What a great theme! The oldest surviving saga of a same-sex couple in history, and yet Gay people know nothing about it due to elitism and rampant gay-erasure on wiki.

Bravo to you for pulling it forward!  

This story is active and consistently being updated.

The story cover represents what was expected for Milo and Sebastian. 

I received this book last week, and you might be interested. All the entries are really well done, and there are so many gems (like the 1906 psychic vampire writer stealing ideas off of a fresh author). Check it out

While I’ll reread this as it is posted here, I recently read it as it was being posted on another site. In contrast to The Green Side which @Mike Arram just finished posting, this story belongs to his historic Crown of Tassilo series.  The happenings in the Crown of Tassilo series are referred to in the modern day Peacher series as historical events. And because both involve the mystical realm of Rothenia, a few characters crossover via the World Beyond.

Among other things we find out how the noxious brew called coffee is introduced to Rothenia [spoiler alert: it wasn’t Starbucks!].  ;–)

As with other stories by Mike, this is highly recommended even though Henry ‘Atvood’ and Ed Cornish, of course, do not appear!

I do a little bit of writing myself but I tend to complete the story. The end is the hardest part you've gotten bored with the characters but you have to soldier on so to speak. the readers deserve an ending. Sorry to say this Comicality, but I don't want to read any more of your stuff becase there isn't an end. Hey you are a gifted writer your plots and character development are great. There are times when you can't stop reading it. But for me I don't want to go through that reading to have it not come to a conclusion.

Hi IEAFMOLD!  Should I be spared, GA will one day have all the stories (bar two) in proper sequence, but in the meantime AD has the most authoritative collection, and the Dude there has taken care to put the Peacher series in the right order.  IOMFATS has the two early stories I've refrained from publishing elsewhere, cos I'm just not happy with them.  BTW Golden Portifor is next up for posting here, with the glitches readers have pointed out all (hopefully) corrected.

I read your stories on crvboy first. Is there a reason why you stopped posting there?
;–)

Since I can see that The Green Side is already posted on crvboy and Awesome Dude, I must have read the story already on crvboy. I can’t recall it from the description above, though. But I will read it when it’s posted here.

Unlike @Danners, I’ll wait until I reread at least the first chapter before I React. Undoubtedly, I’ll love The Green Side, just like I’ve loved all the other stories in the two series set, at least in part, in Rothenia. I keep hoping for new additions.

It is sad - that was my second ending - Zack getting hurt or actually dying - more times than not a teen in that situation - in a nervous breakdown and gay - always hiding the real person - they do it... it is sad - but the fear of being out - is bigger than the survival instinct - probably a lot less today with the more tolerant attitude  - but back in the 50's it was the norm.

If only Brody's or Adam's mom were a school psychologist and took an extra look at Zack and saw the turmoil, the pressure  going on in his head. If only they could reach out and give him the help he so sorely needs; get Zack and his mom out of that apartment while Zack's father is confronted. Hey looks like Zack's dad doesn't work so he should be removed. Then Zack and Brody can go on being boyfriends and after college marry and with a surrogate have a child of their own. Zack demanding it be from Brody's seed with his beautiful loving sensitive way.  I need an ending. It is such a marvelous story; it develops the reader so thoroughly in the pure emotion of Zack, Brody and their friends. But it needs it's ending and please a happy ending. Before everyone is crying at Zack's funeral and Brody reads Zack's notebook to all assembled and Zack's father is found out to be the miserable excuse for a human being that he is. Sadly, that would be the case in real life but this is fiction, make it end happy Comicality. Please!!

It is great story - the plot is outstanding and the characters are really good. Being a steak and potatoes man my only grip is that sometimes the descriptive is a  little excessive and flowery seemly never ending at times. I found myself skipping over it as I became used to the author's style. That said other passages had me riveted to the action - the love scenes were spectacular and the sensitivity of the author jumped off of the page. It seems as if young Zack is in the throes of and emotional breakdown to compound the physical abuse of his father. I was literally 100% depressed to find at the end of chapter 32 (read in 2 days time) that Zack still didn't have the courage  to get the help he needed. PLEASE HURRY AND FINISH IT. 

Will we see your next Flash Fiction submission here sometime in August 2020 (based on the rough average time between postings)?
;–)

Loved the tough English cockney talk - Little Billy is a rascle but so lovable and Chris is sure a big brother type and so level headed. Stories of mistreated boys finding someone to take care of them are so sweet. It'll be good to find out what happens.

You think we should  continue with Devil's Delight or something?

I have enjoyed your collaborations very much!

aditus updated Purgatory.

That Notification sounded sacrilegious somehow. How does one update Purgatory? What changes would you make to an in-between place?

And what would all the Cupids, Devils, and Angels think of all that? It sounds like you and @Timothy M. need to do some consulting and collaborating!
;–)

Yay! A new Charlie Boone tale!

I'm glad you found all of the things you shouldn't say about the story, droughtquake. 😛

But, I'm happier that you're enjoying it - no matter the reasons. Thanks.

It’s my non-spoiler spoiler tease to encourage people to read the story!
;–)

If I say I’m enjoying this story because of the ethical issues it raises, it’ll give people the wrong impression. If I mention that I can identify with Troy being homeless (although he’s living in his van), it’ll make people think that’s all it's about. If I say that I’d never be like Grant moving from wonderful California to icy Vermont, they’ll focus on their dislike of my state. But If I don’t say any of those things, they’ll get the impression that they’ll be meeting characters named Ash and Ember!
;–)

This is the original article. And this is the article that talks about the reprint.

lol, yeah, I was thinking of Peter and Patrick, but of course I mustn't forget Rob and Co. 

We need to prompt you occasionally!

I have every intention of getting back to the twins, but I think I need to focus on my other long story sitting unfinished.

Which of your two long stories are you referring to? We still need to get a little boy on his way to recovery from surgery. But then there’s the guys who have been waiting forever for Prom!
;–)

I guess the change in Status is only you being realistic, but it makes me sad anyway. I hope the Temporary Hold is short and Russell & Evan are able to do their Twin Dance in celebration. It’s distressing that their evil sperm donor is winning at the moment…
:–(

Okay, so now I remember all of those stories from when they were published here. But it’s been a very long time since I read Uninvited Guest. I remembered Gallagher & Martin when they popped up in Naked Calendar, but hadn’t remembered the story that introduced them.
;–)

Thank you for answering all the questions!
