A: Everyone online creates a fake persona it seems. Since 1992, I have crossed paths with an overwhelming number of con artists who try to get something out of anyone they can connive into believing they actually care. The net does have some areas that are full of crazies of all classes unfortunately. At least here, the structure of our forum lacks the normal pressurized expectation of "pretending to fit in" garbage inherent with so many other places online. I find it refreshing that I can be my normal, opinionated self. Smart ass comments are allowed which is wonderful to get considering what a politically correct minefield the rest of the real world insists upon upholding as unspoken law. It is nice to be able to enjoy the freedom of speaking my mind without too much censure over it. So to all new folks, welcome to AFF's forums, and have fun letting your hair down and undoing those stuffy ties. Some of us might nibble a bit, but we don't really bite unless it is requested. ROFL

Hello there- magusfang. I was just asking about something to do with your interests on your profile. Now please don't take this the wrong way- but does it actually say you like ritalin? I was just asking about that because i've been to the website: http//www.drugfreeworld.com and read all about ritalin. (the side effects of it, what occurs as a result of abusing this drug, what classification of drugs this drug is grouped in, among other important information on all drugs on the market) People can even watch a video of the same documentary i have on dvd: "the truth about drugs" which talks about each classification of drug in terms of the "full run down" on each one if you know what i mean.
There are 11 classifications of drugs talked about in this documentary. What makes this documentary look so good is it has actual drug addicts who used/abused drugs in each of the 11 different categories. I can tell you without rechecking the website myself, ritalin is used for treating adhd (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder) it's also a simulant. I know i used to take it when i was about 14 years old. People who take this drug will be twice as likely to become suicidal as other people. It's a class 2 narcotic prescription drug. Another drug that's exactly the same as it a drug called adderall. (which i also take for awhile too) People can develop ocd (obsessive compulsive disorder) as well.
There's a lot more you can learn from looking at the website address i mentioned. If you just wrote what you did in your profile as a joke, i wouldn't worry about it. I hope it's just a joke. But my lips are sealed if it's not a joke. Anyways, thanks for the pm. I look forward to receiving more pm's from you in the future. Don't forget you can also send me an email to my gmail: cgsblueredyellow2014@gmail.com. Remember- lots of love for all my fellow adult-fanfiction members including you. Bye for now!

Greetings, fine people! I'm Jenn, aka, DharmaCharma. I'm a 30-something year old writer from Atlanta (home of Snowpocalypse 2014!). I have been writing since I was old enough to form letters on paper with a pencil. All throughout school I won awards for creative writing, even though I've never considered myself a particularly good writer. Most of the time, I write short stories (or entire chapters of a novel) and then throw them away. AFF is the first site I have ever shared my work through. In fact, the lovely readers at AFF.net are the only people who have ever read my most recent work. I haven't even shared my stories with my husband. I have written articles for an online content mill the past two years. That earns me a few bucks here and there, but I get terribly bored keyword stuffing SEO pieces, hence why I write fanfiction.
My name was inspired by the television series "Lost". I was one of those people who never watched the show when it was actually cool to watch it. I'm just now watching it (I'm only on season 5, so please, don't tell me how it ends LOL) and I have fallen in love with the characters. I write the way I would tell a story out loud, so oftentimes my grammar, punctuation, or sentence structure may not be flawless. I find that it can take me several sentences to describe and emotion or simple object, so I try very hard to restrain myself, lest I get too verbose. When I write erotica, I tend to stay within themes I'm comfortable with. Basically, if I can't imagine myself doing (or have experienced it) I don't write about it.
I enjoy writing fanfiction, because it allows me to build around characters I'm already familiar with. I can manipulate the plot and put the characters into situations that would never be suitable for television When I'm not writing I'm busy taking care of my toddler nephew while my sister is at work, hanging out with my pre-teen son, knitting, gardening, or baking. I think that is about all for now. I look forward to getting to know all of you.

