Reviewer: renad (Anonymous) · Date: August 24, 2014 04:46 PM · On: Poppa's Back!

Thank you so much for this wonderful story u are amazing I loved every chapter I couldn't stop reading I read it in one day and I love it so much it made my cry a LOT 

All I can say is thank you for this b25;



Author's Response:

Hi, Renad! Wow, thank you very much for choosing to read this story, and especially for the lovely comments! I appreciate that so much. This was one of my favorite stories to write.  I was a little leery of yet another amnesic fic, but I was fascinated with the idea of the boys being in love so deeply, and knowing each other so well, that Brian would know that Justin was alive simply by his painting style. So I couldn't help myself.:)  It almost wrote itself at times.;)

I am honored that you chose to read this one, and by how much you enjoyed it. THANK YOU for telling me that. Too often on the older stories I think readers tend to not review as much, so the fact that you did that after reading it means the world to me. I hope you will enjoy some of my other stories as well. Thank you again for the support! *Hugs*  ~Kim

It's a great pleasure to reread this wonderful fiction, thank you!



Author's Response:

Hello, Arakiss!  You're so kind to read this story again, and especially leave me feedback to let me know you enjoyed it. Thank you for doing that; that was very thoughtful of you.  It was one of my personal favorites to write as well.;)  Thank you for the support!  It is greatly appreciated.  BTW, I'm back to writing now after my father's recent death, so I hope to have two new stories up soon, along with updates to my two WIPs.  Won't post the new ones, though, until they are completedly finished, but I'm well on the way now. *Hugs*  ~Kim

Author's Response:

Hi, Nicole! Thanks for hanging in there on this story.  I know it's a long one, but if you stick with this roller coaster I think you won't regret it.;)  You know I'll put them back together again and make them whole.:)  Thanks for the comments!  I hope you continue to enjoy the story.  *Hugs*  ~Kim

I was reading through old archived stuff and found this wonderful little gem. Great story. Okay, I admit to being a pushover for the old amnesia storyline. You did a great job with it, though. I love how you really captured the pain Justin felt at his memory loss. I also loved that all it took to get his memories back was a good hard shag with Brian! That was priceless. Thanks for writing. TAG



Author's Response:

Hi, Tag - thank you for reading and especially for taking the time to leave your thoughts.  I hope his getting his memory back in that way wasn't TOO unrealistic for you.  I like to think more along the lines that it wasn't the actual act, but the deep emotions that were engendered as a result of it that was the cause for it. So I hope it wasn't too hokey.  And yes, the amnesia line has been done repeatedly, but I had that idea in my head about how only Brian would be able to recognize his partner's art and know that he was alive and, viola!  This story was born.;)

Thank you again for taking the time to review, Tag.:)  It is greatly appreciated. *Hugs*  ~Kim

I know it may seem weird and I know my time is limited, but I'm reading this story again and have to let you know how much I'm enjoying it. It doesnt matter how old a story is or how many times I read it before, I feel it necessary to let the auhtor know my appreciation fo their generousity.

Author's Response:

Hi, Sandra, my friend; it doesn't seem weird at all to me; in fact, I consider you choosing to reread this story a huge honor, so I thank you sincerely for not only doing that, but for the heartfelt feedback.  This was a very intriguing story for me to write; some of them draw you into the plots, and I have to say that this one certainly did.  I particularly enjoyed writing the scenes with Brian and his son as he struggled over whether or not to tell Gus  the truth about Justin's death. 

You are very special, Sandra, not only in your consistent pattern of always leaving supportive reviews, but also in the way that you leave feedback for not only the new/WIP stories, but for the older ones as well.  I will be forever grateful for your thoughtfulness and your encouragement.  I wish we had a thousand more readers just like you, and I thank everyone else who consistently supports me.  Thank you again; I hope I can continue to write stories that you will enjoy.  *Hugs*  ~Kim

Just spent the weekend reading your story. I loved it and how you blended the character of Justin's forgetful personality that was still him. Brian was perfect. Thanks



Author's Response:

Hello, my friend; thank you so much for not only reading my story, but for your lovely and very encouraging comments!  This was one of my personal favorites; sometimes an idea just seems to write itself, and this one was definitely in that category.  And I loved the idea of Brian being able to identify his partner's art merely by looking at it and not by the actual signature, and how he pushed and never gave up on their love, despite everyone trying to convince him that Justin was dead.  I am flattered beyond words over your support of this story; thank you so much!  I'm very honored that you would decide to spend your weekend reading it.  I hope there will be other stories of mine that you will enjoy as well.  Thank you again for your wonderful feedback!  *Hugs*  ~Kim

Reviewer: Mary (Signed) · Date: June 12, 2012 01:18 AM · On: An Interrupted Reunion

Dear Predec2!

