Yes, I get a kick out of drunk Eli, too (we've @Rambling Robin to thank for that) . Oh, there's nothing wrong with Omegas finding humans as mates, it's fairly common. Both weres and vamps adore humans. Vampires are willing to share their humans, but the werewolves are not. Khonsu has them paranoid that the vamps will turn the humans (which they only ever do with consent, or else Anubis would come down on them, it's about their only rule to respect humans). I went off on a tangent. The point is that Omegas can have humans for mates and we will see more examples of that later on. If we talk about healing and peacemaking, Elias and Pax have that literally covered. Inner peace and the need for healing, however... And, yes, Eli will apparently bite them so hard they will cry. I love those lines.

*whispers* He's already our favorite, too. Don't let the other characters know.

I can't even...but, yes!

Glad you're enjoying it so far.

Nicely theorized. Now, let's hide you away before they find us out.

I'm more of a fantasy writer (for the fun and flexibility of it), so it always surprises me when others enjoy my non-fantasy stories and collaborations. I admit that I have completely forgotten about the progress I was making with this particular tale (a lot is written for it, it's just not properly organized and segmented into chapters). When I next get a chance, I will definitely try to work more on this one.

Ah, but that would mean that he would have to actually concede to that order. What if Rathburn ends up in the dining hall and they have to play pretend? Not that he would go that route (specifically the 'face in inner thighs'), but the point is that he would have to somehow abide by that promise (even if he argued the 'I can in other rooms?' bit). Hazeth'd be "honor bound" not to ever from then forward come near Winter's inner thighs, and if they end up being official, it would come back to bite him in the butt later.

I think he does stick to Win, because there is no other mention of him calling Winter 'Winnie' after this, he really was just joking. And it was Winter who brought it up in public "I liked you fine until you started nuzzling my...my unmentionable places!" Hazeth was just trying to defend himself (albeit not in the most tactful way, tsk tsk).

Yes, unfortunately, January's introduction also heralds the chaos to come.

When it comes to hotness, I do believe there is a scene or two with a higher temperature later on. Stephen King, huh? January's definitely winter fire itself, ha ha ha.

This is only the beginning. January's grown on us something fierce, ha ha. I didn't expect for Robin to come to adore him so hard. I knew she'd get a kick out of him, I just didn't realize just how fun he would turn out to be. We were just talking about how Elias and his boys would have been loads more hesitant to come anywhere near a vampire had they not had a few drinks first. Also, I can neither confirm nor deny the possibility of coming across Quinlan in the future.

Oh, yes. I would do my best to make it as funny as possible, even through his hardships, ha ha. Thank you for reading.

Let's see, so far, it's 4 for 'yes,' 3 'neutral,' and 1 'no.' It might very well happen.

The story started with a prompt (thanks @Cia !) and became a fun little endeavor. Quite ironically, my sibling (who was the inspiration for Seth), ended up finding a boyfriend with a few Liam-like traits somewhere down the line in real life. Maybe the universe heard my plea. I'm glad you enjoyed his tale. Thank you for reading.

I love my siblings equally. The best part about being the youngest was that I was too young to have witnessed the bad blood that sparked up between the oldest two. It got really bad...I'm talking soap opera bad where there were lies, betrayal, and money being stolen while one of them eloped and the other went off into the military. I could write my own soap opera based off of them alone. Since I wasn't in the mix at the time, I have no right to judge, so I don't. Wow, I went off on a tangent there. The in-law introductions! I imagine every family reacts differently. My family's welcoming and help the newcomer loosen up with a drink. Generally by the end of the day, the new person knows whether we liked them or not...were they invited to watch the game? Were they invited to play board/card/video games? Were they lured over to a gossip corner where cousins or sibling bring up embarrassingly hilarious childhood stories? If they answered yes to any of those questions, then they're practically part of the family already. If they start joking around with the new person during the next family gathering, then they're officially family. Even if we never see the new person again, we'll start asking amongst ourselves "Hey, what happened to so and so's boyfriend/girlfriend? We saw him/her more than once, so it looked serious..." I'm glad that in your case, she spoke up about it so you guys were better prepared the next time. Thanks for sharing your anecdote! I love hearing about different perspectives and experiences.

If the next story happens, there will probably be another emotional rollercoaster of some kind. Thanks for reading. I'm glad you enjoyed it.

LMAO! I wondered if anyone was going to say that 'doesn't this seem like a conglomeration?' I did think about spacing it out, I kept contemplating it and babbling to @Rambling Robin about it. But, then over the holidays, Seth's real life reference person started dating a guy that was similar to Liam in certain ways and for a good little while I worried about feeling awkward writing Seth's point of view. It took on this whole different 'outside looking in' perspective where I didn't want Ken (the person my real sibling's dating) to bleed into Liam's already established character...just when I thought that writing out a character similar to my sibling was safe! But, everything turned out okay in the end. I'm glad we managed to wrap those two up. As for Michael, he was a young and rambunctious college student who meant well. He only teases family, so we ended up seeing the brunt of his teasing though the eyes of his closest sibling. If I really do end up writing his story, he'd definitely mature in spades. I always laugh and wince at the same time whenever you point out his flaws, since Michael has a good little deal of my younger self in him. The parallels were unintentional, but I was goaded by Robin to bring him to fruition, regardless (why does this sound so wrong now? lmao). Anyway, if I ever do tackle a story around him, I hope you give it a chance.

Both. Both is good (ending/new beginning). I'm glad you liked it, and that's one vote for Michael. Let me keep a little tally sheet.

When the sun rose, Michael and I had to convince a reluctant Liam to head out to work. My brother accompanied me to a domestic violence restraining order clinic, and we began the application for a temporary restraining order. We were then assigned to a court and handed the paperwork over to the Bailiff. In the days that followed, everything felt like a whirlwind to me. I had to explain my situation at work, with family, and with friends. The paperwork was processed, and Kris was served. We

Well, we hope the chapters to come continue to quench that thirst.

And we hope you continue to have fun while reading!

Yes on Tyr being their mate eventually. Ah, the letters were smuggled out by trusted hands, Andy's parents. That part will probably be covered later. As for the bed being a 'ruin,' I believe Winter meant the fact that when Andy rushed over to hug him, he took the blanket with him, exposing them both. Or it could have even meant the fact that 2 beasts and 2 naked men were on them, I'll have to ask @Rambling Robin about that later.

They're all different facets of the same soul. Some just have more stubbornness or more patience than others. How should I describe mate number 3? Intimately wild? Charmingly adaptive? Lonely. That about sums it up.

Yes, Mateo is learning and he's willing to keep trying, which makes all the difference. Pax is so invested in his mates, he's something else. The gods knew what they were doing, leading Elias to Pax first. Also, -evil snickering- give mate number 3 a chance, he has his charms.

He didn't know what he was doing, as he never climbed a ladder to the attic before. But, hopefully he'll trust his mates a little more from now on. And yessss he'll finally be here, our favorite. Even though we shouldn't play favorites with our own characters, ha ha.