The same thing famously happened to AnonyMPC, who one day learned that one of his stories was for sale on Amazon. He chose not to fight it, though, because (as his name perhaps implies) he values his anonymity more than his copyright.
I was plagiarized once (that I know of)--some little creep stole two of my stories, changed the titles, and posted them as his own work on DeviantArt. (Fortunately, it only took a threat of reporting him to the site runners to make him take them down.) I got pretty angry about that, so I imagine I would be absolutely furious if someone actually charged people money for my stolen work.

Mailing yourself something in snail mail is the same as getting a notary stamp once it goes through the US Postal Service. It is a legally binding document at that point so long as you never open the envelope, Magus. Poor man's patents do work very well in a court of law because of the Federal stamping system used makes all things legally binding in pretty much all the nations of the world. I doubt that emailing the original draft to yourself first would be anywhere near so binding because computer time stamps can get changed by a good hacker as I understand things.
Suppose I could print out an original copy of my various stories, and snail mail to myself before sharing. Then I would be able to win easy enough were I to share my originals, and they got ripped off. However, I am trying to get back into the business of being published because I really do need the second income. I'm not like J.K. Rowling who is constantly having to smack fan fiction sites and bloggers who decide to play with very well known Harry Potter trademarks by changing a gender or a name out and the rest is her writing skills. Money is always pretty tight in my home. Plus, I don't have a big publisher behind me either.
To be honest, the Urbis fiasco was avoidable, but I screwed up big time. Skipping the real poor man's patent because the novel was incomplete is what ruined my chances, and I hold myself fully accountable for the stupid mistake I made. It did not occur to me that the characters and chapters I had posted for initial feedback would be hijacked and used by another person who would take my early chapters and then wrote their own middle and final chapters version of the story I had begun. They did tweak the opening chapters I had shared, but not so much that I could miss my own writing style. To be honest, they ruined the original idea I had, but such is the way of life. My screw up taught me a valuable lesson I will never forget.
Guess you could say the first novel was far too close to my heart when it happened to me. Some day, I'll get over myself. ROFL. Just hasn't happened quite yet. I still have the 3 inch binder of the original cast notes, and all the research and biology stuff needed. I have done some tweaks to the character casts and have done a fair amount of biology and history mini documents, name changes, physical looks alterations, and can switch chapters around easy enough to make a new story that is still capable of carrying my original 5 novels through as I want them to be written. Some day I will get the 5 novels intended back on track, but as of yet, I simply have not been able to get past the theft due to my own sloppiness because someone stole my darlings and screwed up my novels due to being indecent human beings.
Tearing apart the first few chapters really hurts because I know someone else made money off of my hard work. Guess I became something of a scaredy cat, although I do not think any of the current originals in my computer as anywhere near as great as the chapters I posted on Urbis. ROFL. Goofy me still hurts over the theft by another writer, and probably always will. Some compliments are way too damned painful in the end. The income loss being the worst part when my kid was still pretty young, and I was struggling to feed him every single day. So yeah, I screwed up, and will never skip poor man's patents ever again so long as I live.

I've had to file takedown notices for my published work. I found it on pirate sites, and did get it taken down. It's the stuff I'm publishing online, for free. I mean, really... just read it, and if you're needing to download it to read offline, just tell me. I'm pretty approachable, I think, and more than likely, I won't have an issue with it. It's the surreptitious stuff that bugs me.
We do indeed have a timestamp of when a story was first published with us, and provided you haven't taken it down and reposted it, that date will be there forever. FFN does the same thing, and so does AO3. Any reputable site will do so, I find.

I don't think people have any real honor left in many quarters, Bronx. They see too many Banker gangsters/Wall Street Thugs getting bailed by the Feds instead of going to jail for rigging toxic assets. Now a lot of folks really think they can do all sorts of bad things and get by with it is my thought. I hope you will take precautions because the few things I've managed to read for you are all good reading. I'd hate for you to be the next victim.

I didn't know the author's writing, but that really sucks. Bah, what a downer.

