I've fallen soooo far behind on reading these (as well as everything else on LJ), it isn't even funny, but I'm finally catching up on some things this evening and this immediately caught my eye. This is just so in character to all of them -- even the absent Elena waiting for hours to page -- that it's wonderful to read!

This is truning out to be a really coherent set of stories -- I'm just amazed at how well all the pieces fit together.

Thank you so much. It's become rather like one of those Chinese puzzle boxes; sometimes things slide in easily--other times you have to pound at them a bit. It's a challenge, but I'm enjoying it. ;) Thanks for reading!

I absolutely agree with Jaybee -- this is becoming an anthology, not just a set of shorts. I think it's difficult to write an extended story in lj (the format doesn't really support that kind of timing) but you have subverted the trouble with these!

Thank, sk! It is difficult to post the stories in chronological order, and some of the pieces I've written don't fully mesh within the pattern I've set. But I am trying. I've got 49 more completed that *should* slot into the appropriate places. Adolescent Adam is almost as fun to write as little Adam, but we won't be seeing him for a while yet. ;) Thanks for reading!

Adolescent Adam? I'm looking forward to him!

Considering the trauma in his young life, and the way he’s had to live a lie with Michael ever since, he's actually fairly well adjusted. He has his father's dry sense of humor combined with the attitude exclusive to those early teenage years. It's an interesting mix. ;)
