I really enjoyed the realistic tone and conversation. I hope that father and son will be able to live together when Brian's term of service is complete. With Gordon? Maybe. Please don't "Americanize" the language, if we don't understand something, we can Google it. I will now forever think of preservatives as E-numbers.

Thanks for the info, it answered a lot of questions I had. When do we get to meet Mischa? We've heard so much about him but never from him. I'm looking forward to church later. I may never have uttered that phrase before!

Lawyer, lawyer, lawyer!!!! This is the only thing Micco should say to Chase and Special Agent Douchebag. Regarding the overwhelming hate feelings, I'm with @drpaladinon this, I think it's an animal, but if it isn't one of their own wolves, who was it? I believe we learned a gunshot was involved in his nightmares, not just a fire. We are learning of the circumstances of his parent(s) death and his resulting PTSD little by little. Another possible blackout has got to be putting Micco completely off-kilter, not good going into an interrogation.

These two fit very well together!

I first read this story a few years ago before I was a member. I read all of Gary's stories when I found Cards on the Table and Morningstar Malaise , this really stuck with me as a pick-me-up feel-good story. I highly suggest it for a quick binge read of a well written story that will take you to a great place, regardless of what's going on in the real world.

Long John Silver ....... I love it! And you're not the only one that talks to your cat, as long as I don't hear human responses back in my head I'm not worried.

I'm hoping their building a lot more than just a fine castle!

Whatever happened to Micco as an under-ten-year-old, Chase knows all about it. Micco mentioned the smell of smoke and the sound of his mother screaming, but also of cruel laughter. I think more happened to him as a little kid than a house fire and his mother's death. Billy was and still is a huge influence, but who raised Micco? It seems that Micco was in love with Chase and his best friend's rejection devastated him. Great job ratcheting up the tension, the looming hurricane adds an extra level!

I found the POV changes very distracting. Reread the passage at the restaurant, you switch back and forth. It pulled me out of the story and I had to go back over it a few times.

They learned a lot about each other! I loved the comfortable atmosphere. As much as Mitch was concerned about being too old and Tom being a boy, it is clear they are connecting as equals. The star of the chapter was silver!

A List of Things You’re Not Allowed
CincyKris commented on Laura S. Fox's story chapter in A List of Things You’re Not Allowed
I was trying to not get emotionally invested in these characters, due to the dark and potentially dangerous vibe. But my giant sigh of relief when Hudson rescued Otis proves that I was unsuccessful. Oh well, bring it on! -
I was thinking the same about Vincent, and all the "Vincents" of the time. So many gay men and women ignored a huge part of their lives to have a family, home, career. I picture Vincent as a good man, a good father, a good farmer. He may love his wife, as you would a best friend. But, it's not quite the same. Bittersweet was the perfect word. Hopefully, some day, he will find his forever love. Just not Jubal, he's going to be off the market. Maybe Reid will still be available?

I can picture the look on Trudy's face when someone explains fruit emojis! “I have a lot of great eggplant recipes. It’s one of Jed's favorite veggies as well. That’s probably where Perry gets it from.”

The whole eggplant section had me laughing as hard as Charlie! Trudy added the perfect topper to the conversation. Poor Kyan has no idea that everyone already knew, I'm sure he'll be relieved in the next chapter when he realizes everyone is happy and supportive. And they will never be able to have eggplant without giggling ever again.

I loved the positive, hopeful feel of this chapter. The guys enjoyed a leisurely bit of flirting, especially Lucas, when they awakened. Jubal is feeling valued and useful, I think that will be important to his healing. Lucas is feeling proud and validated, his loneliness is abating.

To be fair, I'm more of a beer and bourbon person. If the only thing on tap is cheap mass marketed beer, I'll just pass.

I identify with Tom in the last couple of chapters. I am a foodie but not an oenophile. I haven't had a processed frozen meal (frozen pizza does not count) in a couple decades. Fresh food tastes better, and it's not that hard. However, grocery store wine.....hell yes!
-
My favorite chapter so far! This Mitch is so much more likable than the Mitchell from the first few chapters of book one!

Please do not encourage that kind of behavior!

The one thing I know for sure is that Micco did not kill Sam. I usually hesitate to agree with the early guesses by @weinerdog, for obvious reasons 🙄, but I think Sam was set up by one of his frenemies. The absence of Martina is very interesting.

I find it interesting that all the witnesses, the doctors, were allowed to listen to all the other's testimony. That certainly isn't the case with expert witnesses today.

I'm intrigued with the potential of Tom and Mitch. I'm also very curious about the end of Tom and Kit. What happened to "I am the Kit", with all that possession? It doesn't sound like their relationship lasted that long.

Just an FYI in this otherwise enjoyable story, because one works in a warehouse, or restaurant, or retail store, or anywhere besides an office does not mean you "have half a brain"! I know you have done some editing to this story to remove some offensive and cringey language, the following quote also doesn't sound like Tom, maybe Kit. “Fun? Shoving boxes around all day, order-picking; that’s your idea of fun? You really don’t believe that shit yourself, do you? I was going to do the real fun stuff; legal stuff. Nice, clean surroundings. Coffee by the truckload. Work with people that have half a brain. That, I was looking forward to.”

Yes, this! Beckett's realization that he wants this new world, maybe even needs this new world, will be a turning point. Also, I'm a little surprised we haven't already been in a dungeon, it seems very appropriate. Off to the tunnels!
