Review Responses for Chapter 12: dazedandconfused: I think you mean more updates rather than updates and new stories because that would actually mean less time spent on BS since I'd have to update other things. And, ouch. I think I can say I've established an update pattern, even if it is every two months. And usually there are updates that come bi-weekly before my 'breaks'. What can I say, life keeps me busy. I'm going to try and update every three weeks but we'll see. And you'll find out next chapter a partial story of the bruises. jensen: I'm actually planning on doing a side story that explains Johnny's past and his friends, the ones he mentioned at the end of chapter 12 that you'll be meeting next chapter. So I think your request is doable and will likely happen but it might take some time. Thanks for reviewing. Roya: Glad you liked it . I'll try not to leave the next update for so long. Thanks for reviewing. Aduial: They sort of will work it out but conflict is the food of relationships. Don't worry you didn't miss any chapters, it seems like it's been a while for both of us. I hope everything goes smoothly with the moving, I know how much of a hassle it can be. CelticThunderFan: You too. I'm happy I made you happy. Yeah, as I said to jensen, I'm thinking about making a side story about Johnny's past, his friends, and what they do. Did you not receive the update email? I don't plan to take you off the updating list unless you request it. If you didn't get the email just let me know and I'll look into or figure out some other way to send it to you. attackegg: I'm really happy you liked it. I tried to work in all your suggestions. Writer11377: I'm glad you like it so much. Thank you, I do try with my characters. It seems everybody wants to know what Johnny does for a living, perhaps I ought to start on that side story sooner than later. Thanks for the review. Prostock69: I'm very happy you consider BS 'freaking awesome'. And you're pretty close to what he does for a living but not quite. And yes, Sterling should know how Johnny feels about him, shame on him. But he'll try and make it up to him. Wow, it's nice to know that our golden couple elicits such strong emotional reactions. Thanks for reviewing.

That's odd. I could have sworn that I responded to this already but I don't see the post. So yeah, the gist of what I wrote was that I was sorry that I didn't reply to this before and that I'd only seen your post today because things have been hectically busy for me. Thanks for posting on here though, I've been trying to encourage people to but I don't seem to be having any luck. I also wrote that I was about to update Bitter Sweet but you've already seen that. Thanks for the review.

Review Responses for Chapter 11: CelticThunderFan: I'm flattered that it was drool worthy. Thanks, the sex was originally shorter, way shorter, but when I was looking it over my fingers had a mind of their own and just kept adding onto it. Until I was happy and Johnny was spent. Sterling won't be sharing Johnny ever but there might be a future scene where everyone sees them loving each other simply because they love each other and maybe to prove a point. Michael and Johnny will be getting close in the future. You're also going to meet Jace's sub in the next chapter probably and all of them will be close. I'm happy that you enjoyed. miles: Thank you. And Johnny is a bit mysterious isn't he? Eventually his past will be revealed and you'll see why he reacts and thinks like he does. dazedandconfused: Thank you. Yes Johnny did slip a bit this chapter. So you spotted that, hmm? You'll see a bit of what happened on Johnny's trip in the next chapter. And yes, those jerks will be back. Well, I did say I would update, didn't I? I don't think I've broken a promise thus far and the chapter along with the next couple are done. When I run out I'll simply take another break to write more if I can't get them done between updates. Jthe Chosen1: LOL. That does happen in the future. Thank you. Madison: Thank you. I'm glad you're enjoying Bitter Sweet and that Johnny and Sterling are one of you're favourite couples, they're one of mine too. Aduial: I missed you for the last couple of chapters. I thought you had forgotten about BS. Thank you, I appreciate the review.Good luck with the moving. Lysian: Thanks for giving Bitter Sweet a shot. And I'm glad to know that you find it good enough to stalk. Thanks for the review.

