You've been a great friend.. I'm glad that you like this. Thank you for leaving a review and I so appreciate the encouragement.. Def...

Kind words from a Dragon.. Very much appreciated.. Thank you for reading and the review SkinnyD.. Def...

The Carol prompt feels so long ago. That you remember, makes me happy. Funny that this is also a musical prompt.. Hmm. Thank you for your enthusiastic review Drew. Your kind words and support mean so much.. Mama...

My first review of my first official posting. We will always have this moment. Lol.. It didn't hurt too much. Thank you for a lovely review Gary. You are amazingly supportive and what you think means a lot to me. Thanks again.. Def...

If letting Cory top him, isn't a declaration in itself I don't know what is. So they can't say the words just yet but there are 16 days in which they could, or not.. They're on the same page at least and getting there is half the fun. Funny how Cory sees that there's more than what Indie and Preston want to admit to, and it's Indie who puts the L word out there for Efrain... As always, a really great chapter.. Thanks Dayne..

Things happened in this chapter. Twoey and Erik.. Erik, pushy much? This is just the beginning. Sam and Denna, I love.. But its all about David. It's both a relief and heartbreaking watching him try to figure this all out.. He's grasping at something, but he's not ready still or his brain is trying to protect him a while longer. I just have the image of a little lost boy with those pieces of wallpaper floating around him.. When he puts those pieces together or when it all peels away, will he be ready? It's going to be rough seas ahead huh Skinny.. Thank you for another great chapter..

Boyfriends huh.. I didn't think that Twoey gave up on David. He made the only logical choice he could. I have to say I thought the same as David.. Why Erik out of everyone. He's right to be worried.. I think Erik has yet to reveal who he truly is and when he does it won't be pretty. Twoey will have to figure that out.. I guess our not so gay, definitely not jealous David will have to start questioning things. This is unless he lets Alex distract him. It's also an opportunity for David to get the help he so needs. There's so much that he'll be facing, and he needs help.. Well done SkinnyD...

Lullaby Hush, lay your head on my chest In my arms safely rest Nothing to fear I'll be right here Let my voice be your guide I'll be there at your side Slip into the deep Soothe you to sleep Day is over, you've slain the beast This safe haven will bring you peace Hush, feel my love slumber on Fingers ease your troubled brow Let my touch spell you As only I do Let go I will count every breath Till I'm sure you've reached the depth Where dreams bring bliss Of your lover’s kiss Hus

Here is where you will find my attempt at the poetry prompts.. Note, there's emphasis on attempt..

That was quite the Pole Dance... May I have another? That was awesome Tim.. I loved dance practice. I think when all is said and done it will be a fantastic experience when it's the real thing. The whole session with Oliver was so much fun. I automatically assumed that Evan would be a natural at the dances, but he struggled. Though Russ wasn't perfect, that must have lifted him a little and not in a bad way at all. Just that Evan's good at most everything and Russ is a beat behind.. When Kristen meets Tor! Can't wait.. After all sisters should have some fun too! Great chapter as always Tim.. Thank you.

Awesome chapter Cynus...but what did you do with Viktor.. I liked that Dante was forced to be honest with Viktor. He needed to know what was going on. Keeping him so close and keeping him in the dark could spell trouble. Look how he almost messed them up.. Well we don't know that he didn't, cause where is he? Anyway, this way he can be prepared for what's coming, as much as he can be prepared at least. Viktor is still heart and flowers. How he takes this new information and how he deals with it is going to prove what he's made of. No doubt he's angry, but we don't know cause you had him spirited away...

Aww... Harley loves Brett.. Glad Trip is doing better and I hope he plans on staying that way. I guess we're finding out a lot more about Dragon than we knew for sure. I wonder when Rash decided that the lifestyle wouldn't work for him. The last encounter was the last straw it seemed, but why didn't Dragon know. And Dragon sounds cold about it. His advice to CJ was on the level, but I still bristled that he was the one telling it to CJ. I know what you're going to say, but I get like that for a minute when my son asks his uncles for advice saying I won't get it.. It's my thing, let me have it... I like that CJ is being taught to be fiscally responsible... Now, who's texting and what the heck did they get into.. I'm late and Friday is still so far away.. Thanks Carlos.

HAPPY 21st BIRTHDAY DREW!! WISHING YOU A DAY THATS AS SPECIAL AS YOU ARE

Sweet chapter. Oliver and Carlos really care about their subs. So the bad guy will be back because he's fixated... Toby will be waiting and I can't wait to see where you take us... Thanks Caz..

Randy, that was all kinds of messed up, but funny as heck. Thank goodness I can't remember that far back because I would have shot myself if I acted like Alex over a boy.. But that was a great scene... Twoey is walking such a fine line in his fight for David, such as it is. He can't out David so how to keep the prey at bay. This is one interesting match up, but it will be good to see his David will react to it all. And which side he will fall on for now. (Auto correct replaced side with dude, so maybe it's on to something..) Poor Gary walked to the hospital. His renewed commitment to his friend is that serious to him. I guess that's a good thing, because telling Ginny about the memory lapse was the best thing he could do for David right now. What happens after she mulls it over though.... Loved the chapter SkinnyD... Waiting...

