“Who can be wise, amazed, temperate and furious, / Loyal and neutral, in a moment? No man.” — William Shakespeare @CasualWanderer82 in his new masterpiece brings the story of (Un)holy trinity – Father, Son and Stepbrother! Connected by love and loyalty, anger and frustration, future and past… these three men start dangerous journey of no return! At the end of this journey, each one of them will not be the same man. Magnificently hiding motives and feelings of the protagonists at the beginning of the story, author slowly, chapter by chapter reveals who they really are and what is the purpose of Men Up game. As in many of @CasualWanderer82's stories, his characters are strongly sexual beings. They express their feelings – love, anger, sadness, confusion, resignation…with sexual intercourse. Therefore, sex can be passionate, sensual, tender, wild, kinky … both physical and metaphysical. With elements of erotic fantasy, psychological thriller, darkness and criminal; coming of age and self-search; love and even family story with relations which might be twisted in real life, but in @CasualWanderer82's story they have perfect sense – we can say that author build his own, unique genre. If you are looking for romantic love story, you are at the wrong place but, if you are ready to be shaken from head to toes, to analyze every move or word, to enjoy something you wouldn't in your real life, extremely exciting forbidden fruit – than don’t miss this masterpiece!

In a way, that lullaby symbolize the full circle - from father to lover, from lover to brother, from brother to lover again and from lover to father finally! Wonderful! 🙂

He's total wuss, but I agree, being wuss is not a crime!

From his grandpa, of course ... With much better personality and human qualities than dirty old Philpott!

The Lust Supper! Except, you are not Leonardo @CasualWanderer82 - you are Michelangelo! 😉

It was never running to escape; it was running to buy some time! Running on Empty! The slow motion of the beginning of the chapter, dissect the scene frame by frame, showing the tension and revelation in a way that only @CasualWanderer82 can write it. What a table turning in hotel room. Many times, during the story, I’ve seen parallel between Caleb and Pawn. Pawn started a new game in ‘Kingdom of Man’ while Caleb, in all his glory and transformation brings Man Up game to a 3rd and final level, becoming ‘a temple’ of love for his brothers. He is teasing Nate with love, not cruelty, inviting him slowly to the boys’ embrace. The whole scene is mirroring reflection of the first chapter scene, with reversed roles and changed dynamics (yes, you did it again our dear @CasualWanderer82). If Man Up game had to start with wake-up call, in form of cruel and raw sexual explosion, it ends with firework of love. In one of the strongest and most passionate scenes, you’ve found the answer to the ultimate equation of their relationship – fission and fusion together in double penetration of the boy who finally becomes the family! The scene that took my breath away! When Ryan brought Caleb’s book on a road trip that was the most beautiful expression of love. In this chapter Nate makes such expression with words: "No matter what happens...." He paused briefly as if searching for the right words or perhaps gathering the courage to say them aloud. "You're my family. You always have been." The one who started this game, made his final move. Loyalty means sacrifice. There was never future for Nate and boys, it was all about preparing boys for the time without him. In epilogue, we see a new Caleb. OMG, he would have been such a badass mafia boss…wait a minute, it doesn’t mean he isn’t! In his magnificent endings, @CasualWanderer82 always leaves a space for readers to make their own scenarios of the future. This new Caleb, in my scenario, couldn’t leave Nate’s death unrevenged…could he?!

It's 1 AM (CET)! Too late (early) to calm my emotions and collect my thoughts... I'm leaving my comment and Review later...now... MY DEEPEST RESPECT DEAR @CasualWanderer82! ANOTHER MASTERPIECE!

I always hoped for some redemption for John but after this chapter, I don't care anymore. He has made his own bed and all he did was out of his cowardness or selfishness. I cannot believe I'll write this, but that's how I feel - it is sad that Daniel is dead, and John is alive! Luckily for John, there is so much love in his children (not thanx to him and his wife) that he might get the embrace and comfort he is desperately needing! Dr Robert Fenton?! 🤔 "Learn to be honest with yourself and the world around you,” I hope he will because this might be his last chance.

Btw, I've found this hilarious!!! 😂🤣🤣 It has never occurred to me to listen 'smut audio'!!! I can only imagine monotone, boring woman voice telling all those naughtiness of two man f*cking...

Amazing interview @JJQuinn, I'm so glad you've found your place as GA author. This community is something special! So many ideas and plans ... that's the spirit girl, bravo! 'Swimming' is charming story but @JJQuinn's real gem and masterpiece is Finding Home: Halos and Heroes, Bk 1 - Fiction - Gay Authors I recommend it wholeheartedly!!!