Review Responses for Chapter 10: dazedandconfused: I feel very missed. You guys might not have seen this chapter so soon if I hadn't seen your last review. Writing is a depressing trade. I'm glad to know I made your Sunday, you made mine too. I was aiming for Friday but alas, things often don't work out. I know, I feel appropriately shamed, it has been a long time and I'll try not have it be that long in the future. I'm not quite back, but the next two chapters are done and so is half of 13, I'll update until I run out of chapters. Yeah, Johnny sort of pulled the energy from Sterling since he couldn't provide it for himself. And kids are definitely a handful, Aubrey and her brother may be making another appearance in the future. You will love the next chapter, it's awesome- and so is the one after it- or at least I think so. This story doesn't have any art but if you or anyone wants to make some feel free to and I'll post it. Roya: It has been a while. Luckily the next couple of chapters are done and I'll update until I run out so it shouldn't be so long next time, hopefully. It was nice to read your review and you're welcome for the update. CelticThunderFan: Sorta... I haven't seen your story in a while either. Yeah, it is a shame but...(shh, this is a secret) Sterling will be recreating some of those scenes with Johnny in the near future. So while he still likely won't remember it all, they'll recreate new memories. Aubrey has a brother that you guys will probably meet soon. I hadn't actually thought about them adopting together, we'll see. Thank you. It's nice to kind of be back. Anon: Thank you. Look forward to the next chapter. I think it's pretty good.

Review Responses for Chapter 9: miles: Thank you. The BDSM will come. I appreciate the review. CelticThunderFan: It wasn't that long was it? It's been a bit more than a month I think. No, I definitely plan to finish all my stories, it just might take time. Thank you. Yeah, BDSM- though I'm not quite sure how that one will play out, we'll see. Yeah, it will take Johnny a while to forgive Vega but he's working on it. The babysitting chapter is the next one, it's got a bit of humor but just doesn't want to be written. I've actually got the chapter after it done but 10 is taking longer. Thank you. Aside from glaring grammatical errors, I don't think it's too bad myself- and I'm working on the grammar. MMHTS is still being re-written, I've got 2 chapters finished but it still has a long way to go. dazedandconfused: Not quite back but I am posting again, or at least for the little bit. It's nice to know the story was missed. Thank you, I really enjoyed writing chapter 9, it went by really quickly- I wrote it one or two days before I posted. Johnny and Michael will become good friends but you'll meet the people Johnny's really close to in chapter 13. Unfortunately I'm not back to a regular updating schedule again. The good news is that I'm currently writing chapter 12- chapter 10 isn't done yet but it'll sort itself out- and that 11 is finished. So once 10 is done you guys will see a bit more of this story till I run out of chapters.

Review Responses for Chapter 8: Aduial: Well it's nice to know it got to you, I was starting to wonder if I was doing something wrong since no one seemed to get the email. Yeah, the non-breakup didn't quite stick- I know some pretty interesting people too. We'll get into Johnny soon, there's plenty of reasons he's so messed up. Yeah, I already have a 'shrink' lined up for Johnny. I look forward to seeing Rocking Daisuke then, you take care too. Lisa: Yeah. What can I say? He's got some major issues. He will but Sterling will get there eventually. Thank you. CelticThunderFan: No problem, I sent it pretty early or late didn't I? Sterling's trying and he has given him a bit of time, they'll figure things out between them slowly. Johnny would consider it a betrayal if Sterling went to his brother, it would be like the drug incident with Johnny's anger directed toward Sterling. Also Rhys doesn't know everything since he left Johnny. Sterling didn't give up he just left the decision to Johnny; there's only so far he can push so he made Johnny choose and stick to that choice. Thank you, I will make try to keep updates to Friday and everyone on the update list- which you are part of- will be alerted when I update. Thank you, but it was pretty bad. I've done the first chapter of the newer version and I think it's a lot better, the story still has all the important parts but it's been rearranged and is a lot more coherent. Happy 4th of July to you too but for me it's more the 1st, I live in Canada. grmblfjx: Thank you for letting me know. I'll give it a week and look it over again or I probably won't notice it. LOL, fluffy angst. Yeah, it had to predicable- I had to get that part out of the way, if Johnny didn't choose ultimately he would have been coasting and dreadfully out of character. But now that it's over with I can get on with the story. So you found the review response, I try to answer them within a week. Yeah, I don't mind constructive criticism- or flames really- it helps me improve my writing and I'm all for that. I'll add you to the list when you figure it out. cbs: Thank you. It left me one too which I plan on satisfying today. dazedandconfused: Thanks for your patience then. They will, they'll figure it out between them.

