Dante made every effort with his neutral expression. Mistress Alice had not told him why he should dress for town after lunch, and he had not asked. He was silent even as she steered the car down the driveway of the Horner farm. The house itself had already been torn down, and now the basement was being repaired, but this occupied only part of the floor plan, and seeing the huge space all but empty knotted Dante's stomach. How must Matthew feel then? He was just standing at the edge of the

Seems like a possibility. Maybe not directly connected, but in some way or another? Through some technique used? Or some experiments? We will have to wait and see, but I do promise answers concerning Kellen's past. (Though not next chapter 😅 we're not moving that fast.)

Atlas loves what he's doing - the police work - and he loves to be a druid, but he's not a fan of advertising his magic. He wants to help people. (And enjoy life.) There might still be some question marks about her, but the ending of the last chapter might have shown us a soft spot for Damien... Well as Damien's former team leader, he needs to know a bit more than the simple yes-sir-sayer. Maybe he's willing to share. Maybe he can point in some direction 🤷‍♂️

Atlas is far more difficult to write than I thought, and far more bratty at that 😅 On me too! Another one of those "let's see where this goes" characters, but I got some inspiration from a friend for her backstory so she's taking shape. We need to see how those things turn out. Maybe knowing that there is someone like Kellen to support him (even if not in a magical sense) helps already. Yeah, I would say you are right on that, so focus is something Kellen will have to fight for as well. This - well mostly Damien and what he stands for - is not easy on him. Right? Something's pretty fishy!

~Kellen~ The door hadn't even closed behind Nora and Damien yet when Atlas snorted, sounding both incredulous and annoyed to Kellen. Then Kellen caught his eye. “Seriously?” The young druid pointed at the door. “You just throw that at our feet and then let him go? And what's this anti-magic stuff anyway? What kind of things did he tell you under the shield, and what was that all about yesterday?” This moment, this conversation, had to happen sooner or later, and Kellen was a li

And it's totally Remy to not only feel sad or upset, but also guilty, because Anduin is still his brother. And it's totally Remy to think he's selfish just because he wants a hot shower and some quiet time for himself. Marc's inner struggle hasn't reached its peak yet... Let's wait and find out The kiss-scene was one I was honestly waiting for after I realized/decided that Marc will be the active LI (and not Keira as in my original plans, god I don't like this girl). ❤️

Remy had just put away his purchases in his room and was on his way downstairs when Pierre met him. He looked somehow exhausted. "I hope your time out in the fresh air was pleasant," he said. "The way you put it, it sounds like very unpleasant air in here," Remy returned with a raised brow, and Pierre sighed. "Oh, well. Mistress Ellen did talk to Cain, but Marc went at him anyway. And Flavius later told me he was just able to keep Marc and Anduin from going at each other." "G

I love to write those little chapters which have barely anything to do with the main plot, but are mostly decoration and exploration of characters and lore. ❤️ And especially those four have a great, if sometimes strange, dynamic together. On that note, I promise you, that no matter what, Saywer will be taken care of and Tom and Saywer will always stay close.

It was really a mystery to Tom how grown men could have fun beating up cartoon characters with other cartoon characters. On the other hand, this way he didn't have to bother with those same men. It wasn't long ago that he would have plopped down on the couch with them, playing along and making it clear with many small and sometimes not very subtle gestures and remarks what rank he held. Apart from the fact that he no longer was of that rank, in the meantime everything in him resisted joining the

I think telling his parents was the best thing Frank could have done in that moment. First of all, because it's expected from a child. Second, like this Carolyn and Blaise protect him from whatever consequences or bad will (from Britney or whoever) could come at him. I mean, he could have stayed completely silent, but then there might have gotten accusations thrown around and that wouldn't have helped in the already tense situation at all. There are two Another Time chapters from Blaise's POV waiting for you... And I have to say, the really harmless one is probably the more creepy one... *evil author laugh* (Sorry. I love/hate Blaise from my comfy office chair.) As Alice mentioned, maybe Britney terminates the pregancy. It's hard to say how much she truly loves/cares about Jessy, but she can't be that blind to not see how this not-father/stepfather Ethan mess effected Jessy. And, well, now she doesn't have a slave around to jump at her simplest whims and Carolyn won't buy her just like that another one. We will see, what comes out of that, I guess... Sounds great. Your words in the ear of God. Or the Great Mother. Or whatever other deity might listen.

