Liked the idea of Tamara and Mason. I think they would make such a suitable couple

Liking the idea of Tamara and Mason

Mixed reaction to "Masara" (Tamson?). I admit my thought processes didn't go much beyond "Which past character would be around Mason's age?" but actually I think they'd probably fit: She's waspish enough to keep him in line and she could probably do with someone indiscreet but well-meaning. I might write a bit more for them!

Looks like things didn't end well between Evelyn (I'll call her that just for you ) and Spencer. He always did get walked over!

Oh dear did something happen between Spencer and Evelyn?

You will have to wait and learn the story for Spencer and Evelyn (thanks, Ludub!) but at least he's got Skye now!

Again, you write Alf so well!

Thanks! There are times when I'm worried he's sounding a bit too normal and generic but it's amazing how far a few Alfisms will get you!

Not surprised that Tamara is in this .... I rem how much you liked her.

 

The Alfisms were indeed coooool esp. You’d think a bloke was dying.”  and "And don’t give me a big speech about how much I mean to you or how much of a difference I’ve made to your life or I really am going to want to cark it.”

 

looking fwd to more

Really? My memory is that I took an awfully long time to warm to her (I was never really a fan of her with Casey). But I guess once I did, I did use her in a few fictions.I certainly liked her at the end, it felt like she left just as she was coming into her own.

Glad you liked the Alfisms!

Have just looked back through some of my own fan fics and I realised that the person is was thinking of when I wrote my comment [bout you liking Tamara] was actually LOTTIE. it's like, I thought I got Rosie & Tamara together in my fics, and then Tamara got together later with Chris, but no, Rosie "merely" tried to kiss Tamara and then got together with Lottie [and then I had Lottie/Chris] ..... who, yeah, I KNOW you like.  Hope that all makes sense.

Ah yep, that sounds more like it!

Great chapter

shocked Evie got rid of her and Spencer's child.

Heath,April and Kyle walking in on Darcy and Hunter.

Loved the flashbacks Poor Leah being raped makes sense Billie asking since she went through the it well I assume she did in this?

Update again soon

 

[Kellicopter]

Wow! Awesome chapter.

I was so confused in the flashback scene, I guess I didn't register that it was a flashback and I wondered how Alf was suddenly okay to be looking after kids 

Also love how Dexter is with his sisters sister  (I know that's mixing soap with real life but it makes me laugh!)

On a more serious note though this progressed a LOT in one chapter. Poor Leah  

[Ludub]

Wow! So much in here! I can understand why Spencer is so hostile towards Evie now, although I think Evie had every right to make that decision. It's not easy. It's lovely that Ricky and Kyle got to have a child together, and that Marilyn did that for them  Loved the scene with Hunter and Heath! Hunter's a brave fella to be making out with Darcy where there's even a chance of Heath catching him, very funny! And, oh God, poor Leah!  Really enjoying this x

I think at an early stage Spencer and Evelyn were still going to be together.Then I changed it to them having dated and then broke up at which point it became a case of "So what?" So I needed something big to have happened between them and hopefully you can see both sides.

I think that scene was a late idea but it gave me an opportunity to have some Heath/Kyle interaction, some more of Heath and April, and also actually use Hunter and Darcy, who hadn't appeared since we found out they were together.

I'm slightly worried about this one, since it's only in flashback so there's not really the opportunity to deal with the fallout.(I tried to drop some very subtle hints in the early scenes.)Yes, the cut-off point for series continuity was after Billie's rape so that still happened.Basically, in this fiction Stefan is the child she had as a result of the rape.

Thanks, Kelli (can I call you that?), welcome aboard! If you want more Dexter and Lottie, feel free to check out preceding fic Look to the Future if you haven't already. I'm afraid they're not actually in this one!

You know, I've got this odd feeling that Ricky had her ovaries removed, which kind of scuppers my big idea.I checked the episode where she had the surgery and there was no mention of it but I still have a feeling it was mentioned later... If so, she had an egg frozen at some point! I loved the idea too much not to use it.
