The more I read of this story, the more I like it.

I had a "Joey" once. In a way, I still do, though we now live on separate continents. I'd like to think I was better behaved than Will, but something tells me that, well, I could have behaved better than I did. In a way, I'm surprised that my Joey still puts up with me - but it's easy at this distance. In any case, I'm looking forward to more 🙂

Will Love conquer all? What would that even mean in this desperate confusion?
-
Oddly, a few things are beginning to make an increasing amount of sense to me. Was I dense before? Maybe I wasn't paying full attention? My idea of who are bad guys and who are good guys is increasingly confused. If this is purposeful on the part of @ThePhallocrat, hats off to him! There are still a number of Mysteries to my feeble mind: Why does Joren believe he is not a good man? How has Calder come to suffer his fate? Whence cometh Mouse / Ammon? Will the entitled and immature Prince finally grow up? Will the Gods save him and Kent? The mind boggles! Intriguing tale, this is!

I am in complete and utter agreement with the sentiments of @peter rietbergen! What a HOOT! -
Chapter 11 - Ties that Bind

It simply takes more energy than it is worth -
Great song, but I'd prefer Charles Boyer to the guy in Cyndi's video.

Why am I not surprised LOL. I don't recall this particular ABBA offering from my university days - and I don't recall ever having seen many of the pictures, especially at the beginning of the video, when they were just kids. Thanks @Summerabbacat for giving us a soundtrack to a fav author of mine, @Mark Ponyboy Peters, whom I have "known" since my days of haunting Awesomedude.

Wasn't Ms. Minogue on a Dr. Who series, serving cocktails on the intergalactic Titanic or some such? David Tennant was involved, was he not? We now have David in the States with an American accent on Grace point or something like that. Sorry to be wandering off, but I find David so much more, um, compelling than Kylie. In any case it's good to "see" you again @Summerabbacat !

A man can only do so much in the time allotted to him. Choices need to be made, and one can only hope that Michael and David are keeping their eyes on the Prize, however they would define it.
-
I think that good man was there all along. He lost his way, but he always had The Right Stuff. Now he's found it.
-
In an odd way, talking to Andre first would be a logical step for Michael to take due to a third party (David) having seen the picture of Michael kissing him. That would be tantamount to Andre being outted, though we don't know whether Andre was already out-and-proud. In any case, out of courtesy Michael should tell him, no matter how "complicated" it all is.
-
Yes, I know Michael messed up royally. But even as I was reading about his entanglements and downfall, I was not entirely unsympathetic to his plight. I am happy to start reading about how he manages subsequent to his colossal failings. Very few of us are beyond redemption. Let's see if he can pull a rabbit out of his hat.

@ChromedOutCortex, you are a Master of your craft.

I'm always stunned by the capacity of some to harbor hatred, especially for ones they supposedly love. So sad. -

Definitely! -
Had to laugh - I did the same. That first summer home was not very comfortable. My Dad got monosyllabics from me, my mother a bit more, but not much. By the second summer, I made sure to make alternative arrangements, going overseas (those were the days of grants and scholarships galore!). Even Christmas was difficult - when I didn't go to the midnight service on Christmas Eve, my parents knew that things had changed, though in the end I never gave up on the Church.

Chapter 6 - Close Encounters
Tris commented on ChromedOutCortex's story chapter in Chapter 6 - Close Encounters
Don't I know it! Most of it is water under the bridge in my own case, but it's interesting how "life imitates art" in so many instances. As a naive Only Child from a small Midwestern town, I was incredibly immature. University was quite a growing experience, virtually all for the Good. Actually, I had forgotten a lot of the angst, but @ChromedOutCortex brought so much of it back to remembrance. I'm amazed I survived it all, and even more amazed that I'm still friends with so many of them - including One Who Got Away. -

Although my college days are LONG behind me, this has brought all sorts of memories roaring back. Nicely done! -

Profoundly moving. Amazingly so. -
Chapter 1 - High School Confidential
Tris commented on ChromedOutCortex's story chapter in Chapter 1 - High School Confidential
Oh, I sure can relate. I didn't do too well coping in high school. And I had no Tony - not till years later. The path is not always easy. At least my "sunny disposition" and a healthy sense of humor worked to my advantage. They still do 🙂 -
An amazing tale. Sobering, to be sure! I'll even admit to seeing bits of me scattered here and there. Kudos to the Author @ChromedOutCortex

Michael is definitely his mother's son, eh?
