I really loved this chapter. I am liking the Greg and Len and their issues with Donovan Mitchell. It has really added something to this story. I do think that Greg probably should have had therapy when all of this happened, and he still needs it today. Talking stuff over with Vaughn may help, just getting it out of his head into words would help; but a professional could help him sort more of his thoughts out and get him started in a good direction moving forward. The drawing is just WOW. Worth some money but I fully understand the desire not to sell it. Although, I think it in unison with some others along a similar vein would make a very interesting exhibition, especially if you had some of the models and artist both willing to speak about it. Vaughn and Dante do have such interesting friends and situations in their lives. Adore this more and more as it moves forward.

Oh lord, I do think that Adam and Callum will have some humdinger conversations. The air will be electric, and it will be like watching two great volleyers at the net in tennis. Kai was right to apologize, and Adam was gracious, but they need to have a longer fuller conversation about all of this. Megan and Adam are hilarious together, and so glad that Adam has such great memories of this Nan. Can't wait to see where this goes next, because who the hell knows were that will be.

Interesting questions and answers.

The heart wants and needs to return to the one it loves; making a world in his mind is something Nick can do until he returns to the one he loves and those he knows Really interesting take with this story. Writing was very good, and the characters were truly interesting.

When you are a teenager, you always need a Ben in your life. Few of us ever got one like him, but those that did were the luckiest people alive. Tim and Guy need to do some song that shows how they really feel about each other, talk about a showstopper. Love this, the flow is great, the writing is first rate, and truly love these characters.

What a great story, this had it all. I loved the characters, the writing, the idea behind it, just everything.

Excellent start to the new book and can't wait to see where you go with this one. Have to wonder about the eyes and what they could mean, cool that they can adjust their appearance to some extent. Well, the back pay will be nice, but even with money, do you leave a job or life that you really might love and with Greg taking over, they just might really love it. Yikes, another issue with a child, but if it isn't strictly illegal, in the world of Dracul, can you keep making it so in your little area without causing issues?

It isn't so much the happily ever after; as just not needing another bleak ending to the actual constant new of another tragedy in the gay community. At least he was able to kill two of the kids and the third probably spent most of the rest of his life in jail so some justice. I don't mind this ending as much as I preferred the other. You have to do what is true to yourself and the vision of the story. That said, I just hate when hate wins.

Well, Adam and Kai are both going to have to make some adjustments if they want this to work out. But Kai is the guest in Adam's house, yes, even though Kai grew up in it, it is Adam's house now. So while Adam will have to make some adjustments, more of this will fall on Kai at the moment. Megan is hilarious, Doc is an ass, but I like him anyway. OMG, who has never had something from McDonalds in this country? Even is you aren't a fan, that is a right of passage to some extent when you are young.

Love that song.... Yikes, first time ever I think that I don't know at least one of the words of the week. 🤐 As always, thanks for the round up.

Wonder if this was supposed to be a modern take off spin off of The Secret Garden. Bea's grandfather sound like a truly wonderful person, more than that, a person of uncommon goodness and love. Blue wanted to be gay because he has two dads? Not sure where that was coming from, know several children that have two of the same sex parents and never heard of any of them wanting to be gay just because their parents were, but I guess maybe since he was adopted and we don't know a lot about his background or how old he was when adopted, he might have felt he owed them. That would have been something more to explore. Really interesting short, the writing and pacing were first rate. And the twist at the end was rather unexpected. I could definitely see this as the start of something, have no idea who the author is on this one.

Well, I know that I shouldn't, but I almost feel sorry for Byran, he was sort of a tool, but we don't know why he acted the way he did. And Marc did not even really give him a chance to explain. Of course, if he did, we might not have Marc and Janek and since that is where this is heading, oh well, I just do feel a little sorry for him. So, are the Alexander's like an imperial house kind of situation? I like Jessica, she sort of grows on you, like moss.

Tim was so freaked out, does he really think no one else has any idea? Guy was okay, then Tim's behavior really got him down, but then Tim shows up and he is okay again. Not sure that Ben is as clueless as Tim and Guy think, but we will see. Oh Lord, those were the days, when you had that feeling of total panic, but couldn't help but keep looking, and then trying to decipher every little thing the other person did, said, or looked...

