Thanks! I'll look at that link.

I think "dalliances" were fairly common, and poorly kept secrets. As long as they were not reported or witnessed by men not "in the know", they were not a priority.

George was triumphant in this chapter! First with Iggy, who appears to genuinely have fallen in love with him. Fortunately, George is just in like with Iggy. I see Iggy as a potentially influential friend, a lively sometime lover, and a total loose cannon. He needs to be handled with care. He is mending fences with his crush. I agree Travers was jealous. His heroic lifesaving actions will further increase the affections and respect of the crew.

I don't doubt for a second that George will gain the upper hand with Iggy. He is remarkably perceptive and adaptable. I look forward to the show!

My first impression is that George's quick mind, good manners, and affable personality will take him far, farther than his nobility even. Wilcox could learn a few lessons, but refuses to even acknowledge this. I think the Captain doesn't miss much and it will all work it's way out in time.

What a wonderful and heartfelt meeting! I think one of the two busy men needs to arrange a trip across the Atlantic! I'm happy for Lukas, as well. It must be so gratifying to see the fruits of his labor.

I need a mattress so have done some searching on the internet, there are a lot of mattresses at a very wide range of prices. I need to take a lesson from Adam and just do it! I enjoyed Kai's internal thoughts, it showed his vulnerability and his consideration for Adam. He would rather take the pain than cause Adam to worry. We already know that Adam would rather upset his routined world than be impolite to Kai's family. These two are made for each other. They are just starting their relationship, but are already able to have a conversation about enemas!

Lunch-boxes and packages
CincyKris commented on Robert Hugill's story chapter in Lunch-boxes and packages
So it appears that fate is converging on Ralph! First the glimpse of Gordon, now the swimwear website will put all the "bits and bobs" right in his face. Listen to fate Ralph! Note to Therese: get ready for the tween wars (x2)! Those girls are not going to put up with their mother's nonsense for much longer. And, when Ralph finally decides to break free and Therese goes batshit, guess who the twins will choose.- 13 comments

It certainly appears the "the Jock" is still alive, and quite successful. Despite his scary and unfortunate experiences in the war. Maybe he became stronger due to those experiences. Now, will Lukas fly back to the States, or will his father fly to Austria? I'm really looking forward to finding out.

"The hang" is turning into a much bigger deal than just the private side-job for an acquaintance. I can't see Heyward passing up the chance for a public spectacle! I wonder if Vaughan's compatriots will review it favorably?
-
This was a chilling and gripping chapter. I wonder about the jock. Did Hans ever find out what happened to him? Looking forward to the next chapter.

Sneaky Mark is trying to surprise his friends, I wonder if his skill is a giveaway? I appreciate that Mark is not taking advantage of his family status and money to get ahead in his mining work. This way, he'll learn more and value it more.

Windy Island was a character into itself. Andy used it to gain solitude, then to hide away. Matt used it to heal, twice. Andy and Matt together don't feel the need to hide away or to heal, they can move on to a better life. Loved it!

I actually had 4, but didn't post them. But to be fair, 3 of them were fairly obvious, if you have read the authors. @quokka, @kbois, and @astone2292, I'm talking about you! Great job to all the Secret Authors!

Chapter 1 Darts of Destiny
CincyKris commented on kbois's story chapter in Chapter 1 Darts of Destiny
You're also going to need to read @astone2292's Shadows series to really get this. Make sure you read all the comments for their stories! There is an All-Star chapter in this story that is not to be missed, #wewasrobbed! -
Great start to the new story! I find it interesting that Ralph, who chose image instead of real happiness, also chose a woman who puts image above all else. I have sympathy for Ralph, but also realize that he chose his course in life. I look forward to the "breaking free" part of this tale. Whilst reading, I was looking forward to @Summerabbacat's critique of Therese, and I was not disappointed!

Hmmmm, I'm guessing Megan, or the doc, will somehow figure it out. Maybe when the next book is released. You know he has one pseudonym for the bodice rippers, maybe he should write gay fiction under another pseudonym. Maybe he already does. Is your real first name Adam? You can tell us, we'll keep your secret.

No dangly bits on duty
CincyKris commented on Robert Hugill's story chapter in No dangly bits on duty
The party was predictably eye opening, but ended up serving as a lesson, one that may become important in the future. All in all, a successful night for our boys. They fulfilled their perceived obligation to Heyward, they didn't compromise themselves, and decided on their limits. If Francis Heyward is playing a chess match with Vaughan and Dan, he is falling behind, whether he realizes it or not. -
It seems like Gwen's biggest anxiety producing trigger is her lacking as a mother. With Matt living with her she faces this anxiety head-on every single day. Of course, I hope that Matt ends up living with Andrew on Windy Island eventually. I think that Matt's relationship with his mom will improve with a little distance.

I wonder if Kenji is happy? He probably feels duty and respect, but does his work make him happy? It doesn't feel that it is even a consideration in his family. I think River makes him happy. Iowa's food does not.

We finally achieved complete satisfaction! Adam and Kai even admitted their love for each other!

Keith started the story deep in the closet, unhappy and lacking in confidence, awkward in social encounters, and living in a cramped rundown flat with several guys. Thomas was in better condition, but still lonely and living with family, rather than on his own. The guys are happy, completely out to their many friends and acquaintances, enjoying new activities, and living on their own next door to each other. Brilliant transformation!

Gwen reminds me of my niece at 15, happy one moment, raging the next, in tears and inconsolable after. Will she ever achieve stability? I don't know, but I do know that it is not Matt's responsibility to be her keeper. Andrew finally took the big first step, after prodding by Maeve, he is facing just as much uncertainty as Matt. But Matt has come a long way towards emotional independence.