I write original stuff that I post here, and sometimes on my blog as well. I also write original work that I actually publish. So, honestly, I have very mixed feelings as an author about people downloading my work. Just my tuppence, but I'd actually rather that people didn't download my online works. I really do mean it when I say that all rights are reserved by me.

So, going to the range next week...any takers

A little situational awareness is never a bad thing!

9 Most Dangerous Words Used By A Woman
______________________________________________________
1) Fine
This is the word women use to end an argument when they are right, and you need to shut up.
2) Five Minutes
If she is getting dressed, this means a half an hour. “Five minutes” is only five minutes if you have just been given five more minutes to watch the game before helping around the house.
3) Nothing
This is the calm before the storm. This means something, and you should be on your toes. Arguments that begin with “nothing” usually end in “fine.”
4) Go Ahead.
This is a dare, not permission. Don’t Do It!
5) Loud Sigh
This is actually not a word, but is a non-verbal statement often misunderstood by men. A loud sigh means she thinks you are an idiot and wonders why she is wasting her time standing there and arguing with you about nothing. (Refer back to #3 for the meaning of “Nothing.”)

6) That’s OK.
This is one of the most dangerous statements a women can make to a man. “That’s OK” means she wants to think long and hard before deciding how and when you will pay for your mistake.
7) Thanks
A woman is thanking you. Do not question or faint, just say, “You’re welcome.” (I want to add in a clause here: This is true, unless she says “Thanks a lot.” Now, that is PURE sarcasm, and she is not thanking you at all. DO NOT say, “You’re welcome” in this scenario because that will bring on a “Whatever.”)
8 ) Whatever
This is a woman’s way of saying “F– YOU!”

9) Don’t worry about it. I got it.
Another dangerous statement, this means there is something that a woman has told a man to do several times, but is now doing it herself. This will later result in a man asking, “What’s wrong?” For the woman’s response, refer to #3.

World Cup Quote (That's right, I folded - don't judge me!)
"We lost because we didn't win."
-Renaldo (Brazilian Linker, evidently he only has one name, like Madonna)
I think that about covers it. Another one I liked.
"Football is a simple game, 22 men chase a little ball around a field for three hours and in the end, the Germans win!"
Collin Brent (English Defender)

“It is not a lack of love, but a lack of friendship that makes unhappy marriages.”
― Friedrich Nietzsche

Vale chuckled ruefully. "No, I don't suppose you've ever seen a balor, have you? It's a kind of demon, and on a scale of one to ten for nastiness, I'd put it at about a twelve." He moved a little closer to Kansas but still kept enough distance between them to remain non-threatening. "I didn't go on that vacation expecting to fall in love with Yuji. I didn't expect Yuji to fall in love with me. The last thing I want is to damage what you've built between you, the four of you." Vale sighed. "So, tell me, Kansas, what did I do wrong? Do you think I want to take Yuji and Willow and Satoshi away from you? Because I don't."
Vale risked moving a little closer to Kansas, but still more than arms length away. He knew he could reach the younger man if need be, if he thought Kansas was going to hurt himself, or do something foolish, but he was fairly sure that Kansas did not know just how fast an elf could move.
"Kansas, I want to be a part of this family, if I can. I want to fit in, not break it. Will you help me? Or should I go?" Vale watched Kansas, his heart aching. "I won't take Satoshi away from you. I won't take Yuji away from you. I'm not asking you to fall in love with me, but if you should know that I do feel love for you, because Yuji loves you." Vale sighed again. "I'm afraid, too, Kansas. It would be so easy to break this, to ruin it, and I wouldn't be able to live with myself if I did that. I can't say this to Yuji, because I can't bring myself to tell him how afraid I am of making a mistake. I can tell you, because I think you understand."
Vale took a quick breath and closed the distance between them, sitting on the bench and gathering Kansas to him. "Talk to me, Kansas. Help me fix what I've done wrong."

