    Chapter 4

    This trip into an alternate eighties universe is priceless, and just got better. Philippe? Jared? Oh, boy. Can't wait for the next chapter...

    Chapter 3

    Yes, but what is the right kind of luck on this night? And if Scott gets it, how badly will the time paradoxes screw him over?

    It's not a PC fret but if my leg is done enough to be included in the feast...

    Thank you, Moggy. Glad you liked the spices of the waning summer. Goodness, I haven't even thought about Autumn...

    Cannibalistic? You're not pulling my leg are you? Thank you very much for coming to this buffet today...

    A nice warm spice for the harvest table. Should we not see what all the flavors are like? Thanks for reading!

    Volition

    Oh, yes, definitely. Better than a hurried breakfast, no? Thank you!

    Take me, willing prey for predatory pleasure; devour my desire, consume my craving; my feast spread out in front of you awaits: taste and touch, tooth and tongue, and flesh to be savored.

    No, I thank you, dear Def. These characters abide in me and all who read about them. And through them we hear echoes of Skinny's voice. I hope I was faithful to it. The past is unwinding for David and Andy, even as their futures gather up joy. I am glad these few chapters were happy ones.
  10. How hard it must have been for Liz to confront Caleb, despite needing to slog through her own guilt and despair. How hard for her to deliver the stinging lesson to get Caleb to look beyond the borders of a devastated self. You portray this intensely and well.

    1-4 - The Truth

    This is devastating in its directness and its vivid description. Poor Caleb, poor Mrs Pallet. And poor, hurt, unhappy Ethan.

    Ending

    I am sorry you hurt, Moggy. You write the ache so well, but I am sorry that you feel it.
  13. I check my activity streams to see, but I agree it's a bit odd. Anyway, you again demonstrate your gift for portraying searing action in this chapter. How incredibly hard it must have been for Ethan, and now Caleb. Well written and gripping.

    Chapter One

    Will Trevor be so anxious as to get sick 10 miles out of town? Sounds like it could happen. This is a very interesting setup. There appears to be so much for Trevor to come to terms with, and not just his burgeoning feelings for Dustin.
  15. Thank you! These two men growing together are fun to imagine. And you're right that traditions old and new help build a relationship.

    Yes, life is often an alloy, not pure metal. Better if the mixture is heavier on hope than hurt, though. I think Andy and David have both found hope. Thanks.

    That in itself is a most marvelous comment. Thank you.
  18. Thank you! I broke out a lovely bottle of red...
  19. Thank you, oh favorite Blue Bear. I am both smiling, and dancing, discreetly.

    Thank you very, very much for your comments. I am glad you can directly relate to the setting. I have spent many lovely fall days there, too. Alas, our friend Skinny passed away earlier this year. This story was meant to be a collaboration between the two of us; he asked me to finish it, using the notes we'd made.

    Thank you so much for reading this story, and for your kind comments. These moments with our friends were hard to write, but very fulfilling. Skinny's voice must have been channeled, as I knew when it finally felt right. I hope he can rest easy, even as he inspires us all. Thanks again.

    Thank you, my brother. You have it exactly right. Their healing will take a long time, but it seems as if the love of their other halves will help wholeness to develop. And the story is tribute both to Skinny, and to the characters we both created. Thanks so much for reading this, and for your kind and generous comments.
  23. It has been deeply humbling, if also very encouraging. Thank you, Dodger. It is indeed a day for a big smile.
  24. It is so very humbling, too. But this lovely news has not prevented me from breaking out into a smile my students don't quite understand. Thanks, Carlos - for your kindness and support, and for waking up early, too.
