    Chapter 40

    CincyKris commented on Mark Ponyboy Peters's story chapter in Chapter 40

    The absence of Raffa’s parents in the ICU waiting room lead me to think that Raffa is being moved to a regular room rather than back into surgery. I think that Raffa and Gray are lucky to work at such a supportive company. Although I think it has less to do with location than the difference amongst companies. I work at a business here in the US that has been very accommodating to medical issues. I suspect there are plenty of workplaces in Australia that are unfortunately less supportive than Gray’s store.

    This sex-centric chapter was soooo Max! Lots of sex and snark! I can't wait for their bumpy future.

    Chapter 39

    CincyKris commented on Mark Ponyboy Peters's story chapter in Chapter 39

    I think Mike feels quite a bit of guilt over the encounter with Animal, Gray, and himself. And presumably other encounters before that, I doubt that Raffa and Gray were the only ones. Mowing down Animal was a visceral response to that guilt, will Mike turn his life around now?

    Button

    CincyKris reviewed Cole Matthews's story in Fiction

    This is a wonderful story of the first 20 years of life for a young man now called Craig, but he will always be Button to his dads. Early on, his fathers are the main characters, and they are well written, fully fleshed-out people. We get to see Button go from adorable toddler with special needs, to a thoughtful kid, to a typical teenager (meaning mostly good but sometimes selfish and hormonal), to a very decent and responsible young man. The brief once a year glimpse into the lives of Button, his dads, and his friends gives us a surprisingly full picture of their lives. I highly suggest you read 1550 Loring Lane first. Not just because it will give you background for Button, it will give you background for many of @Cole Matthews's stories. And it's a great read!

    I wonder if their father was using the same methods of parenting as his own father, or was he using his management style for parenting? He certainly seemed to treat his children as employees. Fortunately dear old dad's cutthroat child rearing is not being passed on further.

    Chapter 37

    CincyKris commented on Mark Ponyboy Peters's story chapter in Chapter 37

    Oh, poor Raffa! This does indeed sound like a long road to recovery. I think Gray will be a big help. It's a good thing he lives on one floor in the converted garage.

    Chapter 2

    CincyKris commented on JJQuinn's story chapter in Chapter 2

    That was an epic round two! I'm going to call it a draw, for now. They both scored some hits, but both lost their shit a little bit. It is fun watching these two warriors trying to one up each other. It will be even more fun watching them work together. It was funny that two of Max's conquests were witness to the telenovella.

    Chapter 19

    CincyKris commented on lilansui's story chapter in Chapter 19

    We are closer to finding out who is behind the black poison. Why have they murdered Dante's line? Did they kidnap his son? This chapter had a little bit of everything.

    Great chapter, it was entertaining and also gave us a hint at the timeline. I laughed at this quote, Garth Brooks would approve! “As my grandmother would say, the sun’s over the yardarm somewhere.”

    I don't know many details about Russell, but the fact that he nearly starved himself to keep the kids alive is enough to like him. Treating Russell will help Jake's confidence as their doctor. And damned if you didn't make tear up at Becky's crying over a birthday cake. They're building a community, not just some structures.

    Chapter 1

    CincyKris commented on JJQuinn's story chapter in Chapter 1

    I wish I could see Roman's face when Max walks in the room! I love Janet, and Max sure does need a Janet in his life. I look forward to these two stubbornly independent and just plain stubborn men interact.

    Brotherly love

    CincyKris commented on Robert Hugill's story chapter in Brotherly love

    I am hopeful that the brothers, who are more like acquaintances or coworkers that chat but don't share, will become family. I think that Freddie could be their bridge.
  13. CincyKris
    I loved this intricate mystery! I enjoy the guessing along the way. You wrote very good, quirky characters that all had their own voices.
  14. CincyKris
    Yes! I knew she did it, now I know why. I hope our guys will be ok.

    Nats is looking more and more suspicious, I still can't figure out her accomplices.
  16. CincyKris
    I think Steve was absolutely straight and all the gay stuff was planted. I don't know why. It was only after Jake was killed that the body was found and the gay evidence was found. Was the fireman Ella's source? Or a cop?
  17. CincyKris
    I don't think it's Eddie. I still think it's Nats, maybe with Nigella's help?
  18. CincyKris
    The reporter's name is Nigella. When Ben and Rush share info, will they make the connection?
  19. CincyKris
    I've always assumed Nats was secretly in love with Jake. But was the bartender talking about Jake or Eddie?
  20. CincyKris
    Well, since the dry ice was mentioned by another reader, I'll expand on my guess. I think the bucket did contain dry ice and the heater was brought in to make it evaporate faster. That is why the carbon dioxide levels were so high in the bathroom. The heater was never Jake's. Since the assumption was a carbon monoxide accident, I doubt that any fingerprints were taken. If they were, you wouldn't have found Jake's on it! Nats lied about turning the heater off. First she said "I turned it off, that's it". Now, according to the fireman, she tried to turn it off and couldn't, it ran out of gas.

    It appears that Rush will be jumping sides and work for Twyla! I'm still pretty sure about the method of Jake's murder, which is not what is currently assumed by most commenters and characters, but I still don't know the why or who. I'm feeling fortunate that I have happened upon this story on my days off!
  22. CincyKris
    So Steve's body was dumped. I assumed from the blog that he was gay, and that whatever happened between Jake, Eddie, and Steve was sexual. But now I think that Steve was straight. All the evidence he was gay and into the leather scene could be staged by the killer. Clothing, hanky, sex toys. Did the anonymous tip to the reporter come from Nats? Was she the latest conquest turned killer?

    Discovery 10

    CincyKris commented on Cole Matthews's story chapter in Discovery 10

    That last part made me tear up a little. Teenagers just suck! I still suspect Nats the most.
  24. CincyKris
    I forgot to mention the increase in views of the blog towards the end. Eleven is not a big number, but it's more than 5 or 6. Did Jake write something that someone didn't want others to read?
  25. CincyKris
    I reread the blog portion of the story. I suspect Steve from the blog is the young man shot under the bridge. I have no clue what the connection is. To answer your question, I do not trust either Nats or Eddie. I think I know the actual cause of death and the purpose of the heater. It has everything to do with the fire man's report about the carbon dioxide levels and the bucket. Jake had asthma, which was not a secret. Who is "the other man"? In his blog, Jake mentioned an ex who was a construction worker. Eddie worked at a hospital, with cancer fighters. Did I mention I don't trust Nats?
