Jeff making over Simon will be interesting. I’m looking forward to that. It seems doubtful that Simon will learn to chase men as Freddie dies, but maybe he’ll learn to flirt successfully. I remain wary and unhappy about Simon’s mum; her gloom and doom is going to cast a pall over Simon’s relationship with her, and it could even fracture her connection to Niki. Does she see this? Lots to look forward to.

Hugs from me. I feel darkness and anxiety in this, but also light and peace from him who loves you.

This is a great snapshot of Brad’s life at Heroes Haven. It may seem odd, but the interaction around Henrik really got to me. Injuries we cannot see may be just as lasting and damaging as those we can. Thanks for writing this chapter.

Wow. The grilling and interrogation has begun. What a good thing Sandra never worked for the Inquisition. Troy’s answers were perfect. I’m delighted for Rhett. Helping him see his own worth truly will be a long task, but Dr. Petrucci’s actions may help. Great chapter!

I’m glad you enjoyed this ramble, and seeing new birds and woods. Our robins aren’t the same, but both bring us cheer. Can’t wait for for the small green shoots in the forest to bud and bloom. Thanks for reading and for your reactions.
-
I’m very glad these spoke to you. If you enjoy these scenes and visits too, then I am doubly happy.
-
How wonderful these birds visited you too! We seem to share a delight in their arrival, which gladdens me. I’m also happy you came along on my hikes. Thank you.
-
Funny to think that those robins still have hundreds of miles more to fly to the north. Mergansers are my favorite duck, perhaps because of their coif, but also because their visitation means spring is arriving at last. Thanks so much for reading these!
-
Not so lonely now that you’ve let me share it with you. Thanks for joining me. I’m so glad you came along.

In the woods, carcasses of old trees lie strewn upon a thousand autumns, ancient oaks’ bones mixed up with newly downed beeches, their hymns to the west wind forgotten by new buds and the deep, silent moss. From the hill, the world’s frantic frenzy appears but a minor commotion; the maples’ first hot blush at bold spring’s advances sets scandalized robins atwitter, yet they yield to grassy temptation. Mergansers appear unann

Chapter 13 Fare Thee Well
Parker Owens commented on Headstall's story chapter in Chapter 13 Fare Thee Well
Dawson’s departure was as sad as I thought it would be. How hard it is to say farewell to a close friend. I’m more struck by the echoes and shadows of Hank in this chapter. Chase may never escape these reminders of the man, but maybe they will fade into the background as he builds something new. Maybe now Hank will concentrate on finding his own way more constructively. I enjoyed this chapter! -
And I had such high hopes for Robert. He may have to find some other way to earn his place in that world, for a shattered lance and dented shield will not win him a place of honor or the hope of security.

And now we get to see the beauty of love flowing outwards, from Troy and Grant through the Quad Squad and now into Rhett. These people, through a simple chain of friendship, will change a whole community. For now, it’s great to see them lift Rhett into their warmth and light.

No, no. Let’s call it creative re-use.

What stands out to me in this chapter is just how much Brad appears able to serve as a stable center in his network of family and friends. This may be unusual for him, but it’s so good to see.
-
Grant’s mom wants him home, and to meet Troy, too! Almost as momentous an event as learning what Troy wants to teach him. Blood may be thick, but perhaps love is stronger still, more enduring. And maybe Sandra’s habits of a lifetime might weaken. Great chapter!

Chapter 76 Gemstones #1 and Gemstones #2
Parker Owens commented on Headstall's story chapter in Chapter 76 Gemstones #1 and Gemstones #2
Both of these play with the images of sand and precious stones to compare our personal treasure to the ordinary. Our most precious memories get lost in the sand of regular existence. Our happiest relationships get lost in the tumult of day to day living. These express the sadness of these notions very well. -
I feel the isolation and loneliness you speak of so eloquently. All my students are gone, and I have to teach them online. It’s not at all the same. I cannot sit with you, but we share the emptiness of our enforced solitude.

It truly is. Thank you.

I really enjoyed this chapter. I can relate to Grant’s aches and hurts. He’s so lucky to have Troy with him. That realization, plus Brian’s words, must have put Grant on a higher peak than any lift could have done.
-
Simon is fortunate to have Jeff for his friend. Perhaps Simon will be able to develop a little more to see that people who ask to help you - good people like Jeff - do so out of kindness and compassion, and maybe even a little more than that. Jeff is only out of Simon’s league because he believes it to be so. Great chapter.

So, good luck to Dawson, farewell Hank. Chase might have found some peace about his family, and especially concerning his mother. He is maybe entering a similar place concerning Hank. It would be good for Chase to have a friend in Hank again. Now he can open himself to new experiences, and maybe one day a relationship that blooms fully.
