Thank you There are still some surprises to come so I hope you're still speaking to me at the end

I suffer from foot in mouth syndrome, so who am I to judge That's given me food for thought. We're going to be utterly confusing anyone who reads these comments because I've taken out the expletives in the chapter you mentioned. One of these days I'm going to have to overhaul this story and I'll definitely keep what you've said in mind. Unfortunately, I'm not a grandmother. I have a 27 year old daughter but she's not caving to pressure so far

Sometimes tsunamis aren't such a bad thing. They level the land to rebuild, clear away all the of the writing in the sand and leaving a blank page to write new. Of course there/s usually a lot of debris to clear up first but the boys are strong.

Connor came from nowhere. I don't plan my stories. They come as they come and Connor suddenly popped up and I ran with him. I hadn't expected to write an Irish character and I heartached over how 'Irish' to make the dialogue I dind't want people to have to translate. Then when I found out what a bad boy he was ~I thought he wasn't good enough for my Isaac. I think he comes through in the end though I quite fell for him myself.

Don't drown. I wouldn't want to be responsible for that

You're welcome

I thought about that and decided that 1. He's rejecting the community and everything they stood for and 2. he's spent time in prison among people who were using this kind of language all the time. I think he might be using it almost as a reaction against his upbringing. He's struggling with the 'real world' outside the commuity. He can't understand the rules. I think his use of fuck would be a kick back. It's the only one he can do right now. I hear what you say about it jarring though and I don't want that so I'll take it out.

No point writing just for the sake of it

I don't think Isaac came to terms with being gay. Being brought up in such a controlling and 'moral' community he hasn't really had any sexual experiences or thought about them. He's been isolating himself for years. He doesn't have any resistance to it as such. He's been just enough of a rebel all his life to be able to accept this without being overly concerned about how others take it. The worse thing that could have happened to him - being expelled from the community and being sent to prison for something he didn't do - has already happened so realizing and accepting he's gay isn't that hard, although he still has a way to go for full acceptance and integration

I'm glad you made it through I'm very honoured that not only are you taking time to write but saying such nice things. All of us writers are greedy for reviews. You've no idea how much it brightened my gloomy, rainy day, to read your reviews

The suffering will end, one way or another Very soon.

Thank you. I'm blushing now

I'm so excited that you're excited to read my words. I like to torture my characters but I rarely kill them. Note - rarely

Hmm... Romance? With Ruth? Maybe The focus of that chapter, for me, was Jayden And don't forget Isaac isn't really from the 'real' world, he's been brought up in a bubble almost

Don't forget to breathe Rick is a real treasure and I don't know what would have happened to Isaac if he hadn't met him. If he'd been given one of those psychiatrists whose arses are stuck to their seats he would have been totally screwed

That's what it's all about. What's the point in writing if you don't make a good read. The reader, after all, is the most important person in an author's life (writing life at least )

Thank you. That was an amazing complement. I'm sorry that Isaac's suffering resonates with something you've experienced yourself but very glad you're still enjoying the story regradless

Since I first posted this story, GA had a complete overhaul. All the reviews were lost I'm really happy you've given Isaac and me some fresh support and I've even happier that you like my story

Tell me about it! I certainly wouldn't want to take on the job

I think Ari will find a way of letting the boys know how he did. And as for the next chapter. It may be the last...unless it can't quite bring the story to an...erm...climax

“This is crazy,” Pasha said. “It’s unreal. I feel stoned stupid. Are you sure you didn’t put acid in our drinks?” Ari laughed. “No, no acid, just…magic, maybe? I’ll leave you to look around.” “What do you mean ‘look around’? There’s nothing here.” “Really? Try walking in a little further.” Uzzy moved forward but Gabri’el pulled him back. “Wait here.” Gabri’el strode to the centre of the room, then turned slowly. His eyes were wide and the glittering rainbow energy was swirling in them. “Wha

I LOVED this. It got me misty-eyed. I hate Kei's parents with a passion, especially his father. I want to get a fireplace poker extremely hot--like molten lava hot--and shove it up his dad's ass. >.> And the doctor! Can't he get in trouble for disclosing that info about his patient to somebody NOT listed as the decision-maker (can't think of what it's called xD power of attorney maybe?), and then not telling Alex? Even if they are his parents, they aren't the ones with the legal power. Alex is. So I have to ask: Is the nurse's name Shirley or Sheila? Because you used both names for her. (Unless I'm confused and they are two different nurses?) I should have chosen two more discrete names They are different nurses. In the ICU there are three nursing shifts on a 24 hour rotation so there will be at least 3 different nurses with Kei through each day. The doctor will get into trouble and Alex or Kei could sue the hospital for his actions. He's one of those insufferable arses who are impressed by power and his own importance. I would have Alex sue but that would be boring and if the doctor behaved himself it would take a lot of drama from the story which would be tragic wouldn't it Thank you so much for your continued support

I quite agree about karma but have also to say, I don't give a rat's arse for Kei's parents and once their part is played I have no interest in what happens to them. I think that ultimately their punishment will be that one way or another they will completely lose their son.

I like Mark even more now. He reminds me a bit of me and even more of my ex. Wow did we have good times together. Mark's a really cool guy and it's great that he's not making any excuses or apologies for his past. I wonder where he's gone. I'm hoping for some drama, but you know what I'm like. I particularly enjoyed that chapter. I hate the tabloids. They're all the same on one way or another.
