So, your disclaimer at the beginning of the chapter had me a bit worried. LOL. I think you were a bit hard on yourself though. The chapter was highly emotional, but I enjoyed it! I love the flashbacks - I find myself waiting for them to come up in every chapter. :) On another note, the fact that you're doing your thesis on the First Crusade makes much more sense than the notion of you writing an entire paper on cannibalism. I clearly read your note wrong. Oooops! I'm a teacher as well ... it's always nice to meet another educator. :)
Author's Response: Hahaha! Thanks! Yeah, I'm not used to the highly emotional writing. I usually do a little angst but not this much so I shocked myself lol. Love meeting other teachers! What do you teach? Thanks for the review!!

That chapter was just horrid! Just kidding, why would you even think that you wrote a horrible chapter? I liked it! Seriously you write the best flashbacks!
Can't wait to read more and see how this dinner out goes!
Author's Response: Hahaha! LOL I can never read the word horrid without reading it in a British accent for some reason, so that made me laugh haha. Thanks so much for your awesome words and support!

Oeeh....good chapter!

Loved the update!! The whole "Big Poppa" term creeps me out ... it always has and it always will. We (the fans) will never find out the truth about their relationship with Lou, and I honestly think that it's better that we don't know. FYI, I can totally see AJ having an ugly-ass gargoyle lamp. Bahahaha! You're doing a thesis on cannibalism?? I find that very intriguing. If you don't mind me asking, what are you planning/hoping to do after you finish your degree?
Author's Response: Yeah, that guy just seriously creeps me out. Anyways, I'm not doing my thesis on cannibalism, I'm only doing one chapter on cannibalism (I read over what I wrote and definitely reads like that's what I'm saying lol so sorry for the misunderstanding). I'm doing my thesis on the First Crusade and more specifically on two massacres that occurred. One of the chapters is on the massacre at Ma'arra and that's the chapter on cannibalism (some of the crusaders were apparently so hungry they ate from the dead).
I don't mind at all! I'm actually a teacher, taking time away from CRT work to finish this damn thesis off. Once I finish the thesis in May/June, I'm going to teach. I have a bet going with myself on which project I finish first, the thesis or this story lol
Thanks so much for the review!! Always appreciate it!

Great new chapter! Interesting flashback on this one, not what I was expecting.
Can't wait to read more soon!
P.S. U should defiantly visit your cousin in South Africa, beautiful country! going to be a hard goodbye for me in two days!
Author's Response: Thanks for the review! It got a bit dark there, I hope I didn't scare you off!
I would LOVE to go Sth Africa but I am currently bankrupt from my last trip overseas to Israel and Jordan lol. I hope your having an AMAZING time! Such a great opportunity!
Thanks again for the review! And safe travels!

Wow what can I say but I feel like I am right in the story with them you have an awesome way of bringing the reader into your stories looking forward to more.Good luck on your chapter for your thesis and eew I'm glad it's not me lol.
Author's Response: Thanks! I thought I lost you as a reader :) So welcome back! Thanks for the review and for the luck!!

Great job with this chapter. I think you really captured Brian and his thoughts well. I really do see him thinking that way. I really wish we knew what happened between those two but I don't think we'll ever truly find out. I had to laugh a few times during your AJ portion of the chapter, especially the lamp. And of course that creepy reference to Lou at the end. I really hope that didn't happen either but sometimes you just get that gut feeling and I think something did go down there. Once again, I'm sure it's something we'll never ever know for sure. Good luck with your thesis. Try not to get the two confused and have AJ accidentally eat Nick! LOL
Author's Response: Hahaha! Maybe I should rework 'Lord of the Flies' with the boys inserted in there. LOL. Very bad images in my head atm. Yeah, I'm not sure what the whole story with Lou is. I hope nothing happened. Just thinking about all the adults in Nick's life when he was young makes me a little disappointed in how we treat our children (that makes no sense but you get what I mean lol). Thanks for the review!!

Awwww Nicky's voice changing. Love it. Please update soon
Author's Response: Thanks! I've always wondered how they dealt with that haha

Aww I loved the flashback in this chapter. I have to say, I think this is the first time I've read a story where Nick going through puberty is addressed. I've often wondered about the guys and how they helped him. They talk about it a lot (Especially Howie lol) Too cute! I love the combo of tiny Nick and Kevin. Looking forward to next week! And I agree with you about Brian (in your last response to me)I don't see him being all brotherly and more business like too these days. Not entirely sure how I feel about that but I know it's been hard to write him for me as well. You do him justice and keep him real. :O)
Author's Response: Howie DOES speak about it a lot, doesn't he? lol I think Nick going through puberty would be a freaking funny story to read. I lack a good sense of humour so now you've got me looking at you haha. Thanks for the compliment about Brian. I don't know if your opinion will change in this chapter though.

I LOVED the whole Nick and Kevin flashback. Too cute! I can totally picture Kevin's super serious big-brother face as he got ready to give Nick "the talk". I was dying!!
Author's Response: Haha Thanks so much! Kevin/Nick and Howie/Nick are my fav to write! You can have so much fun with those combos lol. Thanks for the review!!
Date: 02/10/14 07:19 pm Title: Chapter 20
Haha, Kevin about to give Nick "the talk." Great chapter, don't worry I'm waiting for the big Kevin/Nick chapter as promised.
I'm currently on holiday in South Africa catching up with family so it's nice to have something to read in the evenings:)
Author's Response: The Kevin/Nick chapter is going to be the last of the reconciliation chapters (if you get what I mean) so I hope it will be worth the wait!
My cousin lives in South Africa! I hear it is beautiful! Definitely one of the places I want to go. Have a wonderful holiday and have a safe journey.

Great story so far. Love the plot. One suggestion.. Can you put whose point of view is speaking? It seems to change chapter by chapter and it would be helpful I think if you shared whose point of view is "speaking"
Author's Response: Hi, thanks for the review! I've taken up your suggestion and will do it for each chapter here on out. I'll go over the past chapters later and fix those up too. Thanks for the suggestion (it is much better like that) and thanks for the review!
Date: 02/10/14 10:52 am Title: Chapter 20
aaw that was cute with young Nick and Kevin hihi.
Author's Response: *Sigh* Kevin/Nick, my second fav bromance lol Thanks for the review!!
