Not sure if it was audacity or stupidity to try and control the situation when Marc had something planned, let's hope that Amelia has learned her lesson, and this will be the only time it happens. Marc and Adam both realize what is happening, but neither is ready to confront it yet. Mike seems to understand the situation now, and he and Marc both can get what they need from each other, but for how long now that Adam is around might mean this is a short-term connection, even shorter than we thought. This is just getting so good.

What a wonderful first chapter, and what a great gift to have; but I can clearly see where you would have issues with it when people found out.

Marc needs to marinate on the thought of why he is so attracted to Adam Knight. Oh, a corporate merger and a relationship all in one. Marc strikes everyone as his the Alexader reborn. Delicious.

I do think that Grayson's father will need therapy a the very least to try and help him move forward and get past some of his issues. Strange that his father and he had an encounter so close to each other, but with such different intent and outcome. I just hope everyone keeps talking. Raffa was already hot enough, but now, Grayson seems to think he is even more. I have no doubt that Grayson's attacker will try again.

So, Vladimir, Thomas, and Constantine have begun their fight back with the Order of the Blade, and their plan seems to be more involved than just fighting against vampires. What all creatures can Vladimir control? A chapter full of blood and passion.

First a good therapist for Damian. Second, I don't think Hansi has a clue where the money is. Three, I can't believe it, but I do feel a little sorry for Jackie. Four, a divorce as soon as possible. Five, I really want Graham, Ludo and Arthur to have at least one encounter. Six, just love this story.

Oh, will Caroline and George meet at dawn at ten paces in a duel over the Count? Granger is such a delight, two delicious finds and they are both so different and unique, it would be hard to choose which was more delightful, but I will go with the second one. I know everyone assumes that Caroline is barren, but we all better hope that is true. Maybe they could hold a contest to see which guest of Talleyrand can bed the most partners. Just loved this chapter,,,

Remy and Anduin need to have some consideration of each other. Remy escaped and it appears to have been at least a better life than he was leading when he did, but the real Remy died, and Anduin has clearly suffered since then. While none of this was truly Remy's fault, his actions at least guided some of this into being. Remy and Anduin don't view their love of each other in the same way. And they will have to figure out how to get to a place that both of them are okay with how they interact. This just made me sad.

Sounds like Hali and Peter have lived a hard life. Let's hope their situation gets better. How is this area split between freshwater and saltwater, are they on the edge of bay?

I don't know how I missed it??? I think someone added after the fact!!! LOL

I can't wait to see what all of you talented people come up with on this one.

Let's hope that this was that first step to repairing Marc and Caitin's relationship. So, Marc is about to meet the one. Family can be everything, but when they fight, it can get so messy.

Grayson's Dad was sexually abused as a teen by someone with power over him, a boss, and what's worse, it was a job he liked, so losing that or leaving that made it just that much harder for him to deal with. This explains much. Grayson and everyone else should be upfront and honest with the police. While this attach did not get a bad as it could have been, it could easily continue to escalate if something isn't done. So proud of Olly and how he is dealing with all of this, never easy to be the younger brother when something like this happens.

There did not seem to be one wrong move in this chapter. I am so glad that Ralph and Therese have managed to stay friendly, no, maybe even truly friends. Doesn't happen often after a divorce but when there are kids, it does make life so much easier. Do wish that Therese could find someone that she truly liked, but she is right, having two kids isn't something that every guy is looking for, but at least she isn't giving up. Glad that Therese seems to be realizing that the girls are going to be their own people, and no amount of her arguments are going to prevent it. It will be all about compromise. Ralph and Nolan are slowly inching forward, but in this case, I truly think that is for the best. They both have others in their lives that depend on them, and they have to figure out how it all fits together. Love Ralph is giving Ivor the ability to run with the office refit. And think that idea of Ralph and Ivor being prominently displayed on their website isn't a bad idea at all. Can't wait for the get together with Gordon et al, maybe they will all become real friends. Lovely chapter from start to finish, can't wait to see what happens next.

There seems to be some balance to the household, but I don't think it would take much to through it out of sorts. Remy and Anduin seem to be in a neutral mode, let's hope they stay there, but I doubt it. Nice chapter, it moved the story along in a couple of directions.

Well, there are always groups to oppose the night, and we knew they would be coming. They will need others to help them, so turning a few good men makes sense. That said, killing Elena makes no sense at all. Even having the wolves kill her, she is dead, and her death would have repercussions. Would it not have made more sense to " convince " her that there was no danger so that she could argue against the fear of the house being restored. Hate that Vladimir lost Marcus the way he did, but vengeance was his and well deserved. Then at almost the end, we meet Constantine, but what became of him and how will his story play into this one?

Some delicious stories here, so to speak. A little surprised that Engineer Benson by @Wayne Gray didn't make the list, a truly interesting story. Check it out. Love me some zombies and horror in equal measure.

Jeremy needs to get off his ass and make a move; that said, Will and Brad both need to understand how devastated Jeremy was to learn that he really had no biological relationship to any of them and cut him some slack. Yes, both sides are both right and wrong to some extent; and I would like that think that JP would get a little more involved, but I think he understands how volatile the individuals that he would be dealing with are, and until they are a bit more ready, nothing can really be done. Jack is turning into a total ass. Can't wait to see who decides to make a move first. As always, a blessing to see any update from @Mark Arbour

Okay, everything seemed to be going well, then wham, Mike was gone. Marc leading the charge to find those pesky pirates that are causing problems. Mayday may be weak, but they will get there, will it be too late? So good.

Let's hope there are some cameras in the entrance or exit area of the carpark. I mean we know who is behind it, but they will have to have some proof, plus, it could be Tom or even Animal behind it. Raffa and Grayson are doing everything right, but there could be some bumps, just stay honest and open. Grayson's dad is going to have to get some idea of what is going on, too many people know what happened, someone is going to blab. Excellent chapter.

Ludo is trying to move on but do so in a way that protects Damian. Damian is understandably upset; he understands that Jackie is going away but while he is mad at her, she is his mother. Arthur has stood by Ludo in really every way possible. He and Adam are really giving up the most, but I think they are making the right move. I think all four of them probably need some type of therapy and maybe some group therapy as well. Wonderful chapter.

So many great stories...

This just makes me like Alice all the more, but damn, it makes me feel a little bad for Tom. I do wish we knew what happened to Frank.

A lovely story about the selfless nature of some. There is an old proverb about to whom much is given, much is expected, and our protagonist certainly lives up to that.

A remarkable legacy for a remarkable woman, and she truly spent her life helping others. Wonder why she was able to see this one type of disease and no others, obviously, she could never have treated everything but wonder why this was what her ability focused on. The generosity of spirit shown by so many in this story were amazing. Can't wait to see how this will be end with the last story in the saga.
