Two things I am unsure of is how soon you will end Northern Exposure and start a new story and how many cliffhangers over his main worries you will leave us with. Caroline--Will Caroline arrive in time and will they both come to a mutual agreeable arrangement She is aided by being George's wife and his wealth and naval victories and holdings. Without his support she will be much less powerful. “She has found that many will be quick to work with her, as long as it furthers their own interests as well,” Cavendish noted, remarking on the total lack of morals of most politicians. “Being connected to Lord Castlereagh is not a bad strategy.” “By sleeping with his brother?” Granger asked acidly, getting a smirk from Daventry. “There are different kinds of connections,” Daventry said to Granger. “So it seems,” Granger said with resignation. He would have to learn to deal with his wife, who seemed hell bent and determined to destroy her reputation. George might be wise to spend time with friends and attend social gatherings without Caroline. Family Harmony-George was upset by his father and elder brother seeking in advance a share of what he might be willed from his aunt while cutting out Bertie. If my memory is correct the estate will produce a very handsome income. George will meet with his aunt's lawyer soon to find out what he is going to inherit and what is duties are. If he is stuck at home without command of a ship, he will have time to come to grips with his holdings and learn how to better manage them. If George is the main beneficiary of his aunt's will his brother and sister-in-law might be jealous and look for ways to hurt him. At least for a while, George might be reluctant to seek out his father for advice since his judgment was so poor and against his interests over the will. Will his father apologize? Future government service--Will Granger be told of his new naval assignment in a timely manner and will he be pleased with it? Will other government duties occupy his time? Will his friends or royal sponsors help him? He will want to act in a way to maintain his high reputation and government service with responsible activities could aid him

Hell week is hell week--tough, scary , surprising and brutal and testing. The pledges are controlled and told to act as a team ofrfail, One guy is a dick and wants to get his way and not cooperate. I loved the mutual masturbation shower scene and need to clean fast to not lose hot water. The qualities of the guys will be identified, and I expect poor or inadequate team mates will be fail their pledge week and not be retained. So far nothing supernatural has happened.

With difficulty Agrell found the mystics daughter. She was larger and scarier than first described. Her safe area was damaged in the explosion. Her fathers are coming to meet her. What can they do? The extensive explosions underground might really upset the living arrangements underground, The results might be felt topside --even hunters might act to kill exposed shifts.

What an interesting and unexpected New Year's present, Thank you,Mark Hmmm--still no Lady Granger in sight, Interestingly, Cavendish said she wants to be in charge. She carried out her affair at Hereford, her father's late estate, which she rules in trust for her oldest son. George has no control over Hereford---or seemingly his wife. George is working out his relationships now at home with Daventry and Cavendish. Caroline's relationship with him is up in the air. I love knowing he has given the Beef Stroganov recipe to his prized chef and he did not complain. The special dish will be made soon at a dinner party George is hosting for Admiral Nelson and its fame should spread. His Father and Freddie disappointed and upset him. No mention was made of Caroline. They did not want to make him mad and wanted something from him. They eventually said they wanted George to share his aunt's estate with them 3 ways and cut out Bertie. He would not agree to a deal before the will was read and said he would follow his aunt's wishes. The conversation did not end well. Cavendish later told him it must mean he is the primary beneficiary. Granger will likely feel less disposed to give the royal jewels to his mother after this dispute. He has another reason to see his aunt's lawyer to answer his concerns and find out what the will states. He might see Lord St Vincent tomorrow at the House of Lords or at his dinner party for Lord Nelson and find out his next duties. If Lord St Vincent avoids him, then he may wait to be called to the Admiralty There is a lot on his plate to be resolved.

Is the worst over as Jase exclaimed? Macy is at risk and Lucas is going to get chewed out for fleeing a crime scene. So I bet the worst isn't over as the three moved to meet the police and the head detective. Maybe, more danger really does lay ahead. The attacker at the hospital is still out there. Drug criminals still may want to kill Macy. Do the bad guys have spies inside the police? Jase has said Macy will need him to help her --in the future. He has convinced Lucas he has power and insight. Lucas can be turned on by Jase but unexplainedly not controlled by him. Will the police kick Jase out and away from Macy. Let's see how Jase handles the police and acts to keep Macy safe and healthy. Will Lucas become his real boyfriend?

