Stage outfit? Now THAT needs. a. visual. A very detailed description, this being a GAY site and all! The guys want to look FABULOUS! We are talking rockstars here, right? 😉

Aaaaand finally.... from Alabama no less!...https://www.alabamawx.com/?p=186565

the Industry has devoured a lot of Young Talent raw...how many Artists - of various ages btw - could eventually not withstand the pressure any longer? Relentlessly pressured to produce...then go on tour for months on end...Always in the public eye, moving from one impersonal hotel room to the next...no friends, no confidantes...chased by press, Groupies, financial and PR 'advisers' Producers deciding on your hairstyles even, your choice in clothing...

Come on, Chris, don't play so coy! We'd all be dying for a Grand Parade, with some fabulous pomp and circumstance….Grand Ascension festivities...big crowds are fun! >You only have to smile and wave at them a bit...it's the intimate dinners with e.g. just the Elven Ministers that are truly scary...where you actually have to interact with a group of strangers

It's interesting to think of how Chris gains his fighting 'tricks' He obviously has no teacher, and doesn't dream them...can't be an innate elven thing either, as Patri would know about it then...thanks for keeping up your posting schedule! (Oh, and kudos for your restraint or control of your happy urges! hehe...)

Given Chris' rather messianic status in the elven realm, he might be required - and obviously able - to wield great elemental power one day. The library seems to act in some clairvoyant/prophetic way. The meetings with Patry and Victor's sire might not clear things up for us mere mortals though. Rather perhaps just confirm the exceptional circumstances for us, without a real explanation, since they probably don't know the books or it's importance /contents themselves... Thanks for updating so frequently still, I was expecting - and dreading - a longer hiatus, with resulting serious withdrawal symptoms! (on another note - a little pet peeve of me in this story: for some inexplicable reason the "written" laughter in this joyful and soar generally upbeat story, has been grating on me since the beginning. I like them all happy and laughing, and you portray the happy mood well enough without the repetitive "hehe" In this chapter they can be found in almost every paragraph, 36 in total....perhaps you can find it in you to reduce the number somewhat, without strangling your muse in the process!)

20.000 an intimate gig! lol. For me, that would be playing unplugged in a pub or small town theatre...

Great interlude with mom, wonderful dialogues

??? oh yeah. And ??? for good measure! Can't wait for further revelations/explanations

Now, now.... Don't get a head of yourself! This is waaaay too short and too easy! While the first part of this chapter really captured - and described "awkward" in realistic awkwardness, hehe, to then have the guys accept the most epochal revelations with less than a shrug, no questions and thinking more about food than how their lives, everything has changed/ will change possibly? I mean....really! Meeting the Doctors wa comparatively easy. The concept of Vampires has already sunk in, a few have been met, so what's a few more, right? But Elves? Thought to extinct, just ambling into the den, no biggie...This meeting MUST have them all bubbling and bursting with questions even BEFOREa trip to different plane - an alternate universe! - can even be mentioned, and even more so - understood! William is quite easy going, but surely he has to have more questions, than just which seat to take in Sheffield trip to an alternate world.... very exciting chapter, and I am now even more curious about the elven realm...

Precioius how Ranevargar clutched his Pearl! 😉

I am curious about the 21st century steampunk elven world! Oh. and more background on the Blood Army

So where can I get that frigging album? 😜

I know how the old version played out, so there. It's still good to read this tale again, a tale about the goodness of people. Giving chances, not giving up...not on yourself, and not on others.

Stubborness never is a good trait. And refusing help out of a (false) sense of pride, can hurt a good soul. And while it makes for a good story development - step, by page - Grant should come clean with Troy stat! It's cruel to string the guy along, knowing his secrets and weak spots....

I'm already crying too much. A beautiful tale...

Just reading the first few lines reminded me. I loved the story! Thanks for it! refined? ...in that case I get a dram, and start over again!

Is it possible I've read this already elsewhere?

Oh Leo....sweet! Leo a were....interesting, and fitting. Stoker - boy the name - seems to be council run and owned. Good and safe place then. But we'l have to see what troubles await our young charges UNTIL they can attend Stoker University...

I can so relate to that. Although I can live well with two chapters a day! Once a week is oftentimes hard to endure...

Do they know about moose farts and squirrels?

I like that. Young Princes need nurturing. And a guard

Markie boy seems to know a lot about fucking a guy...prostate and all that jazz - and jizz....lol A month separation makes a breakup easier. Potentially still a bit messy, but hey! True love is the prize!

Love the guys already! I am happy you could avoid that trope - confused boy gets scared-runs away- other boy hurt in serious self doubt- trust lost - ages of making up again....No, nothing awkward, taking all in stride, that's my boys!
