Well, the week went better than I was thinking it would. Rocky needs structure; but then all kids do at that age. Karate or any of the martial arts are great for more than self-defense, of course, that is what they are designed for, but great work outs and helps with balance and all kinds of other things. Rocky seems to be handling his parents death; but that could be masking some trauma that will be set off but something rather unexpected. I hope that someone thinks about getting Rocky some therapy. Excellent chapter, can't wait to see what happens next.

Test of Blood is outstanding; and of course, same for The Kandric Saga but noticed Long Term Hold on it again. Don't know what there is about this type of story; but a ton seem to have holds of some kind or another.

Well, wish Lyoth would get there, he and the Captain Souki need to be reunited. I like Tahil, and like that he is sure enough of himself to introduce himself to Souki, and glad how welcoming Suoki was as well. Can't wait for the music, that always makes things better. Seems like a really interesting place to visit, and glad that returning has been a good thing; sometimes when you go back to some place from your past, it just doesn't live up to the memories. Excellent chapter.

Martin and Bart want all the dirt dished but Vaughn really doesn't know anything yet, and I think yet is the operative word. Plus, since it would affect Dan's job, not sure that he would say much anyway. But glad that Vaughn does have old friends that he stays in contact with. I wonder if Ted was on a scouting mission for Heyward, maybe snooping a little bit into Dan and Vaughn both. Oh, I don't doubt the security system upgrade is real, but was there an alternative reason to follow Dan to the club. Loved this chapter, the writing was exceptionally witty and flowed wonderfully.

Always such interesting selections...

Misery loves company; until you try to prove your misery is greater than someone else's. People that have never served in the military or been around those that have, can't really have any idea what it can be like. I was hoping this would go better; but even with Emmett pushing all his magic out into the room, it did not end well. I am glad that Finley at least tried to help Noah, but it will take much more than one visit to try and establish something that might help them both; plus, might work better without so many people that have no idea what they have been through..

We appreciate the attempt...

So, the family was involved to some as yet unknown degree with the Russian mob; not something that would be healthy to anyone in the long term. I would worry about some of the family money being tied to something not on the up and up; but perhaps Boris fixed that as much as possible before his death. Was the death tied to a mob issue or something else? Being gay in the Russian mafia would not be looked upon with great affection. I like Bass as much as anyone can with the little exposure. I really like Rocky, and personally did not find him full of himself at all; sort of wonder why @drsawzall felt that? He knows what he wants and what he needs from those around him. Probably smart for someone with is family background; and the fact that Bass had to step in with the former tennis coach would easily explain his issues with having someone around him that he doesn't know well being gay. Can't wait to see what happens next.

Hope the surgery with Levie goes well; but you know he would be happy with how the situation with Linda and the others resolved itself. Few things can be as important as the love of ones family; and few things can be more destructive than that loved if turned in the wrong direction. Can't wait to see how this all plays out. Still want the back story on the idiot gunning for the BroDads...

So Greg has his council, but is it ready to help him lead, we can certainly hope so. Much happened and many lives were changed in this chapter; how they plays out, really has yet to be determined. But what an adventure it will be. Can't wait for the next update.

A wonderful adventure that takes us all on an amazing ride. Not sure you could really understand all of the nuances to this story without reading Widderkin first, but that would be a great time and a better adventure as well. In this story, we get to see how power can be manipulated for both good and evil. We see how Corporate reach has truly corrupted the body politic as we know it. But we also see how even that can be subverted when the right people work toward the right results, but even that doesn't promise a victory just a chance to make a better deal. Well written and the story flows well; but the characters are what makes this truly a grand time and adventure. Pull up a seat and get reading.

The PM did a masterful job; but the victory was really Woorawa and the men. Their passion to protect was needs to be preserved is beyond commendable. Nathan is a joy to be around, and I hope he gets to visit the penguins. The men have a job to do; but they also need to focus of getting themselves ready for future in all the many forms that may take. I personally can't wait until the new story post. What a wonderful job you did with this one; and can't wait to see what you do with the next one.

Well, Emmett seems to be more than a little tied up with Dex, and that would clearly explain why Dom is a little cold. That said, this caught be off guard, not in a bad way, just a surprise. Finley has the reflexes and they have stayed sharp. I do hope that he and Noah are able to maybe help each other, but not sure I am going to hold my breath for it to happen. I think we are going to need to stock up on tissues for the next chapter or two.

Let's hope the deprogramming works and Nunta is able to start getting some education; just the basics to start with, but more as she is able to understand what it is she is learning. Alihte probably needs some remedial help as well. Keep the hungry and dumb, and under your thumb. Mama needs to be punished, but doubt it will be coming any time soon.

“Goodness comes from inside us.” Perhaps a truer statement has never been made.

Let's hope that Nunta has enough sense to realize that Lyoth and Stawren are right and that she needs to be as far away from the loser brigade as possible. 200 Billions dead, and the threat that more could be is clear. These idiots need to be taken down as well; but don't think a well thrown punch is going to do it.

He truly will be missed.

Great questions and really great answers.

Oh, so the manny thinks it was not an accident. Was it murder? This chapter opened up a whole lot of questions, and not very many answers. I really like Charles, sounds like he knows Manny well; but he comes across as a good person. CPS really has little say depending on the state if a person is named as a guardian in a will. The person has to be truly totally out of bounds for them to be able to step in and do anything. Of course, what kind of person would leave their child to someone that had that many problems to start with. Honestly, family can be worse than a total stranger sometimes especially if money is involved.

I feel that this chapter was full of information; maybe more than we could even realize. I am glad that Finley came to the club. And I like the fact that he stood up to Mo, I don't like bullies, even those that are subtle about it. Jake is just trying to help his brother, but everyone's experience is different and just because Finley served doesn't mean that they will suddenly bond and understand what the other is going through. Finley has survivor's guilt, and that can in some ways be harder to deal with than losing a limb. Emmet is overcoming his fear a little. What are all of his tattoos for? Glad that Finley is sleeping better. Well done.

They say whatever is old will become new again; and I guess that can prove to be true. I have never found that particular scene to be to my liking but do understand those that like to be watched or like to watch. Glad to see that Vaughn and Dan are finding ways to enjoy being together but pushing the envelope a little bit. Vaughn is showing Dan around the gay landscape into areas that he has never ventured before, and that in and of itself can be exciting. Can't wait to see what happens next.

Lyoth seems to be playing this perfectly; for someone that has been on a starvation diet for so long, egg and hams must seem like manna from heaven. Too many people don't want to have to think or figure out anything for themselves; how else do you explain some of the idiots we end up voting for...

Much like acting, writing comedy never gets as much respect but is harder than hell to do well.

Going to Boullia Bay makes sense; but the loss of life is horrific, especially since as those that were killed had nothing to do with Quigley not fulfilling the contract. These monsters must be stopped.

Not sure that being in a rocked room with that loon is a smart move but okay. Stawren and Lyoth have missed a lot while dealing with something that was not really any of their business, of course, I understand wanting to help others but still. I am glad that Phentrom is staying to watch over Fonith, I don't think she should be alone yet. This group needs to get back together, I don't like them being all spread out.
