Excellent chapter! I've been waiting forever for an update from you, but yeah, war exempts you! Hope you're safe and sound now!
Something's wrong with FF.net(what else is new?)and it's not showing the review I left there.
I am absolutely loving the fire images, especially the visual of Shane's lips outlined on Hunter's forehead and later on the fire snaking around their wrists when they hold hands! Beautiful. Why do I have the feeling that there is more to come about that? (Maybe because I'm *hoping* there is...)
Great job!

Re ff.net, I did get the mail alert for your review. Guess it'll just take it time to show.

Actually, the fire image wasn't planned to play again: there's only one more chapter left to this story, and it has its own theme.

As for war... I was far from the front, but HQ has its own stresses.

Cheers & See You Around,

Hagar

ff.net's totally not working, as usual after an 'upgrade', so this is from having beta-read.

I really loved the mood and visuals in this chapter. You set an entire scene - the beach at night, the sounds of the ocean, Shane following Hunter into the cliffs - with only a few sentences. Very effective.

And then the emotions - nice and inventive use of the gift Shane got from Skyla, and again great imagery of fire as symbolic of strong emotion. The confrontation here was intense and very involving. Great work!