A scream ripped through the silence of the early morning. Dante, hand outstretched to open the door to the workshop, paused. "What was that?" Sawyer asked uneasily. "Who was that?" Frank corrected. Excited voices wafted closer and then someone yelled for Blaise and Mistress Carolyn. "Sounds like Jonah," Tom remarked. "I thought Jonah wouldn't be so easily rattled," Dante interjected, then followed Tom, who went off to check on the problem. "No.", Tom returned a

One of the few things I dislike about living in southern italy compared to germany are the roaches. From March to October they are everywhere and it's soooo disgusting. Dante's sharing my trauma. Yeah not my favorite concept. I like the taste, but I will not buy them, I just eat them when they are there anyway, at family lunches or the like. Strange, but somehow still a match. I'm still amazed how that turned out, with Sawyer being some whim-invention and Tom starting as a classic bully who even I couldn't stand at some point... But now that those ugly secrets are out of the way, they can be honest and honesty is a big trust-boost. There will be some more! 😃

Tom handed Sawyer and Dante each a bottle of the sweet beer they both liked so much, and made himself comfortable in the armchair with a bottle of ordinary beer. Blaise and Carolyn had been generous of late, and Sawyer and Dante had realized that the two-seater was somehow better for two people than the damn armchair. In the background, the others were playing one of those silly car races. Tom sipped his beer and smiled into the bottle as he watched Sawyer, who was holding his own bott

I'm working on an idea for a second chapter

Does it need to? It's just some funny banter between friends 🤷‍♂️

You should have seen me in med school. Class clown par excellence. Even if only to hide my own insecurities... Ugh. Worst thing we had to pick apart in school was butterflies. (I'm not commenting on my med school times.) You would be very welcome! Not an impossibility. There is definitely inspiration for more.

"Hey, hey... what are you reading?" Sandy raised her eyes when Frank pricked her in the arm to get her attention. "Stuff. Good morning, sweetie." She smiled at him as sweet as honey. "Morning. Come on, what are you reading?" "Just tell him." Bastien, leaning against the wall next to her, yawned. "Or else he'll be on your balls- and ours- all day long." "Right." Luke yawned, too, while their classmates, who were waiting with them for permission to go to the chemist

Two friends in High School doing what friends usually do: discussing porn, masturbation, preferences and experiences.

Blaise enforcing the "we need all helping hands" to keep Dante around? Some positive feedback for Carolyn surely doesn't hurt and he might well have done so. Could well be. Seeing how his and Tom's relationship is starting to fall apart... Ain't that true...

Ongoing theme here. We will have to wait and see, but given that both Dante and Frank can have quite the temper... yeah. Them breaking up (if you can call it that) would probably be a nasty moment. Interesting question. Honestly, with everyone believing it was Henry's uncle who caused the accident, Blaise might just go with the flow and arrange his own memories to this assumption as to not drown in guilt. There will be a couple of Another Time chapters from Blaise's POV but let me tell you, he's hard to write. I think Tom is mostly trying to protect Sawyer, who is a lot more sensitive than everyone else around. Although, Tom might just as well protect everyone involved, because what Sawyer doesn't know, he can't blurt out. Our dear ADHD-ridden friend is not big in thinking before talking. Well normally I'm not a big fan of bashing the antagonists before their time, but in this case it might actually help (without completely destroying the whole plot^^).

Dante was probably not even up the basement stairs when Sawyer felt already decidedly lost. Which was in no small part due to the fact that Frank's broad figure almost menacingly filled the frame of the kitchen door. "Sawyer..." Frank addressed him hesitantly, and that hesitation managed to make his name sound like a caricature of Dante's drawl. "You're going to be working with Tom, Dante and me indefinitely starting tomorrow." Blinking in puzzlement, Sawyer looked at Frank. "But I'm n

And moreover, it's a lot of time for a lot of things to happen... We will see how much determination or even opportunities our beloved demigod has... ❤️ (and it will get worse...)

Alice might understand, but even if, I don't think she would contradict her mother on taking Dante with her instead of leaving him home to work. Because I really can't imagine Carolyn understanding the matter. Or changing her mind on that. I can't safely answer that at this point 😃 The change from nice guy to fatherfigure to absolute creep was drastic, huh? But he is still my favorite antagonist I ever wrote. We will get an Another Time chapter for that next Yeah. But she doesn't seem keen on actually making those decisions... ❤️

"You drink tea?" Sawyer smiled wryly and shook his head before dumping the tea bag into the cup. "Freddie's got a stomachache. Would you like some?" Now Dante shook his head. "Thanks, I'll pass on stomach tea. Where's Tom?" He wanted to tell them both about Frank's decision and talk to Tom again about the extent to which 'keep Sawyer out of it' could still be implemented with this. "You've been looking for Tom quite a bit lately. Should I be worried?" Sawyer asked back with a misc

Let's see what we get to hear about that. So somewhat an extended version of what Damien was thinking, nice, I like it! We have to hope that not. Either because he can keep himself in check, or Kellen can help him, or he doesn't get all that much triggered... I guess we have to wait and see, but yeah, either she's a good actress or really just the doormat for those two detectives... He didn't get much "screentime" so far, but to be honest, he's harder to write than I expected Might simply be the excited spark of a scientist discovering a new theory to explore that's drawing him away from boring living humans 😅
