Vice is the usual spelling for every meaning of the word. Vise can only be used for the workbench tool used to hold things still.
So if you are explaining how you struggle with an addiction, it’s a vice with a vise grip on you. Generally however, just use vice for everything as it also works for the tool.
i'm willing to bet the friendship quest is about sandbar's mother... great chapter though... sandbar's dad took it REALLY well, not so sure about mom though XD
To the author - saw you had finished the story some days ago but i didn't wanna read it until now...what started out as a little smutty fic then turned into a feels trip! also most accepted m/m ship on this site and in the fandom. is there gonna be a sequel or does it end here?
9307813 Thank you for the praise and the constructive feedback--I totally agree the pacing in some chapters is a little wonky, but more often than not it was giving up after fighting with revisions; one of those 'not letting perfect stand in the way of very good' scenarios.
9308933 Thank you! There will definitely be a sequel, just not for a while. There's another project I'm considering that will come next. I have the basis for more Gallbar fic kicking around in my head, but it's nowhere near fully formed yet.
9309330 i honestly hope this story gets a sequel going into their dating life and them getting married because I cant seem to get enough of these sweethearts... also we never did find out if gallus found the dildo sandbar bought... that ought to be at least mildly entertaining
9309332 oh my god yess! thank you so much telling me about this fic getting a continuation. take as much time & long as you want so there's no burn out. We (meaning your readers/fans) will be waiting patiently:)
Thank you so much for this story. It was a real treat and I do hope that we get more sexy stories about these two with the quality you have made. It's unfortunately a small breed. But we can hope it will grow with time. But thank you nonetheless for this and it is sad to see it go, but all good things must come to an end.
....i want a sequel so bad it hurts. you cant just leave it off like this! did sandbar's mom ever come around? what about gallus's parents, how would they react to their sons interspecies relationship?! how would the public react to it?!
9313067 9314045 Thank you! I know it's hard for things to end (especially with not every loose thread tied up), but there will be more of these two (and some loose threads) down the road. Thanks for reading!
I think the thing that surprises me most is that of all the stories I've read on this site, this is probably the saddest I've been to see a story end; I'm mainly surprised because it's a clopfic, which usually don't suck me into the story this much. These two lovable boys have stolen my heart.
Giving this story anything below a 10/10 would deny all the enjoyment I've found in this wonderfully crafted masterpiece.
When I stumbled upon this story, I admit I didn't expect much. But wow, did you prove me wrong. I really like your writing style and how you balanced the physical and the emotional parts. I, and I'm sure this can be said about the other readers, will be eagerly and patiently awaiting the sequel.
Whew. I've been a fan of this story since it was fairly new. I mostly found it via interest in Gallus, since at the time I found Sandbar to kind of be a boring pony and by far the least interesting of the students. He's come to grow on me though, and this story is actually one reason for it. The dynamic between these two is just so nice.
I had seen this chapter was here for a while now, and I actually didn't want to read it at first because then it would be over. Well, I've finally read it and it was wonderful. The sweet "I love you"s, the awkward and seemingly realistic dinner, the cute sexy scenes. The friendship quest kind of threw me off a little, but not much. This was a fantastic conclusion to a really sweet and sexy story. The character development was done really well.
Loved every bit of this story. The pacing is good, the scenes are engaging, and the characters are just adorable. That line about the foreign delegation in the last chapter confused me, though; I don't remember anything like that happening in the episodes, so thought you'd done a time skip. Then it turned out you hadn't. What was that one referring to?
Also, I'm interested in what kind of adventure the Friendship Map has in store for them.
9388131 The foreign delegation reference is meant to point to the first episode of the season, when Gallus drops Sandbar and he then accidentally bowls over King Rutherford, Thorax, and Seaspray. Thanks for the feedback!
you know I was re-reading this because I love it so much when I noticed something about my mental voice for sandbar's parents... WHY do I imagine beachcomber as sounding EXACTLY like Doug Dimmadome owner of the Dimsdale Dimmadome?
Noooooooo!!! Why does this have to end? This story was so cute I loved it so much. I was really hoping to see them go on an adventure together when they got the call.

Shoot. Yes. Fixed it!
Shout out to the typos that make it through n-degrees of revision. May I one day have their fortitude and tenacity.
Very nice story, thank you for sharing
Also, that in-air sex scene at the end there >>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Finally got to reading this.
Loved every bit of it!
