Gosh, has it really been eight months since I last posted. Oops Sorry. I guess you'll need a catch-up as much as I did. So here's the story so far. Ben, when desperate for a little extra cash, discovered that there was good money to be made running in races as a 'ponyboy'. Despite being assured that the worst he would be subjected to would be a 'certain amo...
********************************* Previously in Technical Difficulties: Ryan and Zach have been friends and harboured secret crushes on each other for years. Recently, Zach was turned into a vampire for reasons that remain unclear. He went to Ryan for help. Ryan invited Zach to stay with him indefinitely. Meanwhile, Zach's parents, who he lived with until...
Matt didn't always smile, but his bad moods generally lasted less than a few hours, so Benny wasn't too concerned when Matt snapped at him for being a couple of minutes late for their meeting in front of the cinema, or when he later declared that the movie had been stupid, glaring at Benny, as if Benny had been the one to suggest it. Normally a bacon cheeseb...
* Jeff * I would have died rather than let anything on to Daniel, but my heart was pounding as we walked into the karaoke bar together. The sweetheart thought I was the one being brave for us both by holding his hand; in reality, I needed his touch to get me through this. I know what you're thinking, you're just saying hi to your boyfriend's friend, who's...
That Neon Glow "Not like you to want to go out." Donnie grunted, shoulders rounded, out of his comfort zone with his face feeling a little stiffer than he was used to. Maybe that was how women felt wearing make-up but he thought too that surely the UV paint (not quite in the colours that Xander had promised him at that time) was heavier and thicker again s...
AU: I apologize that this is kinda late, I discovered Final Fantasy XV and let's just say it is highly distracting. I hope you enjoy a longer chapter as a treat. And the sass levels of Harley my god I love that girl. Please Comment **** It had been two weeks since the night that will not be mentioned. And Ben was fine, he was great actually. Life was perf...
The narrating switches are difficult, I agree. I'm working on a better system for it. I've plotted out the rest of the story, and it definitely necessitates switching amongst viewpoints, so I hope to improve the flow with some beta readers. Anyway, this chapter is Matty until the very last break. So: I'm not having the best time mentally/emotionally (read:...
I didn't know if it was the unseasonal heat or the heavy work we'd done that day or Jake's scary stories or Miguel's empty bed that kept me awake in the dormitory that night, but I had nervous energy to spare. I would doze, but I'd wake up with a start and look over at Miguel's bed, the emptiness of it now explained, and then I'd check all of the other beds...
"You just come in for a drink and a look see, or you want something more, Oskar?" "Just the drink today, Skinner, thanks. A shot and a chaser, please." "Been some time since you got any, hasn't it?" the bartender at the Buckhead Ranch said as he set up two shot glasses for the big Swede bellied up to the bar. "You're still in fine shape, Oskar. You should...
This is the fourth chapter of 'Pony Boy' and, if you haven't read the rest, then please do so first. Quite a bit of the story refers back to events in the earlier parts and it won't make much sense if you read them out of order. And, of course, there are the usual disclaimers; anyone involved in sexual acts is over eighteen and we're all fictional. Enjoy...
