All were delightful; but Tasty Treats was oh so well done....

This doesn't look good; but I have faith that Fonith will have something up her sleeve.

Oh no, sounds like all hell is breaking lose and just when everything seemed to be running smoothly for this group...

Well, this seems almost to easy. I wonder where the problems will come from; or from whom?

Loved how truly descriptive all of this were; but Fall stood out for me in ways that I can't even put into words clearly. Just really touching and thought provoking.

All were lovely; but Fall was the one that truly spoke to me... Loved it.

Three divergent sections that all actually fit together rather nicely. Made me think and feel in equal measure; and isn't that what poetry is supposed to do?

# 5, # 6, and # 8; truly spoke to me... Loved Secret and Wisdom both; hard to learn and so few really do.

A replay of what makes a person who they are and the times that affect them in ways that they can only know when they look back. Well done...

A look back at our youth, middle age, and a look ahead to what is coming and finally the end. An honest prose that allows us all to remember and look forward to what is coming.

A poignant exploration of what is perhaps the only true love without measure or reason...

Sweet, powerful, but oh so sad to end it. Captured the love of a pet precisely and the pain of losing one. So well done...

Deliciously descriptive and oh so delightful. Loved how each season tied together, but stood alone as well.

What a real delight; and so descriptive; love the change of hair color...

And away we go...

Well, damn, this will put Calvert in a spot, which honestly doesn't bother me, but it will put Granger in one as well, and that does. I am not sure that Granger making this a to do in the House of Lords would be the right thing either, but he will have to have an external pressure that can be brought to bear on the Admiralty to budge them at all. Having the support of the Granger family has been a help to more than one person; but as Granger said, you also inherit their enemies. How much of an enemy are the Chalmers family; they obviously have a reason, that they believe in, but do they have enough support in the navy or elsewhere to really make anything stick? Is there a Chalmers that is higher than Granger; and still serving? Plus, you would think they would not want what happened in the past to be brought back up either. If I remember correctly, Midshipman Chalmers was so unpopular that not one person spoke up for him asking for mercy. Granger will do what he has to do in order to help Calvert; but how much of his precious time, energy, and favors will it take to see results. A most devilish issue you have deduced @Mark Arbour

OMG, talk about the woe is me card being played; JJ has a whole deck of them. LOL. I do think that they are rougher on JJ's friends; but some of that is because JJ, whether he will admit it or not, is more vulnerable than Will. And to some extent they were all right about Alex; who turned out to be a shit. JJ needs to realize that they are doing what they do out of love; or in Brad's case, love with a desire to control at least one of his kids. LOL. JJ needs to realize that he is ever going to be able to get away from his family; and would he really want to if he could? Kris is going to be okay, and so will JJ but he needs to learn how to deal with his family in a more constructive manner. Will hit the main issue with the email as soon as he read it. Taylor is still holding on to everything being all about her and what happened but if she wants to get anywhere with Travis, and she is going to have to have Will's help, I think; she is going to have to realize how her actions effected Travis and not just in the obvious ways. Travis needs to realize that Will is the kind of guy that will always be there for him; but he isn't going to support him in a knee jerk reaction. He is going to do it because it is the right thing to do and because of how much he cares about Travis. Travis needs to grow up some as well. Maybe he needs therapy, or more intense therapy then he is perhaps getting. Love the scenes behind the curtain so to speak at the Olympics. They really do resonate with a hint of reality that just rings ever so true. I wonder what Will, Travis, Marie, and JP will get up to in Athens. Great job, @Mark Arbour; can't wait to see what happens next.

Fonith is not known for her patience. Let's hope that Quigley gets to Zigga in time; not that anything would happen to his family, but still. Quigley and Phentrom seem to have reached an accord. I do hope that he helps remove whatever is in Phentrom that is allowing them to track him.

A delightful brunch with a Queen, what more could you possibly want. Sounds like a good time was had by all. That said, Fonith is getting impatient and I sort of bet that Quigley is as well.

Only time will tell...

Love this genre but one that is rarely explored and when it is; often not done well; but this list has some great stories. I still cry thinking about Gordy Comes Home...

Well damn, this sounds like the scavenger hunt to end all scavenger hunts...

Ah, so the God's have become involved in this tale as well as Kandric's tale. A fight worthy of this series and with some surprising results. I swore that I was not going to follow another one of these stories until it was finished, but this is just too damn good. Let's hope that the healing does all it was meant to; I have a feeling what is coming will be enough that everyone needs to be at their best. Tur is turning out to be someone that not only Adga but all the others can truly count on.

Let's hope that Quigley is not that stupid. Never let your emotions get in the way; but of course, it is his family that he thinks has been taken.

And don't just want to run read it now???
