👍 I will cease and desist with my COTT digs from now on, O wise writer.

You did leave them in a good place, with the house and the baby and everything else; It almost seemed too good to be true. Maybe an epilogue to wrap it up? It can revisit them quite some ways down the road.

This comment, plus my dig at the incomplete status of COTT in this same review thread is prompting me to reread it. It’s a sign, lol. Luckily there are 10 billion chapters so by the time I get to the last one, maybe Gary will finish it, (Tee Hee) *That’s my Casper the Friendly Ghost laugh*

Oh yeah and I forgot about that dream world thing they were in together in the last story. You’re right, Desmond and Raven are close. Desmond does hate Julian though and that was mutual....the only reason Desmond lives after Julian found out his hit was a bust was because he saved Julian’s life. (Remember when Raven was kidnapped and given that dirty water drug that was supposed to addict him but didn’t because one of his skills is a resistance to stuff like that?)

Would they help him, though? I’ve come to realize that Raven redeems Julian. Julian was a loathsome piece of shit who repeated raped Sam and other children (among his other crimes) and wanted Desmond killed (even though his reason was noble-Desmond killing the woman he loved but I digress). It wasn’t until Raven and Julian formed a connection that I gave a damn about Julian because Raven is pretty cool....if Raven sees something in Julian (besides the blood thing and the fact that their first sex was a rape as well) then it makes Julian a sliver of a chance redeemable (faith only needs to be the size of a mustard seed, right?) That was my long road way of saying that while I and other readers (I would think) might want Julian back (for Raven or whatever other reason), I don’t think it’s enough to sway either Gabriel or Desmond....or is it?

❤️ So beautifully said.

Did a “photo shoot” once, post hoe phase. (That man knew I was in love with his ass.) That ain’t happening anymore; Now if I do you, you do me too or you do me and I owe you one. Got a few “stick” pics out of that, lol.

Hot damn....

We all need a specialty.

😊

Lol!! I kept my hoeing on the low. I wouldn’t have sent a sext or recorded anything....then. 😬

Actually, lol, I added it later, he may have missed it. Though he is quick on responding to comments sometimes, Girl don’t get a chance to edit, lol.

You are.❤️ We all are. Granted, some are more saintly than others...

And Hank’s. Let’s put Rex’s in there too. 😊 Unless he was fixed, I know he smelt that bitch in heat around his daddy.

Yes you are 👼 “A saint is just a sinner who fell down and got up”. Another one of my favorite quotes.

However much or little, practice didn’t make perfect.

My free phase was short lived because it basically is not who I am either but it now allows me to understand the perspective a little more. I also think it’s good to try out a couple car models before you ride the one long term. One of the things I understood is that there were as many different reasons for doing it, as stars in the sky.

I believe everyone, regardless of orientation should have a “free phase”.

Hank was blinded by his own issues, he was ripe for “a friend to lean on”.

I’d say your observation is fact enough in that you’ve witnessed it happen to others. Gay or straight, that’s a sad mental state. I can understand why there might be more bitterness in the gay community, besides being viewed as a minority, there is a constant battle between conforming via the closet (which I can only imagine is suffocatingly tight) or sometimes literally risking your life to life out loud. That would incite some bitter Bettys.

If you’re going to play, you should always try to play well. 😉 Ask Kevin....then again, maybe not. I know you’ll get to it when you get to it.

I know your previous comment broke down why he went after Hank but do you think Kevin slutted it up after his breakup or was he waiting only for a crack at Hank? (Or for Hank to use his crack?)

It’s a good thing Headstall put all of Kevin’s “Cards on the Table”. It took a while, though. It seems that always takes a while to do. A few chapters....a few years....same thing, right? 😉

That quote is kind of like what I often tell my son: “The answer to every unasked question is a no”.

“Pour vivre heureux, vivons cachés” which basically means “a secret life is a happy life.” It’s the first I’ve ever heard of it but I love this saying.
