If only lol SHUT UP JEFF!

You aren’t allowed to bait me!

No she definitely has scales.

“Quick dip” 🙄 …. I almost said something.

Yeah I got lucky in that aspect my old man kicked the bucket before he found out and if he had I knew he would have thrown me out on my ass too. I don’t think it would have lasted forever though, my dad wasn’t the type to hold a grudge forever, I believe it in my heart eventually he would have gotten over it because he would have missed me, but it would have been a long estranged road to get there, it still would have been a better experience to what actually happened later though. One thing I didn’t have was friends. It was just me, I think if I had, had that emotional support I would have faired better, at least then the demons wouldn’t have been pushing into my chest so hard.

Oof we had some mirrors mate lol. i was emancipated at 16, truth of it was someone needed custody of me after my dad died and I was probably the only one capable of doing it justice. You’d also think that being at the end of the 20th century it’d be easy to not starve to death, but by 1999, I was the thinnest I’d ever been in my life. It was so cold that winter, I’d wake up at 3am absolutely freezing but I’d be also sweating with my heart rate trying to thump itself out of my chest. I found out later my cardiovascular system was on overdrive trying to keep me alive and that during those fits my pulse rate and blood pressure were so high it was amazing I didn’t blow the whole system out from the pressure alone. The body does strange things when it’s trying not to die.

lmfao I laughed way too hard at the comment and even longer at this gif

Damn dude. That's honestly all I can say. This was one hell of a share, and I look forward to the next one.

This is honest, brutal and heart breaking. But more importantly it's a true look into someone's soul. The names may have changed, but the details are true, and the author has way more courage than I do to put himself out there like that. It's a lesson in vulnerability we all should probably learn.

Oh trust me I get it. I have my moments where I wanna fight, winner gets to be the top. LOL I know how it goes.

I swear I think the best sex I ever had was with someone I absolutely hated, and he hated me too which made it even more interesting. We were both out to cause the other as much pain as possible. It was fucking glorious.

You're a modest prude just like I am lol. YES PLEASE. Preferably when Stoker is mad, like that time in the ca.... oh I cant say that, but seriously he had the best line of the entire series in that scene lol

Stoker just yelled at you for that, I'll send you a transcript later.

Stoker needs to stop before he gets you into trouble. Although I had this conversation with him earlier: "y'know if y'ed' stop yammerin' in yer head and got t'work I could be back in me own story where I belong n'stead of in yer head tellin' y'off. now git!" I got told off by a character that's not even mine.

That's what I was thinking, maybe Micah can help Killian get that stick out of his ass lmao.

friggen finally #teamjack.

It was random and intended at the same time. Our lovely Krista. is brutally honest, so much that she scares me sometimes. So yeah it's kind of a nod to her. She did me the huge favor of reading the first two chapters before I posted them and gave me good feedback so I kept the character as is.

These two I swear. Alec is such a treasure, you know one of those brass bits that's been banged up a bit but still shines when you polish it.

ABSOLUTELY SO DON'T DO IT, SORR.

This story is a short interlude I had to weave between the other stuff I’m working on. It’s only intended to be a short novella and now we are only a few chapters to the end of it. Ive been debating on whether or not to extend it but I believe doing so isn’t needed. I’m hoping that when I’m done I’m able to return to the other stories when this one is finally off my chest because it’s seriously a wrench in the ironworks that’s preventing the other stuff from being updated. Like everybody else I’ve got issues I’ve spent a lifetime trying to work through and while my issues aren’t exactly this, I’ve taken several aspects from my own past in order to imprint the emotional storm I’m still going through as I try to let go of some of it. If the writing feels a little too real that’s why. So I thank everybody that’s humored me this far.

Everybody is holding stuff back at this point totally unwilling to talk about the elephant in the room. They just keep dancing around it for Simon’s benefit. But is it really beneficial?

Next chapter should be interesting then. And even if he does, Elijah I think is too invested at this point to leave. Oof that hits right in the feels. You aren’t the first to think in that direction even though it really hasn’t been said either way.

Thanks for that! Yeah I pretty much ear marked that song for this chapter even before I had it written.

I woke up in a cold sweat, my upper body launching upright as my chest heaved and my lungs gasped for air. My diaphragm pulled so hard it hurt. I was breathing so fast, so deep, it felt like I was choking, if that was even possible. In a way, I was grateful. The sensation kept me from screaming. My whole body shook and convulsed. I couldn’t tell if I was choking or dry heaving. It felt like I’d forgotten how to breathe. No matter how much air I sucked in, it wasn’t enough. The muscles in my

Museums... they are like kyptonite to a little reedy academic boy who has never seen anything like the Smithsonian... Shhhh! Bad Topher!
