  1. Friday, April 6th "Daddy, Jimmy's over there!" Nina pointed with the hand her father wasn't holding. He rolled his eyes, and Audrey laughed with him. "Don't beat him up too badly, okay marshmallow?" Diego sighed, and Nina took off to challenge big bad Jimmy Vause to a street fight in her father's name. "Careful Jimmy, my girl's going to thump you into the ground!" She was beginning to understand that wrestling was a show and not real life - which was good because Daddy tended to set a ho
  2. "Ryan's moral impulse was sound. He observed the world and asserted, simply, 'we can do better.' But Utopia cannot precede the Utopian. It will exist the moment we are fit to occupy it. Not a place, but a people." - a line from Bioshock 2. It always stuck with me and quite literally inspired me to be a better person.

    Holy heck! The only favour the grandparents are doing Arthur is approaching the other end of their lifetimes. Great opening chapter! I'm keen to read more! ❤️

    Judas

    Jacoby had been woken up by a bell for three years, four months and eleven days, but it never seemed to get any easier. They were harsh and loud and horrible and always ruined whatever sweet dream he was having. He felt Harry squirm next to him, and his heart fluttered with joy, then drooped with sadness when he remembered what today was. It was too soon. Two weeks too early. "Morning," Harry slurred through a thick, raspy voice profoundly affected by sleep and snuggled up closer to his para

    Chapter 22

    I'm happy Tanner is so keen to come out and stuff, but I'm so wary about it. He's seen first hand the way they treat Jackie like some second class citizen at best, and with Derrick, that's just like "shame^2" and... I'm a little worried for him! He's lovely but oh my he's so naive! There is nothing to stop his parents from separating them permanently!

    Chapter 21

    YOU GO EVEN MORE MAMA! I'm almost worried now! If Tanner and Derrick ever break up, is she going to kick Derrick out and just keep Tanner?? haha

    You go Mum! Don't you take their garbage!

    Chapter 8

    I can't believe how invested and livid that made me when that horrible woman tried to separate my boys! Argh, perfect chapter, beautifully written! Sad to hear that the journey's coming to an end, though!
  9. Tilda Swinton was SUCH a queen in those, OH MY GOSH I adored her.
  10. There was a really sweet Loras Tyrell and Renly Baratheon one I read on AOOO, about twenty-something chapters long. I really enjoyed it! I just hope that next year, the series ends with Cersei of the House Lannister, the First of Her Name, Queen of the Andals and the First Men, Protector of the Seven Kingdoms standing atop the body heap. Long may she reign!
  11. Thanks for reading and thanks for the feedback! ❤️ I'm not sure if I ever planned to assign exact music to the wrestlers, but who knows? Would you like that? At the moment I think it's been established that Lance's music is catchy and repetitive with no lyrics and Diego's is slow, somber and heavy on bass.
  12. Good Friday, March 27th 2016 - Lance The smell of simnel cake baking always made Lance's tummy rumble and his mouth water. He'd know that aroma anywhere. Each Good Friday since before he was born, Sue had baked her grandmother's simnel cake for dessert. He looked forward to it every year and quivered with anticipation as he waited for someone to unlock the door and let him in. "There he is! What the bloody hell took you so long then?" Sue hooked her arms around him and near dragged him a
  13. I like prologues well enough! I just get super mad when it's about a character who ends up dying in said prologue. I kind of feel cheated, putting my energy into this character just to have them die.

    Easter (A)

    Sean won't be forgotten, I'm sure! Rachel's one of three people I gave small flashbacks to - the others are in Part B. I'm so glad you're enjoying the story! I'm one of the people who watches wrestling several times a week! ❤️ Terrific! I'm glad! ❤️ I hope it's not too disappointing! haha Thank you.
  15. Good Friday, March 30th "I'm telling you, it's criminal, having us work on Good Friday," Rachel sighed, sitting patiently in the chair while Jeanette tugged and pulled at her hair, running a straightening iron through it. She was making her triumphant return back into relevance tonight, at the first quarter pay per view. She wanted to look her best. Everyone wanted to look their best for this show, even Diego, who was letting Gloria herself tease and spruce up his mop of short dark-brown cur
  16. Oh my gosh this chapter made my cry - that strip poker miscommunication had me in fits XD
  17. I know that from Robbie's POV Nicola is a total mole of a person, but that's just his POV. I really like her character. She's so fed up by now of Robbie getting away with murder, but that doesn't mean she's a bad person. ❤️ Let's not just put the umbrella of "bitch" over everything she's doing just because Robbie's not used to having to contend with siblings and all that jazz. So well written, again.
  18. I might be in the minority for this, but I REALLY like how freakin' irritating Robbie's being right now. I love that he's confused, that he's flawed and he makes bad decisions. I mean yeah, I've done an eye roll or seven, but it makes him so damn compelling ❤️ masterfully written, really. I'm so addicted.
  19. I wasn't sure if I was going to be totally into the hetero stuff, but I'm so enamoured with Fran, she's the biggest sweetheart. It's insane, I read a chapter or two each night but I've marathoned nearly twenty today. Haha Honestly, loving it all, even the straight stuff! It's rather gorgeous that Robbie's having a journey exploring his sexuality. I'm sure the next seventy(??) chapters will be just as terrific, but I hope I manage to tear myself away at some point before I finish.
  20. My favourite chapter yet! Delving deeper into Tom's character was just gorgeous - particularly when he insisted that they'll live together in a fear years when Robbie returns. Nyaaww. ❤️

    Chapter 7

    This is going to sound super weird, but when Connor was finally able to get his rocks off with the cute guy, I somehow felt less tense. Haha I like how well this is going - especially the revelation that Joel prefers being at Connor's tiny abode because it "feels like a home." That was sweet. ❤️ Thank you for the update! I'm always keen to know how my boys are doing!

    Chapter 1

    Nyaaawwwwhhh!! You warned me I'd get cavities from how sweet this is and I totally did, but it was worth it Kissing buddies! That wasn't exactly the ending I was expecting, but it was the ending I needed! Definitely bookmarking this for another time! ❤️

    Hurricane Lamps

    I liked it! Already so attached to the boys. A few poignant moments for poor Elijah - his grim view of the world My favourite line was about the "pukish shade of yellow" - oh wow, I did some chuckling at that one. Thanks! Looking forward to getting into the next chapter!
  24. Oh my gosh Joe, you poor little bugger. He is the perfect patsy. Sucked in so badly by this... misbehaving child. I am soooo keen for the finale! Thank you for this chapter! It's been a heck of a ride! I wasn't ready for that morbid ending, but it was beautifully written.
  25. Hard copies the first time, then listened to the audio. 😛 If I'm not working, writing or actively socialising, I'm almost guaranteed to be listening to some book or podcast. It's far less impressive than it sounds 😔 #JustMillennialThings
