From the Cup of the Worthless

First, I would like to say that I had a feeling that Dante might want to begin living a straight life. Glad to see his Uncle will let him.

Second, I really liked the treatment you gave to the love scene with Nobu and Viktor. It takes a really good writer to turn what would be an ordinary "wank" scene, into such a tender moment.

One of the best chapters you've written, Cynus.

Thanks, Al. :) Chapter 17 is actually my favorite chapter in the story. Although I'm sure plenty will enjoy it for the scene between Nobuyuki and Viktor, the reason I love it is because of Dante. I really came to understand Dante and his motivations, here. This is the part of the story where I decided Dante was the hero (I've always considered Nobuyuki to be a bit of an antihero). I'm not ashamed to admit that when I wrote Dante talking to his uncle, I actually cried a little bit. This is the first time my characters felt 100% real to me, and I'll cherish the chapter forever because of it.

Even if the chapter never has the same level of impact on any of the readers, it will always remain that important to me.

Daisuke's treason is finally revealed. But at what cost? Masahiro barely escaped with his life.

Things seem to be coming to a head here, and I think I know who that voice is that Daisuke was talking to. The clues are there and I don't think I've misread them... But time will tell.

And now we've reached a point where Daisuke may reveal the answers. I guess we'll have to see if you're right or not. :)

The cliff hanger from last time meant this was at the top of my reading list this week. I wasn't disappointed. Thank goodness for protective big brothers! (and uncles)

Al, I am pretty sure I know who Daisuke spoke with as well and I believe Masahiro suspects this person too.

An exciting, intriguing, well-written story that I look forward to each week.

Thanks, Cynus!

Nice action scene!

It was a bit of a surprise to see who was tailing whom, but not entirely unexpected. Several small reveals in the alignment of the various factions... And it is really hard to discuss this chapter without throwing out a lot of spoilers!

And I thank you for not spoiling anything. Your comments and compliments are always appreciated, Al. Thank you. :) Daisuke . . . I've never revealed this before, but I actually love him. A lot. I'm excited for everyone to find out why, and to see how everyone else feels.

THank you for reading it, and taking the time to comment. That uncle in there is my second favorite character in the whole story, second only to his nephew. They're practically the same personality, though, so I maybe that's why . . . (Of course, he's modeled off one of my crushes, so that probably has something to do with it, too.)

We'll know how much Masahiro knows next time around. Oh Masahiro . . . poor Masahiro . . . poor Daisuke . . . I can't wait to see what you think!


Thanks again!