Sitting on his large square bench on the rooftop, Kansas smoked so hard his lungs ached, his knees were drawn up under his chin, his thin arm wrapped around his shins as tight as he could.
When he heard the door open behind him he gasped loudly, his tears wetting his knees, and the sob wracked through his chest hard enough to hurt.
Glancing over his shoulder, his eyes grey as rain, his tried to shout with anger but it only came out as a painful croak,
"I don't even know what that means, you stupid..." he sobbed again, a new bout of cries making him shake visibly, but he did not tell Vale to go away.
Downstairs Satoshi stood by the stairs, waiting in agony. Yuji came up behind him, the mithral necklace in his hand, but Satoshi didn't accept it.
"You want to go up there?" Yuji asked, and Satoshi nodded, then changed his mind.
"He hasn't started screaming yet, so I guess it's alright. This is what we were talking about after we put the kids to bed. I could feel that he had something on his chest, and I thought he had let it all out. Maybe he was expecting you two to talk to him too before we take Vale in. I don't know. Sometimes that kid is like an open book for me, and then the next minute he could just as well be from the moon."
Yuji kissed Satoshi's temple and pulled him back to the couch, offering to put the necklace around his neck, but Satoshi refused,
"No. I want Vale to do it, after he's spoken with Kansas. Also if Kansas refuses I don't know...."
Satoshi let his words trail off as he poured himself another whiskey.

Vale was trembling with relief when Yuji accepted the necklace from him, and he stroked Yuji's cheek lovingly. "I'm glad, my love."
When Willow knelt in front of Vale, he was surprised to find he was still trembling as he fastened the chain around her slim neck. Her kiss was slow and soft, and Vale wondered if she would deepen it, but she did not. He heard her comment, and looked at her, his green eyes slightly moist from his sudden rush of emotion. Thanks to Wench, he had an idea of what she meant, and his heart swelled with love for this gentle woman with her generous heart.
"Willow? If I'm understanding that correctly, I am," Vale said. "It's about the heart, not the gender, at least for most elves."
Vale waited, as Yuji asked, for Satoshi to decide. When Satoshi also accepted the necklace from Vale, the elf could not hide his joy. The last thing Vale had wanted was to disrupt this family, and it seemed that he had not, that they had room in their hearts for one slightly puzzled but loving elf.
"Satoshi, thank you," Vale murmured. He touched Satoshi's cheek gently, and smiled. "I didn't know Ryuu meant dragon, but Yuji showed my a picture. Ryuu's eyes reminded me of a dragon I met once."
Then Kansas jumped to his feet and stormed up the stairs, and Vale looked at Yuji and Willow in dismay. "Oh, no, I have to go to him!" Vale was on his feet and halfway up the stairs before anyone could react, his heart clenching in his chest. He knew that Kansas carried some pain within him, some terrible hurt. Somehow, he had made it worse. He had threatened the imp's stability, and he had to fix this.
Vale paused to listen for Kansas, his keen sense of hearing directing him to the roof. He found the stairs that led to the rooftop terrace, and he hurried up them, opening the door slowly.
"Kansas?" Vale said, as softly and as gently as he could. "Please, can I talk to you?" He could see the slight form, a cigarette between his lips, puffing furiously, as clearly as if it were daylight. "You can go tell me to bugger a balor later if you want, but can we talk first?" Vale waited, barely breathing, to see if the imp would at least listen.

