Thirdly

The only reason Finian considers Simon a friend now is only because he's already mated to Alistair and no longer holds any jealousy over him. With a pair of jealousy-free eyes, he realized that Simon has helped Allie considerably through the years...Simon is to Allie what Jack is to Fin, besties. That being said, Hazeth is an example of "don't believe everything you hear." He's flirty, playful, and has dated in the past...but, he's not really a player as the rumors stated. Simon is a case of "what goes around comes around." As Alistair stated, for years Simon has avoided being "landed" by a needy Maiden. We also saw hints of how selfish a lover he was in his youth. If he wants Amshel (which he really, really does...Amshel is his "ideal," educated, naughty, open-minded, and beautiful), he's going to have to work for it.

Ah, you're finally in the wonderful Zeth x Win chapters. Robin and I adore those two.

We're glad you enjoyed it! We haven't seen the last of these guys or this universe.

Yes, easily distractable, to both to Renke's amusement and chagrin.

Agreed!

Yes, Andy has quite an adventure.

Drawings of Andy, the twins, and some of the others are here-

Thank you for trusting us enough to read through to the end. We're glad you enjoyed the story overall!

We both agreed to Fin's fate because he is a very strong and generally balanced character. There was no doubt in our minds that he'd use that terrible experience to reach out to others and fight for the future.

How about you continue the tale here instead: https://www.fictionpress.com/s/3331325/10/Lust-and-Chastity

And now you know why I laughed earlier at the notion of Alistair being an Elder.

This was actually more of a foreboding chapter for later on...

Hush you, it's not a completion contest. It's my personal tastes and enjoyment...and I do absolutely adore the imp and angel series sooooo much.

No, absolutely not. Allie's something, but not an Elder.

Oh. BIG warning on this one. A bonfire happens towards the final chapters where there were outcries on behalf of Finian. If you dislike any rape scenes, I suggest you read the slightly tamer version of this story here (where the rape scene does not really happen): https://tapas.io/series/Lust-and-Chastity

I vaguely remember the conversation before we formally introduced Galieth. If I'm not mistaken, Robin asked me to design and write him...and I was so darn excited to have a Sepida character of my own that I didn't even care that he was a spoiled punk of a bully.

Yes, another similar line about dimensions occurs later on if I'm not mistaken.

Told ya.

Lmao! Then, Zane's in the same club.

Yes. What forever tickles my funny bone is how clever and intelligent Pip is. Zane has an inkling of it, but won't grasp just how intelligent Pip is until later.

I almost forgot! @craftingmom also has amazing work that I read on another site and have to re-read back here where things are more organized. And there are also some stories of @Cia's that I've been dying to get to. Totally did not mean to forget authors starting with the letter 'C' on purpose. Coincidence, coincidence!

That's amazing. You have great timing, joining GA during the little CTM revelries. Hmm. Let's see, some of my personal favorites (in case you haven't come across them yet) are: Just about anything by: @Rambling Robin @aditus @Timothy M. @Rob Colton @Puppilull Though I haven't read all their work so far, I also vouch for: @ObicanDecko @Valkyrie @Hellsheild @Thorn Wilde @Starrynight22 There are loads more amazing stories and authors on GA, though.

Yeah, this one scene. Absolutely nothing compared to scenes to come.

*snickering* the words 'rambling worry' are so ironic, as it's @Rambling Robin's character. I love it.

Yes, the main pair is still Pip and Zane. But, we wanted to show what was happening on Tilbei's end, as well.
