Struggle persisted: bi? Gay? But acceptance grew. The Otters were becoming home now. That end part says it all to me. Paul is very nearly there - the team has accepted him for whatever he is (straight/bi/gay - probably now 10%/30%/60%). It's now up to Paul to do the same and decide to finally become part of the team. Finn will help guide Paul and the rest of the team will be there to support. Great chapter @Soren Kraft

@Soren Kraft - only just caught up on this story and it's brilliant! I think Finn will be able to successfully guide Paul through his struggles with what he is now discovering about himself - that he likes guys (especially Finn) a hell of a lot. Doesn't mean he's cried off the fairer sex but they aren't on his radar at the moment. Paul is definitely wavering and Finn is being so gentle with him and not pressuring Paul into doing anything that he doesn't want to do. The way the rest of the team have been so accepting of Paul after their initial reservations about the new straight guy judging them for who they are is so great to read - I can very easily picture the scenes in my mind. (That ease comes direct from the pen/keyboard of the author).

If he's inherited the best of the Rob genes then he'll be hotter than hot!

Give Tyler a few years and I'm sure he'll be taking part in some action of his own!

If you like hot, raw, powerful man on man action then this story is just for you! Paul - the proverbial Guncle who will do anything for his sister's two kids from getting them hyped up on sugar to taking them shopping for school supplies. Known to Rob as City Boy or Guns! Rob - the stunningly hot Army Dad that fills his shirts to their full extent and leaves nothing to the imagination in the trouser department. Five chapters of unexpected (but extremely horny) encounters in an airport meeting pod, an airplane toilet (first class no less), a closed museum display room, a very posh hotel penthouse bedroom and a supermarket family rest room. Their "final?" meeting at the high school in Flagstaff where Paul is a history teacher and Rob (the father of four boys) has just been posted for three years. Only the author (@Boy Mercury X) knows where he would take the story of Paul & Rob from where this one ends.

Just like P.T. Barnum (or it could have been Walt Disney) said "always leave them wanting more" and our author @Boy Mercury X is a master at doing just that. Though I too wouldn't mind a peek in to the future to see what Paul & Rob do next! Three years is a long time in Flagstaff!!

A lovely story - well done @Boy Mercury X.

Mike thought John had betrayed Laurie but it was the reverse that was true. Then Mike's first experience with a man - John. A change of direction (in story style) for @Boy Mercury X which has left me feeling sad for Mike and for John but oddly not for Laurie!! I'm sure Mike got an A for his paper.

The TV volume swelled, and a banner flashed across the screen. “With 86% of precincts reporting, and key districts just in, we are prepared to project a winner in the most hotly contested gubernatorial race in the nation—” Marc’s grip tightened on my hand and I turned to look at him. The TV light flickered across his face, and for a moment, it was just the two of us, waiting to find out what kind of future we’d fought for. And then they announced. What a cliffhanger @Boy Mercury X! When do we get the next chapter? Pretty please

Great chapter. Harris & Marc certainly both had a great time - I just wonder what Marc is about to tell AJ? Looking forward to reading chapter 2 next.

I'm not sure we do the whole Frat thing at University here in the UK (I stand to be corrected) but if so then I'd loved to have joined the UK branch of this one!

Our author ( @Boy Mercury X) has been doing his research - there is actually a pub called that in Covent Garden. I wonder what will happen between Paul & Rob when they meet there?

Sean & Jeff certainly had a good time. Though once Sean's arm get better I'm sure he'd like to reciprocate the favour back to Jeff. Doubt it will proceed any further after that unless Sean's marriage breaks down.

I'd love to meet Andy & Sean again in another chapter or new story. That artwork is just brilliant.

A great story with a twist in the middle and a hint at a possible HEA at the end. Hope we get to meet Zach & Mark again.

Oh, so that's how! That was fun for both of them - I wonder if a reciprocal visit is on the cards? I certainly hope so!

Wow - no holds barred! I like it - a lot! Can't wait to see where you take Rob & Paul next. (Okay we know where - but how will be the fun bit!)

Florian is nearly ready to tell Sven and I'm sure having Andrew there when he does will make it easier for him. Sven's reaction will help Florian decide what to do next - come out to the rest of the team and his family or stay hidden in the closet. Hopefully @Soren Kraft will give us all the HEA we want!

Jeff (imagine David James Elliott from JAG) - knows something is missing from his life but doesn't know what it is until he meets Jonas, his ski instructor for the next month. Jonas (imagine - really likes older guys and when he meets Jeff he hopes that something more is involved that just teaching him how to ski. Jeff - when still in JAG Jonas - Will they both make the big leap? Read it and find out - you won't be disappointed.

Leaving the readers wanting more is a brilliant way to end this story. What on earth will Marco think when Jeff moves in with Jonas!

All of a sudden I'm very interested in learning how to ski - just so long as I have my own Jonas!

I think Jeff was taking the bigger leap! Just hope he doesn't fall and hurt himself.

The story of Avie, not knowing what/who he really wanted in his life and Steph who knew that what he had (a girlfriend who was leaving for a job on the west coast) was not what he wanted. The catalyst - meeting at the local gym which Avie joined as it was only 2 minutes from his apartment. Starting with the odd glance across the gym equipment, nodding to each other, then chatting next to each other and spotting each other on the heavy stuff. I'll let you read the story (worth a binge read) before I reveal too much more - but I can confirm that there is a HEA!

Short enough to binge read in one go, but long enough to appreciate your writing @Soren Kraft. A great story. Nothing gratuitous (but that works sometimes) but just enough to see it in my mind and feel like I can smell the scents that Avie & Steph both bring. Looking forward to reading more from your imagination.

Andrew is melting the iceberg known as Florian. Will he convince Florian to come out to Sven and maybe the rest of his team? Time will tell. If he does, how will Sven react? Will it be "I knew all the time - I was just waiting for you to tell me" OR "Oh, get away from me, you disgust me"? I definitely prefer option 1!
