Laughed so hard when they started up in the elevator that I thought I was going to piss myself. I just knew Alex would pop out and he did. Love that he baked a cake. Really impressed that Karl and Wilhelm took this as well as they did. Can't wait for the next time Ed is sober and they have another conversation... WOW

Alex believes it may be a dream; Ed thinks it was real; but was it really? LOL. Sometimes the physical is the easiest way to connect. Connecting on an emotional or intellectual level is much harder. Ed said it had been a long time; how long is a long time?

Okay, color me pissed. First when is Kavan going to just follow orders? Sometimes you have the luxury of a discussion but not always. And what the hell took Caspian and Konstantin so long... Konstantin had to tell Caspian but they should have realized how quickly they needed to respond. And why would Gideon make an attack like this without sufficient numbers to do the job. This was definitely not a three man job, or four if you count Kavan. Why did the knife turn green and vibrate? We need to learn more about some of these weapons of India. Why was Kavan the only one that could save Gideon? Why was Gideon so reluctant to take Kavan's blood; and then why did it taste so good; and who the hell did Kavan feed on? So good but so many questions.

Well, dammit. I just knew the fight was going to be with Zach; but I completely understand Travis standing up for Sierra and wailing on Craddock. Craddock was an ass on several levels and finding out that he was spying on him probably helped to motivate Travis in the fight as well. Craddock may have lost more than he realizes with this episode. I so love that Will was willing and able to jump in and be ready to defend Travis. That said, Travis needs to stand on his own and start doing so on a more regular basis So glad that Will went to see his therapist. I think several really good points were made; and I hope that Will takes his advice to end things fully with Zach in a public place. I know that Will can and always make sure that Zach has a certain level of support; but any romantic relationship must be over between them. Great job, can't wait to see what happens next.

Let's hope James finds a job soon or at least another place to crash. Few things can ruin a friendship faster than a situation like Cat and James have found themselves in. Baldy/Gloomy is just someone that likes to spread doom and gloom; that said, doesn't mean he is wrong. Cat is finding her way, with Alfie's help, she may be more prepared than most when she comes out of training. Can't wait to see what happens next.

Truly despise the father; and we haven't even really met him. I am glad that Ed chose to wait, smarter than the average bear. Alex needs to realize that Ed is damaged, his past makes him unsure of not only himself but his interactions with others. He may be attracted to Alex but won't just act on it. I can see a whole lot of pathways this could go down; not all of them ending in a good place. Staying more than interested.

Cat has made a move that will change her life; for the good or the bad may yet to be decided. Can you imagine how exciting it is to start something that had a pull that you may not even be able to explain. So excited that she is getting this opportunity but hope she realizes the slog she is in for. Alfie is a good guy; but knows that he is nearing the end of his career. His language then was considered just out of stop; but today he would be hounded out. Are we sure progress is a good thing? So enjoying this.

And who exactly answered the door at the old home of Alex? I am glad that Ed was still looking because I have a feeling that Alex will not be staying there either. Ed knows that he needs help; but can't seem to find the motivation to help himself or seek help for his issues; maybe having to take care of another person would help him do so. Of course, it could just push him totally over the edge.

Okay, Alex needs to get in better shape if he has that much trouble doing nine floors at his age; but he only had gone about half way when he encountered Ed. Ed needs to stop drinking. The right time of year being in a stairwell in New York City and you could easily freeze to death. Really liking this story.

God Lord, Eddy? Alex seems to take one step forward and two steps back. I am glad that Ed decided to keep the kitten, wonder who Lilly was? The names that people give to some pets are often very important. Good writing and the flow has been very good.

So a first job of sorts; one worth being trained for even if not the main part of his new vocation. Gideon intrigues me; there is something on just the edges of his persona but haven't quite figured it out yet. Love that Rylan was who the India's knife was meant for; it was truly meaningful on more than one level. Hope he realizes that he is truly blessed to have it. Kavan needs to understand his reaction to Gideon; it may prove to be very important at some point.

Loved this chapter; and Alfie was right, Cat has the bug. The people that I have known that worked in a cinema; that really made a career out of it, either were truly enamored with it or liked the hours for one reason or another. All of these characters are just so well developed, even the secondary ones are really good. Can't wait to see where this one goes next.

Really, I came back from Thanksgiving weekend for this??? Okay, I want to hunt Zach down and really hurt him; Will can stand up for himself, and I am sure that Travis can to some extent, but not physically. I did just for a moment wonder if Travis and his father got in a physical altercation, but really can't see that happening. I want to see how Will handles his feelings and actions as he comes to grip with what happened. Love how Will and Stef interact and really thought that Miranda Buck was more interesting than I remember.

Starting to wonder if Alex has a death wish; or does he simply see through Ed's layers of armor better than most. Honestly, pets are great for someone that has issues like what it appears Ed has; although a young animal isn't always the best choice. Really like how this story is progressing; can't wait to see what happens next.

I just really love this story; great update. So sad how many of the great old cinemas just deteriorated and were torn down. Two of the newer places built in Austin are very reminiscent of old time places. Love going to both of them. Some films just demand to be seen on a big screen. I am glad that Bill is has the right attitude; and the forethought to try and prepare himself for what might be coming. So many just refuse to do so and the day it happens just crushes them.

