That was an intense chapter, Lit. I'm very curious about Kel and his history with Jenson. Who is he? I agree with Tim. I feel sorry for Jenson, losing someone he cares about, but I am relieved for Kel. That would be a horrible way to exist. Although Kel was the most compelling part of this chapter, I was also curious about Audra and this redhead. Is there some past history there?

All I can say is - I know what this feels like.

Great chapter Gary. Nate has been through a lot so the nightmares aren't a surprise. Kendall understands where he's coming from so he's not alone there. Bodie also understands the scar. It's fortunate that Bodie met Nate. Nate would would have eventually gotten better with the support of his family, and especially having his uncles as role models of what could be. Bodie had supportive parents, but he seems to have lost everything else. There's no telling where his life would have gone. Now he has Nate, and can also have Michael and Kendall as role models. The reunion between Michael and Kendall was sweet. I was wondering if Michael was missing work. He's an active man so "sitting around" while his knee healed would eventually drive him crazy with boredom.

Great chapter, Lit. I think Merrick is having fun teasing Jenson now. He can tell he's getting to him and he seems confident enough to climb the walls that vampire built. I'm very curious about Kel. There's a story there that is eating at Jenson. I wonder how long it will take him to finally talk. And I like Audra. She doesn't seem to take any crap from anyone.

I can't believe I missed reviewing this chapter. I may have been distracted by the shower scene This was a great chapter for Michael. He got the chance to try his "dad" hat on for size. I think he did a great job. It's good that Kendall guessed they would have a late night visitor. That could have been awkward. lol I would have loved to have role models like Michael and Kendall when I was a teen. Nate is a lucky young man. Excellent chapter Gary.

I really enjoyed this POV. Nate has been through a lot and I liked getting his take on what happened and what he's feeling, unfiltered by someone else's perspective. I figured there was more to what happen than what Nate had already disclosed and the box cutters confirmed that. The idea that he actually researched how to do it properly was sad, but very realistic, and showed how serious he was. Bodie is a perceptive young man if he caught on. Crushes that age are tough and it could have easily been the case that Bodie was straight. I like Michael's attitude that fear of rejection can't keep you from living. Another great chapter Gary. I would be curious to see how Nate and Bodie cope with going to school together and how much Nate is willing to disclose to Bodie about his experiences in Edmonton.

The scene in the back yard was hot. I think this is the first time that Jenson initiated anything I with Merrick. I don't think he's going to need the whole month to get what he wants

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LACEY! Have a great day bud!

The sexual tension between these two is like a pressure cooker. It's going to explode at some point. (Or they will) lol The scene with Kel was sad. I'm very curious to learn more about him, and who he is to J.

Although your friend's relationship is tainted by betrayal, it will hopefully give him some comfort to know that your friendship is still honest and true.

Wow Michael did much better with the mall than I would. Crowds and I don't get along. It looks like Nate is getting mote comfortable with his life right now, with a lot of help from his uncles, and now Bodie - but kids are so mercurial that his mood could change in a minute. Bodie's mother seems like a good person. I wonder what happened with Bodie that made her so sad. Hopefully Nate (and M & K) can help him deal with whatever happened. And Kendall? He's my kind of romantic

Merrick is a smart man who seems to know his friend very well. It's going to be fun watching him get Jenson to "relax"

The scene in the gazebo was hot. I wonder how long J is going to be able to hold out now that older, hotter and more confident Merrick is within reach? I'm curious about the vampire in Jenson's house. Who is he? What happened when Jenson was 27? Another great chapter Lit.

I think as time goes on Russ is realizing more and more just how much Evan needed him, not the other way around. He took for granted that Evan was the strong twin. I think that Evan's weight loss was more evidence of how much Evan relied on him. I wonder, now that Russ doesn't feel so alone, if he will be retreating into his own mind less often? Heaven help Chris and Jacob when those twins try to convince their men to move to the same house I hope things go well with the other relatives, but the twins will be just fine without them. If anything I hope for Isa's sake that her family doesn't turn their backs on them. She could use the support to stand up to the over-bearing husband.

It's great that Kurt finally got Jacob back. He seemed like he was well into a bout of depression that could have made him whither. I don't quite understand how Jacob because a poltergeist though. He haunted the knife, so how did his spirit know to go to the compound? Why didn't he latch on the Kurt's location? I feel badly for Ethan. I would imagine he hasn't had a lot of physical contact. Maybe there could be a possible connection with Nevala since he doesn't seem to be affected by the electricity? A quick question about Tavi - he is Nevala's "familiar"? What exactly does that entail? Can Tavi turn "human"? Is this a best friend situation or something more?

Nevala is an interesting character. Do Phoenix's age? I think he will be able to teach Tristan a lot about his heritage, but that's only if he's trustworthy. Micah seems to be trying to make amends, in his own way, both to Tristan and to Peter. I'm not sure Peter is ready to forgive and forget yet, but I think Micah being thoughtful enough to bring him the blanket will help. I'll keep my fingers crossed that they can bring Jacob back soon. I'm not sure how Kurt will be able to handle him being gone. The knife he haunted is destroyed, what can tie him to the earth now? Kurt? One question though - when Kurt dies eventually what would happen with Jacob? Can he follow him?

Well now we have an explanation for some of Micah's anger issues, especially towards Peter. Shapeshifters would be really hard to deal with. How would you recognize one when you saw them? I feel for Tristan. I assume this means that his brother is actually dead. Everything he has known is now gone.

Merrick jumping Jenson was pretty hot. It took me a minute to remember the Heltarians and their scent, but I can see that being a little like "liquid courage". Either way, Merrick knows he can turn Jenson on. Looking forward to the reunion.

I really liked this chapter. I like all of your work, but this chapter really spoke to me. At Nate's age he is still fragile and unsure about what his sexuality means and his father cut him deeply with his rejection. Having Mark admit his mistakes and have a plan to atone for those mistakes is huge. Before that call from Megan, Nate thought he not only lost his best friend, first crush, school, and friends but he also thought he lost his dad. Now he has hope that his dad is back on his side and his family has a chance to be stronger than ever. I think it was also very important for Nate to hear his usually soft spoken grandfather fiercely defend him. If things do end badly with Mark after this - not that I think they will, but IF - then he knows he will have some very strong men ready to protect him and love him, no matter what.

I think Rob's plan is good, but I also see why Eric doesn't want he and Nelson to be treated like pawns in a chess game. I did enjoy the talk. Rob may be pushy, but he has a big heart. He is trying to make sure Eric is happy, but until the GSA issue he kept forgetting to ask Eric what he wanted first. I think he is finally learning though. Great chapter Tim

Happy birthday bud! Have a great day!

Another great chapter, Lit. The history of Anglia is very interesting and adds more dimension to this world. Jenson is obviously haunted by something. Is it the brown eyed vampire? Who is he? Merrick's hero worship seems to have morphed into puppy love. I wonder what Jenson will think when he finally realizes.

Great chapter CG. I don't think any of these boys (except maybe Jay) would have expected to find happiness and acceptance on a farm, and in a barn. Jay's parents are special people. I think they'll be surprised by Ben, but I know they would never judge him. I have a feeling that Cal's grandmother knows what Ben means to Cal. I think she would be happy to see her grandson smiling again. That wrestling match was HOT. Now who won?

One of my favourite things about Eric and Nelson is that they talk and try to be honest with each other. I'm happy they are continuing to do that. As for the full prom experience? I think that Eric will make sure that Nelson will experience all of his fantasies and more

The price of beauty can be pretty high. In the past (and even now) those people paying the price didn't always get a choice if they wanted to pay.