What unsettling new developments ! The city had hidden deep old ammo storage areas and shifts live underground around them. The explosion that rocked the city came from weapons exploding. People were injured and killed in the cave in. A human seeming like child can grow into a shift and transform into a reptilian like individual. The three girls visited the mystic again to get Ilya needed care. They found out the mystics have a shift reptilian daughter living in the underground area and say they are worried for her safety. Agrell volunteers to find her and she if she is unhurt from the blast. Dozi is concerned since Agrell is new to the area and not skilled at living and moving among others. As a Messiah who benefitted from eating a shift, then she will be hated by them if they learn her secret. Dozi is still not willing to trust the mystics. The die is cast. Agrell will seek out the shift child. She will be in danger. Are the mystic parents telling the girls the whole story or are they lying? Is there another reason --not yet revealed-as to why they want their child checked out? Will Dozi have to rescue Agrell ? Will more explosions threaten people?

The three have moved to Dozi's hidden small abode. They will need to learn to blend in as a group. Each could be a target if they standout. Good guys and bad guys live near each other. I am betting the explosion is related to the hunters looking for shifts. Could their stop at the mystic's shop have given them away? Is the mystic hurt? For now, Dozi and her friends seem to be hidden but they are not yet aware of an active hunting party in the area.

I suggest Travis will be at a disadvantage without Will's advice if his father tries to deny him control of his trust over a claim he has a morals problem by being gay and thereby violate the terms of his trust. Travis knows this is a possibility. Travis should not be passive and needs to think proactively and be prepared to stop his father. Will is a fighter and could help Travis to get ready with a serious plan to win. Curtis Buck wants to control him. He could simply assert Travis is gay or come up with evidence from a PI following him with pics taken or from his car being bugged and his room being covered by cameras and listening devices. His dad could get vicious and increase his efforts to get evidence If his father tells Travis he is going to stop him over a morals issue, Travis could threaten his father with a state or federal lawsuit to set a precedent and void the morals clause. In preparation for the potential battle, Will could ask Stef for advice for Travis. Stef might suggest a law firm to aid Travis in suing his father over a number of issues such as his civil rights being violated, The law suit , no matter the final decision, would be a public relations disaster for Curtis Buck and could be followed actively in the media. Travis could warn his father he is ready to sue with legal counsel he has consulted already, if he tries to stop him from gaining control of his trust

7 years have passed and Lucas is now seeking his 40th case to help. He arrives in Naples and is held back from helping Macy. He improvises and seeks her out when he hears screams. Wild fights ensue---Lucas and Jase are attacked by mysterious people. They may be trying to get/kill Macy who they might think she saw them kill her parents. Jase has her and is fleeing out of the hospital. Lucas drives up surprisingly and takes them away from the hospital and danger.

The ladies found a healer for the badly injured Ilya. They seem safe for now and Ilya is on the road to recovery. Meanwhile a pack of hunters has found and killed a shift. They are merciless and bloodthirsty and methodical. If they get a sense of Ilya being near them, they will go after her for her head. I hope the three stay undiscovered

Yes, there are other possibilities 1.Zach could have told Travis if he left with Will, they would be finished. No Sex. Zach could say I am here all the time, Will has to fly in and is not dependable or ready when you need him. 2, Dairus noticed that Travis has had or is having sex with his sister's two boyfriends. Is there a need for Travis to feel he is beating his sister in sex? Is Travis , in part, drawn to Zach because he is fucking his sister? 3. Travis may want peace at home and to not rock the boat at least until his birthday. He is intending to make it through to his birthday in April without a fuss or trouble when he is given control of his trusts. He is concerned that his dad might stop him by claiming (he still needs evidence) that he is gay. I can imagine the sex Travis has with Zach over the weekend was OK but not as mind bending amazing as the sex he had with Will. Travis will realize what he is missing. If Zach get aggressive and too pushy, he will turn off Travis. I think it is up to Travis to call Will and have a solid conversation. They need to be honest with each other.

What delightful events--Halloween, Thanksgiving. The boys returning to Italy will have great memories. The whole group seems to enjoy and treasure the times the get together. Armand is missing Colin who is now in Europe checking on the new fishing business. It is encouraging the Armand met the girl in his painting. Good food is helping them smile. The new crepe maker will soon be put to wonderful use. I am wanting to try the new multi-colored Italian soda made at the club for the kids--mmmmm.

Has he truly found a sanctuary from his pain and bad luck? He has suffered so much. We will find out an answer in the next chapter Why has Winter Haven been made known to him?