Review Responses for Chapter 7: CelticThunderFan: I'll be sure to now that I have your email address. However, someone reviewed Melt my Heart to stone and I realized they were correct- it is bad. So I've decided to rewrite it. I'm going to revamp everything and post it at a later time, I've also decided that since I'm redoing it I'm going to just focus on finishing Bitter Sweet first. Thank you. I'm going start writing things from his perspective a bit more often, I've written 7 chapters and his POV has only come up twice- that or I'll do both in the chapters, just switch views. Yeah, I don't think much people thought he would bottom though I hinted otherwise in the review responses. I'm glad it turned out the way I intended then. Thank you, I wanted to add a bit of bite to the story, I promised BDSM and it's been pretty vanilla so far. Only problem is, if I got right to it I don't think this would have much of a plot and while that isn't a bad thing sometimes I want this story to have a bit more. Roya: Thanks, I'm glad you're enjoying it. Yeah, the big bad top stereotype, huh? Sterling's willing to do a lot for Johnny and he stated he was okay with it before. He wants a relationship with Johnny and he knows lying about that will result in no Johnny which is what he's trying to avoid. Oh, it will- things will get very complicated, it's not about to get easy for them. They will build up more trust eventually, it'll just take them a little more time. The next chapter will be interesting and probably a little predictable, or at least I think it will. It will likely be updated next Friday. Aduial: LOL. *Grins back*. Aw... it's okay, thank you for reviewing, reviews make my day. I love him too, poor Johnny got the short end of the stick- very little people realize that he's not as bad as he seems. What's that saying, mostly bark and not much bite? Yeah, fanfiction dot net is a little easier to handle since it sends out alerts and you can check on things but it's more censored. Does that mean you didn't get my alert email for the last chapter? Because I definitely sent one to your email. I'll have to figure out how that works with gmail, so troublesome. Yeah, I click on reviewers randomly or if I see their name and they've got stories out I'll check it out. I liked yours so I'll email you when the next update comes out and you can respond to that whenever. miles: Thank you. I know, that does seem to have gotten lost somewhere in the story, doesn't it? Fear not, I'm still working on that but it'll take some time. And yes, he does forgive his brother but it doesn't mean that he's forgotten anything- two very different things. I do plan to, keep writing that is. cbs2: Thank you. Added. steph: You flatter me. I can see your email, and you'll get an alert for the next chapter.

Review Responses for Chapter 6: lividfire: LOL. Fortunately mother nature seems to be a bit kinder to Johnny. Not much kinder though, just a little. There, there, if anything that's what pegging is for. Thulytran: Thank you. They're made for each other, Sterling won't take it too badly. Lisa: You'd be correct. Johnny's a little stubborn, fortunately- or not for Johnny- Sterling's just as stubborn. Yep, the circus is awesome so I'm glad you liked it, I was basing it off cirque du soleil since I love that circus and go whenever I can. You'd be right that just because one's bottoming it doesn't mean they're submissive. There are ways to top from the bottom. This (or at least the next chapter) will just be another aspect of the two of them. CelticThunderFan: Hey, dear. Thank you, they're going to get to know each other even better in the next chapter. And you're exactly right, he would do it for Johnny. You'll see what I mean in the next chapter. I think his reaction might surprise you, but maybe not. dazedandconfused: Yep, and they're about to get even more interesting. Soon we're going to get to the BDSM but for now I need to lay down some foundation and get certain plot points out of the way. Thank you, the circus was one of my favourite bits to write. You'll see but don't count it out just yet. No problem, I'm happy you reviewed. reader1962: I'm glad you enjoy the story. Unfortunately life prevents me from updating as often as you'd like. I don't think that I do too badly with updating though- most of the time I update bi-weekly if not sooner and this is the only time it's taken three weeks but I did put in the first or second chapter that sometimes it would take up to a month.