Bravo Gael, one sparkling moment with Alex was enough to raise your self-confidence. You should love and respect yourself more! As for the Carlos ... “You’re acting like I’m the villain here,”! No honey, you are the Saint Carlos the Wonderworker! 😜

Horny HOUDINI...LOL 🤣😂😂 Oh Maxy... who's Runaway Bride now?! Our Max is afraid...so, it's not just 'Measure for Measure' thing, it's runaway thing. But Sam is right - Roman is not Sam, he'll wait! He'll be pissed and wait! 😂 (although situation with 'money for uber' reminds me of Lucas and Noah's 'situation' in Studs, Spurs, and Stephanotis). I love the idea of Ben - the matchmaker (educated by telenovela watching) ... it is going to be interesting when complete family involves in Cupid's business! Max working as a good doctor for poor is amazing. I thought the friend officer coming to help would be officer Whelan, instead, you've introduced us to new characters! Now, let's see how will organic pancake mix work tomorrow morning...

You are so right @drsawzall. It hasn't crossed my mind until I saw your comment but - knowing Jonah's legal status in N. Carolina might be dangerous weapon in Victor's hands!

Yes, you're right ... it's not that they are organizing Bacchanalia!

@CassieQ, I just LOVE your short stories! Well, I could understand Patric's dilemma, insecurity ... even selfishness and youth recklessness. Even hiding the truth and trying to be manipulative ... What I cannot understand is lack of any empathy, not for his lover, but for his best friend at the end. He was immensely cruel with all what he said, which indicates not just selfishness or stupidity, but some serious symptoms of narcissism. Eventually, the worst thing for me was that Patrick didn't apologize... he didn't say "I'm sorry".

New shifters story! Wolf out of his pack and natural surrounding... well, this will be interesting!

So much alcohol that I'm surprised this story takes place in USA. It looks like it is happening here in Europe! 😂 Well, it's maybe part of rich children decadency lifestyle ... Jonah is naive if he thinks addictions can just go away. It's a lifelong process and Will might have crises on that road. I hope Jonah will be a good friend and support when (if) it happens. I like the banter between siblings. Jonah has really become integral part of his new family. Sometimes, our memories of the past can be seen through the pink glasses. His mother might have been supportive but, idea that he would go to prom with James in N. Carolina is not realistic! Prom has been a wining night for Kildare's! They win it all! Btw, Jonah should stop crying in public! Never show your emotions, enemies are watching!

This might not be what Gael wanted to hear, but Mia sounds as the most reasonable and down to earth person in this story yet! She knew what was going on between Gael and Carlos, she didn't make a scandal over it, she didn't report them to her husband. All she asks now is everyone to take their own responsibility! Are they going to be responsible...or Gael will run away with Carlos on motorbike minutes before the ceremony... Let's see.

What a table-turning for Lucas and Neil since the beginning of the story. Once at the edge of suicide, Neil is getting family support he couldn't even imagine before. Lucas is, on the other hand, condemned to be locked with predator. As life is full of irony, I wouldn't be surprised that Nail takes some role in saving Lucas!

Sure, there is but, as many other @vanalas' characters, he has to mature, grow up (both in his head and 'down there') and apologize a lot...

A closeted good guy might be a closeted monogamous guy too!

A single phone call from Prosecutor, makes Roger Cicero, a famous mafia defender, involve in a case of murder. Case of murder becomes a case of self-defense... evolving into case of domestic violence and child abuse! After that, nothing was ever the same for Roger and his friends. A global network of pedophilia and boys trafficking is reveled and the war against the evil starts. @empath is building his own world of superheroes. Unlike the Marvel universe, Lincoln universe superheroes are real people, good people ready to fight the evil. They are military man, police, prosecutors, lawyers, judges, FBA, local militia, border control, even mafia members...all united to save enslaved and tortured boys. And boys of course - the unwanted children as author call them in the story, survivors and little heroes that have captured readers' heart forever! Emotional scenes are followed by the scenes of action...and all over again. Suspense and tension in one moment are replaced with tears of joy and hope in another. Unique characters, each with his own life story, each the potential protagonist of a new @empath's tale! This epic story is a magnificent gift to the GA site. It is a must read, although, to all emotional readers, I have to put a 'clinex' warning!

Naked, or not naked, that is the question! Yes, it always comes back to master Shakespeare! I'm wandering, their need to discuss this issue around with friends - is it some sort of therapy for them?! 😜
