Great story, great characters, love Sasha, love Dmitri and love them together !! The love scene was great, may be a little bit too short...never too long, hope for more maybe next chapter with "deskgate" ;)! I also like that Sasha is owning her sexual drive and voicing what she want. It should be interesting to see her explore that part of her. Can't wait for the next chapters! Thanks again !

Hey, welcome back ! So good to read from Sascha and Dmitri again! THANKS!!!!!

So I liked how their conversation went during that dinner. Dmitri sure did some good thinking and was great at expressing his feelings and communicating with her. I am so, so rooting for him. I liked how he owned is faults while aknowledgeing he wasn't ready, but aslo how he pointed out how the relationship was going way too fast for him, at that point in his life, with all his family issues. They both had so many issues, and I am glad that they have the opportunities to give their relationship another try. Sure Dmitri still has some maturing and growth to do, but that's life too ! Even without as heavy past as theirs, any relationship is always hard to build. It takes time and effort and energy. And sometimes it does'nt work. Or it only work for a time and then people fall out of love and move on, and more often than not, on still friendly terms. But at least, they have tried and lived and loved and made memories So I really hope Sascha decides to give it a try too. So I reaa hope that Sasha will walk through her fears and give it a try too !

Thanks for the new chapter.

The sex scene was hot. Though I am not a mega fan of the usual dominant man/submissive woman sexual pairing (I really hate "alpha male" bullshit 'cause way too often in fiction it's a way to romanticize male abusive behaviour), I get that it's just a sexual dynamic, so to each its own. It doesn't define the entierety of Dmitri and Sasha relationship, which, I think has evolved into a friendly loving equally respectful relationship and I LOVE that.Just one question though: what happened to safe protected sex? If I remember well, they used to have safe sex. Is Sasha at least on BC? Or have they decided they wanted to start a family? But they haven't been back together for 1 month yet. THAT would be a bit rushed, wouldn't it?

Aside from battling her anorexia, I am glad Nadia grew out of her selfishness. And that she apologize to Sasha and that Shasha also apologized to her. I don't expect them to ge BFF but a cordial relationship would be nice.

Now, about that father of theirs, I do hope he get some long earned ass bitch slapping. The man is just....UGH!

Thanks for the new chapter. Great writing. I knew Sierra would try and do something like that, but it didn't turn out oo bad. Good that Maksim is handling Viktor. And it was good to learn more about the reason why he left and how he viewed everything around him. I really like this character, I wouldn't mind reading more about him after this story is wrapped.

So, now, how about Sierra and Jake. Love those two, I would love for them to be able to heal and move on now, whether together or each on one's own.

Oh, I'm so glad to read this story again. Thanks for updating. And what a chpater! I am so proud of Sierra. I really, really hope she can keep her way back from the hole she fell into a mere year ago. She's doing so good. I really root for her to get better. I don't even want any getting back with Jake. Sh eneeds to be her own person. She need time to grow and strengthen by herself, with friends and family supporting her. And I like that she is not hanging on the hope to get back with Jake anymore. She seemns ready to move on and do things for her own sake. So happy.

Also, Maksim better be back to give some serious as whopping to his unsufferable brother. that Vikto, that little piece of shit. I hope he get karma bitched real good!

Monica, Monica, Monica, girl: you set yourself for an heartbreak when you went after that boy and became the rebound girl; and meangirling the ex is just showing how insecure you are (though I don't hate you, you seems like a good decent girl, Jake is a good decent guy, but not just the one for you...). Jake, Jake, Jake, you can try, and try, and try, but when you dream of your ex while laying with your present girl, there is no way you are over the ex and you might be better take the hint your subconscious self is giving you (but you are right to not go right back to Sierra just like that, she needs to be by herself, just don't string Monica along, it is not cool)...Sierra, Sierra, Sierra, you need to stay strong, not for Jake (even if he is indeed a good guy, and he still loves you and I really root for you both, together or separately), but for yourself; also, when you are just fresh out of rehab, maybe avoid anything involving party and alcohol (try and find a steady job too)....Oh, and can we get rid of Victor; may be have some more Finch with that too. Thanks for the update. This story is very good. It was interesting to have the three different point of view.

Hmmm. I really like that story and the writing is good, it is really one of my few favoriute, but some stuff are just a little bit annoying. First, isn't Aubrey supposed to be at school at some point? Why doesn't anybody question her about that? Antonio? Mrs Anderson? Lilian who is supposed to be a teacher? She hasn't graduated yet, hasn't she? Adn why would Antonio let her just leave to go God knows where, knowing that her mother is dead, without questionning and all? I mean the way she is behaving it shows she is still a teenager. And how come she just get lost like she is 7 years old? Isn't she supposed to have some money? Couldn't she just go and find a public phone and call her father? And the whole thing with Stefan Russo is just creepy, and the fact that she would not say anything is even more infuriating.

