Thirdly

*drops everything to read update* Eeeeeeeee. *happy little dance* I think it's time to point out the story's rating is mature.- Eeeeeeeee. *more happy dancing* It wasn’t until he traced his hands along Diarmad’s side that he noticed unlike him, Diarmad was still fully clothed. Tugging on his rumpled dress shirt, he demanded, "Off...." - You heard him, Di. Diarmad's shields were still fully in place. As he slightly probed them, they became even stronger. - Dagnabbit, Di! *flips table* Couldn't you at least tell him to wait and then explain why? All you had to do was show him the same, and everything should have been good. How did you manage to fuck up something so simple? - LMAO! Tell it like it is Landyn. Nico found himself lifted in the air and placed on the hastily closed piano lid. - Wait, on the piano? Well, at this point, I don't care where they get it on, just that they do it already. The window, the wall, the floor, the couch, the piano, the kitchen counter, on Nico's bike...I don't care where. Feeling the rapidly beating heart, he confirmed in a soothing voice, "I'm yours." - *throws confetti in the air* The world is right again, if only for only this moment! Things I also need to mention before I forget: 1. I still utterly ADORE Ivan and how he pretty much rescued Nico from his hangover even though he's clearly still mad at him. 2. Landyn is still the bestest bestie ever.

lmao! I'm indeed working on it, believe me.

Yes, I will definitely finish this one before starting anything else.

It's actually rare when I end anything on a cliffhanger, or so I think. That might change with a new project I'm working on, but I still don't know how that one will really turn out.

Glad you've enjoyed reading it thus far!

This is the story I'm currently work on now (since Cuddlefish is really slow going at the moment). Thus far, my solo stories have been in first person POV because: 1. I need the practice. 2. I want to get to the point where Robin's reactions are similar to the ones I give her on her work. 3. It's been helping me dive deeper into character building.

I'm glad you enjoyed the end. It was a bit frustrating and challenging wrapping up an older project such as this, but it was worth it.

Agreed.

Yes, in hindsight I see how it seems jarring. Though the scene's explained later, it's still a bit out there.

This is why I'm bad at reading poetry: My mind just made up a whole song around the whole thing. A mini rapper just popped up in my head... It's really good though, it flows and rhymes well. I like it!

Yes, I remember talking to Toma as we thought of the different levels of intimacy from one pair to the next.

I like to think I’m getting better at descriptive writing. But, then I remember that the final chapter of this was “hot-glued” together instead of properly ‘sewn seamlessly’ and I feel the tiniest bit of guilt.

Thanks for giving it a try. I warn that this one’s an older one, so it’s a bit more flawed.

Ansar is dramatic and outspoken up until things are serious, and then he doesn’t speak up when he should.

Yes, despite how good-looking they all are, no one envies the position Sindri’s in. The only tiny hope is that he is allowed to choose.

In terms of instalove: 1. These guys are alien dragons, they’re not built like humans despite sharing some of those genes. 2. This is a collaboration with Toma, whom even after marriage is an incredibly shy and innocent person fond of fluffy romance, leaving me all the dirty work (in this case, the smut, and have I mentioned she’s the married one? lol). 3. At least it wasn’t ‘love at first sight’...more like ‘love a few days later.’ Also, to be fair to Kelius, he’s the most animalistic out of all of them, so for him to run on instinct didn’t seem all that odd to me in this world. I do apologize for any inconsistencies since most of this story was written five years ago and I had to take on nearly all of the later chapters except segments of the final one). If the Solare’s a ‘President,’ then the Lunare’s the ‘Vice President.’

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.
