    I am afraid as well, friend.

  3. “It was one of those gorgeous, gigantic, orange and purple maxfield parrish...” though that may have been a reference to the famous illustrator and not a location but I spent the majority of my life in Orleans Parrish. No counties in Louisiana so I thought … Nevermind
  4. Depression + Neurodivergence = Epic teen angst. Very real, Jeff. Well-done. I didn’t need to go to Chapter One to remember these guys. It gets better… hopefully. #itgetsbetter
  5. Teenagers are a lot. Teen boys are a whole lot extra. Spend some quality time getting to know a group of young friends who have a special, mature bond. Jacob is a boy worth saving. Truthfully his redemption arc is, at times, difficult to read yet every word carries its own magic. Kudos @Jeff Burton on a thoughtful, emotion-filled, rather epic story. Turn to Chapter One, dear readers. You’ll love it.
  6. When Chapter Eight published my first thought was I think I’ve read this. When Chapter Nine published I went back to One and started all over this afternoon. A deeply beautiful story of adolescent life and love. Total bonus that it appears, like me, they’re Louisiana boys. Thank you Jeff

    I am inspired to go for a walk. Thank you Parker
  8. Aging and aging gay are two entirely different matters. I have no children to decide where I go when I can’t live alone. From that perspective I’ve found a touch of a cautionary tale in the Window Stories. Plan your exit people. Plan your exit. I am here because I’m a huge fan of @Ronyx and this departure from his norm is a true delight. Why? Love and loss three times. Independence and loss of. Figuring out how to come back from both? And just plain be a triumphant old guy? Meet Phil. Read this.

    Got me too with the dream sequence! I feel bad for Calvin NOT. Beautiful ending to an outrageous court case. Love wins…

    Chapter 65

    Definitely a valid word choice for Calvin

    Bursting with pride over here for that little would be assassin Caleb 💜

    Chapter 16

    Feels like we’re nearing the end of the stories if the window may soon be different. Go home Phil. There’s more life for you to live

    Chapter 5

    Outstanding.

    Chapter 12

    @Ronyx has sling-shot some of us back to the early 80’s. Gay Cancer, GRID, HTLV-type 2, eventually settling on HIV/AIDS. A terrifying and tragic time. I remember taking a suit to donate to a thrift store when I realized I had worn it to more than 50 funerals for my contemporaries. Hoping that Dwight and Phil were sero-divergent. Phil has enough to deal with.

    Cal

    I am usually hesitant to review a story published long-ago but there are two good reasons to add my take: @Sam Wyer is actively sharing his talent here, today, in 2024 and this weekend I fell in love with Cal. Total binge read, I couldn’t put it down. Cal is a hot mess and, remember, I absolutely love him and the characters who fill his orbit. He is hot-headed, foul-mouthed, plus rather naive and innocent when it comes to the wider world. Inexperienced is fair to say. At the same time his life-experience is far from the norm for most young men leaving their teenage years behind. No spoilers from me, just my sincere opinion that this is worthy of every single minute you spend with Cal. Bravo @Sam Wyer! Well done.

    “It’s not like we’re lesbians…” Thankfully I had swallowed my coffee before I read that line! 😂😂😂

    Chapter 9

    Jerk is not the four-lettered word I’d choose for Mark. Kati needs to stop the mum vibe.

    Chapter 8

    Mark was a bit much. Rooting for Cal and Davey!

    Chapter 5

    Cal’s inner monologue is fantastic.

    Chapter 4

    I’m fascinated that, at the time this published, unprotected sex was deemed an issue in the comments. My focus is the consent that happened “tell me if you want me to slow down.” That’s sexy.

    Chapter 2

    Guess I know what my weekend binge is going to be. This chapter certainly hit the accelerator! No car theft pun intended …
  23. I see a branding opportunity here: Fiona’s Cosmic Casserole will take you to the moon and back! So good to read your words @drown, you were missed but good things are worth waiting for💜
