  1. This was an insightful chapter that cast new light on old relationships. Alexander had Lyn's back in this situation, showing himself to be a lot more caring than we had imagined. He even framed having Lyn to stay as a favour from Lyn to him. Alexander is becoming a lot more interesting.
  2. This is precisely what I am now thinking. Alexander has had an eye on Lyn all this time and is close to Brad in order to stay close to Lyn.
  3. What must have started as a terrifying experience for Kellar, has quickly become second nature, as he explores his capabilities. Like others, I'm glad he did not totally decimate Warren, although I'm glad the little sod wet himself. Quid pro quo - now time to move on. I'm rooting for Kellar, the beast.
  4. What an adventure this must feel like for a 16 year old. Kellar reminds me a little of Harry Potter. Orphan, brought up with a malicious cousin, but soon will find his own power. Parents who have disappeared? I think they will reappear at some point. Great story.

    Secret Power

    What a chapter! I loved it. We knew Theodore would survive as the epic battle still has to take place. Danny is healing Ryder and I am sure will do it fully, wold and human. So looking forward to next week. 👏 👏 👏

    True Alpha

    Wow!!! I can't wait to see what that is.
  7. A chapter filled with unraveling story lines. Let's see where they go. There is little love between Brad and Bella.
  8. Im not sure how I missed this story previously. Anyway, here goes and looking forward to the ride.
  9. Better off as Memories has left me very tender-hearted as I recognise in the narrator aspects of my own life and relationships. A fantastic morning read that many of us will recognise.

  10. A most poignant retelling of something many of us have experienced. I still see my guy 3 or 4 times a week. He has started dating a mutual friend, and while I am honestly happy for them, it has tweaked my heart just a little bit. 💓

    Chapter 16

    A very productive chapter on all counts. A great business deal for Jim. Jon was a trooper at home. Alex and Jon bond further and a distinct if mild thaw from Keith. All round a move forward.
  12. In many ways the 3 main characters are all reflections of aspects of ourselves: the broken but healing man, the man in the middle who is getting on with life dealing with the pain, and the young one who has been freed and is filled with hope. This has left me with a whirlwind of emotions and has certainly pushed me beyond my comfort zone. 🙃 Magnificent writing!

    True Alpha

    OK. That's just mean. 9bviousky Ryder has to recover, but jeez. So Cassandra is up to something and Theodore knows what it is about. Waiting patiently for next week.
  14. Well this is an unexpected context for Lyn. He and Alexander present similarly, but I suspect one is genuinely wealthy. Having said that a Victorian redbrick house gone to seed, indicates that there may have been some wealth at some stage in the past. I wonder exactly what it is that Lyn's mom has to do to buy him an expensive gift. 🤔

    The Opera

    I am delighted to see George and his merry men again. He remains my all-time favourite character on GA. I'm glad George got time with Calvert and their love remains strong. 💕 It's a good thing that Daventry didn't speak out about the negotiations. George really is growing in stature, both with his sovereign and with the people.
  16. This was a very revealing chapter as more details of the friendship triangle emerge. As others have said, I am sure that Brad knew of Alexander's interest in Lyn, and of Lyn's interest in him. What we don't yet know is what Brad's interest was, or whether we take at face value what Mrs Fox has shown us - which as we all know, is as safe as quick sand.
  17. How we all wanted the condom to burst, and perhaps it still will, but that would just be too easy for Laura Fox story. Without doubt these two are meant for each other and Fate or FATE will find a way.
  18. Wow, there is a depth to the commentary that is rarely seen. This story is powerful in so many levels, and as has already been said, there are no heroes in the true sense of heroism, rather people being flawed humans, struggling to make sense of a broken world. I'm sorry Nick left Bobby. It seems harsh, to abandon somebody you've claimed to protect. Let see if the next chapter helps us make sense of that action. This must be one of the most intricately woven tapestries of lust, betrayal, a tainted kind of love, I've ever read. Splendid work @CasualWanderer82
  19. There is definitely a chemistry between Brad and Lyn. Alex is a third wheel, but Lyn tolerates him because of their friendship with Brad. Being in the closet, it's clear that Lyn is hiding his sexuality from the world and the hours of study, besides being financially necessary, provide a kind of cover. That closet is a damned hard place to be.

    "You'll Learn"

    The image of a broken child becoming an armoured but broken adult is the tragedy of Adrian, alongside his realisation that when he came upon the fork in the path, he chose the wrong route. 😢 and that bad choice has impacted his entire life as well as Bobby and Nick's lives. Now having tasted independence and power, Adrian must face dependence and powerlessness. There is still a chance that he can be redeemed and transformed, if not forgiven. My heart feels for the young Adrian and rhe older man he might have become. I have hope that Bobby has broken this mold. 😕
  21. Yeah. Agreed. I'm interested to see how each of these chaps grows out of this shared experience.
  22. This is the moment of truth for Adrian - one he cannot unsee or unknow. He will have to come to terms with not being the centre of the universe and infact having to remodel a new life, a new reality. As much as Adrian has been a monster, Nick and Bobby bought into the narrative and played their parts. I hope Adrian finds something authentic around which to build his new life. Nick and Bobby obviously go their own ways for a time, but how they come back together and where the journey leads for all 3 of them is something I'm fascinated to see. Spectacular writing!!
  23. Watching 2 people coming out of their largely self-inflicted cocoons. Is fascinating. Although quiet touches and soft caresses are part of the thread that binds them, they are developing separately and as individuals alongside one another. Support given and received in the face of impending, awe-inspiring freedom is a strong motif throughout the chapter. Perhaps time apart, 5 years, may allow a coming together that is more authentic, lasting, less founded on need and more on a mutual recognition.
  24. This chapter is a masterpiece in its own right. Bobby is allowed to be the kid trusting the adult, and Nick quietly takes charge in the gentlest possible way. It seems that the physical breaking of Adrian is going to be the trigger of Bobby and Nick's personal development.
