Flew out of Texas to Alabama for the week. Already hate it. LOL. Hope everyone has a great week and a blessed holiday, whichever you are celebrating, or a relaxing time, if you choose to just relax and enjoy the days without celebrating.

Love all of the Quincefield Chronicle stories, all are well written, and character driven. The way the magic, fantasy, and mystery are all interwoven is truly exciting and draws you in immediately. This one is more of a straightforward mystery, but it keeps you wanting more. We get to see some of our favorite characters, and a few new ones. We get a glimpse of some of the influences on Dust, and they really help to round out the character. While not a requirement, you will be better informed of some of the interaction in this story, if you have read the previous ones.

Nice way to end this one. We got most of the answers but not all, and probably never will. We got to see what all our favorites are up to, and got introduced to a few new ones, that might be coming soon? Can't wait to see what happens on this teams next adventure, and yes, they are becoming a team.

I swear for someone that claims to hate drama; Will seems to entrench himself in it at times. @PrivateTim is right, Will would eviscerate anyone that challenged and questioned him to the extent that he does others. I sort of like the idea of Fab and Marie, I mean nothing long term would ever come of it; but they could certainly enjoy each other for a while. Not sure who will be in for the bigger surprise Paolo or Carlo? I think that Kevin is pretty spot on about Finn's reaction to Will. Not really sure that Will can do much to bring him around, unless Finn was willing to go to some counseling to deal with a few issues first.

Just loved so much of this chapter. Louis buying the graphic novels/comics was interesting, and him branching out into something more edgy might be interesting, but don't want him or his work to lose it integrity. Tom and Ian might be unusual, but I could see it working or blowing up spectacularly. I just wouldn't want Ian to get hurt, and I think he could easily; plus, are we even sure what side his toast is buttered on? Tom can be pushy, but I think in some ways that might be good. He can push Louis into getting some things done that really need to be handled. Is Louis really even interested in Charlie, or is it just the lack of other interest? Charlie doesn't seem to reciprocate at all, or is it just me? Well, the lawyer was a bust, but then I think that Louis thought it would be to start with anyway. Can't wait for the next update.

Great chapter, so much going on. Glad that Rick took Adam to meet Martin, I somehow feel that Marting is okay with this and happy. Adam was warmly welcomed by Beth and Tom both; on some level it has to be hard for them, but they both care deeply for Rick and do want what is best for him. Jimmy and Shane are adjusting faster than I would have ever suspected. Thrilled that they were able to get Jarvis's henchman, Gus, and better yet the infamous black book. Henchmen are rarely known for their brains, so not really surprised to find the book uncoded. Casey is going to get his revenge. Can't wait for the Assistant Commissioner to get his. I still think it is really strange that if it is Corcoran, that he stopped killing after Martin, and then trying the next year; then took a hiatus for several years, just to suddenly start again. If he wasn't locked up somewhere for something, I am betting there are other bodies somewhere. Can't wait to see what happens next.

Hilarious take on a truly unique one-night stand. Just delicious.

This is truly hilarious. Well written and two very sexy beast. Definitely deserves a follow up.

It was a great story; I read it after it was brought up last time.

Well, the description of the trip over and down could not be done better than @Summerabbacat, so I leave that to him. Very impressed with how taken Slav's boss is of him, this could really count for something if Slav truly wants to stay in the country. When you travel with people, even family, for more than just two or three days, you really get to know someone, more than living in a home with them. And this may well prove to be an eye opener for all. Audra and Jock have come to the rescue with the idea of their house in town, and it would clearly solve quite a few issues. I do think they need to make sure there is a legal agreement that covers everything. I think this trip will prove interesting. Slav and Rory will be able to just be. Matthew and Irma may find out how really compatible they are. While Gavin and Jason get to explore a few things and see how well they handle them. Communication for all will be very important.

Well, we can all expect it to be Corcoran, and it may well be. He could have changed his appearance fearing that the school would have done the right thing and reported him. Of course, his height and posture might not be changeable, but everything else could be after this length of time. That all said, we cannot jump the gun or we might miss something important. Did he act alone? Was their anyone else involved? Cunningham should have reported this, I will bet that even back when this took place and in Australia; that there was a statute about responsibility to report anything like this, of course, the school board/board of governors were always won't to ignore that. Cunningham is probably a good guy that had his hands tied by those above him. But this will haunt him, the other deaths, if it turns out to be Corcoran. Glad the situation with Casey went as well as it appears. Maybe they can get a few people before the cover up starts. While Adam getting to meet Beth and Tom is important; Rick has to introduce him to Martin. I think this is important to them both.

Thanks for the look at these, some really good ones.

A truly well written memorable tale full of pain and wonder, despair and love. It shares a message that many forget and many more never fully understand; love is to be shared, even in grief and despair. Sharing the love keeps the world brighter and those you shared it with alive even when they are gone.

Love is always meant to be shared, never horded.

Elias finally realized what so few truly do; in holding onto the love of those that have past and giving that love to others, you keep them alive, you keep them living within you. Just beautiful.

Elias has buried the hurt, horror, and pain of losing Adrien; is this really anything more than all of that bursting forth from him, made manifest by his will?

Elias's vision of Adrien in the Wild Hunt pushed him to finish some of the work that Adrien was doing when he died. Is this what the vision was meant to do, push Elias to finish these tasks? Or was it to push Elias to start living again?

Elias lost Adrien, who died saving a child from certain death. Adrien returns with the Wild Hunt but does this passing doom Elias or is it a sign to start living as you never know what life will bring.

Part mystery, part paranormal, with a hopeful dash of romance; put them together and you have Elias. The characters draw you in immediately, but it is the connections that tie them together that truly makes this work so well. We also discover that the need for someone to know the truth can tie a person to an object or place even after death. We also learn that second chances are out there, just be ready to embrace them.

While Asher was starting to get over losing Elias, and yes, it was a loss, he stayed close to town and the museum. He needed to say goodbye in his own way. Rhett appearing, and looking so much like Elias was a shock, but a good one. Asher knows he isn't Elias, but that doesn't mean that he can't feel the pull toward Rhett. An interesting story, but one that needs nothing more.

Perhaps Elias did return, just not as we would have expected him to be.

Asher and Elias shared a distant history. Just as they begin to realize a connection was there, Elias was pulled away; will he be able to return, perhaps only time will tell. Kaelie is a good friend.

Elias C Blakely, well we know who he is, but now we need to know what happened to him. Why is he so tied to the ring? Why did he die so young?

Kaelie is brilliant, I would have never thought about checking out the graveyard for a name, and they know close to their age. The clothes should give a clue on how long ago, but they may not have thought about that. Asher is a good person, but that can come back to bite you from time to time.

Fascinating start to this story, can't wait to see what happens next. I fully believe there is another world just out of our senses, and sometimes that world and ours touch. You will never know what happens when it does, but let's hope that Asher learns something but doesn't suffer from it.
