OMG, Sorgbarn, you don't know how happy I was to see that you viewed my profile!!!!! Omg, I saw that it was your birthday a few days ago and I didn't know what to think; I was so sad. I am so, so happy that you're back on here!!!!

It's been a pretty rough year, but at least I'm still here to enjoy it. Nothing like a close encounter with death to make you forget about growing old and appreciate even the tiniest things in life - the wind in your hair, the sun in your face, the sound of a kid's laughter. Life truly is great! And I'm glad to have made you happy! :-D

I see their dilemma, or maybe it's mostly Asher's - he's afraid to get emotionally invested only to have his heart broken if/when Michael decides he'd rather be with a woman - and it's understandable. It also makes me want to know what the statistics say; is it less likely for a relationship where one is bi and the other is gay/lesbian/straight to last longterm? Are bi-people more fickle do you think? Or is it worse to be left for a person of the opposite sex? Because I never got around to comment on the last chapter, I can say I'm glad Michael's back. It's probably the tension and and all those possibilities for misunderstandings between them that contributes to that ... and the possibilities for sex of course ;-p They are just so much more entertaining together than on their own. And you're letting Michael play the romance card a lot in this chapter, is he honest or is he saying what he's been brought up believing his partners want to hear? I do hope he is honest, but I don't expect matters to settle too smoothly. And then there's the upcoming legal matters with the shooting and trial, sounds like Asher has his hands full.

Thought I'd just leave a comment before the next chapter will be up. I actually read this last week, Tuesday, but I've been too tired to comment anything during the week. I must say I missed Michael in this chapter - I think he's my favorite character so far-, and I'm amused at the bad timing Asher is having with his sex life, be it on his own or with a partner. If this keeps up I'm expecting him to be caught in the act not too soon into the future. As for the computer problems, I've always told my students to save their works in at least three different places/media that way something really remarkable has to happen in order for them to lose it all at once, but who listens to teachers?! And as for the porn - maybe you just need different computers for different uses?!

Hugs! Hugs! and more Hugs! (If you ever need more let me know cause I have a stockpile!!)

In January I told my six-year old I would be around for a long, long time. Now ... all bets are off.

Oh no, I've caught up! What am I going to do now? Do you have any idea how much time I have to kill in this darn hospital room of mine? You have to write faster! And I guess I'm not the only one that was caught up in this chapter, Michael was too - with his past. Poor kid! first an absent father, then a dead father and the responsibility for his mother and his twin siblings at that. It sounds tough enough to push an adult over the edge, not to mention a twelve year old. It definitely explains a lot of the anger he is feeling - I can only imagine what a mixed set of emotions he must have for his father, and then the less than perfect situation at his workplace ... yep, he's got a whole lot of baggage to work with. But I've got to say I've liked Michael most of the time despite his flaws and without the knowledge of his past. In fact I think I like him more than Asher, just because Asher is more likable, but also because I feel at times Asher should act more grown-up because he ought to be more in-touch with his feelings, and not the least with whom he is, while Michel is far behind in that compartment. I think that difference may cause trouble in the future - they are just not on the same page ... yet. Well, I guess I have to wait ... ... I'm still waiting. Have you written anything yet?

How old were these guys now again? They are walking into this (with Michael taking care of Asher and the two of them entering some kind of relationship) like kids, both equally unaware of what it will come to mean to them or what complications might appear. Taking care of someone ill is not an easy job, and even more difficult when you don't know each other. for two apparently grown men I get the feeling they are stupidly naive at this moment - och I get it, they have to be in order for the story to work - and I do like it. It reminds me of some of the classical fandom tropes (and yes, I know that is probably seen upon as an abomination, to compare original fiction with fanfiction!!!) hurt/comfort to begin with (it's also an old classic within straight romance, where the heroine gets to take care of the hero). Will Michael really be sleeping on the sofa? Both Asher and Micahel have changed over the last couple of chapters, and I'm not sure it's for their better. Yeah, Michael has accepted there's something between them, but maybe he should confront himself and what he is doing and why before he moves on. As should Asher - who really should know better! He's acting like a schoolgirl with a crush, all caution, all wisdom gone! I'm so looking forward to all the upcoming conflict these two will run into. I'm really enjoying myself, so keep up the good work.

Hahaha! The last piece of this chapter made me laugh. I can't believe he actually asked his father for help. But then again he has no siblings, or I think that would have been the more logical choice in an awkward situation like this one. Next time he'll remember to not leave his apartment quite so quickly - since one never knows what might happen, and don't forget clean underwear!
-
This story develops nicely. The conflict in this chapter has a classical feel to it; it's no longer just Asher and Michael but a third part involved. I thought Asher might take Tyler home but was still a little surprised when Tyler called out from the bedroom. Strictly speaking Michael of course has no holds on Asher, they are barely friends as it is, but no doubt it still hurts for Michael. Maybe it can do him some good? Or maybe not? Seeing how I am more than a month behind when reading this - does the health issues still apply? I hope it's settled for the better.
-
I guess this chapter really answered the question I asked before. So Michael really didn't know? Didn't even suspect, have as much as an inkling ...? Well, I guess it is possible. People tend to see what they want to see. But except for a few rescue missions it has been Michael coming to Asher looking for company, and maybe he just need a friend, but that's no reason to go all crazy like that over the guy in the park; what's wrong with seeing it as a compliment? It will be interesting to see what will happen from here on.

Who could be calling this early on a Saturday morning?
sorgbarn commented on K.C.'s story chapter in Who could be calling this early on a Saturday morning?
Oh, I like it better and better. I like the two new friends of Asher's,more characters gives new opportunities as for what is coming - it won't just be a tiny chamber play, so yeah, I'm looking forward to the rest of this story too. Do you still mean Michael hasn't realized Asher is gay? Surely he must have by now, or have a suspicion or two after meeting Ian and Milo. i guess I have to read the next chapter in order to find out for sure. (I haven't lost a sibling to cancer - I got my leukemia diagnosis little less than three weeks ago - I can honestly say it's a pretty stressful way to start one's summer vacation. And in fact I can take back anything I ever said about the chapters being too short. At my present situation, this is exactly so much I can manage reading in one sitting.) I'll take a short break and will be back for more. -
So it took a little longer than I expected to start reading again. I wanted there to be a few more chapters so I got to read a little more at once, but ... life got in between. When I started reading I figured this would be an all one POV story - Asher's. But that's not quite the case is it? On occasion it drifts toward omniscient, as when Michael came in to the bar in this chapter looking for Asher - is it deliberate? I don't mind changing POV:s as long as it is done well, I don't even mind omniscient ... I juts came to think about it when reading this chapter. So Michael must be up to something, or why else would he come visit Asher like this? It will be interesting to get to know him a lot better. I'm sure he's nothing what he looks like at the moment. Or maybe he just doesn't have any friends? The part about Asher's sister struck more than a little too close to home for me (though I'm not dead yet), and one of the reasons it's taken me some time to pick up the reading again, and I seriously hope there will be no flashbacks to her illness or death or I don't know whether I'll cope. I have quite a few more chapters to catch up with, and I will. Maybe not right away, but I will.

A little reminder, make sure you live in the present, instead of making plans for a future you don't really know if you'll have.
