Glad to see Brae's bit of warmth toward Renn, was starting to think it was an utterly hopeless case and just completely embarrassing for him (he needs no help in that department🤣) - AND at last we start to suspect where Brae's secrets originated... Well done Nathan!
"Perhaps Kerrick had done me a favour—I would become the welcome visitor. I edged my way in their direction, sipping at the second tankard I realised I now held."
Lots to chuckle about in this marvellous continuation of Brae's Meteorite. That passage above is proof! So much said in so few words. Excellent, Nathan, excellent. Renn may call himself a fool but he is not, I suspect. The reveal of the name at the end leaves us hanging, of course! Cliffhanger is well-placed. I also like the idea of providing the PDF, very helpful and an easy option for new readers. I did not count the adverbs because I was too distracted by the tankards! ;)
Wow 🤩 all that editing paid off, Nathan. As much as I loved every single episode from Brae’s Meteorite, this is my favorite because it is full of your voice, style, atmosphere, attention to detail in every paragraph, every sentence, every word choice. The scenes are gorgeous, the relationship between the two, the unrequited love… A beautiful episode.
Thank you, Claudia. That's so incredibly kind of you to say so. (I just dared have another little read, and there are still edits I'd make, haha, but for now I leave it in peace and am aglow by the fact that it is your favourite so far.)
I'm eager to get the next one to you, which hopefully won't be long...
I am indeed new and I very much appreciate the pdf, thank you Nathan. I’ve been in such a deep state of study recently that I haven’t treated myself to any fiction reading at all, so I’m excited to have found you, and Brae 💗
Are you familiar with the band The Dear Hunter? A lyrical theme that echoes across a number of their songs is "the flame is gone, the fire remains" and I could not stop thinking of that here.
They've got lots of great material, but for our purposes, I'd recommend starting with this one. It's the first song on their first record and, aside from being very pretty, includes the relevant theme.

Thanks for reading and commenting, Troy.
I, too, feel some relief for Renn.
Secrets, secrets, secrets!

Thank you for reading, Alexander, and so quickly! This one is a little longer, so I appreciate you taking the time.
You have good thoughts about Renn ;)
it didn't take long to read, there are things happening, and it has a good flow to it, like a refreshing mug of ale!
Oooohhhh... All these tantalising snippets!!! Oooooohhhhhhh.......
The mystery ... (hopefully 😅)
For some reason I can imagine Renn, as an old man, telling this story of his foolish youth to his grandkids. 😊 A lovely read!
Hehe, yay. Well... it might be that actually [redacted]!
Foiled!!!!

Thank you Chloe. That's very kind of you. (I hope you enjoy, though I won't be offended if you don't and it's not your kind of thing 😁)
I love it already

I've not heard of them, no, but thanks Brennan. I'll check them out.

Lovely, thanks for the link.
A lovely, melancholy chapter, Nathan! I'm so rooting for these protagonists to get together. I hope the stars align.
Thank you, Nadia.
We will have to see what happens with those stars, constellations, the moon ...
I look forward to it!
Thanks so much Mitchell!