I don't care how fu%&ed up Ed's life is; you just don't do that to a child or a teenager either one; you just don't.

Kavan is going to have to learn to think and understand how others view his words before opening his mouth in this world; or he will not survive. I do love how much Kavan is able to annoy Gideon; but can't quite figure out why? I don't think being another shadow melder would be enough to do it; as I am sure that Gideon is beyond good at it already. Is Gideon attracted in some way to Kavan, there does appear to be some sexual tension there, but that doesn't always equal attraction. Caspian just got a whole lot more interesting, not that he was boring to begin with but... So he still has his family grimoire and his mother's jewels. How powerful is he truly? And what is his endgame with the spells? Did Konstantin tell Caspian that shadow melder; but is he aware that Kavan is also a shadow dancer? Did Caspian just sense Kavan's ability, and if so why could he not tell that he was also a shadow dancer? Wonderful chapter, but more more more and faster faster faster... LOL

Will the Love Guru; I hope they get t-shirts printed... This was funny and sad both. Will made Travis realize that sex and the steps leading up to it can be fun and there are a lot of options; you just have to be open to them and open with the other person. Sad because while Will has several people in his life that would do anything for him or to protect him; Travis seems to have no one, except maybe Will in his like that. Personally, I think Will should have filmed the scene in the special room; and left Brad a copy. This fashion show is starting to look like something that everyone will need to be on their toes for. Dinner with Stef and Miranda Buck will certainly be more than interesting. Wonderful chapter...

So a little background on both of their situations; but honestly more questions than answer... A meeting is about to occur, will it be fortuitous or not; that we will see. Flowed really well.

Just a feeling of melancholy and what might have been, some of the old cinemas could have been saved if there had been money to update them and repair some of the issues. Cat will be back in the cinema; she might have to work at a more glossy, less atmospheric place, but she will be back in the business. So well written and this one flowed paticularly well.

A really interesting start to this story; and we already have some idea of why Ed feels like he does. So many of those that have seen combat have come home with scars that do not show. They must find the courage to ask for help to deal with them; and the unfortunate rate of suicide by former members of the US armed forces is alarmingly high. Already want to see what happens next...

I so agree with @SnowBear, Elvira deserved a more intricate and painful death for her stupidity if nothing else. Kavan and Katherine are going to have to find an accommodation if Konstantin is going to thrive and grow; not only in his new position, but his relationship with both of them. Splitting his focus will hurt not just him but both of themselves. Doc is just the best sire... LOL... Nathan is in good hands. Ryland may be in for more of a bumpy ride. Gideon likes Kavan? I so did not see that coming. Excellent chapter, can't wait for the next update.

This is a well written story and truly flows beautifully. It is multi layered and complex in many ways but really can be broken down into what we are willing to do for family; and who is considered family. The feelings generated by this story are truly all over the place; from extreme happiness to gut wrenching sorrow. But they all add to the story and how we view this wonderful characters. The characters are so well created and developed. Even the secondary characters are very well done; and you will soon find those special ones that you can't wait to see pop up from time to time. @kboisis truly a gifted writer and I am sure a delightful person; but that said she must learn to embrace the true knowledge that Cats are a superior species that are designed to be worshipped and admired by one and all....

You, @kbois, are an evil bitch, positively feline in nature... And I love it. What a perfect way to end this story in this remarkable saga. Cassiel is doing what he can; and I do hope the fey allowed the deployment of the dryads and pixies; what a delicious surprise for any forces that Huntington sends in. Sebastian truly is a good Alpha, he does truly care. Love how this time as allowed Elijah and Ashton as well as Tyler and Austin to bond more fully. They have had time to really get to know one another without the mating bond overwhelming everything else. And then that ending; a cure, and all that entails. Why was Caleb involved in that, did he have a background in something that would aid that progress? Truly a wonderful story, now get off your ass and stop resting on your laurels and start the next book in the saga.... And that was said with all the love and affection that is possible.

What a truly delightful chapter. The interplay between Will and Travis is one that only comes about with old friends; and yes, you can have old friends at that age. They have been in each other's lives for so long and there are just all of those little moments that only they share, we got a view of a couple of them. Are they destined to be together, who knows; at their age they should be enjoying life and figuring out where they want they want from it. I think it is very telling how the mention of Zach effects them both in much the same way. I think they both are helping each other understand where Travis is in Zach's life and where Will was in Zach's life. Hopefully, soon neither will be in it in any meaningful way. So glad that Kevin is doing better; and so appreciative of how well Travis handled everything, it could have been awkward. I always thought Cody and Kevin were good together. Glad that the new cocktail is working for Kevin, finding the right one can literally be a lifesaver. Glad that Travis did nor freak out about the conversation the four had at the end. Cody is right, finding someone that takes their time makes all the difference in the world when bottoming. Not everyone enjoys it; but until someone takes the time to show you how good it can be, you will never know for sure. Can't wait for the next update, just so well done @Mark Arbour.
