"Stacked deck" Efrain is going to have his hands full with four of them in the house. I missed being able to write in Preston and Indie's voices (yeah, I need to do a Indie PoV soon!). They have their own drama building up, so you'll see more in up-coming chapters.

Yeah, them showing up seems a little drastic, so there is a chance their intentions are not the best. And, you know this is going to make Cory's emotional state swing even more violently.

Darlin', you're hardly old, so quit fussing! But, I'll get that next chapter out as soon as I can, I swear. Glad you enjoyed this one.

Cory's support system is huge, and growing by the minute. Now, we have to figure out whether or not those brothers of his are going to join in.

Don't let them see that "love is contagious" bit, or they'll start avoiding each other like the plague, and I'll never wring love confessions out of them!

I'd had the "Indie's being nice to me" line in my notes for MONTHS, but almost didn't get to use it. Also, I owe you a big fucking thank you for your input on bowl games--my dearth of knowledge was another hang up keeping the chapter from happening.

Thanks, Carlos. I think this chapter took so long because I was worried about connecting all the points between A and B.

I'm hard at work on chapter 6. Glad this cliffhanger didn't have you picking up the pitchfork!

Most certainly goners! Both of them are falling into things they'd said they wouldn't do, and neither can really help themselves. Love is a bitch.

Yup, af means "as fuck." It's one of those things I picked up from younger people at work and social media. Indie's issues are a little complicated--jealousy is def in there, but only slightly.

Trust Preston to get in on the action. Fun fact: I actually chatted up a guy on OKCupid who could do balloon animals with his junk. He said he had to do a lot of stretching at what not, but it didn't hurt too much. Alas, I was never able to orchestrate a hookup to see it irl.

Both. It was bad enough for the poor straight bro to be exposed to two dudes totally getting it on, but factor in that he knows who those dudes are and it's enough to keep a guy up at night. Too many straight guys think men who are gay or bi are fruity and campy, and thus really easy to spot.

Happy Happy Happy Birthday Mikie-kie-kie!

So Little Magic Left is one of GA's "Must Read (Again and Again and Again and...) Stories."

I looked up his selfies when you mentioned them in Winter. Burgess is kinda how I see Warren from the MetaWolf series. As for measurements, Cory is 5'11" and 210lbs (Efrain is 6'1" and 195lbs).

Yeah, Cory's definitely bigger. Like I said, I was actively looking for a look-a-like, just stumbled upon him. And, yeah, Greg Olsen would be a good size reference (he might be a good look-a-like for Connor). Although, while I was looking Olsen up, I stumbled upon Luke Kuechly. Give him blonde hair and he'd be pretty Cory-like at any age.

Wild Card Chapter 5—Rally the Troops If I’d been more awake, I’d probably be amazed at the engineering that went into making Cory’s cat—the amount of irritation Lola was able to produce was far greater than the sum of her tiny furry parts. I woke at the asscrack of dawn, for the fourth time since I went to bed, to a small paw batting at my nose and her small, but insistent, meows. She’d perched herself on my chest, somehow resting all her slight weight on one front paw, directly over a bru

Fallout 4 is an open-world RPG. There's also some building and crafting stuff in there, so it's kinda like Skyrim and The Sims mated and had a post-apocalyptic baby. Anyways--was looking at pics of hot guys with kittens, cause that's how the Dayne do, and came across this pic. It's not a perfect match as Cory is blonder and less scruffy, Lola is more orange than grey, and a certain someone won't turn his phone on, but still....

It's interesting how all the guys dropped the "y" off their names, but it's not surprising. They've really grown into thoughtful young men (something, I'm sure, had nothing to do with a certain guy in Miami). What is surprising is that Shawn attempted suicide is the first time Daleville has experienced the remnants of that Godforsaken cult. Even though their high school culture fosters acceptance and inclusion (how they managed that with such a intolerant school board is amazing), their community at large still harbors hateful people. How else could such an abhorrent excuse for Christianity be permitted to gain a foothold in their town? And, it isn't just the hateful who posed a threat. David's abuser had been a member of the church and community, and had open access to many children and teens. It's plausible that even more victims are out there.

4k now, 4 out of 5 scenes written. Just in case you wanted to know

I've already beaten the main quest line, as well as the secondary quest lines and those that came with the 5 DLC. You don't want to know how many hours I sank into that. But yeah, I'm now bored with it for now. Plus, I'm kinda not into a game that makes you feel like an asshole no matter who you side with. I'm up to 3k on chapter 5, so there is that.

Could point y'all to the alts I posted on Literotica under a different title..... Work is going kinda slow on chapter 5. Had some issues to work through on pacing and events. Plus, I kinda got addicted to Fallout4. Like hella addicted.

I did have a lot of fun with Preston in the roommate scene, and Efrain in the truck scene. Efrain can be really sweet--he just doesn't like others to know.

I think that explains CJ's maturity CHOMP! (is that why Lourdes is from UF?) Thanks, Lisa When the hubs and I settle in our TBD location (yeah, can't wait to gtfo San Antonio), I'll be working on getting my PhD so I can work with new teachers. Maybe I can prepare them for what awaits them better than I was. I never thought of myself as a "Nifty writer" or a "LitE writer", just a writer who posted to those sites, but I definitely feel owned here. ^.^ Letting this feature lag would be a dark...er...black mark on our record A lot of peace in writing. I may have put on a few pounds, but I'm in a much better place than I was at the beginning of June. I think the things you identify as special are what keep the EPIC guys locked in my head. Kinda like the difference between a lover and a fuck buddy--you may get more sex with the fuck buddy, but it becomes tedious and stale after awhile without all the little things that come with the lover. I'm kinda embarrassed by those earlier attempts. I'm glad you stuck with me

I'm happiest when I'm making your keyboards sticky. My sabbatical has been wonderful. I probably won't return to the k12 system anytime soon, but when I do, I'll be there to shake things up. Lemme guess, a 'Cane? I can forgive that (as long as you aren't a 'Nole). I specified inches for everyone but Preston, and kinda wished I hadn't. "Average", "above average", and "secretly smuggling a Louisville Slugger" woulda worked just fine for them. Hell, I might just go back and fix that (So, if y'all notice a bunch of edits in the coming days, it's just me messing with their junk). I don't think he's picked up on it, but I've been calling him "An Author Darkly" whenever he's in chat. I still post to LitE (and keep going back and forth on posting to Nifty), but always forget to post chapters until weeks later. It doesn't help matters that posting to GA is hella easy and lets me control more of what I put up. So, new CC coming up? I've been thinking of my own questions since Dark popped into chat a couple weeks ago. And, I love yours, too!