I have read a lot of your stories and I think it won't be uncommon to say that THIS one is unique! This story is particularly special for me, because here  Brian is grieving at Justin's death (this was incredibly sad to see Brian so devastated but veeery enjoyable to read =)) and at the same time it isn't a deathfic! It was a great idea of your's!

Another thing that I like in your works is that you pay much attention to original characters, develop them, expand them and we grow to love them or hate them like we have known them from the original show!

I'm waiting for new aaaangsty stories!! Thank you very  much for applying your talent to our beloved B and J!)))

P.S. I'm not well aware of website's rules. May I ask some personal questions such as where are you from and are you female or male? Because your turn of phrase is so beautiful and love scenes..well..the best on MW!)



Author's Response:

Hi, Mary!  Your thoughtful comments made me extremely happy - they are like heaven to a writer like me who loves to get feedback, so I thank you so much for that; you have no idea how delighted they made me!  At the time I actually hesitated at first to write 'yet another Justin has amnesia story,' but when I thought of the idea of how Brian would be the one to realize that Justin was still alive and was able to do it because of his deep love for him and his ability to know almost instantly that it was his partner's painting, I couldn't resist. And it became a personal favorite of mine as well afterward, so I am very glad that you enjoyed this story.

And as you know I LOVE to write angsty stories.:)  I have three WIPs right now that I will be updating very soon.  I normally update sooner, but for the past several days I have been (and still am) in Germany for the convention which just wrapped up yesterday.  I will be home on Thursday to resume my updates. 

I am flattered that you would want to know about me, so I do not mind your questions at all.:)  I am female and live in the midwestern part of the U.S.  I am a full-time teacher, but have never had any formal writing classes; I just love to write about these two wonderful characters!  I started out writing initially on fanfiction.net in December of 2009 and started posting over here one year later.  I love this site for its ease of use and ability to put banners and photos with the stories, but feel a certain allegance also to ff.net, since I have some very loyal readers over there who do not come over here to read, so I continue to post there as well as on my live journal.  If you go to my journal, in fact, you will find several posts about the con along with photos if you are interested.:)

Thank you again for your amazing comments - I try to make my stories and characters as detailed as I can without bogging the story down, so I am very delighted by your kind words.  Thank you for reading so many of my stories.  I hope you will continue to enjoy them for a long time to come.  *Hugs*  ~Kimberly

Oh My Sweet God!!! The scene at Deb's just killed me!!! Poor Poor Brian...thank God Sunshine's still alive, though the road ahead will be full of angsty moments... great chapter



Author's Response:

Hello!  Thank you for reading my story!  I am glad that you're enjoying it so far (although I'm not sure 'enjoying' is the right word just yet with all the angst!).  This was one of my favorite stories to write, so I do hope you like it.  Thank you for letting me know that you are reading it - and for taking the time to comment.:)  *Hugs*  ~Kimberly

Reviewer: Missn31 (Signed) · Date: February 27, 2012 05:00 PM · On: An Interrupted Reunion

Wow - I just read this story right from the beginning to end (although it took me several days!) and I loved it. I confess to reading some chapters so rapidly as I was desperate to find out what happened next. The final 2 chapters made me cry! Fantastic writing, thank you for sharing

Love Kate xxxx



Author's Response:

Hi, Kate!  I always get a thrill when someone takes the time to leave me comments, but especially on some of my older stories.  THANK YOU for doing that!  This one was special to me, even though I was hesitant at first to write yet another "Justin amnesia" story.  But I was glad that I did afterward, and I am very happy that you enjoyed the story.  It certainly evoked a wide range of emotions, didn't it? 

