For some reason I feel the "esteemed" Colonel has a boyfriend. It is often the ones that loudly denounce a certain population who tend to practice against what they preach.

😳😶 A very gripping introduction.

"Before we knew it two turned into three and three into four. I don’t know what’s happening between us, but we just can’t keep our hands off of one another. I never expected our sex drives to be this high at thirty one, I mean we’re having more sex than we did in high school! But I guess when the love is there, the passion follows." “I love you. I can’t wait to see you when my time comes." This line gave me a chill when I read it, tho I know Ryder was in a healthy headspace when he said it. I like the idea of them living back at the cemetery house. Life is about choices and it was a beautiful thing Ryder chose to remember the good times that happened in the house instead of/as well as the bad. Any one place will be a location of the happiest times in one person's life and the worst time in someone else's. Ryder had both there and by claiming the happier times, he can diminish the power of the bad & with like attracting like, create more good memories. (Tho I'm all for having the place blessed before they move in 😊) I didn't read the previous story so I don't know the character of the Messiah band members besides the glimpse of Brandon here. I just really don't trust them and feel like they would maliciously push Ryder off the wagon or worse, get Oli started.

I thought the disease angle as well initially, thinking he was cleared during his hospital stay, I forgot he hasn't been back long, so much has happened.

That's what I thought when I read the letter, too. They should find out how Rudolph knows all that he does about them, tho.

🎤Teddy fu<*ed Ryyyyydddeeerrrr🎤 🎤Teddy fu<*ed Ryyyyydddeeerrrr 🎤 I thought Mrs. Haner was too hard on Ryder regarding Oliver's antics in school, she knows how her son is and she was embarrassed by getting a call from Mr. Fuller? Does she really care what other people think? To me it doesn't seem she and Harry are on the same wavelength regarding Oliver and school. The band mates in Messiah disgusted me with their attitude toward Ryder's sobriety. Do they care about him at all?!?! WTF?!?? Thank God Ryder had the strength to resist temptation; At least now he knows they can't be depended upon to keep him on the straight and narrow. I'm wondering if it's even worth him dealing with them at all. Oh and if Teddy and Ryder are monogamous, why the rubbers? Pregnancy prevention? 😉😊 Just wondering....

Happy Birthday!! 🎉🎂

"It did amaze him, the fierceness of it, the intensity of it, how it settled down deep inside of him, grafted itself into his bones and body and mind and heart, how it made him feel euphoric and serene at the same time, the mix of passion and tenderness, the need to protect and plunder. It was confusing, chaotic, sweet and comforting and he knew that whatever he had felt for John…or thought he had felt for John…it wasn’t like this. Never like this. And now that he had it, felt it, tasted it, he never wanted to let it go." *Sigh* Your writing is perfection. Thank you.

“And I did fall in love with you. I fell so hard it scared me. And I keep on falling every day, and I hope it never ever stops.” ❤️ Merry Christmas, Mikeal. 😍

Hyacinth is a bitch. 😡

"Mike, honey, just go with it, okay? You can't spend the rest of your life worrying about what society thinks, or that you might get your heart broken. It might end badly, or it might not. But if you spend the rest of your life worrying about things that you can't predict, you're never going to be happy." Words to live by on everything, Julie rocks, too. 😄 While "Baby" can be a generic word of affection, I've never personally thought so and I feel such intimacy when I read Adam calling Mikael that. It's like he tells him "I lub you" when he says it. Adam's an awesome boyfriend.

Adam rocks. While life is full of shades of gray, the important things are simply black and white. I'm sure Adam will show some faults later on but they don't change that he so rocks now. 😄

Sometimes it takes a while to tell it like it is. 👏 Ever notice when what you're reading is right it doesn't seem so long? 😉

It's unfortunate Ryder did what he did regarding Mrs. Flores but I sadly feel this is not isolated-there are many people in education who choose not to change with the times and wind up stifling and destroying free spirits because they have tenure. There is more than one way to reach a child to bring out the best in them, ruthless cookie cutter methods don't serve the community, locally and at large.

