    Chapter 4

    Simply delightful.

    Chapter 2

    Really well done. Amidst so many nearly similar tales something new, another perspective.
  3. At last: feelings that are not simply sex-driven. A good, even necessary chapter.

    Deception.

    Jake. Alright. But besides that one glance in the bus, A and he haven't met yet. So what?

    Chapter 8

    It is not that "they" do not realize, et cetera. The question is: van we a cept fhs the author really thinks "we" can accept that they do not realize, et cetera....

    Chapter 2

    Is Merrickville the location of another twelve labous of Hercules? Will Tabby be a present-day Orpheus? Will the idyll continue?

    Chapter 3

    The idyll continues. It is sweet and tender, between those two. Of course A will stay. But will the idyll?

    Chapter 1

    Cozy, or hard, of both...A quirky idyll. Let's hope there's no serpent in this whimsical community.
  9. I must confess I've read this diagonally, simply to discover the few sentences A speaks to reveal his long- standing feelings (though, admittedly I wonder why he cannot be more open about them) and L's still rather inept reactions. Does one really need an orgasm to have an epiphany about one's feelings for someone else?
  10. The reality of people's inability/unwillingness to accept "the Other" is devastating.
  11. Some interesting psychological developments, and their consequences.

    Chapter 5

    It is not exactly unexpected, is it? The relationships with the girls never were convincing. So let's get the boys together.
  13. Whether R returns or not, he has learned a lot Perhaps one if the most important lessons one needs to learn if one truly wants to embrace inclusivity?

    Chapter 22

    GOOD HEAVENS. You do HATE that man - he of the coombed-back hair and the too-long tie - as much as I do. Actually, as much as millions - and growing - all over the world now do. If ever I had a fervent, though totally un-Christian New Year's wish it is now, and would be... For what else can one wish for a beast that already has the blood of tens of thousands of innocent people on his hands ...
  15. The homely and the scary. Nice.
  16. I wonder if I'll have the courage....

    Chapter 1

    Sad, for the fate, indeed: the life of these two, who exemplify far too many people in the so-called civilized and prosperous West. Happy, for them, for at least this one day they can accept, and experience their love without pain.

    Chapter 1

    Who says this isn't the Perfect Christmas Dinner? Friend together, one can't have anything better.
  19. Two interesting developments. Even: more interesting: the (over?) interpretations of many co-readers. I'd love to read the story that would result if these, somehow, were put together in an "alternative" tale....
  20. In my humble opinion Sky's "epiphany" is the most important part of this chapter - perhaps even of his growing-up....

    Chapter 1

    Carter's War, and anchors that refuse to be lifted....

    Prologue

    Yes. But yet: NO. Forgive me, TL. I do not like cars. Neither do I like this exercise in "two perfect boys with lots of money behind them".
  23. Already I know how much I'll hate to see these two brave men break apart. You shouldn't do that to them, to us.
  24. peter rietbergen

    Prologue

    The sadness compels me to read on, to fulfil a need to know: why, how?

    Chapter 1

    This is the perfect Christmas Story. I'll definitely start an annual tradition and read it together with the Dickens one.
