Natasha's Reality Check: The Final Countdown 1
http://realitycheckverse.blogspot.com/2012/11/the-final-countdown-1.html
Saturday, November 17, 2012. The Final Countdown 1. The Final Countdown 1. Milton looked up to see Tilden hovering in the doorway, his hands stuffed in his pockets, his head down as if the worn floor was fascinating. “Tilden? 8220;Uh—nothing.”. 8220;For a man who is fluent in more languages than I can count, that response doesn’t inspire confidence. Come in. I’m only shuffling these papers around for the tenth time.”. 8220;College or the Green Mountain Boys? 8220;It would be deserved,” Milton said ...

Natasha's Reality Check: Swimming Series
http://realitycheckverse.blogspot.com/2012/10/swimming-series.html
Friday, October 5, 2012. 8221; Milton couldn’t keep the exasperation out of his voice. He’d thought this remote corner of Vermont would keep Blade out of trouble. Naive, he chided himself. This boy could find trouble on an uninhabited island. 8220;We were trying to break the world record,” Blade said, water dripping off his hair and down his flushed face. 8220;Skinny dipping. The record’s 400. We had 425.”. 8220;How did you find all those people? 8221; Milton asked wearily. Swimming in the Buff. 8220;Bla...

Natasha's Reality Check: Austin's Diary Day 1
http://realitycheckverse.blogspot.com/2012/11/austins-diary-day-1.html
Friday, November 16, 2012. Austin's Diary Day 1. Day 1 The Beginning. Uh, Milton, the Volcanic, is standing over me. I guess knocking is out of fashion with the old guys. I've gotta go now. Milton thinks I'm just a kid. It doesn't matter what I think of him. I can't have him; I'm too old to wish for the impossible. I don't believe in fairies and warlocks and happy endings. I've had some happy ending in my life. He's a child.". I'd feel very differently if he was fifteen or if he hadn't already lived in t...

Natasha's Reality Check: Green Pastures 1
http://realitycheckverse.blogspot.com/2015/04/green-pastures-1.html
Monday, April 20, 2015. Sheldon shouted. Nothing. He wasn. T up here. He wasn. T over the garage. He was going to kill that boy. Yeah, right, if there was anything left after Master found out. Sheldon had heard the conversation last week. Probably the whole house had heard it. Austin was a sweet and wonderful boy ninety percent of the time, but when he had a bee in his bonnet, he was a demon. Last week he. D been a demon. Sheldon got it, not that he hadn. T sympathized with Master. T likely to survive th...

Natasha's Reality Check: Negotiations for the New Year
http://realitycheckverse.blogspot.com/2013/05/negotiations-for-new-year.html
Friday, May 3, 2013. Negotiations for the New Year. Negotiations for the New Year. 8220;You knew. How long have you known? 8221; Milton knew there was too much snap in his voice as Landon drew his brows together and turned his full stare on Milton. This was a Landon well away from his submissive side, a Landon who could have a blistering tongue. 8220;You encouraged this.”. Milton raked his fingers through his hair and leaned against the glass wall. He could feel the outside cold through his sweater, ...

Natasha's Reality Check: Negotiations I
http://realitycheckverse.blogspot.com/2012/11/negotiations-i.html
Thursday, November 15, 2012. Sheldon ran his finger over the placemat, tangling in the red and gold fringe. The placemats were ugly, worn, and spotted. Someone really should have given Trent some new ones for Christmas. It was the tops who always went for practical gifts. These placemats had been on the table the first year they did this. Did they have to keep doing this? 8220;Do we have to do this? His head hurt; he was tired, and his chest still hurt. The damn nipple rings were about as comfortable...

Natasha's Reality Check: Blade's Story
http://realitycheckverse.blogspot.com/2012/10/blades-story.html
Friday, October 5, 2012. 8220;Do you have your tickets and your phone? 8220;Yes, Gordon,” Blade said for the umpteenth time. He might have said something else, but they weren’t the only ones at the station, and Blade had spent enough time in Gordon’s tender mercies to know the old geezer wasn’t shy with the swats and could still pack one hell of a wallop. 8220;Tone, boy.”. 8220;Yes, sir,” Blade muttered through gritted teeth. Blade barely refrained from snorting. Andrew was an old codger who, as far ...

Natasha's Reality Check: Luke's Journey 1
http://realitycheckverse.blogspot.com/2013/11/lukes-journey-1.html
Monday, November 4, 2013. Luke’s Journey 1. 8220;Luke, what time is it? 8221; Milton asked, trying to keep the exasperation out of his voice. Luke was late again, and he was running around the house like a ghost afraid of the exorcist with the holy water. 8220;I needed to leave ten minutes ago. I can’t find my books.”. 8220;I’ll be OK,” Luke said, gulping and blanching to an unusual pallor. 8220;I’ll make it by train,” Luke mumbled as he climbed into the car. Luke," Milton said after they'd wound through...

Natasha's Reality Check: A Family Affair
http://realitycheckverse.blogspot.com/2012/11/a-family-affair.html
Friday, November 16, 2012. 8220;Austin, how was school today? 8221; Milton asked as he passed the potatoes to Luke. 8220;Fine,” Austin snarled, not raising his head or stopping his intense picking at the placemat. 8220;Go in the kitchen,” Milton said in that tone that made every submissive at the table hunker down. Sheldon looked angelic when Milton spoke in that voice; only it didn’t work with Austin. I don’t want carrot sticks and peanut butter and jelly.”. Austin did move as Milton started to rise....

Natasha's Reality Check: Lost and Found 1
http://realitycheckverse.blogspot.com/2012/08/lost-and-found-1.html
Sunday, August 5, 2012. Lost and Found 1. Bethany wasn’t strong enough to heft the heavy trays full of dirty plates and glasses, and she made coffee at glacial speed. The icecaps would be melted before she got the first latte on the counter. 8220;You’ll be much warmer by the fireplace. Today’s special is the shepherd's pie. It should warm you up.”. In the bustle of the lunchtime crowd, Mace soon forgot his eccentric customer until he heard a shout from Bethany at the cash register. “Young man, ...Mace to...
