Present and Unaccounted for

Continued from Part 4

Advisories are in  Part 1. Major feature this time around Adult Situations containing those who shouldn't be in adult situations and implied violence.

Guess what?! This part has been proofed by debbycus! :oD You guys finally get to see first hand what awesome work she does without having to go back and reread earlier chapters. Send her ♥ she deserves it.

Also I know I said this would be posted at the same time as part 6. There has been a change of plans before I completely lost my mind and rewrote the whole damn thing. That would be bad.

And now ...

Part 6 is up, however, you can pick up almost exactly where this leaves of with "Baby".

Extra thanks to debbycus and amochan8878 for the help getting this out! It really wouldn't be here if they hadn't both talked me down off the proverbial, literary ledge. ♥ I have it worked out now! Thank you both.

Continued from Part 2

Advisories from Part 1 remain in effect. Specifically Language Angst and (Implied) Adult Situations containing those who shouldn't be in adult situations with the added bonus of incredibly cheesy.

No bad!Anto yet though (It is coming! See notes at end.)

On to Part 4.

This was NOT where I wanted to cut this. There were supposed to be three more scenes before the break :( My computer is not a happy camper though.

BUT! Sitting beside me, in a shiny, pretty green box is one sparkly new, just arrived today, Micro ATX Motherboard! Oh yeah! It has been dying for over a year now and I finally gave in and got a new one. Downside, I can't install it yet. Well I could, but I am not going to because when I do I am going to reformat my hard drive and do a complete hood rebuild. I would kind of like to get at least the rest of this chapter out first, and possibly chapter 6. I am not sure I have the patience for chapter 6 though. The poor computer crashes every time someone breathes near it recently so getting the images is a wee bit frustrating.

In other news, as soon as I get my brain in a slightly less scattered state, someone who is very awesome and helpful and wonderful has volunteered to go back through EVERYTHING that I have posted so far and all future updates and fix my atrocious punctuation! Possibly grammar as well. How cool is that? I would totally have delayed this update as well until it was fixed up except for the whole "I want to get this chapter done so I can save my computer" thing.

Oh and yes, bad!Anto is still forthcoming. Though (and this might have been obvious by now) you can be sure he will be around a lot more in general since this chapter was the point where what is going on with him and Cal starts picking up and tangling in with everything else.

So, my computer is getting saved, Chapter 5 will now have five parts *sigh*, we will be seeing a lot more of Anto (really, a LOT more) and soon the whole story will be much more readable! WEE!

It's probably loaded with typo's. Let me know if you find any.