Thank you again for reading and especially taking the time to let me know how much you liked it; that is such a wonderful reward for me!  And thank you for all your ongoing support of my other stories.  I hope you will enjoy them for a long time to come.:)  *Hugs*  ~Kim

Hi I have read this before and loved it so I had a day to myself so I treated myself to another full on read again. Just brilliant I loved every part I cried I laughed I oohed and ahhard. Just a wonderful beautifully written staory thanks so much :) Hugs Chris



Author's Response:

Hi, Dear Friend!  How sweet of you to not only re-read this story but to take the time to comment as well.:)  Thank you for doing that!  This one will always hold a special place in my heart, just like some of my other stories do (although I still think of all of them as my 'babies.':))  It certainly was a roller coaster of emotions, wasn't it?  And I admit I was a little wary at first of starting yet another "Justin has amnesia" story, but this one seemed to call to me and I figured it might have enough twists and turns to hold the readers' attention and be just a little different in plot.

Thank you again for letting me know how much you enjoyed this story; that means a lot to me! And thank you for all the support you've given me over the past few years - that means the world to me.  I hope I can continue to entertain you with more stories to come.  *Hugs*  ~Kim

Reviewer: BigPaw (Signed) · Date: February 13, 2012 07:49 PM · On: Poppa's Back!

What an amazing book. I'm sorry I didn't add a comment after each chapter, but I was just too hooked on it to pause long enough to gush about how much I love it. The emotional damage everyone had to deal with was so intense I don't know how they lived thru it. I hope poor Andrew didn't jump out the 14th floor window when he was rejected. I do feel sorry for him, he didn't get a happy ending in this story. Maybe another ER victim will come in and be his soul mate. I think this was a very worthy pick for story of the month. Now maybe I can move away from the computer for a moment...I read this in less than a 24 hours span.
Really good writing, dramatic plot, all the threads tied up at the end in a well told way. The pacing was tormentingly perfect. Thanks for sharing this with us.

Author's Response:

Aww...thank you so much, Lori!  After those lovely comments, I can certainly forgive you for not stopping to leave a comment on every chapter!  Thank you for reading this rather long story and for the wonderful feedback; I'm so glad that you liked it!  The fact that you couldn't stop reading it makes me very happy.  Thank you again, my friend.  *Big Hug* to you.:)  ~Kimberly

I love so many of your stories, but this is one that I have read numerous times. Okay, this is the one I read the most bcause I'll read most of them more than once. I recently read it again when transferring my stories to a new e-reader and I found myself reading this last chapter again just now. I think the last 2 chapters are what really made this memorable. Brian's and Justin's anguish over his loss of his memory and then the subsequent desperation sex scene was done perfectly. The last chapter was just adorable. It's hard to think anyone could fall out of love of these men after reading this story.

Great job again!

I will now get some sleep. LOL.



Author's Response:

Aww....what lovely comments!  Thank you so much for all the kind words.  I am truly honored that you enjoyed this story.  I can't think of a better compliment than to know that you read it over and over again.  You are so sweet to let me know!  This is why I keep writing because it truly motivates me to keep going!  THANK YOU sincerely for all your support; I hope I can continue to write stories that you will enjoy reading for a long time to come.  *Big Hug*  ~Kimberly

Hi, Vonnie!  Thanks for the 'favorite author' designation, BTW; that makes me very happy, my friend!  Yes, this one will be quite angsty for a while as Brian tries to live life without his soulmate; but that very bond between them will also cause him to realize thngs are not what they seem.  I'm so glad you're reading this one!  I do hope you like it:) Thank you for the comments, Sweetie! 

P.S.  I'm still going to do my best to get you an autograph from Randy next month; at the very least I'll be sure to get you an extra playbill from "Red."  Keep your fingers crossed, and thanks again for all the support - I'm very grateful.:)  *Hugs*~Kimberly

I would like to tell you this is one of the best stories I have ever read in my entire life.  You are an amazing writer.  I was asking what stories I should read in your large folder of work, and you know who told me about this one.  I read the whole thing in one setting, couldn't stop, as it is so damn good.  I did have to get a sandwich in the middle somewhere.  My gosh lady you are remarkable, there is everything in there, sweetness, angst, some humor, sadness and most of all love.  I hope you know how special your writing is to your readers.  You are an exceptional!!!  Thank you so much for bringing so much entertainment into so many lives.



