I'll admit to being fooled. I was so into the story that I didn't see this twisty goodness coming.. Good story and well written.. Thank you..

This was a really good story. I could actually get behind listening to his topic as it relates to architecture and poetry.. With all the delays, I am glad Oliver's conference ended well all around. Good thing he kept misplacing that briefcase. I enjoyed this, thank you..

I love this story. Down to all the small details, it was beautifully written and a wonderful portrayal of kids and people with Downs Syndrome. Peter is delightful and Evan tuned out to be stellar.. Full of heart and it warmed mine. Thank you for writing this..

I am hoping that somehow in all their communication, Jayce knew that Andy would eventually come to appreciate that joke. After he maybe smacked Jayce upside the head for being so mean. Jayce would have so much making up to do.. You did a great job capturing Andy's nerves and anticipation, which I guess made the reaction to female Jayce's reveal just as horrifying for the reader as well. Thanks for your story.

Delia and Hutch's meeting was sweet.. As was Sybil sensing Arthur's wolf... Can't wait for these two. (Nudge) The Morningstar couple are cool about the mate coming from Vega. That in itself is great, especially as it's their true mate. Like Elinor, I thought there'd be some grumbling or tensions but I'm glad it's easy. Mates do belong together.. Tobyn and Kellar showed us just how much so.. Nice chapter Gary..

Too often this is the way for too many. I'm glad that Andy's mom was able to make up where his father unfortunately hadn't. I'd also like to think that she would have wished up even if her husband hadn't died.. Sophie's a perfect product of her loving fathers and maybe Cindy too... Wasn't it just yesterday there was that thing with the milk pump? They grow up so fast. Nice work, even though it was a toughie...

A nice turn for Scott and Graham, and I'm glad they have this moment... It's a beautiful thing to see.. Like everyone said, this was a wonderful and warm chapter.. But, it's not over, so I'm anxious to see where you take this next..

I thought this to be interesting enough to share.. http://www.atlasobscura.com/places/chandelier-hall-of-cologne-sewerage-system

Congrats on the feature Val!! I think I might have to reacquaint myself with Max's Garage. It's familiar but I don't quite remember it.. Can't wait for another chapter of Hollow Hills!!!

Cory is the best kind of friend. Helping Liam out like that is great.. I do have to take issue with him saying that Alek kept Liam in the closet though. Alek was in the closet, Liam chose to get in there and stay with him until he decided that he couldn't. Now Liam has more choices to make, and he is in an unenviable position. Does he accept thT Alek is doing just as he asked or does he risk his heart again. Is it worth it? The whole thing with the girlfriend sounds like 2 families trying to force an issue. But to what end? Were promises made? A business merger at stake? Is her family saving face by marrying her into a respectable family? Or simply, just the family not being able to let go of age old traditions. If Alek did indeed come out then good for him.. The next logical step would be to break from the family business if they continue to hold this girl over his head. It's what he most fears but he would have done the hard part already by owning who he is. He just needs to follow through and be his own man.. Even if he thinks it will mean he's alone. I'm betting that not all his family will shut him out.. I don't think Alek will tell Liam, (I hope he doesn't) so I wonder, if Liam doesn't confront him how the 'secret' will be revealed.. Ok, so maybe I had a lot of thoughts this chapter..

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CLO!! Many, many more!

Congrats on the feature Lit... Crave was a fantastic debut and a great read. I look forward to the discussion and highly recommend it to anyone who hasn't yet discovered it..

Can we just send Arthur ahead on the Morningstar Express. His anxiety is killing me. Lol. This chapter was a reminder that the lives of some couples could be at stake. Had me thinking. At least there is choice so no one feels they have to make that decision. Loved Logan too, in this chapter. His realistic thinking will no doubt help make the merging of the packs smoother and more functional. Great chapter Gary.

I think Eric likely knew what he was doing. Using Katy to unnerve Travis. Letting him know that he can still get to him. I wonder if Katy will have the good sense to stay away or if she'll listen to her Brian and give them both a chance to move past this. I have never been so relieved for a dream, as powerful and messed up as it was. Ben I don't expect will be able to just put Travis' past out of his mind even as he accepts what he feels for the man. If the dream was symbolic and not just his mind trying to cope, I hope it doesn't become their undoing somehow. Excellent Mac

Sink or swim.. Marcus glad the right idea and Ian fell to his instincts.. It all worked out in the end.. Nice prompt JT.. I enjoyed this little tale.

I suppose it's no coincidence that even as he can't shift yet, Devin already finds comfort in the water. Brothers! Nicely done prompt Drew. I'm looking forward to seeing where you take these characters.

I have a feeling that even if Ryan didn't have feelings for Erik, he still wouldn't be able to deal. Are there contracts? Because he might not be able to just walk away so easily. He doesn't need this though, but he and Erik need to talk. Erik needs to show some of his cards.. Great chapter as always HB.

This was an absolutely fantastic story.. Ryan got the love he always wanted, aren't got to love again. And the kids are doing better than good. Very well done.. Thank you.

Uh oh... What to do indeed.. I think he'll be okay because the cubs sat right on him and seem completely at ease. Hopefully? Really good prompt Caz..

A loon... Yay Henry.. I love it.. That was just awesome Parker! The story was moving and it was well done as usual. Great job.,

D4's argument with the 'boy' is actually quite facinating. That's a pretty cushy entry for newbie vampires, I'd say.. Great prompt Adi..

Lol.... That was so much fun.. How does Frank not go belly up from the stress.. Awesome Val..

Northie, this was great... The FAQ for hell had me laughing...just imagine! I loved this take on the prompt.. Good job!

Bwahahaha! Oh Carlos, thanks for that.. Bet I'll still be laughing later..

Mom ears.. It's our super power! Finally caught up to part 1.. Part 2, tomorrow..
