"Sorry I'm so quiet again, Jason. I've never been good at starting up the dialogue between us, even when you were still here. Heh. Like when we fought... which was a lot... I'd be having a good old sulk about it, but you'd be the one who always made sure I was okay before you went and had yours. You were hard to keep up with! I remember one time a few years ago when you smacked me in the face and when I cried... because I always cried... you made sure you didn't hurt me, and that I was alright,

On their nineteenth birthday, Declan returns to Jason's resting place for the first time in a whole year and speaks from the heart. (Monologue)

There's a lot of empathy and patience in Masha that comes from an understanding of how unwell a teenager must be to end up in a place like the AIU (Vlad's done it many times) and that she does tend to see and treat Tyson as one of her own. Yes this is all 150% accurate! ❤️ Beautifully said! Haha I won't lie that it's a relief to hear that, but on the flip side, whether it was criticism or simply sharing, you did give me more to think about, and I'm happy about it! Still, I will keep that in mind! I'm really glad to hear you have your childrens' backs! ❤️ Hahaha of course dear ❤️ and your two cents mean more to me than a ten dollar bill I found in the park! Thank you all for the comments! I'm thrilled if you're all talking! Have terrific days!

It's a lot easier to like Vlad, who doesn't have a bitter bone in his body. And you're right, Tyson's actions were indefensible. So it's probably something I should float as a reminder in chapter, but Cynthia is treating Vladimir free of charge and coordinating his aftercare until he is discharged from the hospital. Masha's restraint comes from understanding from born of her own family of misfits and a deep sense of appreciation for what Tyson did for Vladimir in the first place - convincing Cynthia to take him as a patient - but perhaps it does read inorganically. I didn't even think of it that way. 😖 That's an excellent point! When I go through and edit the story before I stamp it with "complete" I'll definitely take a second look at this one. Thanks very much! ❤️ Have a delightful day!

Awwww ❤️ yes I'm not a stranger to them either. I don't believe it's all that uncommon! Masha is indeed a wonderful woman! Thanks for the comment! A tendency to funnel those negative emotions into anger (something far easier to deal with) has always been an unfortunate part of Tyson since the very beginning. Buuut he's a smart cookie! A light bulb could be just what he needs. Thank you for your everlasting support! ❤️ Maybe a little something like that! 😮 Thanks! You're right on the money on everything there! He needs something solid to look forward to - and he might have just come up with something. Vladimir did not deserve what he got. No way. Tyson gonna have to grovel! I'm glad you enjoyed it! More next Friday! Mwah!

"Heeey, Tys!" It was Vladimir that he'd been expecting. Not Dmitry! It was difficult to discern which Tchaikovsky boy was which by way of their face because they looked impossibly similar, so Tyson judged based on height. Dmitry was over six feet tall, but not quite as tall as Vasily, who trailed in afterwards with the whole pack! Masha, Vladimir, Ilya and Sasha all trickled through the door that separated the majority of the ward from the visiting and interview areas. Aside from the silver

Yes I loved the way he went out! I also love that the Clegane war ended the way it began - with fire!

Same as the Long Night: it was visually stunning, and the action scenes were terrific and the soundtrack was omfg. ❤️ But the writing is so abysmally bad! The pacing is off, the decisions and motivations are either ridiculous or pointless, the conclusions of every character arc were unsatisfying at best with all that character development thrown out of the window. Jaime's character arc in particular was shocking! I can't believe they let it end that way. The plot armour is a big one that irritates me, and established lore is continually forgotten or just pushed to the side. The showrunners choose to subvert expectations for no reason and it's turned the final two seasons into a hot mess imo. They needed a lot more than thirteen episodes to wrap the series up. It's rushed and it feels bad.

I went into today's episode with low expectations and I was still disappointed. Eesh.

Pale skin, complimented with a sun-kissed tan. Nice ass curves, a smooth young twink strapped down to the bed in a jock strap and nothing else. His brown hair wild and jagged, falling rebelliously around his neck as he tested the strength of the bonds securing him to the mattress. He was arrogant. He was sure he could take whatever Seth threw at him. But Seth wasn't interested in hearing his words. Only the primal noises elicited from him. So the man in charge locked a gag into the young man's m

That excerpt from the book of venoms though... oooOOOooo I love that Sawyer is short sighted enough to mention that the god is a turtle. Like dude, you just massacred this guy's home with your jungle, maybe you'd wanna try to avoid offending him. 😆 The Mataki tribe seems to be all but doomed, though! Kotho's an idiot, for all his hypermasc bluster.