Author's Response:

OMG, Kym - that has to be one of the nicest reviews that I have ever received!  You will probably never realize how much that means to me.:)  I think most authors write these stories mainly in hopes that others will enjoy what they have written.  I know that, along with a great love for these two characters, is MY main motivation.  Your words mean so much to me, Kym.  This story was special to me - some of them seem to almost write themselves and this one had that effect on me.  Thank you, dear friend, for those lovely comments.  I hope you will continue to enjoy my stories for a long time to come:)  And thank lindc for recommending me to you - I owe that woman a dinner if I ever get a chance to meet all of you! You all sound like very special people.:)  Take care and thanks again; your words have really given me a great lift!:)

BTW - loved the comment about the sandwich - that would be the only reason why I would take a break, too - forget having to use the bathroom - ha!

This is quite possibly my favorite story...of all time. It left me on edge along with making me clench my invisible pearls periodically. It was beautifully written and wonderfully intriguing! 11 out of 10 stars :) Magnificent!

 

Side note: I was wondering how to put a banner with a story. :( I'm at a loss. Help!



Author's Response:

Hi, Louchelle!  What a wonderful thing to say about this story - thank you so much!  Yes, "Remember Me" was definitely a rollercoaster ride - I know I had to reassure everyone that it was NOT a death fic because it certainly felt that way for a while, didn't it?  But when Brian finally realized Justin was still alive, I think it made all the angst worthwhile (hopefully).:)  Thanks so much for letting me know you enjoyed this story!

I'll send you a PM shortly about the banner question.:)  Thanks again - looking forward to more of your story, also...!  VERY entertaining as well as extremely sexy - yum!:)

Reviewer: TrinTiff (Signed) · Date: May 24, 2011 12:44 PM · On: Poppa's Back!

DONE!  I was beginning to wonder how many more times my heart could break and re-mend itself!  That was quite the roller-coaster ride for the last few chapters.  I can see why this was a special story for you.  It will be one that I'll want to read again sometime down the road!

Oh! I have a story idea for you since you are SO good at churning out stories ... (seriously, how do you write so many long stories that are so GOOD in such a short time?) ... anyway, my idea is an AU where Brian and Justin are both in college and are cheerleaders; I guess I'm thinking like the Hellcats cheerleaders but that's not where I got the idea, really!  You know like Brian is the best cheerleader with all of the competive awards and Justin is new on the scene and wows everyone.  All the girls love them both ... MAYBE no one knows they are gay but they end up attracted to each other and can't hide it anymore.  Or something like that!  :-D

Oh well! Keep it cooking in the back of your mind and maybe something will come of it! 

Big hugs!  Cindy



Author's Response:

Hi, Cindy!  Thanks so much for reading this and letting me know your thoughts.:)  And thanks for the story idea!  Mmm....Justin and Brian as cheerleaders, all that testosterone and sweat - I like it - ha!  I am actually writing down story ideas now because I can't write them as fast as I can think them up; plus I do occasionally get plot bunnies from readers (such as "Tender Loving Care," actually - that was one), so I will definitely file this away for future reference.  Now if I only had about 24 more hours in the day and two more pairs of hands, maybe I could accomplish all this (sigh).  Thank you so much for the idea - I'm very flattered you think I could do it justice.:)  I will definitely think about it for the future.  And thanks for all the feedback - I am very appreciative; hope to hear from you again soon.:)  *hugs* back to you.:)

" Justin tentatively slid his arm around his waist. "Oh, God," Brian couldn't help saying as he felt their first moment of contact as they lay together in their bed. "

 

Very nice job of sweeping up that mess I left you with a few chapters ago!  This one sentence made my stomach flip over!  :-)

Hugs! Cindy



Author's Response:

Hi, Cindy - *hugs* back to you!:)  As you can see, we're heading to a good place now.:)  That being said, though, there's still going to be some rocky parts ahead.....I always like to actually name the chapters when I write a story, BTW, not only because I think it gives the reader a sense of where it's heading, but for me it helps ME as a reader to remember where I left off, especially on the long stories and when they might not have been updated in quite a while - ha!  Thanks again for taking the time to review - I am very appreciative.:P)

I love this Brian and this Justin and everything about this story! ... On to chapter 28!

