    ooh Kyle's a Harding!
  2. Is Vera another crossover character from Brian & Gordon?

    Hats off for Brian, the Giraffe Daddy overlord, right? Lotta hats for Brian! And some neck.

    Chapter 21

    Blake is a prisoner of genre (which has unexpectedly and delightfully shifted). After all, a man in his time plays many parts, his acts being seven genres, this one sudden and quick, seeking reputation, but always in the canon's mouth.

    You'll need to let Myr know whether to tag it "Ontario Gothic" or "Upper Canada Noir"

    There was a time when you would have been right. There's still lots wrong with the world, but there has been change.

    "Merrickville, where crime never slept" is probably a business opportunity for the kids. They could open a cozy little B&B where crime can freshen up before it heads back over to Manotick, where the noir really start to cook.

    Chapter 21

    "Jason shook his head, “This trope is getting a little strained now, don’t you think?” " Any strain is just due to lack of regular exercise, it'll come around. "Wolochowski knew that things were never easy, not on the mean streets of Merrickville, where crime never slept, and danger lurked behind cheerily painted western style flapping doors. " Crime in Merrickville is just a day job, it commutes in on the 8:15 from Smiths Falls.

    This, and their date is known and Jack was at his parents home in that time frame, so at a very bleak minimum, they'd constitute evidence of neglect; if some hypothetical villain gave Jack that beating and the parents didn't act to get him care or even know about it. Generally courts will take "they did it" testimony from victims; they were there, after all.
  12. Getting interested in what the Nature Reserve has to offer has worked before! This is fun!

    Wow, Sally swung fast from "You are my husband. For better or for worse" to "I'm divorcing you" to "lets figure it all out"

    woo Grandma visit!

    Chapter 12

    Yeah. Except Jason's strategy is a good one. "Yep, we're old friends" kinda lets the air out of the "this is scandalous" gossip balloon.

    Well, it took ages, but they're all primed to actually have a conversation now. Or just have a good time together without all the crazy tension. 🐯🦅🦅 🦅

    Chapter 8

    Matt got out, right? He had to get out of town. Good for Clovis, he's spent years doing good, and now the karmic payback of some entertaining fun! (Which he's promised not to talk about, but it's well-deserved)

    Chapter 16

    re: sad emoji @Krista ; your characters don't have to live like this, you know. In a @Lee Wilson story Lisa Benton would have faced serious narrative consequences by now. If not murder, at least struck by lightning or something.

    Yay for Mom's research. Call your Grandma, Jack. At the start of the next chapter.

    Chapter 16

    We live in a fallen world where the wicked prosper and the faithless live at ease.

    Chapter 5

    Ooh, so the money thing is real. I was 50/50 on that last chapter. Hehe, Steve coming out to Dad and Clovis just being "oh, this again."

    Chapter 16

    Lisa may be an empty-nester very soon. This would be very good for Cody, because he'd get Joel and nice at the Connley's is lot better than toxic at the Benton house. Also Cody keeps running off into some fields, he might really enjoy the farm and riding horses around. Lacey is a bit older than Cody?

    It could well be Westley that the cops are going for.

    Chapter 16

    Yay, awful with Lisa as usual but some excellent moving-forward developments now. 🐯🐯🐯 🦅

    Chapter 4

    And Kenny knows that for sure, of course, because Steve is a reliable narrator?
