    Two completely different reactions to the relationship between Aled and Harry, you have to ask why, but I think the answer is difficult to find. Do parents and family usually accept a gay relationship or does such a relationship more often result in rejection? As a side note, @Tris you said you were enraptured, I'm blown away, and very pleased you and a lot of other readers are engaged with and enjoying this story.

    We admire the beautiful things in nature, a magnificent panorama, a superb sunset, and we admire a beautiful male body. We also appreciate the things we create, art, music, etc. You can no more fight nature than hold back the ocean, but there is also the truism that love is blind, meaning we can look beyond, or quite simply not see those many imperfections. Not being perfect is the state of all humanity, whilst we might strive for perfection, we live for love and playing!

    I prefer to label it a fiction, because in a fantasy you can invent any scenario, but here I am aiming for reality, plausible situations which are true to life.

    The sunshine filtered softly through the bedroom curtains, casting a bright swathe of light over the bed. Aled was still fast asleep when Harry got home from his late shift and crawled under the covers, but waking up together in bed that morning felt incredibly nice. Harry snuggled up to Aled, pulling him close, feeling his warm and familiar body, burying his face in Aled’s curls with a contented sigh. But as Aled lay there in the quiet of the morning, a heavy, uncomfortable weight settled

    @Tris really appreciate your comment about the characters being real, and all the comments from @chris191070, @akascrubber, @VBlew, @drsawzall, these comments count a lot for me.

    The move into Callum’s flat felt like a victory, a seamless solution that solved everyone's immediate problems. Aled finally had a proper home, Harry could focus on his exams without worrying about violating his hall of residence rules, and Callum’s rent anxiety vanished. Over the next couple of weeks, a quiet, calm serenity settled into the ambience of the flat. It was a mutual coexistence that brought its own peace, an undeniable harmony, but with a certain piquance. Aled, was rapidly gai

    I think he's a nice guy too... what happens we will see as events impact circumstances!

    "Tonight we could go to the club," Harry suggested as they finished up their morning coffee. "What do you think? A proper night out." Aled smiled, the idea actually sounding brilliant. He finished his shift at the pub at 8:00 PM and had the whole of Sunday off, so the timing fit nicely. By the time they walked through the doors of the Flamingo Rose, the Saturday night crowd was already out in full force. The music was a physical thud in their chests, and the dance floor was a sea of moving

    Do you have a crystal ball? Very astute observation... we will see what happens as events progress!

    They spent the rest of Sunday trying to process the monumental shift in Aled’s life. By late afternoon, the walls of the tiny bedroom started to feel a bit claustrophobic, so Harry suggested they head outside to get some fresh air and clear their heads. They took a long, quiet walk along the ancient Roman walls of Chester. The crisp air helping to steady Aled’s frayed nerves, his hand firmly tucked into Harry’s jacket pocket, interlaced with his fingers. As they walked, Harry’s mind was wor

    I can clear up that point, no she is not, she passed away many years ago leaving only Aled, his two older brothers and his dad.

    The pale, golden light of another Saturday morning crept across the small room, but the atmosphere felt entirely different this time. As they woke, tangled together beneath the duvet, both Harry and Aled felt the immediate, undeniable shift in the air. They had crossed a massive, irreversible threshold. They were no longer just two guys navigating a tentative attraction; they were bound together by an intense, life-altering intimacy. Aled lay flat on his back, staring up at the white ceilin

    I've Got You

    E K Stokes commented on E K Stokes's story chapter in I've Got You

    The comments all revolve to a certain degree around the burgeoning sexual relationship between Harry and Aled. There are, of course, other concerns, family, friends, having a place to live, a job, etc. but the point about Aled experiencing being a top is really a very interesting observation, but isn't it maybe simply an aspect of circumstances, a little like different positions and ways of making love? I have no answer for you other than things develop sexually due to circumstances and, I guess, desires.

    The concept is excellent, this version gives a good idea of how it works to find stories. One major problem is Popular stories. Why? Because if I'm right a story published 10 years ago has a much higher chance of being popular simply because it's been around a long time. To my way of thinking popular is by number of page views in say the last month or three, not page views for the last 10 years. You might want to get trending stories, page views increasing.

    I've Got You

    E K Stokes posted new chapter in The Cwtch.

    Those two weeks crawled by with agonising slowness. For Harry, Chester had transformed from a lively university city into a waiting room. The young Welsh farm boy had taken up permanent residence in his thoughts, disrupting his lectures, his rugby training, and his sleep. Harry was realistic enough to know that a relationship across this kind of cultural and geographical divide wouldn't be easy, but in his privileged, city-bred mind, he didn't really have the measure of exactly how difficult it

    I believe you are all very astute readers who pick up on all the detail in the story. @chris191070 noted, Aled has two different lives, he certainly has started a different life with Harry. @akascrubber made a very shrewd observation, I bet their sexual play will become much more advanced. @Daddydavek noted that the difference in their life situations is a chasm that will be difficult to bridge. And finally @drsawzall commented that I think things for Aled might change faster than one suspects… Clever comments which we will soon see just how true they are as the story develops over the coming chapters...

    The single word "OK" dropped into the damp silence of the basement like a heavy stone. Leo braced himself for a counter-threat, a flash of rage, or the cold calculation Thomas usually used to dominate a room. Instead, the wicked curl of Thomas’ lip softened into an expression that looked dangerously like relief. Thomas wasn't put out because he wasn't being defeated—he was being understood. For years, he had carried the solitary, suffocating burden of his father’s legacy, acting as the sole

    The harsh, neon glare of the Chester nightlife had long faded, replaced by the soft, pale grey of a Sunday morning creeping through the single window. The light spilled across the tiny bedroom, illuminating the cluttered desk, the Yaoi poster, and the narrow bed where the two boys lay tangled together. Harry woke first, his eyes blinking against the dawn. The heavy, protective weight of Aled’s head was resting against his shoulder, a mass of wild, unkempt dark curls pressing into his neck.

    This thread was started with the idea of a sort of contributive story based on a story outline I had started. Since then, I have moved on and abandoned this project, spending my time writing other stories and developing my author skills. Thank you @ArtisticStories, @Eve Hudson, for your input and ideas. The thread/project is now closed for me.

    Should We Sleep?

    Imagine you're 18 and you've never had sex with anyone other than yourself!

    Should We Sleep?

    E K Stokes posted new chapter in The Cwtch.

    As Aled’s tight grip on his own emotions finally collapsed, he buried his face into the crook of Harry's neck, his hands clutching at the fabric of Harry's shirt like a drowning man. Feeling the raw, absolute trust Aled was placing in him, something shifted deeply inside Harry. The loud, confident London boy was entirely gone, replaced by a fierce, protective devotion he had never felt for anyone before. The words slipped out of Harry's mouth before he could even think to stop them, whisper

    Changing the Game

    E K Stokes posted new chapter in Kismet

    Kenny was away navigating the broad waters of Lake Bala on a Welsh adventure holiday, which meant the usual baseline of the complete family was entirely missing from the house. When Leo rang the bell, the afternoon felt wide open, stripped of the watchful eyes that normally tracked their every move. Sam opened the door wearing an oversized t-shirt and mismatched socks, and looking somewhat deflated of his usual theatrical energy. "House to ourselves," he announced, waving Leo inward before