Author's Response:

Hi, Cindy!  So glad that you pushed beyond the heartbreaking chapter with Gus and are still reading.:)  I'm so honored that you have been moved by my story; this one holds a special place in my heart and certainly seemed to have resonated with a lot of readers.:)  Thanks so much for leaving me your thoughts and for reading. Too often on the older stories readers don't always think to do that, so each one I get is extra-special - thanks again.:)

I've been happily reading along; sad for Brian but knowing eventually he's going to find Justin again so it hasn't been too bad and wish Dr. Andrew would fall off a tall cliff when all of a sudden you decide it's time to RIP MY HEART TO SHREDS!!  OMG! That is probably the saddest, most pitiful image of Brian I've ever read! Laying down next to Gus wishing for a little bit of his own imaginary magic to ease his pain??

Well! I'm going on to read the next chapter ... and you can sweep up the mess from my broken heart!  :-)

*Hugs you*  Cindy




Author's Response:

Hi, Cindy!  Thanks - I think (just kidding).  If I really had an emotional effect on someone, I am very flattered.  I recall writing that chapter very clearly and how it tugged at MY heart at the time, too.  This is a very poignant roller coaster of a story for sure at times.:)  I trust that you will find the eventual reunion of the two that much sweeter, though, and Gus will get his wish to see his 'Poppa' again in due time, but it will take a while.:)  Thank you so much for letting me know you're reading the story and for providing your thoughts.  I hope you continue occasionally to let me know what you think; I'm very appreciative.:)

Reviewer: mysid (Anonymous) · Date: April 09, 2011 12:26 AM · On: Poppa's Back!

I thoroughly enjoyed this and read it straight through in two sittings.   You worried me with Andrew's well timed (or ill-timed, depending on your POV) visit to Pittsburgh.  I'm glad that Justin knew better than to accept his offer.  I had to laugh at the cause of Justin's memory returning.  It looks like Rage's rejuvenating bed and magical healing sperm did their work on JT again!



Author's Response:

Thank you for reading and for leaving me a review, mysid!  I have to laugh at your comment about Rage's "magical healing sperm!"  I wished I had thought of that and I would have used it somehow in the story.:)  Thanks again for leaving me your thoughts - so glad you liked it!:_)

Reviewer: Kate (Anonymous) · Date: March 31, 2011 01:45 AM · On: Poppa's Back!

Maybe an epilogue where stupid Andrew gets his due?  I felt like you wanted us to see that he was an okay guy who just fell for Justin's irresistable charm, and I could see that and you did a great job with it.  But I hated him!  What kind of asshole does that?  I want to see him run in to them while they're with Gus and have to deal with what he tried to split up.  Vindictive?  Maybe.  Satisfying?  It would be awesome!  Loved this story, btw!  You're making my days spent in bed with the flu, bearable.  Thanks!



Author's Response:

Thanks so much, Kate!  Sorry to hear you're under the weather, but I'm glad I can help out with some reading in the meantime.:)  I'm pleased that you're enjoying the stories, and I want to thank you leaving a review on this one.  A lot of time readers don't go to the trouble to do that on the older stories, so I am doubly appreciative.:)  Hope you like the next installment of "Paper Hearts" I just posted, also.  Thanks again for reading.:)

Author's Response:

Hello, my friend - glad to see you're still reading this.:)  Let's just say that Brian will have a rather unique way to get Justin to remember that is pure Brian Kinney, even though it will be unintentional.  And just a caution - Andrew's not quite done yet but he won't get far with his endeavor - hang on until the ending - it WILL get better!:)  Thanks for reading and all the reviews- I greatly appreciate it.:)

OK.... I decided to give this another shot....lol...but I wanted to fast forward past "Dr. Andrew"....who I still hate and think is completely unethical...because he always puts his feelings ahead of what's best for his "patient".... and I found the right chapter..... Brian is here amd taking Justin home!!!!!... I can't wait to see everyone's reaction to him being ALIVE... Thanks..

Thank you for having faith in my bringing the boys back together!  I was sorry to see you had decided not to read on but then you left this, so I'm happy you changed your mind.:)  I hope it won't disappoint.  Thanks for giving it another try!:)  I should warn you that you haven't seen the last of Andrew but it will be brief (and unsuccessful, I promise!)....

