This is completely complex and rather brilliant writing. Everyone deserves a friend like Brandon. And every Brandon deserves a Jordan.

A booby trap is despicable. I’m hating Keith’s upper hand.

A real attention getter. I’ll definitely be following along or perhaps I should say watching.

At least you know you’re a monster 😂

That coming out conversation was a dream sequence for gay boys. I’m so happy Brandon was given that gift. Boyfriend ❤️

Don’t let it be intimidating. You do humour well. Allow me a cliche: lean into it.

I’m not puffing when I tell you this is epic. Not an Epic so you know how I’m using the word. Many, many reasons to turn to page one, chapter one. This is total erotica with no sex. There might be some in a flashback and there are so many opportunities but this is a relationship dramadey. Love when love isn’t simple. Love wins…probably. Read on and find out. Food porn. Travel porn. Language porn. Most of it Philippine. I was waiting for Pancit to appear and it showed up on not the menu eventually. Joyful, fast-paced, never boring. Epic. Heed the Author Note at the beginning of each installment, he’s not kidding. I’m certain you will enjoy reading this as much as I did and you have the benefit of the finished book. We’ve been promised more and I’ll be right here waiting for it. Page one is waiting for you. Go!

Bravo!

“You’re not the type…” Ugh.

Very different and very good! When money and healthcare came up together I knew we had to be in the US of A. It’s shameful.

Pretty sure it’s unanimous!

I thought the torch was a nice touch.

Love the Lockhotns. They’re on my refrigerator snipped out of the Sunday paper

Jim sure is his mother’s son. Equally evil.

No problem with submission that is merited. My gluteus muscles are healthier than my knees, FYI. My knees are a bit wrecked. I’d kneel but it would come with explanations and sound effects. Not what you’re thinking my friend when you’re seeking submission. Unlikely I’ll kneel. A squat I can hold… An Author who seeks submission? Hot and very telling… Damien is a himbo, you’ve made that clear from the beginning but he’s developed, you’ve developed him, in the best possible way. He’s in love, yeah? I love him for his love. Albert seems to too. He, Damien, is memorable. Unforgettable. A real live good guy negotiating his own stuff. Albert is less certain. Or so it seems… You have a penchant for difficulty. You’re going to separate them. I’m going to worry about Albert. Damien too. Keep it brief? No suicide ideation? They have each other. Genuine love, yeah? The Danvers? They’ve been idle… With a word I’ll shut up…promise. No response needed but I’ll continue to watch your talent develop. Thank you for sharing… I’ll remove this response on your word. This is your story, not mine.

Really big response here, lotta words. If I’m entirely honest I had two suspects: @Parker Owens and @astone2292. I’m currently stuck on @Wayne Gray writing Armageddon, so … no. Guess I haven’t witnessed his range. Loving his Armageddon. Parker because of the romantic aspect (not pigeonholing ❤️ though it’s your poetry influencing me, Parker) and Aaron, honestly, because of his range as I see it…limitless. Aaron and Parker would be an amazing collaboration. If Aaron can work with @kbois…😂…unlimited… Ruins nothing that the reveal showed me you, @Mikiesboy. What a delightful competition that wasn’t so much a competition but a literary gift to the readers. Congratulations @Libby Drew. I voted for @kbois because she wrecked me. Absolutely wrecked me. You @Libby Drew made me fearful of the future and you have my thanks for that. Nothing wrong with healthy fear. Especially when it’s coupled with unconditional love. I hope I have a steadfast companion if those circumstances arise in my life. Better be my (current) husband… What a wonderful experience this has been. So good to learn more about all of the talented artists here. Thank you! Thanks for asking Mikiesboy. Tim, right?Thanks for asking. I’ll show myself out…

This deserves a ❤️and a wow

The necessary emoji is not available stock. I have to snort 🐽. Good to be with you @Albert1434. Total Laugh Out Loud

This gets better and better and worse and worse at the same time. I have sassed you a lot but your talent for storytelling is undeniable. I love these guys. I’m totally invested in them. In you as well. I love your word play. I’m taken with your word choices. One-of-a-kind. Distinct and unique. As a married widower I would like to shake Albert. I have equal concerns for Damien as a helicopter partner. Tell me more? Oh! Will Candy be back?

Easily corrected. Thank you for pointing it out.

If we knew about Grams so specifically I missed it. Travis was fantastic at the trial and his inner monologue funny, sad and fantastic. A 12 year old with a death sentence. Yikes. Your word play is so sharp: hypotactically speaking / affluenza

I would not even consider missing the ride along with Otis and Hudson!

In a word? Tolerance. A man of a certain age, set in his ways just seems worth noting. Just in case… I also took special note of Kyan’s reference to the age at which he became a father. Not a lot of time for, ahem, youthful experimentation. The only thing I’m sure of at this point is that the devil is in the details. Always is with you @Mrsgnomie, always is.

Looks like Kyan has a terrible idea. Interesting description of Grandpa Jed. ’Old school…country boy…” Might mean nothing at all but it caught my attention.

Here’s hoping Travis doesn’t burn the witness stand down. Quite the attack of alliteration he had there 🤓
