I knew there was a method to Cookie's madness.. I'm sure that was infuriating, but now Scott has, should he choose a legit business venture.. Graham wants to talk, again... That's a good thing no matter what because at least he showed up and didn't leave Scott wallowing. Besides if they're both unhappy, hopefully they can come to a good resolution.. Fingers crossed..

Well, the brutal truth and nothing but. It's the hardest and best thing for Scott and Graham right now. Graham now has to think if knowing these things about Scott will change the way he feels. This is pretty new still so he has lots to think about..

Given Declan's state of mind I'm not surprised that he didn't immediately rush to Bailey's side. At least he had the presence of mind to get Chris and Alex away from Bailey and then follow Bailey home. He is slow on the uptake, but I think there's a good person beneath all that. He's confused and trying to fit in without losing status. He's the teen who'll get it wrong before he gets it right because he knows what the right thing is. When he deleted the video it went to his trash bin no? So hopefully it's there until it's discovered? I think I have an idea about Bailey's dad but I can't be sure.. Also, is Bailey even human? A not brawny, ex-football player, gymnast, runner, outlasts and out performs the other football kid.. Impressive. I so want to know more about him.. Great chapter CM...

Convenient, quick and doesn't sacrifice healthy options.. Nice tim. I'm sure the chilli will be great too. You've talked about the Pot from the minute you got it and now I'm thinking that more than one of us will be claiming ownership of our own soon..

SPIKEY!! It's your birthday! Hope it's fantastic!

Happy Birthday! Hope you had a great day!!

Alek made all the changes Liam wanted and he did it thinking Liam had moved on. This is the Alek that is worthy of Liam. The Alek Liam loves. Liam just needs to decide that he wants it too..

I swear Parker, the only time I care about math is when you put it in poetry like this. I don't have to solve anything and barely have to grasp the concepts, but there's a spark.. Good stuff. :-)

I think Evan did more for Hugh in talking to him and praising his poem honestly. The contact information is always there if Hugh needs. Loved this tim.. Great job as usual..

I was stumped for minutes wondering why I was getting notifications from different authors on the same indefart story...

Site upgrade gave us a gift! I'm sure you will find a way to make us sorry for the early peek.. Great chapter Carlos.. Family solidarity with Owen, Liz and CJ all bald. Then solidifying family with the tattoo, getting Ritchie ready to come home, Rod coming to DC. I loves it.. You know, 'not in laws ' is beginning to sound a lot like 'not my boyfriend'. Just saying, cause you see how well that worked out..

Great Parker! The tango is such an intimate and sensual dance. Your poems captured that.. That chant though, will echo in my head. That's a good thing..

Great chapter Lit... The call surprised me, but it was good. Liam definitely needs to talk to Alek whatever the outcome. There's unfinished business there. Nathan is a good, very good man and friend.. Alek wasn't wrong in not running to tell Liam I don't think. Liam asked him to stay away, he promised to win Liam back and respect his wishes for the time being. Maybe he wasn't done yet. Maybe telling his parents and breaking off with Natalia was just the beginning. He still has to maybe look into supporting himself if his family drops him. He knows what his family is like better than anyone and then guys suffer from something called pride.. What would he have to offer Liam if he was homeless and jobless.. I'm just supposing here, but a talk now would do them good. I am totally on board Team Nyce! Nathan might be the guy to tame Bryce and Bryce the right kind of wild for Nathan..

OH! So that happened! We knew this outing was a possibility after Katy threatened it, but I let it fall in the background. This whole chapter is a cliffhanger. Did Katy really spill? What does Ben say to the press, to his family? Does he leave now? Does Travis let him? The guys are acting quite domestic aren't they, and Travis let Doug know in no uncertain terms he doesn't share. Pretty cool. Nice too, how Ben's touch calmed Travis down. Special indeed.. Nice chapter and so many questions Mac.. Taps foot..

So, I'm wondering what changed too Declan. Does Chris wield that much influence? At least there a good friends who will make it known they won't accept his attitude. That's admirable and rare. Let's hope Declan takes the chance to really look at his actions and turn this around. It won't be easy but he might find himself without the right kind of friends. Good chapter CM

I'm glad Scott found what he was missing in Graham. When it's the right person all the things you don't think you want, you actually do. When you are a changed person as Scott is, these things hold greater meaning. Thank you for taking us there Parker

Your happiness matters to me Sean. If it's with Ethan or some other guy, I just want you happy. #liesitellmyself #howtogetawaywithmurder It was a very nice Pride.. I am so happy Doc is moving on. Adriano is moving on. Good things.. A CJ staged intervention was a good step to helping Bradley. He has the support of his friends but it's never that easy. He's got to put the work in. Possibly fall a couple times. We still don't know what the root of it all is.. Im not liking that everyone will be off doing their own thing over the summer. I'm sure it will be spectacular and lots will happen but still.. CJ and Owen have a serious discussion and its enlightening. These two will be alright.. Patrick! Could you tell me what you have planned for him? I know something is brewing. I get how the dads feel about the quiet. When my son and his friends randomly invade my house I welcome the noise.. Well done sir, and I managed to get here on time!!

I wonder how long before the brothers go knocking... Poor Carlos..

Uh-huh. Sure you don't do romance. Also I guess I should careful what I wish for. Thankfully, G I Joe saved the day! That was a rough lead in to CJ and Ozzie's fight. Harley must never change.... I love the way he loves Cap! The gun debate is one that is sure to continue through the years. Pretty sure closing my eyes and cursing exempts me from gun ownership but I am personally not opposed to it. I am glad Tom was able to give perspective on Owen's pov. At least Ozzie and CJ found a compromise they could live with. As first fights and make ups go, that was most mature. Bradley was showing signs of trouble early on. It seems that this has ratcheted. He's due for some anger management and Dragon therapy. Curious as to what's driving it. Sorry I'm so late again.. See, this happens when I read the chapter offline and then write my thoughts in notes.. I forget to actually do it later on. This might happen again. Blame my rememberer..

How am I sitting here feeling so badly for Erik and for Ryan. My heart hurts for them. If you never write them a HEA, that would be okay because this end as it stands is real. I get how Ryan feels and getting away from NY and putting himself back together is the right thing for him. Maybe he finds his way back or Erik will decide to give chase. For right now, this is good. You are a wonderful and expressive writer HB. This was beautifully done. I look forward to Part Two!

Oh, thank goodness for snow days! Made my way through all the stories and commented! All were quite good and entertaining, but I do have a clear favorite.. Thank you authors...

This was funny even as it's borderline non fiction.. Herman is a true hero! I really hope he doesn't have to spend most of his days in hiding if they're going to be coming after Andy. Andy who seems to have been waiting for thus and is happy that his guy is being true to himself... Well done.. Thank you..

Well, I didn't think of a gun. I thought he wrote his own book or a tell all. Lol. This is so, so much better though. I can hear the sound of sales plummeting. Great story... Thank you.

Harmless as it may be, didn't it get tired after a while with the jokes and tricks on his birthday? But I guess he got his family by slipping in he was actually gay. Pretty smooth. Good for Chase, in always making April 1 a much better birthday for Conrad to remember and celebrate.. Well done.. Thank you

How the heck did any actual work get done at their job.. Now they're teaming up. OY! Ryan and Ted should audition for a shot at a reality tv prank show.. My classroom aide did a raisin/melted chocolate poo trick on me one year. Involved the whole class. Nothing funnier to a kindergarten class than toilet humour and their teacher getting played.. Fun read.. Thank you..
