Jock strap sex--I like the sound of that and so did the boys. Colin made up for any concerns. I bet they will have more fun like that. They are finding their own ways of travel and touring and it seems to work so they both can enjoy what they do. It reminds me of traveling in Germany with a friend and we found ways to fit in our own interests in separate ways. They seem to not be interested in tours. Some cities have the easy on , easy off bus rides with guides so a visitor can see sites at their own leisure. Oslo has a similar tour bus operation. I have in the past when cities were safer, used these kind of bus tours in Washington, DC and San Francisco. But, Colin and Owain are just starting touring. They could get better at it with more expereince. They will fnd their own style that works for them.

So Grey is the opener of the ways--you sly fox--the name has a valid meaning

Clara drove them to Eldarwood through the arid high desert. Grey and Mark reconciled to a point they accepted why they had grown apart. They needed new answers now. Their powers had been dampened in the town which was not normal. Reaching the hidden location, they had to cross a barrier . Surprisingly Grey was able to speak in a strange language to the guardians and gain entrance. Eldarwood seemed so different as they walked deeper into it. As described it was a lush, cool redwood like forest with vibrant colors and with tiny houses for the magical inhabitants who could be druids like Clara. Grey thought--"This place felt healthy, and right, and ancient. " Now they are going to talk to Maio , Clara's friend, over homemade soup. Let us hope they find enough good answers. I think it is strange that no mention has been made yet of Beatrice!

Colin and Owain are good for each other. It is important to learn more about Colin and hs feelings.Thank you. Colin is growing out of his family and childhood limits and negative feelings. He likes having a boyfriend and showing him and Mhari and Joe off. He is no longer alone and really enjoys being with with Owain and trying new thngs in small steps. He does have aways to go, but that is not a problem he cannot overcome. Singing in the choir and having a solo part is a positive step. I expect when they move in together there will need to be adjustments, but they have such great affection for each other that things will work out.

I think JJ is a useful contrast to Will, his brother. I do not want him killed. If he is to be done in, I bet your readers can offer ideas. I think getting run over by a bus or hit by a meteor , unless he lingers and suffers may not give the revenge some may want. JJ might get the wrong people in the fashion world too mad and have him kidnapped and turned over to human traffickers.

I wonder which officer Granger will bed first, if he does so? He is only in command for about 2 months. I suspect anyone who wants to be with him will signal their availability. The ship is on patrol and peace is at hand. At the most,the ship may need to handle any smugglers and the King's business on the ship. There might be time for extracurricular fun. Mark will craft any assignations discretely, I expect. Adding to the Austen lore--Jane was raised in a family of 6 boys and two girls. Brothers Francis( Frank) and Charles John ( Charles) served in the Royal Navy and rose to the rank of admiral. BTW--I have read a history of George III at Weymouth-- "The King’s routine varied little from day to day. He usually rose early and bathed in the sea and then spent time riding, walking and sailing.....George loved to sail and frequently went on cruises aboard the warship Southampton often visiting the Isle of Portland." Will he want to see George's home on the Isle of Wight or is it too far away?

With heroic skill and determination Micco and Chase save Burke and Calhoun from a hurricane damaged BIA vehicle. They all reach the animal shelter safely but need to find a place safe from the winds and rain. They surmize Sam and Martina were in on the scam and would share the money. It was likely not planned that Sam be killed. Micco is no longer a suspect but Martina is. What about Danny seeing long ears? Micco is going to move to save the animals and knows they will follow him. The others will go to safety. Where is Martina? Will she go quietly or make a fuss? Is Micco in danger from her as well as the hurricane?

You figured out a plausible way to cut the Gordion Knot. Harry regained hs memory under deep emotional pressure. They reconciled. Stuart kept on wanting him and Harry finally caught up to him. Their love rekindled rightly and honestly. You gave us a fair HEA. Thank you.

Granger is giving temporary command of what he terms the best frigate in the navy. He has found friends and former officers among the crew which is encouraging. He is bringing his doctor, purser and close servants like Winkler. He does not yet know his next orders, but he has been requested by the King eventually to guard his location at sea while his majesty and family in residence at Weymouth. Granger wants to learn about his ship and its men as soon as possible. He is not expecting any problems with his command. I expect he will need to practice diplomacy and be on his best behavior when dealing with the royals. Perhaps, the King will want to visit his ship. His cook can prepare a great meal for him and others, at least, when he visits.

