Frisbees at sunset, friends on the beach; life is good. (10 words) I've never tried writing flash purely because I haven't gotten around to it. After reading this entry and trying it out with that picture, though, I'll try to make some time

Wow, that was a really fast update Fascinating, too XD. Strife's viewpoint is really interesting, but I'm suspecting this is the last we'll see of it for a little while it seems like it would give a lot away, so my money is on the next half of his story being heard from Canaan's perspective. I'm not even capable of thinking about what's been revealed in this chapter just yet, so I'll just say the story's only getting better and leave it at that

Haha if Mikhail was in the bathroom, and David got offended at the gay joke and went to 'pee', then it must have been interesting to see him trapped in the bathroom with his dream/nightmare XD I like this story already! I can't wait to see where it goes

Haha I love Canaan and Strife XD their relationship is so intriguing. I'm glad Xander finally got Jeff to fuck off I wonder how much longer Strife can go without harvesting any more body parts XD. I remember the name 'The Bloody Elf', but I don't remember if it was tied in with 'The Wolf' or not (I haven't started rereading it yet XD) or if it was one of Strife's names, either . There was a lot of things I felt like I just missed in this chapter, so I'm gonna reread it sometime I'm not sick and sleep deprived lol. I should probably save reviewing until then, but I can't resist XD. My current guess (it changes every few minutes XD) is that The Wolf and The Bloody Elf (I'm assuming that I remember right and they actually are Canaan and Strife) can't leave the Veil until Xander becomes Canaan again, because they seem to have a lot of enemies in high places, and Strife can't protect them. What kind of message would it send that 'The Wolf', who people fear too much to try to make money off, has lost most of his mods and doesn't remember anything? I think they'll be sticking around in the Veil until they find the 'catalyst' that Strife mentioned. Hopefully it won't be long, though, 'cause I think Strife may have already started looking. The missing earring/powerful metal thing could indicate he sold it for some reason, and I can't think of anything else that he'd want, other than the metal that's still powerful in the Veil (since he didn't have any new earrings i'm assuming he didn't get any of that(unless that new knife is made of it, but that seems unlikely if it's valuble)). From what London said ('displays a moderate amount of independent aether wave control', if I remember right), I'm going to guess that the magic metals can focus aether waves (hence the 'independent' part: he's doing it without the help of metal). That makes me wonder if there's different types of aether waves, since there seems to be more than one type of metal, or if each type of metal focuses the waves differently. If it's my second guess, then can magic-users focus the waves to all the different frequencies, or are they limited to one or two? I hope they're able to use all of them, 'cause then Tallen could use magic in the Veil (which would explain why he's useful to the gangs). The biggest questions I have right now (that I haven't already stated) are: 'Are aether burns the same as mods, or different?', 'Is there more than one type of magic? (it seems likely, 'cause if Strife can't control Aether waves I doubt he'd be feared so much (I'm assuming he can't control them 'cause he carries metal))', and finally, the most important one: 'When are Frost and Tallen gonna have sex?' XD. I can't wait to read the next chapter and look around for any answers I really can't thank you enough for taking the time to write this story I know I already said this, but it really is the best story I've ever read, published or not. I've never had to think so much about anything I've read, and I've never enjoyed reading so much . Surprisingly, I'm glad this story isn't finished yet XD if I didn't have to wait for each chapter to come out, I'd have gone through the whole story in a day and a half and not given each chapter the thought it deserves . OK, I'll stop babbling and fanboying now . More accurately, I'm gonna start checking out a new way to fanboy XD I think Renee said something about anyone being able to review any story and get it featured in the weekly update, and I want to see if I remember that right so I can give it a try and see if 'Imprint' shows up on the weekly update blog . This is the type of story that everybody should read at some point, to give an example of true brilliance I'll stop for real this time XD I just had to get that last little fanboy rant out . Good luck with all the new chapters! One more thing (I know this is the third time I've said my rant is done, but I forgot till now and I don't want to leave this out XD), this chapter really made me realize the contrast between Tallen and Frost's storyline and Canaan and Strife's. You've done that really well, and I love how Tallen gets a little Strife-like when he's protecting things he loves, while Canaan seems to have a little bit of Frost in him when he's lying in bed with Strife (while Strife is sleeping, at least. I don't think Frost would be into all the kinky stuff they do when they're awake XD). This is the end this time, I promise XD. Love the story, can't wait for more

Wow. I didn't think I could get attached to one character, let alone two, in three thousand words, but apparently I was wrong XD. Is this based in a world established in another one of your stories? It'd be cool to see more of that world it's pretty well detailed already, so I can only imagine if there was more of it XD Great story, overall! I love the surprise at the end

I'm glad you like the dialogue XDYeah, I've been trying to keep from going overboard with the sex scenes, but if Asher's not doing something weird then he's trying to get into Ben's pants lol. They've become 'real' to me, and trying to stop them from getting what they want is hard XD Weirdly enough, I'm not into S&M either XD I don't really know where it came from in this chapter Yay! I was hoping it'd be noticeable lol. I wasn't describing anything well before, but then I read one of Cia's blogs about 'showing, not telling', and I've been trying to work on that ever since XD That sounds like a picture that wouldn't be allowed on GA it sucks 'cause I can only imagine the picture you could create from that XD I'm glad the endings aren't getting repetitive lol. I've kept timeskips out of the story so far, and I plan on keeping them out unless I absolutely have to add them lol. About the cooking oil - I swear I don't have a food fetish XD it was just the only thing I could think of for them to do Thanks! That's really flattering XD

Thanks! Better late then never, right? XD

The crisis is coming, but I've pushed it off way too long XD I'm way too attached to A&B for it to be easy to hurt them

Thanks! I think the writing getting better is from (like you said) more confidence, which is thanks to everyone who reviewed and got me more comfortable with writing XD

Yeah, Tommy's loaded XD. I've always wanted a jet ski, too lol. I think you're at the point where I got more comfortable with dialogue lol. This whole story has been a learning experience (an awesome one, so far XD) and my writing has changed a fair bit since I started it, hopefully in the right direction XD.

