Thirdly

Ah, that's only if Elias cooperates and actually does talk it out, since our little rebellious omega's something else. And yes, Pax is a sweetheart. He's very grounded.

Humming birds and butterflies...Pax is the humming bird and Elias is the butterfly? I really, really hope that you tell us your opinions of ALL the boys as they appear! Thanks so much for commenting.

Passion sounds about right for Mateo, yes. But, he's not the most passionate. Thank you for the condolences.

Pax is reliable and responsible, Mateo's sweet and affectionate, Elias is...Elias. But, my most favorite (and I'm pretty sure it's @Rambling Robin's favorite, too...*devious chuckling*) still won't make his appearance for a couple of more chapters.

As I said, these boys are trouble and trouble keeps finding them. Fin and Ali have been doing quite well. The Montcroix are such a prominent influence in Zirao Zion that Rathburn wouldn't dream of targeting them until after he amasses his own forces, which is why he's targeting Peraza first.

@Rambling Robin and I would agree with you there! And yes, Penni's a royal. He's Winter's cousin. If you liked him, you'll REALLY love Winter.

He has no clue that Andy slipped out.

You've got a great nose.

They are trouble. And trouble does find them.

We hope you continue enjoying this one. I wonder what everyone will think about the other mates, ha ha ha.

We're glad you've enjoyed it thus far.

And I'm looking forward to see if everyone has a different favorite character!

Thank you, there will be more next Thursday.

We are just as enthusiastic about this as you are, believe me.

We have so much in store for this story, I can barely contain my enthusiasm. The next update should be on Thursday.

Thank you for the birthday wishes! This one should be updated on Thursdays, if all goes well.

Yeah, he even kept the front door unlocked in case he wanted to bolt out of there (at least until he got him a copy of the house key). Pax is fairly accommodating. But, he's not my favorite. You will know who my favorite is in a couple of more chapters. And thanks for the birthday wishes!

Is Tavo the one about the werebears and werefelines and stuff? If so, then yes I have tried to beg her to write more on it a while back. I'll try again whenever she catches a break from her swamped schedule (she's a mom of more than 4 kids + work + college). Prophylaxis is my top fave of hers, so I always default to begging for that one the most, ha ha ha.

We love all our stories equally and they will all eventually be completed, unless something grave happens to either of us in real life...like childbirth or surgery. Aside from this story, which became a holiday project of fun for ourselves and we went waaay overboard and have a good bunch of chapters on it already, our plan is to complete Kidnapping is Always an Option (or at least update one more chapter to it) and then, of course, Cuddlefish.

@Rambling Robin and I are glad to hear it! This one should be updated consistently on Thursdays, if all goes well.

By the way, it's my birthday. So comments/reviews count as triple presents!

Not forgotten, but won't be updated for a while. Our writing groove's in another story right now, though it's a shame that this one hasn't been getting any love despite our own love of it.

Recently re-read this story. Still love every last bit of it. And now I wonder if Ayil has anyone and, if he doesn't, I request an Ayil spin-off. I request it hard.

Thrice is Enemy Action...ok, here goes. *snuggles up like a caterpillar beneath a woven poncho and starts reading* Dagnabbit, it says to read Cupid Central first. I vaguely remember it from the last time I read it, so here goes another re-read. I'll be right back! Eeee, so it was Theliel that shot them? That's awesome! 'Cupid Central angels tended to dismiss the work of the A.I. teams as ‘too easy.’ Where was the challenge when these couples were ‘meant for each other’ beforehand? You didn’t have to observe and test or make a decision; you didn’t even have to hit them with arrows.' - HA! The Angel and Imp would have CHOICE words in response to that. Angel Blaasom’himmeloghav and Imp Jegskakommefterdig- For some reason, I was able to read Angel's name just fine in my head, but I stumbled on Imp's. Sablo had to take a crash course in Danish since his mission involved a seven-year-old Dane with a heart condition. - Now, that just makes me curious as to what HIS mission's about. Ayil shrugged. “Anything to prevent your grouchy blond guardian from yelling at me when he misses you.” Theliel’s mouth dropped open in surprise. “Sablo wouldn’t do that.” “Oh, yeah? Why do you think I was so pleased when you solved the case in Australia faster than expected?”- LMAO! I LOVE this crossover. It's amazing. “Look! I never had this before.” - *dying of laughter* Oh you precious and previously genderless thing...it's all over now. “Ya want me to make booby traps for any angel or devil who wanna invade our privacy?” - LMAO! (Warning: sexual content) - YAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYY!!! “Fuck the rules, and fuck the Upper Deck, and forget about cupids ‘n’ arrows. I’ve wanted ya since we won the Viking mission, and if lovin’ ya is the price, then I’m gonna pay it for eternity.” - Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee~ All he could do was whimper and clench one hand in the comforter and the other around one of Imp’s cute horns. - hee hee, yep, just take him by the horns. “I’m gonna fuck ya now, gonna show ya how it’s done. Afterwards, you’re gonna suck my cock, and then I’ll ride yer long blue pole to damnation and back. Do ya understand?” - LMAO! He certainly has a plan there, doesn't he? “Speaking of which…” Angel deliberately tensed a specific part of him against Imp’s muscular stomach. “I seem to recall you promised to teach me to suck your cock and fuck your ass?” “Fuckin’ Hell and damnation, I’ve created a monster!” - Dying...dying. *rolls around* I'm so happy. This was such a glorious ending, and it was worth the wait 10 times over! Those two are so precious. I'm gonna miss them so much. A part of me wants to see Ayil get with someone, but I'll probably have to take that up with @aditus, right? Either way, this was such a good read. I loved it.

And I don’t wanna get smeared with yer stupid silver tears or holy blue glitter. Yuk!” - Holy blue glitter! Ha ha ha. 'Same gender couples have the odds stacked against them in many cultures and times, but if the Powers That Be see fit to gift two males with a destiny of love, they deserve the best chance of success. And right now, your A.I. team is the only one with a good record in the most challenging cases.' - Yall are the best of the best, that's why. Did the ‘upper deck’ have a plan and a good purpose, as well as a wicked sense of humor? Or were the Powers That Be taken by surprise too? Angel had demanded new challenges. But you know what they say: Be careful what you wish for… - *rolling around on the ground* I just adore those two sooooooo much.
