Forgetful?
AJ’s a bit forgetful. Well that and we don’t actually have anything to really write. So today is a pretty nothing post, so I’ll share some images AJ’s created the last few weeks. OOOOOH I forgot to show you: These are not by AJ. AJ commissioned them! How epic are these? …

Rubber Ducky Your the One
So AJ was editing The First Hunt and she wrote this explanation for a writing group she’s part of and wound up answering her own problem. This method of problem solving is called Rubber Duck Debugging. AJ uses it on a regular basis when she’s working on code. And apparently it works for all sorts…

Opening Paragraph
AJ’s editing on top of writing. We have no new content to post today we might later but we don’t have any at present. So we’ll talk editing for the next couple days and you can yell at me if you don’t like it. Though content might slip out if I don’t find something else…

All Day in Bed
I sat unmoving while Alex cleaned up the dripped ice cream and syrup on the floor in our bedroom. I felt him more than saw him. I knew from the connections we shared he was concerned particularly when I didn’t move. But moving might mean crying, and I was doing my damned hardest not to…

Gift of Music
Alex smiled but it wasn’t necessarily happy. “You didn’t have to get me anything. We don’t have to do anything special either.” All things I knew but I was going to do anyway. It was the day he was born, the day he came into the world so he could be a big part of…

Morning Of
The whole thing went well. Alex never once questioned where I was. Well not really, he’d joke and make fun of the fact I was keeping things from him, but it was all well and good and it was just teasing. And he stopped when he felt my anxiety even ratched up a little bit.…

Week Gone
Ryan thankfully agreed and we made time everyday to get together and he taught me how to play the guitar. Ryan was surprised by my aptitude with the whole thing. He said he’d never seen anyone learn it as quickly as I did. But what he didn’t know was my ability was doing all the…

Unexpected Teacher
Dancing with the class was pretty amazing. Even as the little girls giggled at my mistakes, I had fun. And Angelina made time for me at the end. She congratulated me on my nuptials and was upset that I hadn’t invited her. “We could have taught you and the Mister how to tango.” “I can…

Buying a Guitar
What Rider didn’t know was I actually had a plan. There was a vintage music shop down by the park, in Vampire territory. I’d passed it several times when visiting Armande, and that’s where I planned on checking first. To get an idea of what Alex might like. The store was just a little hole…

Tomorrow
AJ should have something for you tomorrow.

Happy Halloween
But more importantly today is Alex’s Birthday. In 2019 he’ll be 29. He’s almost 30… dude, we are getting old! What are we going to say when we are 300? What will the world be like then? Too far to think about and way to depressing too. AJ has a story in progress for Alex’s…

Bright Theory
Today’s post is brought to you by AJ’s Rory’s Cubes: a lightbulb, shadow monster and a book thusly titled Bright Theory. This is not cannon. Hunter was afraid of the dark, and for good reason. His nightmares rivaled my own, and the problem was they usually came true. The darkness closed in on us as…

Last High School Post
Yesterday was AJ’s last post for the highschool story that was written. So today you will likely just get me rambling on about it. AJ’s working on my gift to Alex for his birthday which is in 4 days. So we’ve a bit of work to do, as soon as AJ gets that going further…

HSAU: Just Us Guys Part 1
Alex I didn’t expected to be going so soon, Nox caught me texting Max in the middle of a conversation. So as we walked I tried to finish that up. “Max doesn’t want to go?” he asked. He wasn’t looking at me but staring a head. “How’d you guess?” “Does he want to spend the night?” “He does,…

HSAU: Friday Night Part 5
Nox Dinner was almost ready when the door opened unexpectedly. It was unusual for anyone to come from the shelter area before dinner. I looked up to see a pair of blue eyes I had hoped not to see until tomorrow. But he was probably just as stubborn as I was if not more from…

HSAU: Friday Night Part 4
Alex We walked around the grocery store for a good hour talking and grabbing things off the shelf. Mrs. Durante paid for it and we wheeled Max home. He could walk but not far, so walking up stairs was a bit of a challenge, but we made it. The house was very quiet. Like no…

HSAU: Friday Night Part 3
Nox My mom greeted us at the door and quickly took Max and Alex away from the impending danger. More like running for their lives while they sent me into the lion’s den. But that was alright, I knew eventually it was going to come down to this. Just me and Dad. The house was…

HSAU: Friday Night Part 2
Alex I’d never spent this much time with a group of people I didn’t like. And if it weren’t for watching Nox I probably would have left when I got there. And the girls all sort of ignored me, the guys looked at me like I was carrying the plague, except for Nox. He looked…