Ahhh! This chapter was so intoxicating I just had to read it again! ❤️ Challenging Castor's love for the two men in his life in such a cruel, inventive way is just so beautiful, and who can blame Castor for wanting to stay in a world where everything is so perfect? No heartbreak. No fighting. ❤️ Terrific chapter frond!

I tried to directly reflect that in Charlie's sweet nature. Thanks! Aww thank you so much! I have the destination and the road there all sorted, but I'm not sure how many stops there'll be! Next chapter might make the destination clearer - this one served to both reassure Tyson that bad experiences don't necessarily make him bad, and to remind him that he genuinely enjoys helping people. Those are some great questions! Let's find out together! (SO lovely!!) Thanks! Oh phew. Even after a snooze I feel like I could have done much better. Yesss Tyson notices there's more to Charlie than meets the eye, and that makes him feel much better about his own situation, since they're not all that different - just handling trauma in their own ways. One is childish, the other angry. Right? Couldn't keep her away before. Tsk. Thank you! ❤️ Thank you love! ❤️

It wasn't the first time Tyson entertained himself by studying the behaviour of the other inpatients. They were pretty interesting in their own ways. Especially Charlie. He liked to hoard treats for nearly a week and then go nuts and eat so much he made himself feel sick - except for the cookies. Although the packets of miniature cookies were limited to one per patient per day, Charlie seemed to have several packs of biscuits. Tyson noticed this early into his stay, but he was tired and preoccup

The truth about Alexey's death is fairly up in the air, since multiple accounts have made their way to Tyson's ears. He was murdered; it was an accident; it was suicide. Vlad tends to conflate all three outcomes at once, depending on his state of mind and hallucinations - but he always blames himself and the monster is always involved. Tyson does have phone privileges, but nobody to call. 😜 Perhaps he could make contact with the media, but he's just a spoiled, ungrateful brat* and his parents are powerful, influential people.* He might not even have come to that as a possibility - his first and only recognised path to freedom was to kill himself, but we're working on that! Thanks for the comment! Big appreciation ❤️

Yes ~ main problem being that Tyson's parents are wealthy, influential people in high public standing and the type of abuse he undergoes is easily brushed off as overparenting. Plus, there is some artistic license at play so I beg you to suspend a little bit of disbelief! I'm terrifically glad you're enjoying the story! I'm doing my best to update weekly and I'm very sorry to hear of your struggles. ❤️ I hope it all worked out.

He's working on it! He does mean it at this point in time. Thank you very much! ❤️

Ya mental illness can strike even those with a good, healthy, loving family. ❤️ Tyson's still in the transition, but he's edging closer to the light! Still a long journey. :3 Thank you super duper muchly ❤️

"Tell me a story," Brianna, the most white bread woman in the world, was actually quite engaging when they were in the middle of therapy. "The main character is Tyson Belmont-Levitt, and the theme is the day of his discharge. How would you write this story?" "You talk a lot of shit," Tyson scowled at her, fingering his purple-brown scars. "Why would I tell a story we both know the ending to?" "Indulge me," Brianna could be so pushy. "On my day of discharge, my Mum takes me home and p

Thank you so much! Haha no no - I do have a little experience in similar settings, but I am not schizophrenic. I'm just eccentric! 😜 Tyson has indeed been evolving! He's much more willing to participate in his treatment now - it's still difficult for him to commit because he believes that things won't change, but with Cynthia taking the hits for him, he might change his mind about that! ❤️ Have a lovely day!

Good Friday, April 20th Diego Silva "One, two, three!" Pearl excitedly counted down, and the arm wrestle was on! Lance strained and panted and cried out in exertion as he tried to slam Diego's arm to the table, but Diego, a smug grin on his face, only needed to match the boy's power. It wasn't very hard. Diego teased Lance by yawning and resting his head on the palm of his spare hand as his right arm, bicep bulging, didn't move an inch. "Bloody... bastard!" Lance's whole body was

