  1. Loving v Virginia is an under discussed, monumental Supreme Court ruling. Thank you for shining a spotlight on it. You did an exceptional job of weaving that ruling into the lives of CJ and Owen. Leibe’s wedding was perfect! Couldn’t help but ‘smile cry’ when Chipper sang.

    Chapter 1

    I cannot stop smiling! It is now ass-o’clock in the morning and I gladly gave up a night’s sleep reading; I couldn’t make myself take a break or wait until the sun rose. It was worth it! What a fantastic twist on age differences in relationships, the perception of who has the power, and planning out / playing the long game. In under 20,000 words Nolan and Jensen won my heart.

    Chapter 14

    My takeaway is the same as the other commenters; learning about Kinon is important. I’m interested to find what exactly Aero knows and who the source of the kara ot is.

    Chapter 28

    Yes, because this is a noble cause and mostly dead is slightly alive. Then there is that pesky true love we all shouldn’t forget about…

    Chapter 28

    And just like that, with Elijah feeling that flash of heat in his chest, my ‘Kage can’t be all the way gone’ bubble of denial is back. It has much firmer walls and I am working on decorating it while I float around waiting for the next chapter. I’ve also decided to go all Princess Bride and imagine some Billy Crystal type character explaining to us, at some point further along in the story, how Kage still exists. For now, I will gladly take the possibility that Cameron will be saved. Enjoy your vacation! You’ve earned it.

    Chapter 27

    Dang it! I had convinced myself that it couldn’t have been Neall. I think I’ve still been floating in my ‘Kage can’t really be all the way gone’ bubble of denial. This chapter popped the bubble. It’s all very, very real. Pups are being tortured and killed. Lives are being lost and someone’s children are gone forever. *sigh. Yes, please, to going camping and regrouping. Because there is some sh#t going down with Tyler calling out Boston and our guys need a moment to breathe.

    Do we know that it was Kennaman using the computer? Or was it someone else with to access it?

    Chapter 26

    I am also in on the vote that the smell is a dead body. And I agree with those who do not think it is Neall. I think Elijah's reaction would have been more emotional. Could it be Kennaman himself? Did someone get to Kennaman and kill him off? Well, one can only hope...

    Chapter 25

    It feels like we are about to jump into the deep end of the pool.

    Chapter 2

    What an astounding tribute to true, lasting love. You are right, even when it doesn’t work out the way we want love can remain pure and strong. You are incredibly gifted in expressing feelings most of us grapple with. After reading this, I think I’ll spend the rest of the day listening to Sam Cooke.

    The Perfect Car

    This is such a lovely, poignant story filled with a sense of wonder, continuity and cherished memories. I cried, not from sadness, but from feeling a part of their lives and their love.

    Chapter 1

    This piece beautifully gives a voice to those who often feel they cannot speak for themselves while in a very ugly situation. It gives power and understanding to those who desperately need it at a time when they realize control was previously taken from them. Well done. Thank you.

    Chapter 24

    Yes! Reading the names and getting a bit of background made it all feel real and very worrisome. The fate of the twins really scares me. The rescue efforts will be tense and extremely dangerous.
  14. 84Mags

    Chapter 23

    Yes, and I had held out hope there would be clues for how to reverse the change in the lost computer. But at least we now know where the pups were initially taken. Progress!

    Chapter 23

    And he is honing his skills for his mate. Who I think is Caleb.

    Chapter 23

    I had hoped that the computer data would also reveal how to change the pups back, but I am glad that at least the data revealed their whereabouts. It is impressive how quickly it was decoded. Now it’s time to get the teams rolling! Thanks for updating us on the weather situation. I have family in Florida. It really is a tomato / tomahtoe situation between twister, tornado, wind gust, downspout or thunderstorm. Glad everyone is ok. Not having insurance makes it stressful, though, so I am sure you will be busy helping folks find ways to replace what has been lost.

    Chapter 22

    I am also a founding member of Team Caleb but let’s really think about this whole redemptive arch thing. Caleb has a ways to go to make things right. If Caleb is Tyler’s mate then Tyler ups his ‘got game’ points AND we get to hear from Caleb in this story. Caleb working directly to help the pups and get rid of Huntington? Let’s do the math: Caleb + Tyler [x finding the pups safe] - Huntington = redemption. My calculations don’t account for a full Caleb story, but that will be welcome, too.

    Chapter 22

    Sincere condolences on the loss of you mom. Thank you for trusting us with this part of your life. Lots of tidbits and important information in this chapter. My two (of many) take aways from this chapter: Kage has a very strong voice within Elijah; he remains a literal part of Elijah and a guiding force. The teams and how they are organized are a direct result of Kage’s influence. Second, I think that Caleb and Tyler are mates.
  19. A very satisfying ending-for-now. I especially enjoyed learning Northman is being transferred to Angola. Oz figured out a great way to remain with the Nature Conservancy. CJ is putting the infrastructure to a presidential run in place. All is well.

    Chapter 21

    Tyler’s entry onto pack lands and learning about more about shifters as well as seeing a shift for himself could not have gone any smoother. That goes a long way to building trust. Right now it is especially important for for both Elijah and Tyler to feel safe and surrounded by those they know are trustworthy. Interesting reaction Tyler had to the totally naked part of shifting 😉! Seems he might be open to a male shifter relationship…

    Chapter 20

    Yes! Exactly. A perfect summation; I could not have said it any better.

    Chapter 19

    I think Tyler is correct, the upcoming trip and the events that are to come will be pivotal life moments for both of them.

    Arrival

    The West Wing is also one of my all time favorites. And while I am gushing, CJ’s verbal smack down and not so subtle shading of the Fox News reporter reminded me of wish-he-really-was-President Josiah ‘Jed’ Bartlet.

    Arrival

    I was so excited to see the next in this series posted and you did not disappoint! There are so many to choose from, but my favorite part in this chapter is with the Biden’s for a subtle shout out to C.J. Cregg (actress Allison Janney) from West Wing by using Allison Cregg.

    Chapter 18

    The laptop was exactly where most of us suspected it would be, and finding it felt just as bittersweet and almost anti climatic as expected now that Kage is gone. This chapter highlighted just how young and inexperienced Elijah and Tyler are, yet showcased their potentials to confidently handle adult situations. They missed some major red flags. Why did Trevor show up and merely bait them? Is it really a good plan to blindly meet with Kage’s boss knowing so little about the overall situation they are in? Yet, they recognize it is best to stick together, keep Tyler’s family out of all of it, let go of Elijah’s no-longer-home… and… get the Montana pack involved.
