What a harrowing story. Poor Kim. It's a wonder she copes as well as she does most of the time. And the secret is revealed...

Thank you. Although it was originally written as a one off, I’ve found myself wondering how Craig and James's relationship progresses.

Lovely slice of life. I can identify with Zane's way of having to plan out everything and thinking of all the possible pitfalls beforehand. When you have that kind of brain it's so easy to talk yourself out of doing anything, fearing your worst case scenarios will come true. What a good job he was able to overcome his reservations this time. Looks like he and Fenix will meet up again.

Life is a journey that must be traveled, no matter how bad the roads and accommodations. Oliver Goldsmith Craig tapped his fingers impatiently against the steering wheel, craning his neck to try and see how far the jam extended. As winter dusk fell, all that was visible was a long, snaking trail of red taillights, disappearing around the curve of the motorway. He glanced at the clock again. Four-thirty. He’d got the call from the Operations Centre just after two and had left Birmingham as q

Cinema engineer Craig is tired of life on the road; eating junk food, staying in bland hotels and never knowing if he’ll get home at night. He can’t see any way out until an unexpected turn of events and an encounter with a fellow traveller makes him realise there might be an alternative.

Don't think he'll play it again for a while!

Of course, they don't know that. Bet a lot of people had friends or family st Benden, or vice versa and ended up never seeing them again.

Yes, it's foreboding on a number of levels. Medical technology on Pern at this point is somewhere around the Middle Ages; although the healers are aware of certain conditions from old records, they can’t perform surgery or other interventions. A lot of people will inevitably die from conditions their ancestors would have considered treatable. Rina most likely died from an ectopic pregnancy.

The usual festivities marked the end of another Turn. New weyrlings joined the existing riders and with Loranth’s clutch of seventeen eggs hardening on the Sands, there would soon be a few more. T’ron solemnly read out the list of those who hadn’t made it; K’torl and H’fra among them. It wasn’t just riders who had died, of course; there were many other names on the list; weyrfolk who had lived to a ripe old age before passing away of natural causes, several who had succumbed to illness or accide

Poor Maks is so messed up. This is probably the saddest part of it. Maybe one day, when he was fifty and stuck in a boring, worn out, overwhelming marriage, he would remind himself of Aleks and the thought of being with him would make him happy, even if only for a moment.
-
This is really coming together. I didn't think Matt would be able to ignore what was going on as Seamus was able to. Glad that the FBI have come in.

Maks is going to have a difficult time coming to terms with what he's now discovered about himself. Ewelina is still very young and probably can’t understand his dilemmas fully, but if her attitudes are shared by others of her generation at least it seems that some king of change is going on in society.

Great tension in the pulling contest. Serve Paul right that his tractor engine blew up. The sight of those heavy horses performing dressage moves must be awesome. And leaving the end of the chapter right there... well, all I can say Is I hope you update fairly shortly because I can only hold my breath for so long.

Yes, there is both melancholy and foreshadowing going on. I'm getting into the last third of this story and there are some tough times ahead.

The story of G’dol’s mishap lost nothing in the telling. In fact, it gained a few flourishes as it spread around the Weyr. N’dru had insisted on a trip to the beach before returning, so that Dorniath wouldn’t foul the lake and G’dol the baths. His wherhide and the clothes he wore underneath had been beyond saving. After the experience, he was considerably more subdued and far more eager to listen to advice. He still wouldn’t be D’gar’s favourite person to spend time with, but he gradually g

So Ewelina has been seeing Karol while Maks was away. It doesn't justify him doing the same, but I think all of your readers will be glad to see that Maks and Aleks finally got together. Complications and recriminations are bound to ensue.

Interesting beginning. Wonder if something happened Ricky isn't talking about as to why he quit the running team. Also, Matt's been noticing quite a lot about Ricky. Although he was surprised about the kiss, I reckon it was more to do with him not having thought too deeply about their relationship before. Ricky is just one step ahead of him at the moment.

Read it and prepare to be amused! I can’t really say anything else or I’d give the plot away.

Saw this one today in a local museum.

Beautifully written. Maks is over analysing things, because that's how he is. Aleks wants him to make the first move, but the moment passes. i could really feel the tension in the room. The air was so heavy and stuffed with all that wasn't being said out loud, cause he knew now that he had feelings for Aleks, and Aleks knew that he knew, and all that knowledge was swirling around them. He was thrown out by what almost happened before in the hallway and what was still almost happening. He had to get a grip. Fast. Maks needs to figure out what he wants before he implodes!

I'm wondering about Kim's secrets now. That was a great chapter, with all the tension of Jett and Bruce chasing the perp, then the relaxation of lunch with Kyle. Currently basking in the sunshine in the UK for the Bank Holiday weekend. Hope your weather improves.

Alex’s is getting into the underworld far too deeply. Maks has just begun to realise there’s an attraction there, even if he's not sure what to do about it. Maybe he's been sexually repressed all his life because he never found 'the right one' before. I love the way the tension is slowly building in this story.

Her shyness is also as a result of having grown up in a Hold rather than a Weyr. Nudity is accepted at the Weyr, whereas as a well brought up young lady, Zalna certainly wouldn't have been allowed to parade around naked once she'd reached puberty. She'll soon shed any inhibitions now she's Impressed a dragon.

There was a high likelihood that if he carried in the way he was someone else might have suffered, but after his experience and, I suspect, a lecture from R'feem, he will hopefully alter his attitudes.
-
Absolutely. G'dol is definitely on of those people.
