Well but we can guess only from what we know - and I think we even don't know how exactly Neil died - autopsy report hasn't been released yet. So Neil may have been shot and we wouldn't have known about it... ;-D So we suppose he died some time around his incident with Brad. If it was later, we don't have any clues how to find out. They surely can guess the probable time of his death from the autopsy but it would be at least a-two-hour range, so anybody could go there and kill Neil. Two hours, that's plenty of time for anyone to do it :-)

Well if Robbie had suspicion that Brad was there or just looked back and saw Brad going out from that place... he could do it. Go there to see Neil after meeting Brad, see him drowning in the tub and "help" Neil finish what Brad started. Or they could have a fight, Neil could survive Brad's attack, step out from the tub when Robbie appeared, start to yell at Robbie about what his "lover" did and how he'll sue him and how Brad'll pay for it. Then it just clicked and Robbie finishes it! GREAT! :-D

Well... we all know Stef but - is it a coincidence that he looks for living in two most expensive quarters in Paris? :-D

It's going to be some Hayes, you'll see! :-D the second child will be Hayes and both Brad and Robbie are going to have a godchild. :-D But the father in question is that one of Darius - I thought that was some Iranian student or someone like that. But that could be just a cover. Really interesting theme for speculations, much lighter than who's gonna die or break up. Armand wasn't Iranian, but from the French lower nobility as I remember, Isidore's nephew...

The thing with the shrink in chap. 11 just reminded me of "Pray the gay away". For me "curing" Robbie from fisting is like curing him from being gay... I think that if they make fisting as a matter of expressing love, they shouldn't be analyzed or something, it's just another way of making sex. Although I'm not into it, it doesn't mean I have to despise those who like it. I know that Brad doesn't like it or is not very happy about it but then it's up to two of them to talk about it and find a solution. If they love each other, they should be able to stay together with or without fisting - but without praying it out by some shrink.

well I have another question concerning chapter 10... When JP makes Brad & others to promise not to tell anyone, why the others in the family, for the God's sake, don't ask JP about the results of his tests? They must have known why Roger died, they must have known about JP's tests and they don't ask about the results? I read about Tonto inquiring but I thought they were smart enough to corner JP and ask him directly.

one more thing... NOW it really turns out how happy years were the 70s and the Land Whore story gets into the right light for me as I've never lived in that period

OH MY GOD! So much emotion! Ufff... I need to relieve it somewhere. VERY STRONG chapter, sad, but also full of hope, and definitely preventing the story to stagnate. Yeah and I loved that Biance - Jack joking! :-D

well I don't see that fisting thing the same as the drug addiction... it's just how Robbie also enjoys having sex - and he doesn't need it every time, it's just a form of relaxing, they would do it from time to time. If they are meant to be together they should learn more about mutual understanding as well as safety and cleanliness. I didn't know anything about fisting but I read some articles and it doesn't have to be kinky if you stay clean inside. Because I think what is bothering Brad is that it's gross when he pulls out his fist from Robbie. So if Robbie likes it and Brad doesn't mind to do it, they should find a way to make it pleasurable for both of them - primarily to find out the basic rules about hygiene in this. So I don't see fisting as something a shrink has to deal with, that's the abuse (or sexual abuse) Robbie went through. But this being solved doesn't mean Robbie stopps liking fisting...

I was just wondering what was all the drama around Robbie not being there next morning and at first I thought he went to search for Neil and to "finish" his problem as we are talking about knocking him off... But that's rather JP thing though.

Marvelous choice! Again, I enjoyed listening to the music recommendations just like reading the story!

You said you had started with Be Rad, have you already read the previous volumes? It could be fine to kill off some time waiting for another chapters ;-) Edit 2.0: well, you talking about Jeff 2.0 suggests you've already read them, so never mind... you have to wait as any of us ;-)

just a small note about chap. 6 and Brad/Robbie: I've seen a roller coaster like this before... can't wait for chaps 7 & 8, even though I might not like them... ;-)

well yeah... but is it only my impression that there were only like three "images" in this piece? I don't want to be ungrateful but we're used to more voluminous chapters. Measured with Mark's previous speed and amount of the chapters we wait longer for much shorter chapters, or better said with less action going on there... I mean it doesn't have to be a mortal pace in the story but almost nothing has happenned and even the erotic parts were somewhat without juice or passion. Something has happenned? Is Mark at the crossroads with this story? When the Brad/Robbie/Neil story has its own tempo, we could get some more information about others - Max and Lark, Claire and Jake, Ace and boobs :-D, Stef and Greg or JP and Roger, whatever or whoever... So in short: Why it takes so long now to publish a chapter? (I read the process of editing of a chapter, still I have a suspicion that the chapters are published in a put-up periodicity) Why they seem much shorter? P.

well... who wrote about fisting? :-) Can we join "his" group? ;-) Just need to change the person being fisted...

But Stefan and Greg are quite stable couple, where is the reason for them to be infected? They're together since 70s and I think it was claimed they were both faithful... On the other hand, Peter Gordon had already been announced... Marc Sievres is likely to be other one. But I must admit I don't want any of the main characters to die so I am not very reasonable in my judgements :-)

well either Neil or Robbie (and Robbie is top in this couple...) could be into BDSM but doesn't that imply some bruises or other marks from binding or other stuff like that? But what could make Robbie be so devoted to Neil? Something that primarily satisfies his desires... Probably something that Brad couldn't find out during their relationship - I can't imagine Neil giving Robbie a rough f**k :-D And how about that thing when Robbie wanted other people to join them for sex? Some swingers party? No, Neil is too possessive of Robbie, he couldn't share him with anyone else.