To be honest, I have no idea how it happened, but I'm really thankful for it XD reviews always make my day to read.

Yeah, cameras are fun XD Ben starts to have the same problem as you later on in the story . I'm glad you liked the first part, and I'll make sure to check out the end sometime and see what I can fix XD

Thanks! I hope you like everything else you read XD

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cy6HMClRfAw I left it as a link 'cause the preview had more than one curse word lol. Don't click it if you're offended by vulgarity The lyrics to this are absolutely hilarious XD "like a leech stuck in a vacuum, yall aint nuttin but a whole lot of suckin', goin' on in rap" "It'll never be my chair that you're on crown so tight that it cuts off circulation to the brain no oxygen otherwords there's no heir to the throne" "[female dog] I'm as bat [excrement] as Ozzy it's obvious you can tell I go right off the bat no pun intended but come any closer I'll bite off your head" Eminem can always make me laugh with his lines XD I don't even really like rap music, but when there's wordplay like that I can listen to it forever

Wow Andy, way to be an ass about it . He should have given Matt some time to think instead of trying to claw his way into Matt's pants against his will. I'm amazed Matt even stayed and slept in the same bed as him after that. That being said, Matt could have been more understanding about it, since Andy just laid his feelings out for Matt to see. Overall, I really liked this chapter XD it was realistic and well written. Onto chapter 12 to see Andy's perspective

It's reassuring that Andy and Matt are together in the present (I'm hoping they're really 'together', because they're comfortable enough to share their attraction to each other lol). I want to write more of a review, but this cliffhanger is killing me XD You've done a really good job with this story I'm glad I started reading it XD

Ooh, Gina's got Matt figured out XD I hope she talks to him about it, since she seems to be accepting. Maybe she could help him resolve his feelings? I'm really excited to move onto the next chapter after reading that Andy wants to try something with Matt now I hope he doesn't pussy out XD

Great chapter! I can't wait to see if Andy was kidding about 'practicing' on Matt next time XD I hope he wasn't I'm really enjoying this story XD I was worried at first, when I saw it was rated 'Everybody', but it seems to have a lot more action than I expected from that rating

I'm glad Matt told Andy the truth, finally better late than never, I guess. I don't get why Andy's so hesitant about kissing Matt, when he knows Matt wants it too. He seems to be confident enough with everything else, so it surprises me that he didn't do it. Oh well, maybe when they get more practice with kissing Emily and Gina they'll be comfortably enough to try XD

Awesome chapter! I really like Gina XD I almost feel bad for hoping Andy gets Matt instead of her Matt lying to Andy surprised and disappointed me. I thought he was more mature than that lol maybe he and Andy aren't so different after all XD I don't know if anyone else had this problem, but the first paragraph repeated itself, and the whole story was also duplicated. It might just be a glitch, and I hope I didn't miss any content because of it lol

I'm happy that Matt's getting more confident he needs more self esteem. Maybe he can borrow some from Andy XD Great story, I'm really liking it!

Gina was right about Andy; he's full of himself and still hungry, to quote Eminem . I can't wait to see how/if he unties that particular knot. By the way, I'm really enjoying how everything ties in to the title XD every time Andy's muscles are mentioned I half-expect to see 'his muscles knotted as he...' lol. On the same topic, Andy cutting the knots in the rope instead of taking the time to untie them made me wonder if that was some sort of foreshadowing o.O I hope 'knot' XD

Looks like I got the wrong impression of Andy XD I thought he was more aware of Matt's feelings for him. It's good to know that he wasn't trying to be a douche when he shared the swimming place with everyone else, and that he regrets it. I'm really enjoying the story already XD it's awesome that there's much more ahead

Ooh, trouble in paradise Andy was a bit of a douche in this chapter he should have at least asked Matt before sharing their secret place, especially with so many people. I still felt like Matt overreacted when Andy won their race, though. It seems like he hates that he feels inferior to Andy, so losing at a race bugs him more than it should. Besides, he implied he felt like that every time Andy did that, so it's not just residual anger from Andy sharing their secret. Andy caught Matt staring at him, and he didn't seem surprised, so it must not have been the first time. If he knew Matt liked to look at him, and he wasn't interested, I doubt he would have joked about Matt touching his boner. More pings on the gaydar XD Maybe Matt will start to get over his inferiority complex soon, and Andy will see him as something more than a sycophant and something can start between them

Good beginning for the story XD I can't wait to see what Andy and Matt get up to next. They're already fleshing out as characters, and I'm already excited 'cause Andy's a steady ping on my gaydar . I'm dying to learn if Andy likes Matt personally or if he just likes guys in general
