I can't see Dana re-entering the picture until the Fall. I think she's a schemer. She'll probably contact him from time to time over the summer, and let him forget what a bitch she was.
I wonder if Tony is even there yet; I don't think so. He's in the realization stage of things. I'm betting his slut phase is still to come.
I thought the dinner blow-up was pretty big. Will's reaction against someone else controlling him seemed to be the thing that sparked his explosion with Brad, combined with that controlling person (Brad) being the most important person in the world to him. I'm not seeing these bullshit issues (in comparison) pushing him to the crazy level.
I think that's where Will is right now. If you think about it, he didn't really offer Tony a monogamous, committed relationship. He just told him it wasn't possible. Maybe that's what Tony needs: a committed relationship with another guy.

I woke up and felt my stomach churning, along with my bladder. Most of my body wanted me to stay in bed, but I knew I had to head up to the bathroom, like it or not. I looked over at Tony’s sleeping bag and it was empty, which did nothing to improve my mood.
It took me a few minutes to dig out my toiletry bag and find a towel, but I finally got my shit together and stumbled out of the tent. They were making breakfast: I could smell it, and I could see
Alright, here's the deal. So basically Adam Phillips and I made Jeremy our bitch, and that means nobody gets to pick on him except us. And Sharon, because everyone's afraid of her. And maybe Jwolf, because Jeremy's got a major hardon for that dude. :-) But that's it. So back off. (SMILE)
Thank you so much! There hasn't been as much history lately, as, quite frankly, this was a somewhat boring period of time. I've chosen to use that to develop the characters more. Hopefully that works out in the end. I have to say that having a mother-daughter team reading my gay story is awesome!
You? Not a Tony fan? What a surprise! :-)
I think Tony's problems with his homosexuality (or accepting it, more to the point) are less about what his family or his friends think and more about his own internal demons about it.
I think that Granger would best be served by getting to Bacchante before she reaches England, but if he reached England first, that may be enough, assuming that gives the government time to intercept Maidstone before he lands. Jervis is still in command in the Med, but his Mediterranean Fleet is based in Lisbon (and Gibraltar) since the British expulsion from that Sea.
The pirates will always be after Granger. Always. He took their ruby.
Too funny.
Yes yes yes, I know some of you are hoping that Vulture engages Santa Clarita and manages to fire a single shot from her 9 pounder which serendipitously decapitates Calvert. Spoiler: That doesn't happen. :-)
Incidentally, I have just posted Chapter 43, and I have two more chapter in editing, so there is some new material in the pipeline. You can relax for a couple of weeks.
March 1798
“My lord, a footman just informed me that His Excellency will be dining within the hour,” Winkler whined as he roused Granger from his nap. “Surely you’re not planning to go down and eat again? The last trip all but wore you out.”
“Indeed I am,” Granger said to him resolutely. “I have to explain our plans. And even if you are so concerned for my health that you would have me wait to divulge them, I guarantee you that the other gentleme
