A. So did Ash and Cove. B. Absolutely. C. Harder as teens for sure. We hold no higher interest in comparison with the internet at the palm of their hands.

Glad you enjoyed this one.
-
Oh, she's definitely starting soon. 😂
-
Yes. Faced with something he can no longer deny and old feelings breaking through ( as opposed to just leaking through), he's a bit overwhelmed. 😅 His thoughts on taking on the event was two-thirds professional, one-third "surely those kids won't give him as difficult a time as Ashley."

Hopefully.

Yes, I think I heard that wall crumbling, too. 😂

"Drop a heart, and break a name…We're always sleeping in and sleeping for the wrong team~" "Ugh, can someone change that station already?" I grumbled, irritation simmering beneath my words. That song used to be my favorite—I'd belt it out shamelessly, lungs full, no matter who was listening. Now, all I could see was a younger Cove bouncing onto our battered couch, water bottle in hand like a microphone, harmonizing with me. The ache of missing those simpler days tightened in my throat. I sh

That works, too.

My tricks of the trade for editing: 1. Random friend to read the chapter. 2. Grammarly or another grammar-checking website to remind me just how many times I misuse commas and write sentences in backwards Spanish format. 3. A text-to-speech program to hear my own cringey writing being spoken to me in a robotic voice and catch things like the same word written twice in the same sentence (some people just use their iphones for this, others that work online use a combination of google docs and a text-to-speech web browser extension). Even then there are still things you might not catch, but I'd say that's decent enough to post. Worry about the "perfectly edited" copy whenever you want to actually publish something.

On some sites or apps it actually allows you to checkmark a "do not notify users" option. But, on GA, it's always best to make sure your chapters are as pristine as can be before posting.
-
I've always gone back to re-edit things I thought were edited well. Then, I realized it notified everyone with every edit I did. So, I've since stopped.
-
Oh it's happening, yes.
-
Depends on the situation. 🤣
-
She's a kid. She grasps some concepts better than others. Doesn't understand why Ash can't just be there forever. Ash is also still in denial about her name having anything to do with him.

If only he’d listen to you!

Wrapped in warmth, I woke up achingly aroused. My mind lagged behind reality, but my body knew exactly what was happening. The hand stroking me wasn't my own, and the hardness grinding against me from behind made it impossible to think. I squirmed, only to realize the teeth grazing my shoulder belonged to Cove Mitchell. A sharp breath escaped me as I thrust into his hand. Suddenly, Cove shifted away, leaving me confused until I found myself on my back with him straddling me. My eyes ad

Just wanted to say a quick thanks to everyone that took a chance on his story and provided much-needed feedback to @LunaM.. The GA community never disappoints and I'm truly touched by how you've welcomed Luna and her writing style with open arms. Many, many thanks!

"Edgar! Can you bring a new wine bottle, too?" Anna yelled from across the garden when she saw him walking towards the house. He quickly gave her a thumbs up and then continued on his mission. "Oh, for her you do shit but for ME?! Next time I ask you to bring me another beer, I will remind you of this." Wilhelm next to him piped up, earning himself an annoyed side glance from his childhood friend. "She is my sister." The blond dryly stated, his mind occupied with what he was abou

"Wow did you see that?! So pretty!" Alex cheered when an especially colorful rocket lit up the sky. He was half-way hanging over the railing and filming the show with the new phone Ed had bought him for Christmas. From the moment the first fireworks were lit, the teen's excitement was unstoppable while Ed's mood, on the other hand, got worse by the minute. The older guy had actually dreaded the day for weeks. All those noises, explosions and the smell of gunpowder in the air just reminded

"Good morning." Ed mumbled towards the other person when he stepped into the elevator. He hadn't really looked who it was, too occupied with pondering over the best time to give Alex his Christmas gift and if what he had just bought was really the right thing. But when suddenly a, by now, very familiar voice lectured him that it was already midday, the blond immediately stiffened. Instinctively, he took a step back from the petite woman. It wasn't like he was afraid of her, but it was stil

"This is..." Alex's mother said, trailing off when she spotted the half-dozen empty beer bottles that were lined up on the windowsill and the overflowing ashtray on the coffee table. Fuck, I should have cleaned it up...why do I always procrastinate on doing this shit?! Ed thought and cursed himself for being such a sloppy, lazy pig. His panic increased when she walked over to his bookshelf and took out one of his many self-help books that he had bought in the misguided belief that they woul

Oh I'm definitely baking myself one as soon as I gather the ingredients. The only non-traditional baths I've ever taken have been with bath salts for sore injuries. I'll let those dead skin cells be. 🤣
-
"I have to leave now." Alex said when looking at the clock that was above Ed's old tv. It wasn't like he wanted to leave. But he knew, if he was late again, his mother would start to ask questions that he would rather avoid. Sure, she had figured out that he was gay, and to Alex’s surprise had simply just excepted it. But he was definitely not ready to tell her that he was actually dating a man that was only three years younger then her. If she finds out she will probably forbid me to ever see E

Orange date nut bread sounds delicious. I'd like to think elephants think we're cute. Apparently "When you soak in a milk bath, the dead skin cells are able to slough off more effectively."
-
Exactly. Alex wasn't grasping that. He was focused on trying to save money.
