That’s true

Hmm, this definitely qualifies as a cliffhanger, which earns you a mean stare But other than that, it's great, of course. But seriously, you'd better not be spending too much time reading this, you've got typing to do!

Just stay up, you’re here now

@MrM and @BlindAmbition - I find that the Activity Stream (Activity -> My Activity Streams -> Newest Comments On My Stories/Chapters) is a useful way of tracking comments on your own work. And actually, I’ve started getting notifications about comments too, though that may still be ‘in progress’ I’m not sure.

Hello, I’m not sure anyone else is here, but you’re welcome to hang around and see who turns up

Thanks - happy to know you're still enjoying these guys.

Thanks - yes, it’s different to the previous chapters for sure, so great to know I’m still doing OK with it And I’ll let you know if I win a big jackpot. Just imagine all the time I might then have to write!

As usual, thanks for another great update. And as usual (for this story at least), by ‘great’ I mean emotionally draining and simultaneously compulsive reading.

Yes, we’re definitely in to new territory here

Erm... I don't know? But hey, you're here now

Needy much? ha ha ha

Well it wasn't instantaneous, but relatively speaking, I guess it was close! And I don't know about Britney, but Cher is around so...

The rest of Sunday passed in a haze of new-normality, with Jake hanging out with me for most of the day. There were, of course, quite a few texts and messages from people at college, containing about a 70/30 split of ‘thanks for a great party’ type messages and ‘it was cool meeting Jake, congratulations guys’ types. Although the latter were almost exclusively from girls. Everything was kind of slow, but relaxed and comfortable. For the first time I think for as long as I can remember, I was

Awesome, I'm so happy that things are heading in the right direction, even though it's inevitable not going to go super-smoothly.

Cool I was beginning to get edgy for the next chapter, and now I’m fully satisfied. Thanks for a great story.

Oh wow, just in case I was feeling that things might settle down here...

But notice how the light reflects off of my perfectly smooth and shiny skin, highlighting my box-ish beauty. And my hard, equally perfectly smooth body... But effeminate!? I've always imagined it as 'slightly evil'.

I usually stop reading when I feel that my expectations are being tested too much, or just not met. For example, when a story starts out with a relatively realistic set-up and characters, but then relies on unrealistic elements to progress it. I'm thinking of all of those terrible car accidents, parental deaths, and miscellaneous hospital admissions, not to mention the lottery winning, empire building, and secret benefactor moments. If it's a fantasy (or even Fantasy), that's fine, but please be honest about that up front. Similarly, when random relatives, friends, and colleagues start 'coming out' as gay and you end up with what must the gay-est school/office/business/family/whatever ever. Now, I'm off to make coffee, and passing as I do, a mirror or other reflective surface into which I can stare, I'll also describe myself in tedious detail.....

Wow, you make these guys unbearably addictive. Obviously, because I'm like that, I really want Trick and Cody to work things out eventually, but until then, thanks for (another) great story

Awesome company AND tea and muffin? Hell yeah

Get out of my way, I want to be near the front too!

It’s all good, and no hate... well... maybe just a tiny bit of frustration

Thank you I’m happy that you’re enjoying it so far.

I would, but I just don’t think you’re his type. Besides, if I had a Jake lying around, why the hell would I send him anywhere right now?

As always, thoroughly enjoyable