This chapter deserves a double love!! ❤️❤️ I liked it very much when Ryder took on Mrs. Flores and defended Oliver, I LOVED it when Harry said: “Ryder, it takes a village to raise a kid.” He explained. “And as much as me and Jill want to raise him, and as much as I wish I knew the words to get him to behave, well you saw what he was like before you got here.” He exhaled. “Sure, you’re not perfect, but you’re doing a better job than I did, and I just, the best way for me to be a good dad right now is to hand him over for a while and support you both the best I can.” The hardest and strongest thing a parent can do is admit that someone else can handle their child better than they can, everyone benefits, especially the child. I think that was the most loving, profound thing Harry ever said about/to Oliver. Ryder's influence on Oli cannot be denied and it is positive. This benefits Ryder, too; Not only getting such a ringing endorsement from a man he looks at as a second father but the responsibility of shaping but not breaking someone like Oliver, someone like himself; It's almost like he gets a do over. 😍

"Butter". F^^^^^^^^^^ck. Smokin' hot scene.🌡

👏 Continuing Mark's clapping. Loved the "f^<k you" speech. 😄

I'm reading the comments that put Drake in the bad corner and I get it, to a point. I don't view him as an unsympathetic character, I view him as someone who's finally facing the elephant that's been in his living room for two years. This would have been a tough situation for anyone to deal with; Due to his upbringing, Drake lacks the coping skills to deal with this at all, let alone with support. I think he would've been oblivious and insensitive to anyone with him at this point, that it's Jimmy makes it intolerable for us because we see clearly what Drake can't-they should be together. It's easy to take such unconditional support for granted and unfortunately, he does. Drake is being a shithead, no doubt. Remember tho, Jimmy wants this conversation between him and Drake and he want the confrontation between Drake and Richard- 1/ His convo with Drake has been shut down every time it came up since their break up. 2/ Drake's break up with Richard was the most traumatic thing to ever happen to him, it altered the way he viewed and handled future relationships. If Drake can get a positive resolution to that via a conversation with Richard, Jimmy wants that for Drake. Neither of these conversations were going to be pleasant, to intermingle them, (as what happened at the bench) was nitro meeting glycerin. The waters always get murky when you drudge the gunk up from the bottom. It has to get messy tho in order to resettle, hopefully for the better.

Wow. Sad. Love.

Nice tease, I thought Ruby was going to be his first kiss but it was Kevin. Leave it to his conflicted, bullying ass to spin it that Button kissed him. I LOVE that Button is considered one of the hotties in school. This story truly clutches my heart.

This story!! My heart!! This is beautiful, so beautiful.

Ohhhhhhhh!!!!!!! Damnit!!! LOL!! Sooooo close!! You tease!!😂 Just when it doesn't seem J.D. can be more perfect, here he is trying to get Drake to understand that Richard probably was in love with him, in spite of the choice he made in reuniting with Bernadette. Drake won't see it because he's in it (and truthfully without knowing how the breakup went he may have just other reason to be mad). It doesn't serve Jimmy Dean to do this, it actually goes against him but J.D.'s whole purpose is to see Drake through this, good bad and ugly. He truly loves him as well as being in love with him. Deeply emotional chapter, Gary. I feel like I need to read it again a couple times 'cause there was so much going on. Well done. Cheers, my platonic friend. 🍺

He's in love❣❣ He's in love❣❣ And I don't mean Jake!! "Klaus wanted to know it. To learn everything the young man had ever experienced, everything he had lived. And Klaus wanted to be part of everything Jake’s life was going to be from this point forward." **SWOON** That line was almost hotter than the sex to me and the sex was pretty hot. 🌡 I have a feeling Klaus will not be able to keep his promise to Jake about Diaz. The only way to stop Diaz is to put him away or in the morgue. I am thrilled about Klaus and Jake's future but my alarm bells are clanging regarding hermano mayor. 😳

Funny thing happened when I was reading this story....my allergies kicked up real bad, had tears in my eyes....yeah, that's what it was, allergies.

Cody has no shyness at all!! 😄 Funny thing was every time someone cursed, I was expecting a little boy to pull on a pants leg and say "Qata"!! I get Blu's "money can't buy happiness" philosophy but I think he's a bit short sighted in not appreciating deep pockets. That $$ was earned by Kyle and Kaleb and I think "it's better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it". All I can do is shake my head at the actions of the "righteous". It's always been my observation that those who take it upon themselves to mandate what is "right" and "wrong" tend to be the biggest, hypocritical wrongdoers themselves. They truly "doth protest too much". Another lovely glimpse into the Waters family loving chaos.
