    Thanks, Thorn. I appreciate your efforts editing it, and for the nice words. I really do think it'll be worth the journey for folks. Here we go.

    Don't feel obligated, friend. I feel that it's a good story and worth reading. But, many here are. 🙂 Thanks for reading the chapter, tim. If time and desire dictate, more will be there for you down the line.

    Hey, Chris. Yeah, it was time. 🙂 You got to read this one as I wrote it... but there will be minor changes in the chapters from the version you saw. Major plot points remain, so don't give anything away! 🙂

    Thanks, spyke. Yeah, this is my limit. Silverwolf and Bluegrass Symphony are still being written. It's nice to have a story I can post regularly, never miss an update, and just ensure each chapter is as good as it can possibly be. Plus, my beta reader was very sad that I hadn't done anything with Fleeting Eternity. Honestly, I believe I'm going to completely finish my next work before ever publishing a chapter. Less pressure! I'm glad you like the work. There's more coming.

    Thanks, Mac. I am a real lover of coffee and this shop in particular. I frequent the place quite a bit myself. The lighting, patrons, smells, are all stamped into my mind, and to do it justice, I had to make sure you could experience it all too.

    I get it. I really appreciate your early help while I was writing. You had a big effect on a lot of the tale - you know which parts.

    Thanks, Fae. It's done, and it's time to really set it loose. Not including the pictures really hung me up for a long time, but the story will just have to speak for itself.

    Nate noticed the pair almost immediately. The woman and man came in from the wet and cool weather, and then they approached the counter of the coffee shop. All the while, Nate surreptitiously watched them. "What do you want to eat, Tad?" The raven-haired woman gave her full attention to the man beside her. She motioned toward the menu. "Whatever you want. I'm buying." "I'm not hungry," the fellow said and he wiped his hands on his jacket. He wore a knit cap pulled down so that it complet
  9. Does anything last forever? This question is on the minds of all of our characters in this tale. This isn't a story of eternal happiness. Instead, it is one of using the time we have the best way that we can. A life well-lived means that we go on long after our last breath - a fleeting life, rippling out forever.

    Thanks, Thorn. I wanted it to feel cut off. Like dreams often are.
  11. Happy Birthday, Myr! I hope it's amazing! 🙂

    “Dreck?” Did you play Shadowrun, chummer? 😜 I’m glad you liked it. There are definitely a few little plot points to note. I’m really drunk, so I am going to stop here. wait. Thanks for reading. Yes. That’s what I should say here.

    Thank you, Mike. I keep getting encouraged to write it. So here we are. 😊
  15. I really like this story. It shows the angst of Andi, the questions he has, and his fear that Ronan will not find him attractive, or desirable. Or even worse - that Ronan will not see him as a man. In the end, Andi is what he is. Ronan can see it, and in the process of proving that, he helps Andi come to a place of greater acceptance of himself. Nice work, Thorn.

    Levko

    I thought I reviewed this already, but I suppose not. This was my introduction to tim's writing. After MacGreg's lessons, this was the first thing I read on GA. To put it bluntly, this made me realize how terrible I was (am, really) with the basic mechanics of writing. Levko's life is filled with hurt, abuse, and pain. But with help he overcomes it. It took a single hand reaching out to help. It's an example of what one person can do, to make a difference in the life of another. Stories like these give me hope. It also raised the bar for me. I knew after reading this that I had to be a better writer. Thanks for writing, tim. You're a great talent.

    A thrumming under my hand, A living, beating heart. Mind trying to understand, How such a thing could start. "What have you done to me, dear?" The words I barely find. You only smile, draw me near, You let me make you mine. I smile against your warm face, You're all I want and need... I wake. A dream. Finished. Like me.

    😉 That's not a bad thought.

    Right? Additionally, Wolfgang would never have a doubt how someone felt about him. Ever. Out of all of the characters I've written, his ability is the one I want the most. Though... where it came from... not sure I'd want that.

    I'm happy you enjoyed it. And... happy Paul did too. lol

    Yes... Wolfgang and Jed were both appalled at Franklin's state. Wolfgang could feel the depth of... ah, ownership Jed had over Franklin, thanks to the power of the beast, and Jed could tell just from how Wolfgang acted how bad it was. I'm trying to imagine it - the moment after Jed "fixed" Franklin. Wolfgang, sharing Franklin's emotions. Staring into his eyes, and knowing how much Franklin felt for him. It's why Wolfgang couldn't help but smile. He saw himself in the most positive light imaginable - that of someone who had just fallen in love.

    The voice rolled over Wolfgang, and he reeled under it. "Oh." His tired eyes blinked slowly. "Yeah. Sleep." Wolfgang let Jed lead him into the bedroom. Jed knew he needed rest, and the voice was particularly effective when whatever he suggested was something the person wanted in the first place. That bit, about if it was something someone wanted anyway... it might apply here. 😉 Franklin has been smitten with Jed for months. So, you might be onto something.

    Packmates

    Thanks, Timothy. Yeah... just because Wolfgang can shake off the voice doesn't mean others can. He had no idea it would impact Franklin so dramatically. And yes - Franklin wanted sex with the guys. He didn't plan on falling in love with anybody, but at least he's not a drooling sex slave now. 😳

    Packmates

    Thanks, Chris. EVERYBODY knows about the killings. They don't know what's causing them, but yeah... it's widely known that they're happening. Franklin definitely got what he was after, and then some. Though, now he's head over heels in love with Wolfgang and Jed. Jed's wolf always wanted a puppy, well now he has one! Shawn seems to be someone both Jed and the wolf enjoy. Maybe he'll meet the rest of the pack at some point? God... I need to prepare myself for that.
