Episode 62: Rook Tales
"Sister!" Rook Blonko exclaimed gleefully as he greeted Rook Shar. "May I be the first to welcome you to-" Blonko paused as he noticed someone disembark who should not have been on the transport. "Young One?!"
The youngest of the Rook family grinned impishly as he said, "Frown all you wish; I am back on Earth with the greatest bed-time story-teller and brother-in-law in the universe: Rook Ben Tennyson!" Spying said story-teller and brother-in-law, Young One excitedly dashed over to and jumped into the arms of Ben, who chuckled at the exuberant child.
"Bed-time story-teller?" Blonko asked.
Ben blushed and replied, "Oh,

Episode 58: Universe vs. Tennyson
"Yeah, and that's not even the half of it! All in all, not a bad month."
"Could we please talk about something else?" Rook pleaded with Ben as they drove in the newly un-Bro-ed ProtoTRUK. Ben had just been regaling Rook with the details of the last 30 days in which he had been behaving like Fistrick! Rook was terribly embarrassed and ashamed, though a part of him felt a sort of satisfaction at having his repressed passions thrown to the surface. "Honestly, Beloved, such behavior in a revonnahgander is just...just...unbecoming!"
Ben gave Rook an understanding smile and replied, "Rook, there's nothing to be ash

Episode 57: No Honor Among Bros
***Warning: Use of the term "fugly".***
Rook woke up that morning feeling a bit rough around the edges. Ordinarily, this was fairly unusual as Rook was very much a morning person, having been used to waking up at sunrise every day back on Revonnah. But these last two weeks had tested his resolve immensely; Ben's lack of presence had been difficult but doable the first week. But this last week? Absolute torture! This particular morning, though, Rook was feeling even rougher than he should. Had he slept in a bad position last night? Had he been unable to achieve REM sleep for the prescribed amount of time? Who co

Intermission 6: One Last Thing Unresolved
Atris Peydora looked at the the young men before her with keen and observing eyes. Her natural abilities as a galilean not only allowed her to manipulate gravity, but to sense it's movements...it's ebbs and flows. As such, she was acutely aware that something was weighing heavily upon the both of them. Magister Tennyson had given her a quick, three minute brief on what had occurred today, but there was still more to the situation.
Ever since Benjamin Tennyson first came to her months ago, Atris had guided him through a journey no young man should ever have to take. On the outside, to the public, Ben w

Episode 55: The Rooter's of all Evil
It was supposed to be a nice Saturday morning: Ben and Rook had gone to Plumber's HQ to simply hang out and chat with Grandpa Max, Patelliday, Molly Gunther, and a couple of the other rookie Plumbers. The rookies were eager to get more acquainted with Ben and Rook, and asked various questions regarding the couple's plans for the future.
Ben was feeling really content and happy, especially given that he and Rook had finished a session the day before with Atris, and so far things seemed to have settled. Excusing himself from the group to use the restroom, he walked off thinking, 'I could use more days like t

Episode 53: The Vengers
Rook moaned deeply as he scooped up a spoonful of the strange orange squares in his bowl and munched on them with a beaming expression of happiness. "Thank you, Beloved," he said around his food, "for agreeing to have lunch where I want to for a chance." Rook froze and winced as he realized just how harsh that sounded. "Not that you've never asked me what I'd like to eat, but..."
"Nope, nope, nope, don't pussy-foot around me, Blonko," Ben teasingly chided, grabbing Rook's spoon and waving at him in scolding manner. "I realize that I've always dragged you off to my favorite restaurants and not once considered going to p

Episode 50: Collect This
Ben couldn't help but loose a reckless laugh as he ran down the field, soccer ball rolling ahead of him. There was nothing more therapeutic than a friendly game of soccer, especially when you were playing against your fiance. This game had been the result of a promise Ben had made to a group of young kinecelerans he'd befriended a while back. Ben and Rook had split up, taking two kinecelerans each. He was nearing the goal when Rook swooped in and swept the ball from him. Ben couldn't help but admire how graceful his boyfriend was.
Moving alongside of Rook, Ben grinned and said, "There's no way I'm that good a teacher.