Ah, hang in there, my friend!  Andrew's fairly harmless and while he's going to be smitten with his former "patient," he's not going to get very far.....I promise the ending will be much more satisfying!:)

OK...I have to ask a question...lol.... if Justin was walking on a hill near the railroad tracks when he collapsed...and taken to a nearby hospital...wouldn't they have heard about the crash???



Author's Response:

Well, perhaps two issues would have impacted that - they had already decided there were no survivors, and Justin was found by a couple that did not leave any information at the hospital, so I suppose they may not have been able to put two and two together; he didn't have any burn marks, etc. to show he had been in the fire.  I know - you have to suspend belief just a bit here - LOL!  Very thoughtful question, though, my friend.  Looking foward to your further comments.:)

So happy you've decided to try this story!  If you like a roller coaster ride, you've found the right one!  I'll be interested to hear your thoughts on this one - it can be a real tearjerker, but I think the end will more than make up for it.:)

Reviewer: bksbracelet (Signed) · Date: February 13, 2011 06:02 AM · On: Poppa's Back!

OMG thank you for such a wonderful story. I started with trepidation but trusting you would get the boys back together. I cried through so many chapters with Justin and Brian their rollercoaster of emotions was positively exhausting.

This story was so well written (of course its yours) that I started reading early in the evening and had to stop at 1.00am but I was dreaming about and up again at 4.00am on my laptop because I had to finish it. I have loved all your stories but this one was such a mix of angst and love it will stay with me for a long time. I am going to save it to my favourites so I can read it over and over. I will give it a week or two and read it again this time actually reading all the bits I missed because of the tears lol

Thank you

XXX Chris



Author's Response:

Chris:  What a wonderful review - you made my day; thank you so much!  Yes, this one was definitely an emotional roller coaster, especially at first when everyone, especially Brian, thought Justin was dead.  I know the amnesia angle has been played a lot before, but it stuck in my head and I had to write my version down anyway.  I figured only Brian would know instinctively that it was his lover's painting he was seeing, so I thought it was only fitting that he discovered Justin was alive that way.  I am so glad you decided to trust me and continue reading the story, and I'm so glad I didn't disappoint you.  I can't think of anything more flattering than the fact that the story stayed with you so much that you had to lose sleep over it - LOL!  Thank you so much for taking the time to review - that is the one thing that will make me continue, and it means so much to me.:)

Hi, my friend!  Thanks for reading this one!  I had thought about mentioning the prom and having him remember, but in the end I thought that might be a little too predictable; it had been written about so many times before.  It was a magical night for them, though, until that awful attack.  Thank you for reading and for the comments - I really appreciate that!:)  *Hugs*

If Justin were my son, I'd want to shake him so hard...not!  Hopefully this latest bit of memory helps.

Poor Brian, he really doesn't want to tell Gus about Justin. And with good reason, he just doesn't know it yet.  I approve of the way Melanie is portrayed, it's so refreshing.

I like Andrew, but I don't want him getting too close to Justin.  See what your writing does, it brings the characters to life.

Justin's art and Brian seem to be the keys to his memory.

I did finish the last chapter but my happy pill was kicking in and I was too sleepy this morning to leave the last review.

This was a most delightful read which I totally enjoyed having. Your description of the characters was perfect; the plot spell-binding and executed perfectly. I was glued to my chair (most of the time) and driven to finish the story.

I write therefore I'm a writer; however, when I read a story like this one I know I'm seeing not the work of a writer. Anybody can write. You, are an author and that's a big difference. Thank you very much for publishing this story here so I could find it.

Thank you for all the encouragement and the kind words, my friend - they mean a great deal to me.  I am posting the sequel to "Going, Going, Gone" right now - hope you'll have a chance to read it.  It's complete but is 47 chapters long - I'm loading the chapters as fast as I can - LOL!  Thanks again for the very warm welcome on here.

I'm sure glad I stayed up some more to get to this lovely climax in the story. You wrote it so well too! You captured the happy playful Justin perfectly and it was so sweet how he teased Brian to realization.  BRAVO!



Author's Response:

Thanks for all the comments, my friend - glad you stayed up to (almost) finish it (not sure if you got to the last chapter or not....And, no, you do NOT get a free dinner although I HATE to make mistakes when I write - LOL!  I actually don't use a beta so I try my best not to do that, but after writing several thousand words in one chapter one or two invariably slips out, even though I've probably gone over it several times - ACK!  Thank God for larger font size....ha!