Review Responses for Chapter 3: Roya: Thank you! I'm glad you're enjoying it. I'm honestly not sure how my mind came up with this one. Xander's ending isn't really happy or sad, it's sort of neutral. There may be a sequel where he gets a happy ending but this one ends on a neutral note. You're very welcome. CelticThunderFan: Mischka will end up being one of his allies. August does have reasons why he is the way he is that will come up soon though. Yep, Xander does have red eyes and black hair, there's a specific reason for that too. Nope, he doesn't get too injured besides a sore hand. And the punishment isn't too bad as August has already made his point, I think. BS is now up too, sorry about the lateness. I haven't started a mailing list though because only a few people have asked for it, should more ask I likely will. Thank you, it's quite a contrast to bitter sweet and here I promised myself no more angsty stories and yet I posted this. eleeland: Thank you, I'm glad you like it. grmblfjx: Firstly, I'd like to say 'ouch'. Next, I'd like to say 'thank you'. Constructive criticism is a very much appreciated. Thank you for the compliment. Funnily enough Bitter Sweet is a rewrite, I did it years ago and decided to post it now but figured some- okay, a lot- of reworking was in order. My view of it had changed and I wanted to add different things to it so I rewrote it. Perhaps I should have done that with Melt my Heart to Stone too since it's also a couple of years old. That bad, huh? I think I got trapped in the 'I wrote it so I don't see my mistakes' cycle, everything you're describing that I did wrong is sort of horrifying . The good news is that I plan on rewriting it, when I'm done it'll be more realistic- or at least I hope it will be. I'll give you an email when I'm done and you can tell me if I'm on the right track. I do plan to focus on Bitter Sweet while I'm overhauling this story so I think I'll finish it or get a good majority of Bitter Sweet done before giving this one another go. I'm very complimented that you think highly of Bitter Sweet, it seems that I'm doing exactly what I aim to do with that one. I'm very fond of words so I'm happy that you're pleased with the ones in Bitter Sweet. Roya: To be honest, I'm not sure. I'm going to rework MMHTS(this story) and repost it at a later date. It's been pointed out to me that this is bad and I'm going to try and fix that and hope that I don't make it worse. I'm pleased that you miss it so maybe I'll put up the first chapter of the new version or something but I want to get Bitter Sweet done or mostly done first and that might take a while; I think the updates for it(BS) are going to get slower so this might be even longer than expected.

Review Responses for Chapter 5: JtheChosen1: Thank you. I hope for it too. Aduial: That's right, go you! What's pretty cool? That I'm willing to make an update list? Thank you. I'm really glad you like Bitter Sweet so much. If there is an update list I'll add you. CelticThunderFan: LOL. Hmm, I wonder if they will. Do you think they should. I'm glad it's one of your favourites. I've seen a couple of mistakes but it's not bad so I'm happy about that. Okay I'll add you if I start one, I'll need your email address though. dazedandconfused: Really, I kind of thought he was last chapter. But they do seem to be getting along better. Johnny will likely mostly bend to Sterling in the bedroom. Well they are a bonded couple so maybe eventually it will happen. Yeah, I like the be happy part too. snowleopard: LOL. Yeah. You're welcome, sorry for the lateness. They do have an interesting relationship don't they? Yeah, Johnny definitely wouldn't be happy being called adorable. No problem. Lisa: Really? Every sex scene or even regular day to day scene between them won't involve the elemental aspect but some of them will because it will come into play later. Thank you, I'm not sure when the next update will happen though. Will Treaty: I'm particularly fond of them then too. Thank you. lady-me: Um, thanks? Is dead a good thing? Thank you, I do plan to. reader1962: I'm not sure. Probably June 3rd. This would be why I proposed an update list.