Enjoyed this chapter, but hate that you feel you have to have two endings. While the Rocked to the Core first ending bothered me, I think you need to do what you feel is right for your story. I was glad how this one played out. Life can be hard, but sometimes the best you can say about it is that you survived and did no damage to anyone else.

Oh, what a lovely story, and like Nox being able to hide and not be found, and so many cats can do that even in a small house; Evan will have to hide his feelings for Maison away until it is time for them to be let out. Maison sounds as if he has a great loving family; Maison seems to have a cold and distant one, and they will probably never accept him for who he truly is. Had a friend that went through something similar. His parents kicked him out, and only the fact that almost the whole rest of the family and immediate friends turned on them when they did so, motivated them to let him come back. They never treated him the same after that. Hope these two are able to find the right time in their lives to be truly open and honest with each other.

Janek lacks confidence and that is simply not something that can be fixed nor overcome quickly. Glad they were in a group that worked well together in winning the game and all seemed to get along well. Janek and Marc are both going to have to realize there are going to be comments. Janek has a position that find him under Marc for some training and because of who Marc is, both is going to cause comments. Well, we can look forward to Sunday night, but I still want to know how Bryan is going to react. Marc is lucky to have a friend like Tom.

Going back or even truly looking back is never easy; and what you find is rarely how you remember or what you remember. Keith wanted to look back maybe to close that chapter of his life, but not sure he found out what or how to do that. Maybe Thomas is right, try and find that friend, Tim Green, probably would not be easy, but might be worthwhile. Keith got to share a few things with Thomas, and maybe realized that his dad, while a real ass for the beatings wasn't all bad, but don't seem to really remember any of the good things if there were any. Shame that no one talked about his mother after she was gone, and I guess no one to really try and find out anything from at this point. Sort of sad, although ended with a good meal, but looking back or going back often is rather melancholy.

Not sure that Adam truly understood what he was getting with Kai. With Kai comes family and disruptions to his schedule. Some of it will be delicious, but some will be hard for him to work with. Kai is hot... But Adam is regimented and not in the same way that the military can be. This will take some time for Adam to be accustomed to how Kai's family is and will be; can he adjust, will he truly want to? Lordy, this is going to be interesting...

Hmmm, well you know that water and electricity really don't mix. LOL Nils and Max seem truly interesting, I could see this being a much longer story. Well written, pacing and flow was excellent, and the characters were more than interesting. My very first reaction was kbois but I think not after thinking about it, well we will have to see.

Ah, well Janek got drunk, threw up, and told everyone he liked Marc; not nearly as serious as I was afraid this was. Do wonder how Bryan will take this, I would think not well, but we will see. Tom seems to be very easy going, almost too easy going.

And just when it was going so well.

Well, let's get to it...

I have thrown myself, several small children, and a group of nuns between that damn bus and JJ; so the carnage would be heavy to reach him...

Well, not sure this would even make one of the top ten dinners at Escorial, and I know it isn't top five. That said, what the hell... Sorry, I know it will not be popular, but I don't blame JJ for this or his reaction at all. I hate that he can't reel himself in or be self-aware enough to know that he just really hurt both Will and Brad, but honestly, I truly did not realize until these last few chapters that this was something that he never knew. JJ has been through so many things over the last few years and honestly, the one person that has always been there for him is Will; and he may have truly blown that up. I hope not for good but, yikes. Brad should have had this discussion at some point with him, but once again, honestly when? Kris with JJ and Casey's help, has sort of gotten his equilibrium back, and let's hope he keeps it, because with JJ this is going to be a bumpy ride for a while now. Not sure how Kris will deal with his family about this, but they will have to be dealt with at some point as well. Even with the sexual abuse, breakdown, losing Jeanine and Robbie; JJ has never truly hit bottom because the rest of the family has always cushioned the blows, but this may do it. WOW, can't even see where this one goes right now.

There are days that I truly hate the human race...
