Cynus, great story, as was"Dreamcatcher", the related story on Gay Authors by Dabeagle. PLEASE, write and publish the story of what happens when Grayson goes back to school on Monday.

Aha! I knew there were at least three people involved! Hopefully what Gabe said will get Ryle thinking, and he will discuss it with the Captain. I did expect to see David, but not for a chapter or two-- good of you to keep us in the air like that. Keep up the good work, and please post the next chapter quickly.

Wow, Cynus, good work. I have to admit, I hadn't thought of the uterine solution.

It is obvious Ryle had to act quickly when he came on the scene where the men were raping, torturing, abusing, and who knows what else might have been going on behind the scenes. He did not have time to draw out their deaths, even though they greatly deserved it. Are the Captain and Ryle and Captain Jer sure there were only two people involved, or only two persons on the immediate scene? Hopefully, Stationmaster Deacon's investigation will reveal more. Good writing, though obviously painful. How will Meg figure in the recovery process for Gabe? Could one of the fighter pilots for the Starcutter have noticed anything that might have been helpful later on?

The second time I read this I chuckled through most of the last half. I am aware of a situation in Texas where a guy and gal, but much older than these characters, have been fake boyfriend/fake girlfriend to each other for probably at least 13 years. It really happens. They were being pressured to be "straight" by so many people they they decided to go out on regular "dates" to keep the people who wrongly believe only straight people exist off their backs.... I like these characters. Any chance of them going for 8 or 10 stories, Cynus?

Great work! Ryle can walk even more confidently now, and I predict that shopguy will have a drastic decline in business--very well deserved, too. It would certainly be a great thing if Gabriel and David could get together for old time's sake, and perhaps The Captain and David might have some profitible business together in the future. Who knows-- Maybe David happens to be related to Meg?

Very well done! Thank you.

Timothy, the last several chapters have been excellent, and the earlier chapters really good. I am very glad you have been using the "prompt" format in this story; it's working well for you. Referring to the discussinon in the reviews of the previous chapter, what about those of us who are on "Team Bi Rob?" As a bi guy whose orientation has been shifting more toward the bi/gay side as I get older (from a nearly all hetero orientation my first 40+ years), Rob might want to have some curiosity about a gay side of himself. Thank you for the warning that next chapters might be slower in arriving than this one. I will be happy to read what follows whenever you release the chapters.

Great story and each chapter has been very good. I look forward to many more chapters as more is revealed. I hope we will learn more about David, Gabriel's stepfather. While Gabe's mother was dying, did Gabe step in and do more than is normal for someone his age (at that point in his life) with regard to David's company? You somewhat hint at that near the end of Chapter 3. Have David and the Captain ever met in person? Or talked on video calls? Or had indirect business dealings with each other? Third, I started reading this story because of your story, "The Bard and the Prince." (I look forward to much more in that story, as well.) Since you like the stories of Craftingmom, I must somehow find time to look at those stories, as well. Fourth, I request permission to quote from your stories from time to time. How would you like the quotes credited? "~ From a story by Fantasyboy69" or "From the story 'Starcutter'" or "From a story by John Simth (or name of your choice)"? I prefer to quote by permission, and prefer to give credit if I can track down the source. Thank you for your consideration, and I ask you to continue the great stories. I hope to read more of your stories as my "real life" schedule eases up in a couple of months.

Oho, so Rob's girlfriend has told him she feels like exploring women, perhaps? THAT would certainly be a reason for Rob to hesitate-- I don't know if it is one of the Gay Authors prompts, but it could be -- "Expect the unexpected." Good work, Timothy. I'm looking forward to the next several chapters.
