Defiance19

Okay I get Liz better now.. She was 8 and there's no way she could be blamed for anything. Dad though, wtf. He knew something was off, took Tommy and David away from it. He didn't like how PPF and Burch were all over David. How the hell did he not man up and do something. I can't believe he knew about his wife and still let her drag his kids to that church. Still let her treat them or David at least, that way. There's no excuse for that and waiting till Tommy went to college is bullshit.. She had complete control anyway! Now, if this Revelation is leading to where I think it is? And this all part of the reason why David can't remember, cause he blocked it out, or why he compartmentalises, and is in denial messed up, then Dad has a lot to answer for. I think Chuck might be the new Matty in training... It's about to get real for the boy.. Glad the dance went well, at least for Sam and Deena. David might have called it right after all. I wonder if Lisa will agree.. Twoey is cute when he's trying not to be jealous... I actually want him and Alex to be visiting at the same time.. And what was Tommy doing egging her on.. Reverse psychology? Thanks SkinnyD, it was a great revealing chapter.

Finally, Michael gets his own room. It's cute with him in the bed, but he's holding things up. lol.Their talk was sweet. I like that they lay it all out with each other. It was a good idea to get in front of how wealthy Patrick is. Patrick hadn't been affected by it and if he can shower Michael and Peter with what their family needs why not. I can't see him being showy of frivolous so I don't think Peter will feel odd. Another show of Patrick putting the needs of his family first.. I really love how it's all coming together.. Loved this chapter Tim...

Brett's banged up and okay.. I wasn't worried at all. Well, maybe just a touch.. I had to smile too, when CJ asked after the other occupants of the helicopter. It is so him to be this way. Things seem to be settling back to form and life moving along. Harley is amazing, may he never change. He steals the scene every time.. There's little seeds planted of what is to come, and I am looking forward to seeing it unfold. NYC next? (Toe tapping) I wondered what Mary's Place was about, and now that I know, I think it is a fantastic idea. I hope they make it happen.. Great to be back Carlos... Happy Spring.

Wow Gary! That was simply amazingly done. Beautiful. 'Brings to mind my lover'. Love what you did there through the poem.. Great job!

I am only relieved because I can now finish my lunch.. But still... This is going to be a PR nightmare. The guys are in an awkward spot... They didn't even get a chance to discuss what they may or may not have wanted..

OMG! OMG! Oh. My..... I was reading along so nicely too.. I can't imagine the shitstom that's about to hit.

Alex... Bless her poor misguided heart.. I hope with Aunt Sarah around, David will have more guidance dealing with the mess the nameless woman left behind. I think his dad might still be in a fog to be of any help to him. Though I have to say, if he temporarily slips back into D2 mode to calmly kill her, I have no objection.. It's great to see how excited Tommy is to have his brother back. Umm... Liz is still MIA! And yep, David is back alright.. He can't resist the pull of the green eyes. Of course Twoey feels uncomfortable, the memory of Erik is lodged in his throat still. And he's jealous.. that was sweet. I wish Tommy would clue his brother in already. He's got a better handle on David than David does.. Anyway, all in good time.. I actually love the moments like this between Twoey and David. Their journey is greatly entertaining. Matty seems to to be wanting to change his MO. As much fun as they're having, I hope Chuck doesn't get hurt.. Great chapter SkinnyD!

Yay! Brothers... I like it. I hope that means they will also be united in what us surely coming. Dante and Nobu definitely need to let Viktor know that Nobu is not off limits to him. Poor Viktor might hyperventilate soon.. I think its sweet, (and sweet isn't the right word) that Masahiro is okay with Nobu, and can show that caring side, inspite of his hardness. I guess in their line of work, I shouldn't be surprised that Masahiro picked up on the connection between Nobu and Viktor. I also don't know that you can trust someone who can order you beaten to near death on one hand and show you kindness on the other. Or maybe you can.. Nobu seems to know and accept that it is all part of being Yakuza.. Nobu is an honorable young guy. What he did for Satoshi is just great.. Viktor is more positive than I am about the proposed meeting with Vladi. I want it to go well, but Nobu and Vladi don't have great history.. Waiting to see how that goes and what the plan will be for Alexi... Loved this chapter Cynus!

Aww, a bittersweet chapter. Bitter only because there are only a couple of chapters to the end. But, focus on the sweet.. Jenson and Merrick were so great.. Together finally, and Merrick gave in to the bite! Hot! Hot! So happy for them...mostly for me, but that's something else.. Lol. Also, it was nice that the Senator was not involved much to Luda's relief.. Great chapter Lit, looking forward to the final happenings..

Can't think of a better way to welcome you back than to leave my first ever review, even though I've always been enjoying Jay and Miles.. The Rocky Horror Picture Show is always a great time, so it was good fun to relive it through the boys. The shopping trip, also so much fun. It felt good to be laughing with you again, albeit through this wonderful, fun and romantic chapter.. Can't wait for what's next. There is a promise of a sleepover? Well done CG! Welcome back...