So thank you guys for reviewing, it's nice to know that I still have your support when this story isn't so nice for Xander. I loved reading what you guys had to say and hope you continue to review. eleeland: Thank you, I plan to continue. kylee: Hmmm. What you've got to remember is that Xander is still a teen in school that's prone to boredom and defiance (though you don't know that yet since you don't know his age but he is a high-schooler). He waited for over an hour doing nothing so he fell prey to what most kids do when their bored- curiosity. Xander doesn't quite understand the entirety of his agreement with August till a bit after his first time. Yeah he wants to save his sister but he doesn't realize what it entails and he also doesn't quite believe that August is as bad as the rumors- he learns. Am I making sense? If not what would you suggest I do to fix the discrepancy a bit more? CelticThunderFan: I'm happy you reviewed, you don't need to sign in to do that. Yep, six nieces and nephews(the total of them all), and don't even get me started on the godchildren- they've all either been that age or will be eventually. LOL. Xander's wasn't all that smart in provoking him but he'll learn to pick his battles. He won't quite lose his spunk but it will be curbed. I'll try keeping steady updates for both Bitter Sweet and Melt My Heart to Stone. Thank you, I'm glad you still like this story even though things have been a little hard on Xander. Will Treaty: Yeah, it was up a bit later than I wanted but life doesn't exactly give you all the time you want to write. Hmm, would August have went easier on him? Maybe. Though there is a reason he did what he did, besides Xander being rude, that will come up later. Thank you. amandagrayson: Likewise, I've taken to copying the reviews just in case. But I'm glad you stuck through it and reviewed anyway. August is a sad man, you'll see more of it as we get into the story but there is a reason that he is the way he is and even though he's sort of evil he keeps things in order and people safe. Xander wandered through the house, August lives in a huge mansion- it's not that he got lost, more that it's that big. You're welcome.

Review Responses for Chapter 4: dazedandconfused: Johnny's not your average guy. I was trying to give you guys a look at how Johnny was to everybody around him- so basically how Johnny' seems to everyone that doesn't have the sheer stubbornness to ignore his attitude like Sterling. Mischief. That's want Sterling is up to. He won't settle for anything less than what he wants.Nope, they've got pretty even odds. They actually will switch. Bella: You're welcome. Johnny only took a bath to relax, all sexual events took place in his bedroom. I considered writing the exploration session but the chapter was already long enough. And no you don't have to sign up to ask questions on the forum, anyone that isn't a member signs in as a guest automatically. SaiyanMother: Yeah, I guess he is. But he's doing it on his terms. Some random ass guy? What/Who do you mean? And no, Johnny definitely hasn't forgiven his brother. CelticThunderFan: Thank you. Yeah, things won't go as easily as Sterling seems to think they will. Thank you and you're welcome(isn't odd to say both in a sentence like that?). PuddlesIsHer77: Thank you. It might take him a little time but slowly but surely. Aduial: Thank you. I don't have an update system but I'll hold a vote in the next chapter of BS, if a lot of people want it then I'll see what I can do. But besides that I tend to update on Fridays, so if you want to see if I've updated then is a great time to do so. Thank you, I'm glad you like it.

Review Responses for Chapter 1: preciouslittlehope: Nice to know this is one of your favourite stories, hopefully it stays that way. Mischka will be a very good friend to Xander and help him a lot. Thank you, I just knew it was his name when the idea for this story came to me. Oh yeah, Xander gets into a lot of trouble as seen in this chapter. It's not so much his curiosity, it's more his disobedience. You seem to like most of my choices in names. No cameras though. August wouldn't like the idea of someone invading his privacy and watching him at any time. As to your questions about Mischka-those will be answered soon next chapter. CelticThunderFan: He is. Mischka will be very important in the future, if things go as planned. Xander is about to find out just how hardcore August is, it isn't going to be a mistake he accidentally makes again. dazedandconfused: August does sort of test Xander but not because he wants an excuse-he doesn't need one since Xander is his. But you are right, Mischka will be taking care of his injuries next chapter. Will Treaty: Mischka is silent and faceless, he does whatever August wants/needs him to do. Xander didn't forget but he didn't expect him to pick him up like that and was sort of hoping that nothing would happen. August will provide everything he needs for him so Xander doesn't have to. And no, Xander doesn't realize the full repercussions of the deal he makes with August at first. When August is done training him he sends him back to school with his sister. Bella: Xander doesn't lose his phone. And here we have the result of the confrontation(in this chapter). August is...feared- with very good reason. August is in charge and he makes sure everyone knows it. Xander's sister wasn't August's lover but she is his right hand man's lover. snowleopard: You've actually got it the other way around: August melts Xander's heart to stone, though I suppose it works a bit the way you said it too. amandagrayson: Well you haven't missed too much- anything at all really since you found it. Xander does a little bit but August is a caring person it's just a matter of finding the caring and it being a good caring. It isn't good for Xander but he survives. Thank you.