So JJ is going to totally surprise Kris and call him. Kris will realize JJ had to get his number from somewhere and be impressed by the contact so soon after they talked. JJ is not ignoring him and really needs a partnerthe next night . JJ will invite him to go out to the charity banquet, instead of Susannah. She should be livid and may see the handwriting on the wall. I like seeing JJ take charge and not being a victim. It should be interesting to see how JJand Kris get along and if they have more than a one night stand. JJ might see Kris as more fun and a better mate/sex partner than his current one. The bloom of their potential relationship is not off the rose at this point.

They are getting along and enjoying each other and the area. What a pleasant, unstressful, completely different break! Smalll town French life lets them focus on each other and the area. Gosh, what a treat to have fresh bread and croissants. Toby is fitting in and that is no small feat with a teenager who does not have his best bud along. They are spending time out of doors and Toby has a storehouse of knowledge about the flora and fauna. Gordon and Brian are havingh sex and Toby knows it and supports it simply by saying they are putting their feet up. What a nice euphemism! I wonder how Russ with change the dynamic when he arrives? Will he want a family life or want to spend more time in bed? We will see soon.

JJ wad having a pity party until he talked to Will. They are eventually good for each other. JJ needs to separate from Zanie/Susannah.It is in the cards, they will separate.I can see her humiliated and ignored. Without JJ, she will lose her social entre and need another sugar daddy/sugar boy. I can see JJ is going to fuck and date Kris, grandson of a Prussian Prince. They both will have fun for as long as it lasts. After all Kris will find out JJ is very high maintenance along with great benefits. Kris will gain a hot twink along with social credit at parties and maybe pride at his firm with his connection to JJ and his family and also be given much better new clothes.

Connor is taking on the role of the alpha. He is learning and becoming a more benevolent leader. He will see the pack is safe and able to defend itself, but will then go on a pligrimage. He believes he has part of the magic moonstone when broken apart that led ro a curse and has to seek Raigar's help to end the historic curse. He does not know what dangers lie ahead for him as he travels, but they must be many. The largest sanctuary ever built to honor Raigar is in Votu N’Saga. Connor when able will go to this island and pray at a temple to Raigar. There are also thieves and bandits at the entry port. We learned Ellini has been robbed when she landed and was fleeing to prevent her rape. I hope she becomes safe . She has to be terrified. Connor, a powerful werewolf, might protect her when he later arrives. I can feel things slowly connect.

Life is hell for the survivors after Southport fell. The enemy's forces have moved on. Amos is badly injured and slowly recovering with the help of Dagon and a friend, Zara. Ellina has been robbed after being sent to a strange land and forced to run away to save her body and mind.

Grey was chained up by the pack when Mark reported he was going to flee . Silver chains must have been used. He later escaped After Mark arrived at the bar to find Grey , he was eventually tied up in silver chains--chapter 5--by Grey, Dave and Clara Grey,,,"I looked towards Clara. She said, “What kind of establishment do you think I’m running here? Of course, I have chains.” So she got the chains. I dragged Mark out to the porch behind the bar, and we tied him up. I made sure they were secure, so even a shift wouldn’t rattle them lose. Plus, Clara really did have silver chains, so they would hurt if he tried shifting. The woman was full of surprises. Everything today was a surprise, to be honest."

Could the man with all the money and big boss Gideon Keres who was disfigured with a mechaical larynx be the one had set the fire that killed Otis's mother and almost killed him? If he sees Otis, Gideon will want to kill him and/or entrap him to be a sex slave in a snuff effort.

Sorry--Dave and Mark are mixed up at the end. Mark chained Grey up

They should not trust Kastor. I wonder if Valrinda will have to sacrifice himself to stop Kastor so Beckett can get through the portal. Valrinda would be that noble, I bet.

Music opened them up to new experiences. Joe arranged a tasty picnic meal to celebrate his mother's birthday which brought back memories. I heard the same stories about eating up since people overseas were starving and had the same gentle reaction I liked the choir music range and that Colin had a small solo. It did not sound like the quality to be on Britain's Got Talent--that has excellent choirs--but it charmed the audience and gave the members joy/ it seems.Colin is impressive and growing. Owain meeting a person after the persormance from his local scool days was uncomfortable. His nickmane of Piggy stilI fits him. I hope Piggy is an outlier and is soon to be forgotten. A gossip from school days can be a pain

Now, we see why Grey cannot trust Mark. They had a public separation. It rocked Grey to his core. As a packmate, Mark rejected Grey's affections in front of the alpha. Mark told him that he could not be with him as an intimate friend. The pain had to fester for 3 years until Grey escaped Mark would not reveal hidden facts and this tormented Grey. Mark, he felt, was not being honest with him. The trust gap would not be closed when Mark later explained the reasoning for his actions to Grey Moreover. Mark said Grey has responsibilities to the pack which were more inportant than their feelings. Grey could not understand why he was now so dstant in public. He no longer had anyone one to trust. Grey hated his father and was stronger than him. At some point, Grey would feeltruly isolated and know he had to abandon the pack.

