Many, many thanks. After four years, I think Robin and I have reached a good understanding of our shared likes and dislikes in our stories. We’re going to try to wrap up some of our other stories, but I’m also eager to see what the next idea will be ( I think it’s her turn for the next whimsy...she sparked kidnap, I sparked lust, she sparked cuddlefish, and I suggested this one...yep, the next venture will be her thoughts).
Yes, those were great moments! Quin was befuddled throughout most of the story. It was fun to see him dive headfirst into the soulmate situation and it was wonderful to see Nolan take action like that.
Yes, considering where he was at the start of the story, it's great to see Elias being free and having all the fun he was denied up until he got the stone. We're glad you enjoyed the tale. We'll see this group again in the future.
You just started reading the story just in time. We're uploading the final chapter as I type, so I hope you find it as entertaining as we have! It's their first arc, so we will see them all again, in which we will remember what you said here about enjoying when werewolves shift for future ventures.
Yes, Caspin is viewed as a baby to his mother, despite being well into his adult years. And Etsu cares for Caspin the most. I imagine that there is at least one other family member that worries for him, but they're probably too cowardly/shy to speak up.
Sorry for the late response. We've both been busy and it's just been me doing the editing and posting and replies...anyway, in the case of this comment, Kaynen are certainly less species-ist(?) than Vulpans.
Also, Mat's not a "closet" bottom. His mates know he likes either way. He's as much of a switch as Quin is, if I'm not mistaken. If anyone would be a "closet" bottom it would be Pax, who rarely bottoms and never expresses how much he likes it.