Aww...Well it's still nice to hear from you. Good to know you're still reading. Sorry I didn't notice your message till today, I just checked here randomly. Thanks, I'm getting the impression a lot of people weren't fans- you guys are so loyal to Shika. Though they (Naruto and Kimi) technically date for months so there's gotta be some sex in there. There should be one in a couple of chapters. I'll probably update tonight or tomorrow. So let me ask a question? Why do you want to see Ita/Shika but not Kimi/Naru? Besides the sexy appeal- I mean. Yeah, dorkchic gave me the idea for running Shika and I went with it.

Review Responses for Chapter 3: CelticThunderFan : Yeah, it's a classic case of unstoppable object meet immovable object. You're actually kind of right as seen in this chapter but he went back for more than just Jace. I love chocolate chip cookies too though I'll eat just about anything as long as it's soft, chewy and doesn't have oats in it. dazedandconfused: The bond isn't quite a till death breaks this bond thing. It's more that they're more connected to each other than a lot of people ever will be and they'll be able to feel what the other is thinking/feeling or if the other is in danger. When they both accept it and grow closer together then the bond will get stronger and it will sort of be like they're in each others heads. Or at least I think it will be like that. It's not that Johnny is denying it, he was telling the truth, he doesn't know what it is. Jace isn't a chameleon elemental though he is very powerful. No, Johnny didn't sign anything other than what Sterling said it was that he was signing, he read everything over too. preciouslittlehope: You actually came closer than most people did when you said he didn't realize what the pully thingy was but it's not that he's jealous of Jace it's something else. You're right that he's in for a rude awakening, just not that it's Jace that brings it about. Thank you, and I do celebrate Easter so happy Easter to you too. Will Treaty: I try- to keep my promises that is. Funnily enough, the meetings are completely random and unexpected on both their parts. The bond is equal on both parts... but if one uses it more than the other to tell certain things, who knows? Not so much jealous, it's something else. But you're right, Jace isn't a danger to Johnny- in fact he can be a great ally if he's on your side. Thank you. Bella: And he does to the first part of your review but not so much the second part. The club is built specifically in mind for elementals and their somewhat destructive powers so it's very hard to destroy. And Jace and Johnny aren't interested in each other like that. snowleopard: And you'd be right, somewhat. Not quite married but something less and more than that- it all depends on where they take it and their decisions. Thank you. So you've seen what happened in the club but the better question is: what happens after? He's very good friends with Sterling. I'm happy that you love this story. AbnormalLust: Thank you, I'm glad that you're enjoying Bitter Sweet. Nymph Nyx: LOL. Sometimes I can be evil, I'm pretty sure I'll end it in worse places in the future. But thankfully I update pretty often. amandagrayson: You are right, Johnny always gets his back. Just not in this instance. I think you may have been the first one to think of it quite like that- is Jace a threat or is Johnny jealous. The answer to your question? Jace can be a threat, he can be a very big threat. hitachiintwinlover: I loved your review, lol. It actually might have been what made me decide to update Bitter Sweet instead of Melt My Heart to Stone. Thank you. I'll see what I can do about those weekly updates.
