    Wow...a 23rd-century crackhouse. Some things never do change. :( Very powerful scene there.

    And the interactions between Corry and Scott are just excellent as usual. Glad to see him really starting to become part of this family even to the point of being there through the worst.

    And...wow. B-movies. :rommie:

    I find it impossible to believe that things like drug abuse and alcoholism would be entirely stamped out. I think that they'd be decreased quite a bit, but there are still psychological factors and social factors that you can't just stamp out; these things would exist. I think the world there is a better place in a lot of ways, but certainly not this perfect utopia where nothing bad ever happens, where people don't ever fall between the cracks (or dive there willingly, even).

    Oh, I adored the interactions in this. The light stuff, and the dark stuff. I loved that Abby got introduced, and that all of the unspoken stuff was still a real and present thing.

    Thanks so much for the comment!

    Oh, man...I about fell over laughing at several points in this story!

    "But he didn't feel like getting any closer to that entirely spineless thing until he had no choice. And he didn't want to get too close to the lobster, either."

    AAAHAHAHAHAA!

    And even better--stunning the lobster! I admit, I'd have qualms about just throwing them into the pot, too!

    But that last bit...priceless! :rommie:

    Thanks! I had way too much fun writing this one. In fact, the entire story started in my head when I could hear Corry asking, in shock, "You phrasered a lobster?!" From there, it was all downhill. ;)

    Notes: A look at mothers, sons, brothers... and the heartbreak that goes with someone going off into space. Takes place at the beginning of the Four Years War. (If anyone decides to tell me that's not when that war happened... prove it. No one can agree on when, so this made sense to me.) Originally posted here.

    No, he didn't. Corry stayed on Earth, Scott went onto the Denevan Run. Much to Cor's worry. Thanks for the comment!

    Crap...I think I must have misinterpreted the ending, and thought Corry would end up following Scott. Sorry. :(

    I still love the story, though!

    I'm still enjoying this story--it's just that the holidays make it difficult to keep caught up! Between kids and turkey and football games and work there are never enough hours. So, it's all the better for me when I have the time to devote to your stories--you really do have a knack and a love for these characters that comes through with every word.

    Keep it up!

    Awww...the beginning of a beautiful relationship. :)

    (Just watched Casablanca for the first time last night--can't help misquoting it! ;) )

    It's a good movie! I actually like Bogie and Bacall's stuff, but Casablanca is definitely a classic. Thanks for the comment!

    Notes: It's strange how something can be wonderful and heartbreaking all at once. Like what it is to have a home. And what it is to be homesick. Second to last one of the set. Originally posted here.

    Re: Arc of the Wolf: True Bearings - Home

    So I'm guessing back then (especially during wartime) it wasn't so common to have visual communications? It seems like this is audio...

    And I LOVE getting the follow-up on the lobster incident! I had been wondering exactly that, if he left the bands on or not! :rommie:

    Very moving to see them still trying to keep up the friendship despite distance and circumstances.

    I think visual was probably much more strictly allotted. I figure that in the modern day, it takes less bandwidth (or whatever else) to do audio communications than it does full video, and I imagine that even in the future with subspace communications, it would still be about the same. Except, of course, they can call across whole lightyears. ;) Plus, especially during wartime, I'd think that the relays and everything that makes it possible would be dedicated mostly to wartime traffic.

    Thank you! I loved this one. It was quiet and warm and I'm glad I wrote it.