Haha well she's managed to buy some time and temporarily scare off the C U Next Tuesday queen - that's the important thing! The groundwork has been laid as such! I'm glad you appreciate our dynamic doctor! Nah no recording in the interview room - it would be very illegal without consent from all parties, I think. Yeah, the major difference between the boys is that Vladimir's been hospitalised for quite a while so he's super keen to do what it takes to get out and additionally, he's been treated multiple times for most of his life. On the other hand, Tyson's entire world has been thrown completely upside-down in the span of eight days or so - it would be unfair to expect him to know how to handle things at this early stage. Good question, though! Cynthia done won the battle, but Edith's not so tunnel-visioned that she doesn't know when to retreat! Vladimir has a clear goal and the path is there for him - with Tyson, though, we don't have actual light at the end of the tunnel yet. Cynthia knows that this situation is an unsuitable endgame. Cynthia's a bit of a maverick in her profession - which is a little sad in its own way. Rather than restricting Tyson to the HDU (as she realistically should have on his admission) and keeping the boys apart (as she should since it's technically inappropriate even if it's innocent and harmless) she elects to bend those rules - whereas Dr Shrubb's method of using seclusion, sedation and restraints to control Vladimir is more readily accepted as an intervention. Let's hope it doesn't blow up in her face. Haha yes! That was cheap symbolism on my part. Hmmm I don't have a solid answer to this - she does make a deal initially to treat Vladimir (The Promise) when she realises it was a viable avenue to getting through to Tyson (as there seemed to be no others) and he promises (albeit going back on his word) not to try and hurt himself (she'd be in trouble if he needed to be in the secure wing and he succeeded in hurting himself.) So while she's aware that Tyson's infatuation and desire to explore those feelings is a huge anchor to keeping him from self-harm, she likely underestimates the connection. Yes! It's not just about putting a bandaid over an infected wound. There was no record of Tyson ever initiating such a thing - he skipped all avenues of help and went right for the suicide attempts. But you're right - it wouldn't have worked. Perhaps he knew that in advance! Okay you're getting too far ahead now. Settle down, pal. Thank you everybody for the comments! ❤️ It makes writing go from a hobby to an absolute pleasure. I hope I don't disappoint!

The first thing Dr Cynthia Elicott saw when she bypassed the airlock style system of locked security doors into the adolescent wing of the psychiatric ward made her smile. Since they arrived in the same place on the same day, Tyson from the Emergency Department and Vladimir from the high-dependency unit, the two had been nearly inseparable. Both looked a bit drowsy from their medications - she had recently changed Vladimir's antipsychotics to a different branch in hopes of getting his aggressive

Oh my gosh city living has made Charlie so bold! You absolutely lost me though when you revealed that Tom and co raise demon birds for a living. This story is doomed. 😒 Nah jokes ❤️ loved it!! All of it! They are different enough to be super interesting together and I'm super keen for the date! Great chapter! You should do it again some time!

Oof this chapter has certainly evoked a lot of thoughts and emotions! I'm really happy about that - I'm just also a little sad it's mostly hatred & fury! 😜 Tyson's sense of identity has been largely sculpted by his parents, especially his mother's omnipresence and egocentric ambition. Getting some time away away from their influence and spending time with mental health professionals is giving him opportunity to think for himself! Having people genuinely looking out for him (Cynthia, Neil, Brianna, Vladimir & Masha) is something he hasn't had before, and you're right, it's something he responds well to - now that he's beginning to build trust. Yes! (... yeah, it is pretty atypical) 160% accurate, as usual, Mr Travlbug ❤️ This is all pretty key and summed up far better than I would have been able to! Haha The longer her son is in an inpatient facility, the worse it reflects on her and the campaign of her husband. It's not about saving him - on both visits, I'm pretty sure she talks about him as though he's a broken down car and wonders why he isn't "fixed" yet. Vladimir heavily implies he suffered maltreatment and had no way to defend himself - part of the reason Masha is so grateful that Tyson found a way to secure a better treatment plan for him. This is also a key point later on - since the beginning, no matter how much Tyson complained about the state of his family and the futility of his treatment plan to the staff, it has always remained the decided course of action for him. He clearly baits his mother into lashing out at Dale, who did not seem to believe the situation until he saw it with his own eyes (he's pretty alarmed!) Now that he's finally decided to stop resisting psychiatric treatment, he's taking steps to change his fate. At this stage I haven't been totally clear about it. Vlady certainly remembers doing some horrible things - "letting" his friend die because he was too scared to fight the three-headed demon who was drowning him. He's also in the market for a new school and glumly wonders (some time ago) if it'll be a place for dangerous or disturbed kids. Thank you very much for the thoughts and the comments and the summaries! ❤️ I appreciate it so much! Hahaha! She's the alpha of the C U Next Tuesdays! That's actually quite gorgeous! Thank you! ❤️ Tragically accurate, too.
