  1. Complicated...as euphemism...or - how to avoid selling your boyfriend's phallus to his uncle! 😁

    Chapter 1

    This is...um ......well, ok...let's just say vampires are not my thing...but this doesn't sound as a usual vampire story...and hot sex top-to-bottom scene in first chapter...ok

    Dead Man's Switch

    I imagine Zane as Daniel Plainview from There Will Be Blood (played by Daniel Day-Lewis) - the same menacing face, the same brutal, ruthless personality, driven by greed and bordering on sociopathy.
  4. Ali is becoming Dr Watson...well, it's elementary!

    Oh, Bill was very smart. He couldn't leave everything to Taggart because that would have been a death sentence. Paradoxically, he trusted Bert more with his grandson's life than he trusted his own son. Because, in this brilliant plan, Taggart's death would ultimately benefit the Nasser Ranch. In a way, long before Taggart ever arrived, Bill had already placed his grandson's life in their hands.

    It wasn't about being gay... it never was. It was about finding an excuse to get rid of the competition. A medieval method, I'd even say worse than Machiavellian, of cruel punishment and exile. Grandfather knew exactly what kind of "man" his son was. His gift to Taggert wasn't land or wealth... it was the security of his life. I really liked the way you described Ash's and Brandford's reaction to Taggert's branding. They didn't let the horror of the violence push them into a sentimental or melodramatic response. Their sympathy isn't for a victim, but for a survivor. Instead of being a brand of shame, the mark on Taggert's body becomes a medal of honor. Beautiful chapter, @Wayne Gray!
  9. A charming, lighthearted, and funny rom-com set in the Merrickville universe, this story delivers the classic best-friends-to-lovers trope with warmth and wit. The humor is delightful, and the characters are wonderfully endearing - even if you'll occasionally want to punch them because of their obliviousness. Told through a series of snapshots from their lives, the story offers a beautiful glimpse into the protagonists' relationship. In just a few scenes, it creates a stronger sense of their connection and the bright future ahead of them than many much longer novels manage to achieve. This is exactly the kind of book you'll want to read on the beach during a holiday. I highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys witty, intelligent, and feel-good romance.

  10. You are a master of transforming villains into quite likable guys... First Tomy in previous story...now Chet..oh, let's not forget Ben!
  11. Though vampires aren't one of my favorite genres, I couldn't not give your story a chance when I saw the first chapter, dear friend. And you haven't disappointed @BendtedWreath! I love the "ugly duckling" vibe of Nos at the beginning. I'm so eager to see his "swan dance" on the first day of his new life!
  12. Yea, what would be @Robert Hugill's story without naked bums?!
  13. Like many others, I really hope August and Fletcher will be able to offer Willy and Runyan a safe haven on their new homestead. August and Fletcher are playing it smart, and I hope Willy and Runyan can do the same. Still, one question remains - how long can this charade last before it falls apart? It's hard to imagine they'll be able to live peacefully and normally forever while constantly looking over their shoulders.
  14. That's the kind of news nobody wants to hear. My thoughts are with @Cia and her family.
  15. The asphalt outside my apartment window had been slowly baking for three straight weeks, radiating a wavy, shimmering heat that smelled faintly of tar and exhaust. I just love your metaphors!
  16. Oh...right. No homo!

    The Trust

    More than the revelations we found out in this chapter, it's the change in Ash and Taggert's dynamic that strikes me the most. For the first time we see Ash feeling insecure, while Taggert takes the initiative and reassure his man, saying exactly the right words at the right moment!
  18. Might be 15th, 16th...but she didn't say the year!
  19. 'No homo' sounds like a magic word for degayfication... 😂
  20. GO WARREN GO GO...
  21. This is the story of the biggest bully in school - the one who terrorizes both teachers and students. "What? Another story about the star athlete bullying the nerd?!" Nope. Nice try. This time, the nerd is the bully - the one holding the entire school hostage with his terrifying intelligence. So who manages to tame him and turn his world upside down? The theater boy, of course. Enjoy this little gem - a perfect summer refreshment straight from Master Christopher's cocktail bar: sweet, light, funny, and impossible not to smile through.
