    Chapter 1

    I've been "away" for a while (too bad it wasn't "among the fairies" as the saying goes) and this is the first GA offering since my return. It's wonderful to be back. Hopefully this time I'll be able to stay a while. Great story, by the way!

    I couldn't have put it any better myself. Childhood!

    Not Emily in Paris

    This is a delight! But who, pray tell, was Emily? And, do I have to return to the City of Light to find "my" Matteo? Time is running out LOL

    Chapter 3

    I'd been thinking exactly the same thing.

    Full Story

    Astounding. I shouldn't be surprised, given who authored this tale. So much here calls to be read and re-read over again. I'm not certain I have the courage so to do, not because the story is somehow fragile and might not "survive" the retelling, but because there is a perfection in the first encounter with certain texts. Besides, if I come back to these "pages," I'm not sure I will be the same person, much as one never steps into the same River twice. Indeed, I will have been changed by my first reading. "Astounding is indeed the word that comes to mind. Thanks @D.K. Daniels.
  6. Oh, no! I guess I was a Late Bloomer...

    I think I'm gonna love this one!

    Preface

    I have a predisposition to the concept of Alternate Histories, so I'm very much looking forward to sinking my teeth into this. Lead on!

    That only adds to your charm 🙂

    Chapter 1

    Three years and counting for me at this point. We didn't even exchange names, but we were both clearly filled with regret that we never got beyond "see ya 'round" ... I'm still kicking myself. I can be my own worst enemy sometimes. I guess life imitates art - far too often.

    Chapter 1

    What a delightful slice of life. I feel privileged to have been allowed to eavesdrop for one brief shining moment - unless there's more...
  13. I guess I haven't ever handled "disgusting" terribly well. It ranks, for me, "up there" with Cruelty.
  14. Very, very rarely have I used the Angry emoticon. But this episode was hideous. I was subjected to a few abusive incidents in my day, but this stands out as much worse than anything I endured. Maybe I was a bit "sheltered," but it was still heinous.

    Chapter 16

    Thanks for the clarification LOL

    Chapter 16

    But @Summerabbacat, why don't you tell us how you REALLY feel LOL
  17. Once again, @ChromedOutCortex is proving to be a master of his craft. My heart can't help but break a little with Adam's.

    Chapter 16

    This is scarey. I see so much of myself in this story - maybe it's a "me" who no longer exists (it was So Long Ago) but looking back on it all, I was Awful. I guess I kinda grew up ... eventually. Took too long, I'm afraid. Frankly, it was inexcusable. Of course, I will keep reading to see if my life imitated @LittleBuddhaTW's art.
  19. I am virtually speechless. While this story feels so alien, I'm sticking with it because 1) @Jeff Burton is compelling, and 2) somehow I'm drawn to Elijah.

    Chapter 15

    And so do the rest of us. But did I know whom to choose when I was that age? Obviously not (alas!)

    Chapter 8

    And more than a hand is involved - hurrah!

    Chapter 8

    The mind boggles, reels, and falls. But, can Love conquer the Anachronismic Curse?

    Chapter 10

    He still is *blush*

    Chapter 10

    How come I sense that Lust is in the Air??!? And what's with all the biblical names??!?

    Chapter 7

    I'm not sure either could relate to the likes of disco - but I might have to try and hide such thoughts from @Summerabbacat