Yuji noticed the unease in Vale, but Satoshi and Kansas arriving made him forget for a second. And then Kansas, the rude little imp, brought up the presents.
Kansas' face lit up when Vale handed him the box, then he laughed loudly, a blush darkening his cheeks, when Vale said,
"We call it an imp box."
His eyes darkened to stone grey while Vale showed him how to play the toy, and Kansas set it on the low coffee table to study it closely. His eyebrows knotted together over his little nose and his slender fingers poked and prodded carefully, trying to figure out the puzzle of the box. He was completely absorbed in the fantastical toy that he paid no attention to the other gifts.
Satoshi laughed delightedly at the magical lighter, and bowed his head deeply at Vale,
"Thank you very much. I will treasure this. It never runs out you say? That's great."
"That'll come in handy. No more empty Zippo's or wet Bic's for you." Yuji said with a playful wink, and Satoshi blushed crimson,
"Shut up, you..." he mumbled and all three of his partners laughed loudly.
When Vale's face became quizzical Willow smiled at him and explained,
"Satoshi collects a brand of lighters that are called Zippo. They need fluid gas to work, but he can never remember to fill them. Bic is a type of disposable lighters that hardly ever work properly, especially not in windy or wet weather. So, Satoshi is always running around looking for someone who can lend him a light for his cigarettes."
They all laughed again, even Satoshi chuckled a little, but his face was still smartly crimson under his pinegreen bangs.
When Vale handed Willow the leather bound book her blue-grey eyes filled with tears and her lips trembled.
The three men in her life all made soft groaning noises, but all of them smiled lovingly, as Willow stroked the soft leather as if she was stroking the skin of a lover, her fingers easing the book open reverently. When Vale leaned over to give her a kiss, she grabbed his cheek, answering the kiss with a soft lingering kiss of her own. Then she sniffled loudly and with a trembling voice said,
"Thank you so much. It's beautiful."
Then Vale brought out the presents for the two children and Willow let the presents pass between the two father's while making low sound of admiration.
Satoshi studied the miniature dragon for a long time, then looked up at Vale asking in a surprised tone,
"You knew that Ryuu means dragon?"
Willow took both gifts from the men and put them on a table behind the couch, and told Vale,
"I would like you to give the presents to the kids yourself in the morning. They're both still a little shy with you, but presents are always a good way to break the ice with children."
Finally it came to Yuji's present and he was pleasantly surprised that Vale had chosen a bottle of wine. When Vale explained what the drink was Yuji started to smile, and almost said that it was impossible to distill sunshine. He caught himself just in time and reminded himself that he was after all talking to an elf.
Instead he received the bottle with reverence and tugged Vale down for a kiss. Setting the bottle down on the table he mused out loud,
"It looks so beautiful that I don't think I'd want to drink from it."
He bit his lip when Vale mentioned that his people drank this to celebrate unions. He tugged Vale over for another, gentler kiss and whispered,
"Then we shall shared it at our union."
Willow and Satoshi smiled brightly and nodded, but at the mention of a union Kansas looked up, and his eyes turned light in only a few heartbeats.
The mithral charm glittered in the soft light of the living room and Yuji had to look away for a moment to hide his tears. His body shivered almost imperceptibly as Vale hung the jewel around his neck, and his lips quivered when Vale kissed him.
"I am honoured to wear this. I am honoured to be a part of your family." Yuji whispered into the kiss, then looked at his three partners with tear moistened eyes.
Willow rose from her seat by Satoshi and knelt in front of Vale. She touched his cheek, and said quietly,
"I do not know you as well as Yuji or the others, but I do already have strong feelings for you. Otherwise I would never have agreed to this. I would be honoured to be a part of your family." She pulled her hair up to allow Vale to hang the chain around her neck. Then rising to her feet again, she bent over Vale and caught his lips between hers, giving him a proper kiss, although only with lips. Breaking the kiss slowly she made a little purring sound in her throat and turned to Yuji for a quick nip of a kiss. Turning back to her seat, she muttered loud enough for everyone to hear her,
"Still wish you were at least a little bi."
Satoshi sat quiet, staring at the elf, his eyes unreadable, and Yuji touched Vale's thigh gently to indicate patience, he whispered,
"Give him a moment."
After long quiet minutes Satoshi took a deep drink from his glass, emptying it, then he rose from his seat as well, and stood in front of Vale.
"I accept." He said simply, with a soft smile, and bowed his head at Vale.
Kansas jumped to his feet loudly and stormed up the stairs.