This was a great ending to Jared and Craig's story, and there's that promise of many good things ahead for them. These two were cheated out of a longer time to love each other, but they managed to still find each other inspite of what they went through. I think although they are changed men because of Carly's interference, their love now is stronger, and it's worth fighting for because they could have easily not have known each wanted the other. I love that they're so commited to building a life and a family with Bailey. Nesting, Craig called it.. Perfect. Thank you Gary for writing way more than you intended. It was an absolute pleasure to read this wonderful love story.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY READER1810!! HOPE YOUR DAY IS AS AMAZING AS YOU ARE MY FRIEND! XO

Bravo tim... Never had a doubt you could do this. The poems are striking in their brevity. He and Empty touched me the most emotionally, but I liked the others too. Great job I can't wait to see what the next 27 days turn up..

Oh hell! A little cloak and dagger going on there, but Dante was able to positively identify Daisuke. Now we need to work on getting further proof of his treachery.. I think I might be looking forward to his end too gleefully and perhaps prematurely.. The meet between Vladi and Nobu went as well as could be expected. But it leaves the possibility that these four could be open to working together. Another neat development. Will Dante really have the time to pursue Klara...though I'm betting he'll have fun trying. Viktor and Vladi cleared up some of the misunderstanding between them, but there is so much more left to be said. I feel badly that Viktor thinks that Dante and Nobu are together. You can feel hor hurt he is, yet he's trying to look past it. It will be interesting to see Viktor's arc in this, because I anticipate and internal struggle between his desire to please his father and being loyal to the brothers he's now bonded with, not to mention his own. Where will he fall when it eventually comes to a choice. There is so much moral wrestling weaved into this criminal setting. The plan for Morrison better have him maimed in some way.. Just sayin.. I so loved that to Dante, heist meant gems, money or art. I did a happy Neil dance.. That was great! Thanks Cynus, bring on the next...

I'm guessing Mr Archibald is feeling a lit more than just tolerable now, especially after meeting Grethe. That was a delightful scene to read and I know he feels good knowing his home will be in good hands. Grethe continues to be amazing and understanding. I love that she's filling that void for Patrick and so well he feels no anxiety in spontaneous hugs. That hug meant so much. Pouty Peter is cute, missing his guy whose only been gone a couple hours. New love.. Sigh...and Michael is just as cute with the teasing. Wonderful chapter Tim, I love the developments and seeing them coming together more and more..

Casual sex and casual affection..sure, keep telling yourself that. Preston and Indie are what they didn't know they needed to each other. It will be fun watching them get to the realisation that it's so much more than casual anything. I wonder who will back away from it first, or if they'll just be hmm, it is what it is... I'm looking forward to all of that because we have so much yet to know about theses two.. That tub.. That scene...Efrain and Cory listening... Amazeballs.. Are they trying to rival Efrain and Cory in bringing the heat! I'm loving the evolving friendship between the four guys. It was unlikely to happen, but here they are taking selfies, Iceman sharing serious personal stuff. That's impressive growth for Indie.. Preston is maybe creating a thaw after all.. Loved the chapter, but that's clearly not a surprise..

Great chapter.. A deepening plot huh.. Whatever Silas went through with this Harold person cannot be good. Is it related to the past events somehow? I love to see how connected to each other these brothers are. Yes they're triplets, but it's so much more than that as they're taking care of Silas. How much will Silas tell Oliver.. I'm willing to bet that Oliver may be just as protective as the brothers once he knows.. Nice job Caz..

Congrats Lit.. This was an absolutely wonderful story from start to finish! You left it where you could possibly revisit Jenson and Merrick again so I will say bye for now. I wish J&M lots of adventure together.. Can't wait for what you do next!

Great final chapter Lit.. Exciting to the last. Jorrah is really something else. It wasn't enough that he wanted Jenson dead out of some misguided loyalty to his son, he went after Audra too. I'm curious as to what else there is... Off I go to the epilogue..

So, this chapter made me think of the first conversations back in the discussion thread, but I'll wait it out and see what's really up with Toph. I love Oscar's relationship with him. He helps Toph see and think beyond what he thinks he's capable of. As a result, it feels like Toph is more in tune and ready to face the things he had difficulty with. Even considering his sister's wedding is huge. It felt to like Niles also helped to bridge part of that gap. With Toph's introspection and coming to terms with parts of his life, I can see why he let Niles go. Ian is going to be an interesting factor.. Can't wait for his story or rather Toph's story about him.. Toph seems to be progressing and that's a good thing. I look forward to the next..