drpaladin said--I don't think the shift works this way. From what we've sewn, dragons shift down rather than up. I also doubt fertility is part of the shift package. The true green dragon killed by Xavier and the caravan who is now being sold by Mablin was originally a green dragonling before his shift. He shifted "up"

One suggestion for Xavier--make his kingdom a haven for all drow who will be respected and not looked down upon. This fits his thinking. Drow are facing serious hatred and are easily punished without cause or worry. They might welcome a sanctuary. This scene in the latest chapter shows the low opinion and extreme level of hatred drow face----- -“DROW!” The Halfling exclaimed indignantly as he jumped to his feet. Then, with a grin plastered on his face, Syth pulled off the rest of his desert gear. “YOU’RE JUST A WORTHLESS KID!” When the halfling saw what Syth was wearing, he sneered as he stepped forward, ready to attack.

Taking out the blood clot was not the solution. Harry decided to lie and say he was gay.He wanted Harry's deep friendship and liked their closeness. They had a great history. He decided he could fake passion and desire for Stuart's sake. He intended that they would be a happy couple while he was in the closet as a straight male. " I am convinced that Stuart is aware of the truth, and is willing to accept crumbs for my love and companionship. When I suspected that he knew the truth, my love for him became even deeper." I am uncertain that the two can stay together beyond a year or two. We will see . Stuart, though, is a saint and seems resigned to having less that deep affection from Harry as he had in the past. They will have to contiue overlooking Harry''s having straight sex as he said he would. I guess Harry can hide his straying . They could decide on new boundaries and stay considerate and trusting this way.Adopting kids seems pointless and would add new pressures On a minor point, the doctor did not find a gay causal part of the brain during surgery since Harry's condition did not give him the needed evidence. The reason for Harry's switch is still unknown. What a mystery.

mgl stated "*rubbing hands in glee and shouting "Crossover!" Hey I can always hope. " After getting what is sought at the City of Lucas the Lost, the caravan will likely seek out the entrance to the desert which contains Seandra. Scorpion Falls is the entrance and Adga should be there aiding caravans as Lord Kandahar has ordered him to do.Adga and Xavier might meet . Adga has been magically joined by a hawkling and others from Xavier's time. He will undoubtably overjoyed to meet those who were transported into this future.. Maybe one of the sand dragonling females at some point might be able to shift into a great sand dragon and could be his consort to continue his line. The other female dragonling might be Garnet's consort. Prince Milan will learn about the green dragon capability soon without Lew's help. But, the halfling prisoner brought by Lew might teach him how to shift. At the end of the last Kandric Saga chapter, King Whyrem learned of the shifting ability of green dragons and the danger they faced as hidden in his kingdom. They went after him and his sons. Watch members were present. Kandric will soon arrive to see the King. Kandric and the Garm and Alphar and other dragons the coalition will also learn about green dragons' shifting ability and hiding nature. They will be on the lookout for a green dragon's magical signature and distinctive green eyes.

I like how this story arc offers more potential for the Seandrans and Xavier to grow and move ahead. They are not stuck in a town in an old tower and could soon be on their way to obtain an important magic force to help them create the kingdom Xavier wants. They are kids who are doing their best . Now the camp knows they have dragons in their midst and might soon take them in stride. Mablin and Gradon will have to catch up. Lew's plan to inform and Elder and Prince Millen involves risk and could tie them down if any complications arise. The Prince might be very shocked to learn sand dragons exist and want to find them. It will be hard to follow up and find them, though.Tomorrow will tell what option is chosen. We learned the ride to the town will take one day Maybe you could add another day to find the Elder and get his agreement to come to the camp and one day to reach the caravan. This is three days plus before the Elder is given evidence and may take the halfling. Mablin has already left and said he might be gone 7 days. I hope they do not run into each other and cause confusion or delay the trip to the City of Lucas the Lost. Malichi was being led and guided by a powerful pantherling spirit. He was unaware of the pantherling. Malichi with spirit help crafted a magic infused Drow Soul Steel quartershaft. I believe Drow Soul Steel can be made into a powerful weapon to defeat the undead. Next, Malchi will be directed to forge an Eldwar weapon., probably also magic infused. When finished, I assume it will be obvious who will get what weapon. The weapon will be drawn to its user. I expect these weapons will be useful in the upcoming battles they will face. The caves by Lucas the Lost have undead in them. Many undead may need to be killed to get to the powerful magic connected to Lucas.