Vale's eyes widened when Willow informed him that he would be sleeping in the master bedroom with Yuji, and that she would be moving to the spare bedroom. He snuck a quick glance at Yuji, and noted a slight embarrassment in his eyes, which made Vale feel a little uncomfortable. It had never been Vale's intention to replace Willow in any way, and although the love between Yuji and Willow seemed strong, Vale felt slightly queasy. To cover his unease, he took a sip of the whiskey Yuji had poured for him.
"I don't want to disrupt anything," Vale said carefully. "I hope that some nights, I'll be the odd man out." He looked at Willow, wishing that she would understand that he intended to share Yuji equally. Then he looked at Yuji, and smiled.
"I'm very ready to wear a symbol of our union. I hope I'm not presuming when I say I feel a part of this family already. I feel welcomed, and loved, and that makes me happier that I could have imagined." Vale would have said more, but Satoshi and Kansas joined them. As Yuji got their drinks, Satoshi promised Vale a tour of the house in the morning, and his mention of a rooftop terrace made the elf's eyes light up.
They settled in comfortable silence for a moment, sipping their drinks, and Vale was struck by how very right this seemed, to be sitting beside Yuji, and surrounded by Yuji's other lovers. There was just something about the man, something in his boundless capacity to love others that made him so very easy to love, and Vale cherished being a part of this unusual but perfect family.
Kansas looked a bit forlorn, though, and Vale would have asked him what was wrong, but Kansas spoke first. "Did I hear someone mention gifts?"
Vale laughed and jumped up. "I almost forgot again! I wanted to bring something for each of you, just something small to show you how I feel." Vale hurried over to his suitcase, and rummaged for a moment, coming out with several packages. He returned to the couch and curled up next to Yuji.
"I'll start with you, Kansas." Vale handed the blue and black haired imp a wooden box inlaid with tiny glittering tiles and rounded gemstones. When Kansas touched a tile or stone, the box made a sound or sent a small burst of color into the air that coalesced into an image of a fantastical creature. "It's a puzzle toy, of sorts. You can make light shows, or music, or both, and if you touch this place," Vale tapped a diamond shaped inlay, "it'll remember what you tap after that until you touch it again. We call it an imp box." The elf grinned mischievously. "There's a secret, too, but you have to figure it out to get the prize." He kissed Kansas on the forehead as he stared at him, wide-eyed.
Next Vale turned to Satoshi. "I actually wasn't sure this would work here, but it does." He handed Satoshi a delicately filigreed cylinder with a small ruby in the center on one side. When Satoshi tapped the ruby, a blue flame appeared. "It'll light anytime, and anywhere, even in wet conditions, and it won't ever run out. There's a case for your cigarettes, too." He handed Satoshi the matching case, and kissed his cheek.
"This is for you, Willow." Vale handed Willow a leather bound volume, the pages all fine parchment. "It's a book of elven poetry. It's in my language, and in yours. The poems were written a very long time ago to commemorate the poet's love for his lady." Vale's cheeks were slightly pink as she took the book from him with a smile. He leaned over Yuji to plant a light kiss on her lips. "I have things for the children, too." He handed Willow an elaborately carved and articulated wooden dragon, tiny bits of inlay making the dragon shimmer. "For Ryuu, because he's got wise eyes like a dragon," he explained. "This is for Aika." He gave Willow a feather-soft silken pegasus. "Some of the moon elves ride these wonderful creatures. They're rare, and magical, and very beautiful, like she is."
"For you, Yuji, I brought this." Vale's eyes were dancing as he handed Yuji a bottle filled with a ruby colored liquid. Small golden flecks danced in it. "It's called Elverquisst," the elf explained. "It's made from rare summer fruits, and magically distilled to include the essence of sunshine. We drink it at our autumn rituals, because when you taste it, it's like tasting one perfect summer's day." Vale was blushing a little more. "It's also sometimes shared at celebrations, like unions."
Vale reached for one last thing, a velvet pouch. "I wasn't sure about this part, but the way you've all welcomed me..." His voice trailed off, and he looked at the four people sitting around him. "I'm what we call a sun elf, and it's been our tradition to have a symbol of our family, our house. My family uses the anorongil, the dawn star as our symbol." He opened the pouch and drew out a silvery chain with a small shimmering gem set in a many-rayed star of the same metal. "The metal is mithral." He looked at Yuji. "Will you wear this?" He carefully fastened the chain around his lover's neck, and then kissed him softly on the lips.
"I have one for each of you, if you'll accept them." Vale looked at his lover's family, hoping they would agree.

