you? . My tongue-n-cheek questions you already answered elsewhere. Even your preferred undies. Boxer briefs? *cough* top *cough*. Excuse me, throat. Though it is suspect that your profile, under about, says you are 48. But we don't know when you typed that, that doesn't get updated every year so I'm still not sure if I should call you sir. I'm 51, and if you are currently 48, I shall like to be addressed as sir by you moving forward. Thanks. As for your lack of answer as to your favorite Christmas story way back in 2014, I'm a bit hurt that you didn't say Frosted Hearts or Christmas In Glacier Bay. Both stories feature MM, I'm just saying. I forgot that you wrote a Harry Potter story. I remember liking it a lot, though I am not a Harry Potter fan. Are you ever going to get around to finishing that? See, I can be cheeky too! I shall count my blessing that you failed to answer one of my questions as you might reconsider your decision. I'm off back to work. I have hot wings to cook!

And yet we know nothing about him. Like when is his birthday? What's his favorite color? Boxers or briefs? Why does he allow me continued access to this site? I'm not sure if it's been done, but maybe our fearless wizard should do one of those interviews where we get a bit of insight into him. And if he's done one, maybe an updated one. I want to know if I'm older than him or if I should address him as sir? The universe needs to know.

This isn't the best gay film, but it always stays high on my list as it was the first one I ever watched. The second film was another UK production, Get Real. Which I liked slightly better as the lead is scrumptous, nerdstar. In the 90's, America was far behind other countries in producing queer films. Much like today, still far behind. Though UK gave us Heartbreakers, so it's not all sunshine and roses over there.

I bake all the time. Four hundred cookies a week. I also do a pineapple upside-down cake, in a cast-iron to caramelize it before finishing it in the oven. Baking is too easy though, I prefer cooking to baking. Baking is following the recipe, so easy and boring. I prefer to be creative. I once dated a baker, but I had to break up with him. He was always trying to get a rise out of me. Spring is my least favorite time of the year, I prefer fall, when we can start to wear all my cute coats and hats to hide my poor bald head.

That's good nose.

It's not the data I was originally looking for. But this informs my assumption about who is reading. Since you already ruined my slight crush I had on your avatar, I shan't make any remarks regarding my current feelings for our resident wizard. I shall only say thank you for continuing to check. Maybe I should put up a poll regarding readers, their habits, when they started reading, how often they read currently. I guess what I was interested in finding out, how many of GA members picked up reading at a later age which might explain why our younger members have a small representation. Or is reading going the way of the past and in thirty years no such sites such as GA would exist. I'm also curious about how many younger members might not read but instead opt to listen to books via Audible or other such platforms.

Thank you Myr!

Probably not the right place to ask. But I have been searching for stats on readers by age group and/or location. Is that something GA tracks? This is me wondering how many younger people even read anymore. And if this isn't the place, I apologize in advance. Thank you.

So I'm assuming since I couldn't find it, the place to post the links for your submission isn't there yet. Because I tried to find it and could not figure out where to post the link. First poetry thingy I think I could participate, pretty happy about that.

Considering that Percy has been the one saving everyone else, it's only fitting for Five to finally start pulling his weight. . Lazy bastard.

Number one, great idea. I did think about that. But I also kind of need all the players for Christmas In Glacier Bay three. .

I think it's about time those two idiots stop playing around.

If I ever update or revise this story, there was more I had planned for this triangle, but it involved following Bethany in Glacier Bay and this short story ballooned enough already. I left a bunch of things on the floor with Bethany.