Lovely chapter Gary.. It's great to see the guys balance their business partnership with their personal lives.. That doesn't always work, but they have set roles and it's not all the time, so it's a good thing.. Might want to commission Craig.. I really hope that this is really the beginning of a good thing for Carly.. I would like to believe that she can be better than she has been. She sure threw the guys for a loop.. Also, I would hate for her to have yet something else to be pissed about, seeing as how their mom has someone too. Well done Gary!

I see what you mean about being similar yet different.. This was pretty cool.. The chair was a little freaky but it worked.. I absolutely love the idea that Jackson and the chair will go on to give someone else love and adventure.. As always, great work tim!

Nicely done Val. I like how you did the do over. Luckily he chose wisely. The point of almost impact, not recovery in a hospital which means no suffering, just a chance to do better. The other door could have been anything...

Adi! Just as it got good and spooky, it got done! I liked it but I'm like everyone wanting more!

To answer the chapter title question, our David. That is D1. Sure sign that David is coming back to us is his realisation of things he did wrong and he needs to apologise for. Now I don't think that D2's influence will be all that lasting, and I hope he never needs to employ any version of D2 again! Great at that Sam has all this info so Gary can tell the elders what's up.. Wonder if they're connected.. Yes, horse's head kind of connected. Because there's no way Burch and PPF et al can walk from this. I'll leave David to his healing and Twoey to his enlightening Google search, while I wait patiently to see what part four brings.. Thanks SkinnyD!

Lovely dedication Carlos... One more week and it's on!

This was so sad, pure anguish, but very well done. The wine us on me. I think we're going to need it.

Great ending tim... Figured Sean would have tried something, but it gave Tait the opportunity to stand up to him. How awesome for Tait. Good for Philip too, having the forethought to call the cops who arrived right on time. I love knowing that Tait and Philip will be together. Two happy endings in a very well crafted story. What more could we ask for. What I loved most was how believable these characters were. It made their story even more compelling. Also, the ending lines were just perfect...*sigh* loved it. Thank you for bringing this to us tim!

They totally worked David over huh! But like he said, he's now free. Let's hope that freedom eventually brings him clarity. I also hope he goes back to the Doc lickety split. Free or not there's bound to be after effects caused by all of this not to mention things will be different at home. Better, but different. If you did not mention TommyLogic, I would never have thought twice about Barbara/Jenny and Mark!/Tommy... My brain screeched to a halt and went Whaaat?? I can't wait to see what that's all about.. Nice try Twoey. Addressing us, while trying to justify this thing you got going with Erik. Just so you know, it worked, but I'm with Ginny on this. I don't like it, but I'm going to agree that you will have to do you. Maybe this will wake David up, but for sure he will keep you on your toes.. Loopy David.. "Are you naked?" " Is Sam like that all the time?" Hehe.. Now that things are almost semi normal, I can't wait to see what's in store.. Great as usual SkinnyD!

David is on his way back! The seniors in NYC are wanting Intel. Gary has a purpose. Twoey and Tommy may be mending fences. Tommy is so much more mature than all the kids around him and half the adults... I'm not trading David, but he's quickly becoming my favorite... Great chapter SkinnyD, I'm on to the next..

OMG I have missed this. But it was so worth the wait. Kevin jealous? I'm loving the developments. Can't wait to see what happens with the arrival of Becker's sister.. Should be fun. Still, I hope the next chapter won't be too far away..

Oh poor Craig.. But I get it.. I was in an accident a while ago, well not really.. A stop sign came out of nowhere. But sometimes when I have to make that turn, I panic and go straight. I get that feeling of dread other times it's no problem. So I understand how even after so long Harlan's accident will creep up on Craig and affect him so physically, especially with Jared's line of work.. Communication is key. They're still new, and still learning. Sure they've known each other forever, but they led separate lives so there's much to know yet. It's how they handle it that will determine if they ride the wave or crash. So far they seem to be headed the right way. They are commited so they need to learn to trust that and in each other to get them through.. Nice chapter Gary...

What a trying time for Eli. There's so much confusion over what Jacob was actually caught up in, why he was scoping dating sites and the answers or non answers are lead to more questions. He and Jacob seemed to be making plans to be together in the future so yeah, I would be exasperated and feeling at a loss too. Hopefully Doc Hague can shed light on the who, since the police are less than forthcoming. Although I can agree that no 'real' crime has been committed just yet, I hope there's a way to connect the dots.. I'm continuing to enjoy this mystery. Looking forward to what's next..

Still wondering how Ben made the leap from Clayton to Benoit. Such polar opposites. The best thing about this chapter is that Ben was able to talk to Clayton about it whether he was high at the time or not.. He may not want the cops, but just telling Clay is a call for help I think.. Now that Bubba may be involved, hopefully things will be set right and there could be hope to save Ben. He is lucky that Clayton us a good man and still cares about him enough to care what happens to him. Great that Ryan could be the one there for his man. I bet he felt grand about that..

You did great! The story was very well done... I hope this won't be your only attempt.