Yuji lay his head on Vale's shoulder for a moment when he mentioned eating and at that moment his stomach growled.
"Yeah, I guess I do need to eat. And I do need to talk to them. I have been anything but myself lately." Yuji said with a faint blush, pulling on his clothes quickly. He chuckled at the enthusiasm in Vale's voice when the spoke of Aika, and with a lopsided grin Yuji said,
"If we're lucky you might see her take her very first steps. So far she only walks when she has something to hold onto. We are still waiting for her start walking."
At the mention of gifts Yuji made a tiny frown but hid it the moment he realized the at it meant a lot to Vale to come bearing gifts. Then Vale indicated the silver charm Yuji had given him for safekeeping and Yuji blushed a little at the deep love in Vale's voice.
Yuji stepped closer to the elf and stole a small kiss, his eyes guarded when he answered,
"I only asked you keep it safe for me. You wear it until we find a more permanent token of my love." With those words he lifted his left hand to show the elf the three thin rings on his ring finger. One white gold, one red gold, and one yellow gold. One for each of his lovers, that shared him equally.
Once they were dressed Yuji took the elf by the hand and lead him downstairs again. At the bottom of the stairs they were met by Satoshi and Kansas, holding the children sleepy and dressed in their pyjamas. Yuji kissed Ryuu on the top of the head, then took his daughter out of Kansas' arms to give her a good hug, and a kiss on each cheek.
"Good night, little dragon. Good night, my little love song." he said to the children respectively, then handed Aika back to Kansas, and the two lovers went upstairs to put the children to bed.
Willow stood in the kitchen waiting for them, her arms wrapped around Yuji's waist and he dug his nose into her thick light auburn hair.
"You are feeling better?" she whispered, her voice almost reverent, and Yuji nodded,
"Yes, love. I'm much better. I am so sorry for the way I have been. I guess my sorrow at my parting was greater than I realized."
Willow smiled and winked at Vale, as she pulled Yuji towards the dining table, where the food stood still, in containers that retained the heat.
Yuji ate two full portions before he sat back on his chair, and moaned blissfully,
"Oh, wow. I was much hungrier than I thought. Let's sit on the couch. Vale do you want whiskey?" Yuji said as he rose from the table, and carried the dishes to the sink, Willow clearing the rest of the table, Vale picking up a few items to try and make himself useful.
The three of them sat down on the couch, Yuji bringing four tumblers and a bottle of very fine whiskey. They heard Satoshi and Kansas walk around on the second floor, and Yuji sat up straight in the middle of the couch between his wife and his new lover.
Willow lounged back against the arm rest at the end of the over sized couch, her toes digging under Yuji's thighs.
"Vale. Since you are Yuji's preferred lover now you will be sleeping in the master bedroom with him. I will be sleeping in the small room next to Ryuu's bedroom. That is sort of the fallback room in this house. On the rare occasion that someone becomes the odd man out here, they sleep there. But you will need to use the closet in that room, I'm afraid. All of your clothes and such will need to be kept there. Are you alright with that?" Willow smiled warmly at the elf, taking a small sip at her whiskey and soda. Yuji's eyes were a little embarrassed, but he smiled too, and said with a hint of laughter in his voice,
"Once you see her closet you'll understand."
Willow kicked him lightly with on the leg, making a sound of objection.
Clearing his throat a little and taking a long swallow of his whiskey, Yuji didn't dare to look up at Vale, as he spoke,
"I would also like to go soon and find a more permanent token of my love. If you feel ready to wear a symbol of our union that is. When you are ready, I would like to give you something. I don't think I can add another ring on this hand though, but there's always the right hand."
Yuji smiled his goofy grin and glanced up at Vale, still feeling uncertain about the depth of the elf's commitment.
Their talk was halted when Satoshi and Kansas came back down the stairs, both smelling heavily of cigarette smoke and outside air, and Satoshi promised to give Vale the grand tour of the house in the morning, mentioning a rooftop terrace. Yuji poured whiskey out for the two, Satoshi taking it like Yuji, on ice, but Kansas with soda.
Satoshi pushed Yuji to the side, into Vale's arms and sat down behind Willow, allowing her to curl up in his embrace. Kansas sat down on the floor next to the coffee table, close by Satoshi's feet, his eyes dark and hooded and a sad look upon his face. A gentle silence settled over the living room, a silence that was broken by Kansas' voice when he asked,
"Did I hear someone mention gifts?"

