Queer Writing for a Queer World
//
Owen and the boys all go down to breakfast naked. In the breakfast room, they encounter a young couple having sex. James is surprised and aroused. Owen allows Max and James to remain in their room as he and Finn look at a house that has recently come on the market. Max and James enjoy the private moment of intimacy.

Well, it seems that Max and Min are controlling my life. I am writing about the boys’ life in Cockaigne, and the story keeps rolling around my head.
I woke up at 5:30 this morning with Max and Min. I couldn’t put their story aside, so I had to get up and start writing. I’m at a particularly moving part of the story. Max is having some difficulties at school, and I needed to continue to write about it to help him get through it. As you can guess, Finn has no problem adjusting to life in Cockaigne, but Max is more reserved and is struggling. Perhaps it’s time for Max to stick up for himself.
There is some fun and some pain to come for the brothers. I can’t wait for you to read about their continuing adventures and reading your comments. Cockaigne is a place where anything can happen, and you can be free to be who you want. I love it.
When I started writing queer stories, it was about sex. I wanted to write erotica. I still do. But as I have grown older, I want to write about what it’s like to be queer and the pleasures and adversity that come with it. Max feels that adversity, and I feel his pain as much as I feel Finn’s pleasure when I write about his life.
Tomorrow will see a new chapter of “Conversations with my Brother” as the boys return from Cockaigne.

Finn’s scheming means Owen takes James and the brothers on a weekend trip to Cockaigne. In preparation for the move, James is taken to get his visitor’s permit. Max and Finn help him through the process and, afterwards, spend the day exploring the town. That night, Max and James are alone in the room at the B&B.
//
Finn is excited as the house is sold and moving to Cockaigne is getting closer. James is stressed with his exams coming up and he’s forbidden to see friends during the week so he can get more revision done. One night, James manages to sneak a private moment with Max.
//
Finn is still concerned about Rick. He is avoiding all conversation about Cockaigne. Max talks to his brother, he explains how tough it will be for Rick to have his best friend move away. Max talks about his relationship with James, his feelings and how it is not all about sex. It is then he discovers that there are three times of love.
//
Finn is tired after his active weekend in Cockaigne and an intense day at school. Finn told all his friends that he was moving away, they were all happy for him except Rick, his best friend. Max is on hand to talk to his brother.
//
The family has returned from visiting Cockaigne, but this isn’t the end. We will shortly move on to the third part of the series, narrated by Max.
This will be the series’s final part and concentrate on the relationship between Max and James. There will be a few surprises for the lovers and more intimacy between the brothers.
I will start posting early next week. There are some chapters that I’m particularly proud of, and I hope you enjoy the final part of the series.

Finn is exhausted and goes to bed before Max has come home. But he doesn’t quite manage to fall asleep and is still awake when Max comes to bed. Max has spent the rest of the day with James discussing the potential move to Cockaigne. Max tells Finn how he felt when he talked to James. Could he have changed his mind?
//
The family leave Cockaigne. Finn and Max decide to stay naked and snuggle up and fall asleep on the back seat of the car as they travel home. Owen and Lily talk about their boys as they sleep.
Max is allowed to see James when they return, while Finn stays naked. Owen surprises Finn by getting naked and having some private time with Finn.
//
Owen has a surprise for Finn. Yesterday was about Max, so he wanted to do something nice for his youngest son. Before leaving Cockaigne, they would be spending time at a naturist resort. Finn gets over-excited and can’t wait to go.
The boys leave their parents in the breakfast room as they start packing. Owen and Lily talk about their sons and how they are growing up. But no matter how old they are, parents always worry about their kids.
