    GMA XII

    You have a remarkable way of showing us how time passes without making it a tedious affair; you turn months into memorable moments. I enjoyed this chapter; can’t wait until I can get my hands in a bottle of Liston myself. That is, if they ever export.

    Lyric Poems

    I enjoyed reading these. Valentines Day and Shopping touched me most. Thank you for sharing your work.
  3. Welcome. I’m very glad you’re here.
  4. This looks very interesting. It has been years since I pickled anything, but I still have lots of jars in the basement.

    GMA XI

    You ramped up my adrenaline and stress level right away. Your writing is far too good. This is a good thing, as I then experienced some relief later on. You also bring us all into the long slow realization of the tough road ahead for Brad, and the love of the people behind him who will be with him every step of the way. A tough chapter, very well written.

    Chapter 11

    Corbin has got several parallel lives going all at once: the farmer, the barista, and the respected Family man. All for the poor guy who just wanted to disappear in Idaho. I can't imagine Luca's Family not standing out like truckload of sore thumbs out there in Hailey. The next phone call to Harris should be about sorting that one out. And Harris' team is clearly compromised. He could use that information to mislead Stefano, leading him into a trap, even - but perhaps Stefano is too astute to be fooled or lured. Next chapter, please?
  7. What I specially like about this is that I feel as if you are speaking directly to me; as if you and I were sitting in front of the fire, and you were telling what was on your mind and heart. Thank you.
  8. What a meeting! Taking a turn about the garden with Death. And then? Oh, let me take Death to dinner with my brother and his Cupid. Oh, boy, you have my imagination working overtime. This is a splendid story, and I am enjoying each and every line. Thank you!

    Chapter 6

    Kevin reveals to us what he really wants and what he’s never really had: a man who wants him for who he is, as he is, and without having to hide it all. It’s painful, all the hiding you detail in this chapter. There is layer upon layer of costume and mask and paint, hiding Kevin as he really is. And that hiding means he lives with things blowing up and crashing down, time after time. Kissing Aaron in front of Duncan – will there be another shattering? And who will pick up his pieces again? Not Carver, and probably not Aaron, either. You are weaving a melancholy tale, but one which keeps calling out to me. I hope you will have more for us soon.

    Connect

    The joy of reconnecting with a friend never fades, at least not to me. And you’ve written it so very well.

    Chapter 8

    The preparation is done. The plans made, plots laid. Now for the execution: you realize this will make me wait far too long, right? I’m afraid of unforeseen surprises now...
  12. Good morning, everyone. Off to work! Calculus calls...
  13. Good morning everyone. Calculus is calling!
  14. I very much enjoyed that initial question. Fantastic responses, too. Thank you again for organizing this.
  15. Good morning everyone. I’m between classes: integration by parts today.
  16. I hope today brings you joy and some restorative peace. I continue to hold you in my thoughts.
  17. On the whole, you have written about solid notable progress. You are ascending the mountain; it is a happy sight.
  18. Good morning, everyone. Off to work in the snow...

    Chapter 9

    Oh, snuggle time was perfectly lovely. But events are moving, and how much time is left to Paul and Corbin? You brought us more storm clouds, Italian ones this time. The suspenseful music has been queued.

    Inadequate Joy

    That’s an awesome poem; I really liked the rhythm of the words you established. You drew me in, like the embrace in the first lines.

    Chapter 8

    Such a great chapter, in many respects. Paul and Corbin enjoy one another, and grow closer still. Only that cloud from New York remains on the horizon... you could post the next chapter soon, right?

    Sweet and Sour

    Big steps forward! Love how Don handled that bureaucratic pair. And how wonderful things worked out for Louis at the firm. Can I have Don some days? Everyone needs a decisive partner once in a while... great chapter!
  23. I’ll add my voice to @Mikiesboy. You could definitely add more, and I’d be very interested...
  24. This is such a hard piece to read. You write convincingly. Those friends ought to have listened rather than blathered, but then, blather can sometimes cover over the pain. Well done.