" I've missed you," Vale confided, lathering Yuji's back and massaging his shoulders. "Every night, my reverie was filled with you. I walked in my memories of each time we made love." Vale nuzzled into the back of Yuji's neck, wrapping his arms around his lover. "I'm sorry I took so long. I promise, I'll stay this time, until you send me away."
Yuji turned Vale around so he could wash the elf's long blond hair, listening to him all but purr as Yuji massaged his scalp with his strong musician's fingers. Vale's head fell back, the mark on his long throat vivid against his pale skin. Vale let Yuji rinse his hair, and then he turned around to face the man. Long fingers crept up to the mark, and green eyes filled with laughter met Yuji's own eyes. "You claimed me. I'm yours." The elf laughed in delight. "I love you, Yuji. Don't send me away too soon."
They finished showering and toweled each other off, rediscovering the feel and taste and scent of each other. Vale stopped to kiss where he had dried, until Yuji caught his face between his hands and pulled him into a kiss. "We'll need another shower if you don't stop," Yuji warned.
Vale laughed again, wrapping his arms around Yuji and pulling him into a warm embrace. "You need to eat, first. Willow will want to know you're feeling better, and Satoshi, and Kansas."
They padded back into the bedroom, and Vale looked ruefully at his clothing. The boxers were a total loss, and Vale simply shrugged and reached for his jeans. "Oh, and the children! They're even more beautiful in person. Aika sat on my lap." Vale made it sound like Aika had done something marvelous. "I have presents for them. I have presents for everyone." Vale blushed a little. "I never took mine off," he said, touching the silver charm Yuji had placed around his neck back before they had left the vacation house. "I brought it back to you, like you asked."

Yuji screamed when the tight ass spasmed around his cock, and two thrusts later Yuji was spilling himself deep into the searing heat. He let himself fall on top of Vale, latching his teeth onto the pulse point under the elf's chin and sucking the skin, he worked it with his teeth, marking Vale as his, until he tasted the metallic hint of blood.
His flaccid cock slipped out of Vale's ass but Yuji lay still on top of his lover, head resting on his shoulder, his breath strained and rapid.
Vale's heart was hammering in his chest, in beat with Yuji's heart, and they lay still for long minutes wrapped around each other.
Rising up on his arms above Vale, Yuji smiled down at the blond elf, stroking his cheek slowly,
"You're finally here. I've been so lost without you. My world has been all wrong, and my dreams have been so full of fear. I have been so afraid that I would never see you again. I love you."
He said, his voice husky and raw. Vale smiled up at Yuji and tugged him down for a slow kiss. Yuji lingered above him, answering the kiss with equal lethargy. After a few moments Yuji pulled Vale to his feet and without ever leaving the elf's lips Yuji pulled him towards the ensuite bathroom, where they took a long slow shower, washing each other with care.

Vale let out a wanton moan as his fingers wrapped around his cock. Yuji's punishing thrusts and repeated assaults on his prostate had the elf's head whipping from side to side, blond hair clinging to his damp forehead as he pumped his fist furiously. Yuji leaned down and licked Vale's ear before biting the pointed tip sharply, and Vale howled as his balls drew up sharply and a hot stream of cum shot out to spatter Yuji's stomach and chest. His back arched as he spasmed around Yuji's cock, and it was Yuji's turn to let out a strangled groan as the heat and tightness combined to push him to the brink.
