Walking in and seeing someone else in the place that you've seen yourself, perhaps doing things you didn't even understand that you wanted to do...that can bring out a bad side to some folks. It did in me, once.

There's so much hope in this at the ending that I think the story will stick with me for a while.

Thank you for your kind words. *smiles* I'm waiting with anticipation the time when Cody and Veeran properly realise their feelings for one another and act on them. But for now, I'm still stuck with thoughts of Cody and Yai. ^_^

I think Veeran needs to tell someone his feelings... good story hun... I enjoyed it.

V.

Ah, but suddenly he is so very uncertainly about things. It remains to be seen what effect Yai had on, well, everything. ^_^ I'm evil.

So evil ^^ *waves* I hope to read more ^_^ I've been at the wrong time at the wrong place seeing the right person do the wrong things ^_^ Keep it up *smiles*

Why thank you very much! I shall endeavour to produce more accounts of Veeran and Cody's lives. Although I'm still currently very enamoured by Yai. *longing sigh* Veeran was glad to see the back of him, though. And not least because he is so hot.

Finally got round to reading this. I love it!! I love how you described Yal. Very intriguing character, but poor Veeran. Wouldn't want the poor little fox to go crazy with jealousy.

Ah, but how do you know there is anything to be jealous about? I'm writing an aftermath Prompt for 'Sacrifice', so there will be some continuation.

Thanks for faving it, love! *hug*

I thought there would be a continuation. When do people need a reason to be jealous? Although I suppose I could have meant more insecure.. What do you call it if someone is jealous without a reason?

Umm, paranoid? I think the word you are looking for is in fact jealousy. I can't think of anything else anyway, but then it is very early in the morning. *sigh*

Just lovely. Wonderful characterisations and a real flow of story.
Superb work, Cerih!

Thanks a lot, Metassus! Coming from a great writer like yourself, that's a really big compliment!

Very interesting. Very well written and entertaining, I liked your soft and subtle touch on the subject. Also, the approach to the both prompts is quite nice, although "under the bridge" is just in one sentence. Anyway, great little piece, I enjoyed reading this.

No nyt musta tuntuu, että voisin sanoa jotain näistä V/C-tarinoista verrattuna K/S-tarinoihin. K/S-tarinathan on hyvin suoraviivaisia, tavallaan yksinkertaisia, sisäinen ristiriita syntyy lähinnä Kian ja Sheelanin välisestä kitkasta, sekä muiden suhtautumisesta häneen/heihin. Hiukan mustavalkoista, yksinkertaista fantasiaa, ei sinällään paha asia, tarinathan ovat kuitenkin viihdyttäviä.

V/C-tarinat taas ovat yllättäneet minut positiivisesti. Heti luettuani tarinan 'Sharing' minä pidin näitä kahta ystävystä homoseksuaaleina, vaikka he eivät välttämättä viattomuudessaan edes itse tajua sitä. Sinähän mainitset lukemistani tarinoista ensimmäisenä tässä, että Veeranilla on tunteita Codya kohtaan, aikaisemmin heidän ystävyytensä on tullut ilmi vain tekojen kautta ja tavallaan kauniisti ajateltuna heitä voisi pitää vain erittäin hyvinä ystävinä. Veljeksiä, vaikkeivat sukua olekaan. Hienovarainen ja jopa kiltti lähestymisesi on tehnyt vaikutuksen minuun, V/C-tarinat ovat proosallisesti huomattavasti hienostuneempia kuin K/S-tarinat. Kahden ystävyksen edesottamusten seuraaminen näiden lämminhenkisten tarinoiden kautta on ollut viihdyttävää, vaikka en itse pystykään homoseksuaaleihin sinällään samaistumaan.

Yeah... I guess that was that. Great read, grand story, hopefully you like the feedback.

I certainly like the feedback! ^_^ I'm really pleased that you see a difference between the two types of stories I've written, because, as I said, I did make a conscious effort to distinguish them from one another. With V/C stories I very much concentrated on the richness of the language and attempted to paint the scenes through the use of words etc. K/S are, like you said, more straightforward stories of the two of them. Unsurprisingly, I very much prefer V/C stories myself, although writing about Kia and Sheelan has helped a lot with roleplaying the pair. ^_^

Thanks again!
