Very creative and funny!

Who?!

So many elements in this one. Very nice!

This turned out different from what I expected after the first sentences. A sad, yet loving, story in so few lines. Well done!

I was not thinking much Maybe I was expecting that a safe word would somehow not be acceptable, because it gave control to sub. But I am slowly getting educated here and see where my thought went wrong.

Thanks for explaining guys!

Oh, ok then... I am always interested to learn about things I know nothing about.

Ehm.. I am not sure... I am not a D nor s. But I do have some questions. Am I not supposed to ask in this thread?

Ok, I have a question... In BDSM play there is usually a safe word to stop things getting out of bounds. Within a D/s relationship is there something equivalent?

House Fire touches me. Every time I read it, it changes its meaning. So, I'll just have to keep re-reading it...

That will be very good therapy. The best actually!

Chris is seeing the new pack members as guards, but possibly they are more than that: maybe they are guardians. He may not think he deserves much help, or even a second chance. But the new pack seem to see more in him... more than he does himself... quite possibly they are right. But he will need to work at it. After a period of introspection he needs to let go of his former identity... I am hoping he will surface and impress the new pack (and us ) with the start of his true identity!

A very nice and entertaining story. I'm saddened by the price Brett has to pay for his period of incertitude ... ... it brought Corey and Adrian the love they needed, still, I feel for Brett...

To answer your question: Yes, I think they thought you were there because of your own choices. When I was young, to me almost all things were pretty simple. In my mind, people always had a choice. The exception being if they are imprisoned or otherwise physically restrained. What I did not see then is that there are mental prisons too. Either self-imposed or even worse, imposed by others. These kind of prisons are even stronger restrainers than a cold dark room with bars... they can render you totally defenseless I only learned that when I got a bit more life experience... Unfortunately not everybody learns. edit: The relevance to compassion of this is my opinion that compassion for others outside of your own group is something you learn... I am not convinced it is engrained in people, unless it is for your own group.

This was a very good sequel to The List. I thoroughly enjoyed the plot and character development! Coop being so fortunate with great looks, great friends, great children, great boyfriend and others that will always want him.... but still such a As I am too late for the party, I think everything has been said in the comments. But I don't think everything has been said by the characters... I wish the author would let them relive in a new story... I'll be the first to join that party

A very satisfying short story to my vengeful side... A good buildup with a nice twist at the end! And you deserve a honorary mention for the title

I can relate to so much in this chapter, it is bizarre one more year... though my mantra started earlier..... two more years... and when it was time to run I chose the farthest uni I could find... I chose a major that was only taught there, so nobody could interfere with my plan... and walking with my female friend arms looped as if she was my gf... as if I was normal... that felt so good it brings a smile to my face now... But she was part of the homophobic town too. I hope Ava is better than her...

April 29 is my favorite. It makes me realise that I feel encryption is needed more and more again to guard against many...

I agree this deserves a follow up. The characters have more in them than just this. Although this is already a fine piece in its own right

So nice to see you writing again! I'll be following this story

Oh Blind and Petey, you are not in need of a new couch, are you? I like this story. Gabe's past makes me angry... at his brother, at his parents and at the world! Now it looks like he is finding real happiness. But it is quite a lot to handle. Will the differences and self-doubt get in the way or is this happily ever after? I'm looking forward to the next chapter. One thing I like to add: From a realism point of view I think Derrick is a bit too forthcoming about his wealth and what the family owns. For me it does not seem to fit his character.

Great story telling! Dave judging Jae for actions he had no real control over was harsh and uncaring. I feel for Jae, and the deep sadness he must have felt. For me, that was the pivotal point in the story. Nothing Dave did afterwards managed to totally win me over again. I hope he will treat Terry with more respect.

Ten years wasted... or not. We'll never know. Nice short story, thanks!

Yes

How about Sil?