Bigotry from the PTA against gays has consequences. Colin and Armand and their extended family stand up for each other and separate from intolerance. I hope at some point Colin and Armand will get the upper hand and changes will be made in support of tolerance,

The three meet surprisingly at the mouth of the cave that is the home of Dozi. Ilya is naked and wounded. Hunters have shot her while she was flying and want her mantis gland. I bet they can help Ilya with her wounds and educate her on adapting to this life safely. Ilya is very lucky.

Jase meets Lucas and Lucas is warry and worried. Lucas wants to see Macy( how did he know her name?) and Lucas prevents him The lady cop is fully agreeable with what Jase wants to do. Lucas cannot understand her attitude and support of Jase's wishes. Jase is a stranger and odd thin young man out of place in this scene. How will Jase connect with Macy?

Rusty's daddy issues are serious and could mess up his relationships with others--especially girls. Now Matty is flipping the paradigm and turning Rusty into liking a guy. His fantasy ( not Matty's) was fulfilled in the locker room after the game. Matty took the initiative. Matty gave him an intense soul touching blow job and swallowed all his cum and rocked him and puzzled him. Matty is his disrupter and is meaning lots more to him than he can admit at this point What will Rusty do next? Happy New Year and Thanks for an early chapter.

What a violent mess--A shift is killed brutally by a Messiah after a bloody fight at the festival. Pandamonium reigned. Dozi luckily had just taken Agrell under her wing since she seemed like a lost puppy and needed a knowledgeable friend. They fled as the violence continued. After Agrell forcefully throws a creepy a dunk far away into a wall, Dozi understands she is a mantis enhanced Messiah from a cult. Agrell's crying and vocal , hurtful statements of soulful remorse over the unexpected killing of her cousin who was a shift , surprises Dozi and she comforts Agrell. They are on a path of mutual support and friendship, I bet. They can help each other if they find they are compatible,

Will commented to Patrick...."With Travis, I was so into him, I let down my guard. I was all in. It’s not just the past, it’s the way we are together. So the end result of this is that I’m shattered. My heart has been ground into pieces. And the worst part of it is that I don’t know what I did wrong, or what’s wrong with me.” OK--Will is halfway through his Gap Year and has a painful conundrum and is worried. At least he recognizes Zach is now history. I believe Will can be much better off if he finds out what caused Travis to reject him so he can move on without him or maybe at some point over the next few months with Travis. I expect Travis will have to tell him. Plus, could Zach's sexual actions and potential abuse cause Travis to reject him and realize he made a poor choice?

Will and Darius have found out that JJ and Zanie are not always on the same page. She is not openly rocking the boat, though. Will figured out how to influence JJ and get him to not follow Zani's wishes to go to a store opening and go to see Carullo in CT. Zanie is steaming. I hope Will and Darius will have more opportunities to drive them apart.

Agrell meets shifts and they are not what she imagined. Heck, the multitude and wige variety of townsfolk surprised her. Her small community was so uniform in look. Now Agrell's world is turned upside down. She is very interested and not afraid. Agrell does not yet know the big city has the three main elements--Messiahs, Shifts and Mystics. Next time , it seems Agrell's path will connect with at least one of the other two main characters. How will they get along?

What finely drawn characters and maybe some stereotypes. You can feel you are at a bloody murder scene. It took some time to realize the story arc had advanced to a new set of people and Jase was not going to show up. His ability to heal will be needed, though. You like Lucas because he cares about kids and had an unusual, effective way of reach the silent kid, Macy, covered in blood. Macy is surprising Lucas. She is a mystery and too aware and too small. Lucas , I bet, is going to learn much more about her and will really try to help her recover.

Will cannot figure out Travis , but he waivers and doesn't want to give him up or does he? Is he going to find out why Travis chose Zach or forget it? We learned from Darius that the Buck family is fucked up more than Will knew. Give it to Will to be a hot sex symbol at a high end party and then leave to have awesome sex with Patrick before his lover appears. Will has not lost his touch and welcomed Patrick's lover to join them in bed for a threesome. What a life! Mark--You gave us a terrific surprise Christmas present and nightcap. Thank you.

Normality was fast approaching. Even with the boys from the Village here, I learned that the extra children wasn’t a problem. I thank our boys for that. One surprise, Nonna held cooking classes for the boys and their friends. What a wonderful review and understanding at the holiday time. Life is good.

Illya needs a new perspective, and a least one good friend, I think. She has only experience pain and rejection and the death of others, Now she want to die by the action of a predator to take her pain away. She is wandering aimlessly. Nothing is certain. She is depending on chance to help your look up and want to survive. I hope she finds a new outlook.