You're back, yeah!!! I missed this story like a good friend! Just love it. Thanks for the snippet, it was fine. Kennyatta is growing on me. Their convo was fun and kind of sweet. Would love more, more, and soon. Can't wait.

That sex scene was hot ! The morning after should be interesting ;) She surely will feel embarassd but also will want him again. I hope he keeps his word and he actually quits, she won't have any direct way to make him stay.

That was a very nice story, nicely paced. Thanks a lot

Thanks for the new chapter, but yep, don't like the pregnancy bit at all. Especially after several "false alarms". UGH! Why, oh why ??? If it weren't for the good writing...ARGH! Also, I am a bit tired of Roddrick being so angry at everyone all the time. I know she has good reasons, especially due to her childhood. And Brian cheated on her. And Milo...well, said some stupif shit. But all this anger and being mad at practically everyone is just that, tiring. I like the character, I like how independant she is (that is one of the reason why I don't like this pregnancy bit), but really it is hard. And now I dread even more gloomy stuff now...

Sooooo...1st thing 1st : thanks for the new chapter. It has been a long time! So I still like the story, the writing, the characters. BUT I SO HATE that PREGANCY STORYLINE ! UGH ! I just can't get over the fact that we got played around with the false pregnancy alarms to have them be declared false and then...BIG PLOT TWIST: SHE'S PREGNANT! I think it is a very cheap move.

Then comes the other very predictable move : of course she is going to keep it. Like, only bad bad girl gets abortion, right? Thats the pattern in almost every story out there. The "bad" girl has had or is having abortions. The "good" girl is going ahead with the pregnancy. No lead female character, no proper heroine can make that  choice? I am being a bit harshg but it's because I am disapointed with the way the story is going. I find it so predicatable and...unoriginal.

Like, for once, what about writing about a complex and sometimes annoying but still likable good decent female lead character who gets pregnant by accident and decides to have an abortion with the support of her lover? What about exploring THAT journey? It is complicated, messy, difficult. I wouldn't think less of her if she did do it. I wouldn't like her more, she would still be annoying with being angry with everyone, and still be an overall nice decent girl I ultimately root for. Is it too much to ask, really?

I guess I am being unfair asking for that to this specific story. Especially as I really like this story. I like Roddrick and Milo and I want them together. I even like big mouth Danny, who was being so rude and horrible to Milo, even if she thought she was "standing for her girl". It's just...yeah, a bit disappointing.

Very very good story. Thank you very much for sharing. And thanks also for updating so regularly. There NEEDS to be a sequel!!

It took me some chapters to get into it. I actually started to read the story twice. I was really annoyed by that Turk/Kyra business (the way they behaved toward Rory and all) and at the same time I wasn't really feeling Vic either. But then, when the Isis stuff got revealed, it became way more interesting than the usual stuff. Being a huge x-men and x-women fan it was a very nice twist!!

I liked the explanation of the genetic evolution, it wasn't too over the top nor far fetched. I knew Knight was suspicious from the start and was a bit surprised Rory didn't questionned more how they were able to have so many high tech stuff and how the all thing was financed. That is the 1st thing I thought! Also I didn't really get how the antartica base was connected to the main one ruled by Knight and how/why it was self-ruled by Y people but I liked that it was not some regular top down hierarchy thing, but kind of more democratic, with collective discussion and vote, even if Galia was the main leader and there was some status/power shift at play.

The characterization was really good too, even for the secondary one. Loved Missy, and liked Nate, even if him "caring"/falling for/feeling something for Rory was a bit on the nose... I ended loving Vic so much, especially when he showed his vulnerable side. Loved, loved Rory: i liked that she was not the "typical" girl, that she never turned into helpless "damsell in distress". She kept a teeny bit of an attitude, but also opened up and strenghthened and developed her powers. Was a bit surprised/disapointed by the all "true" persona with long wavy hair and blue eyes, but that is me nit picking a bit. Also, I love her being the heroine and kicking ass and it made sense that her blood would be the cure, but I am not feeling having a Jesus like/ Chosen one Rory, saving the day and humanity and all...

All and all it was a very coherent storytelling, with consistent characters and some welcomed diversity. Keep up the good work!!
