I love the AU stories you have written. I was wondering if you could maybe expand on the one you kind of mentioned here, as to why Mark was in the national news. It would be most interesting to read how he came to investigate and ultimately bust the landlord. Would you consider maybe writing it? I cannot write, it would not make sense even to me, and even if I could, I would not presume to write your AU storyline!

Love the story, and thoroughly enjoy seeing Mark adopted into the Hardcastle family. I was happy to see Mark finally putting Sonny in his place. Would love to see the fleshed out story of the case that put Mark in the 'National headlines' resulting in the celebration dinner.

I love these Family Gathering does finanally has the Family He wanted and needs so bad.

I read this a long time ago also and just now.

I love those Hardcastle Family stories with Tom and all of them.

Keep those kind coming.

Way to go, Mark! Bye Bye fair-weather-father! What a wonderful view into the future for this loving, extended family. I can totally hear little Becky's voice. And, YAY! The Judge hugs Mark for a change! (It's neat how grandkids soften Grandpas up!) Well done!

Good for Mark! Glad he finally walked from Sonny and that he has his life headed in the right direction! I have never liked the way Sonny treated him and put off reading this because I don't like Sonny but it was a much better situation than I expected! Glad to see everyone in this: Tom, Kathy, Sarah and all the new kids, but where was Frank?