Do you love to pour on the major angst routine! HA! The new Justin will be livid and Brian will be in a world of trouble for doing this to him.

I tip my hat to the good doctor for setting Justin up for the emotional breakthrough he needed to experience; for Jim Beam to loosen up Brian before hand, and for a persistant little blond who knows how to best repair want's wrong with him. Now they are getting somewhere :P

Once again oh what a tangled web we weave.....reading on to see how this plays out.

Enter Dr. Killdare I assume is near......

Reviewer: JTSecrets (Signed) · Date: January 07, 2011 02:31 PM · On: Reality and Hope Collide

Well I didn't see that coming at all, but under the circumstances I can understand. Maybe absence can make the heart grow fonder for Justin. Like he said, he needs some space.

And maybe it will be harder to find him for Dr. Bradley since he won't be at the loft :)

Or I see a plot set up coming that brings that Dr. Meddler into the fold at Justin's weakest hour. You are so wicked girlfriend!

Dumb doctor! That was not the way to handle the first visit so soon. That time of memory loss can be hours, weeks, months, or years, or never for trama injuries. Psychotherpy could help too but you didn't mention it.

There was no reason the doctor couldn't dange some real hope the first year.

I'm up to 12 cents now :)

GOTHA! You said they were eating at Kinnetik, not the loft in the last section's title.

I had to pounce on that since your very rarely make such a mistake :)

Do I get a free dinner at Chili's or something? :D

I thought Britin would ring a bell for Justin and it rung a couple of them.

Reviewer: JTSecrets (Signed) · Date: January 07, 2011 12:31 PM · On: Baby Steps

I'm sure Justin can fake it with Gus well enough to get by. He can claim to have been in an accident and got a boo boo on his head, but he was feeling better. That's enough for a six year old. My 2 cents :)

Reviewer: JTSecrets (Signed) · Date: January 07, 2011 11:53 AM · On: Emmett and Clearing the Air

I just had a thought how Justin survived the train wreck. Had he been outside the cars between them or at the very back looking out during the ride he could have been thrown clear of the wreckage. Just a thought.

Reviewer: JTSecrets (Signed) · Date: January 07, 2011 11:20 AM · On: A Grudging Apology

That was very bold of Ted canon wise. Of course he rarely gets one up on Brian and anyone would see he was thinking about what Blake went through too. I was half expecting a diner scene in this chapter :)

Reviewer: JTSecrets (Signed) · Date: January 07, 2011 10:29 AM · On: Next Stop: Memory Lane

Gee I wonder if a public appearance is wise at this point? Who knows who might spill the beans to the media. Just a thought. Maybe Emmett can show up too huh?

Reviewer: JTSecrets (Signed) · Date: January 07, 2011 10:02 AM · On: Swirling Lines Coalesce

Maybe some close encounters of the erotic kind is just the thing to jog his memory back. I think intense emotional memories are the best to bring forward again. Once they start returning they are usually a tidal wave of memories for someone with Justin's condition if I recall hearing about them in RL.

He remembers Brian!  He remembers Brian!  Woohooo!!

I like how you did Cynthia here and didn't repeat too many facts again. You sometimes do that (if I can offer some friendly advice writer to writer :)

Now I should get ready for some angst since you warned me about it too. Eventually the good doctor will rear his ugly head soon. And we still have Emmett to make his appearance :D

Reviewer: JTSecrets (Signed) · Date: January 07, 2011 09:13 AM · On: Daphne's Turn to be Shocked

A first I wanted to slap the shit out of that girl and then I realized it was just like her to jump to conclusions too. You have a true master of canon and it shows in your writing. You sure are racking up some featured blue ribbons sweetheart :)

I'm not surprised either; you're a real asset to the MW community. Now if most of our regular readers take the time to find out. This is some of the most entertaining reading I've had in quite a while from a fresh voice in the fandom to us here.



Author's Response:

Thank you so much, my friend.:)  I'm so happy that you and a lot of the other readers are enjoying my stories - I get a lot of pleasure out of writing them and it thrills me to see them acknowledged!  The blue ribbon was a surprise for this one - I didn't even know it was there at first, but I'm absolutely thrilled by it as well as the others - it helps makes all my hard work worth it.  Thanks again to you and all the other readers for all the reviews and for making me feel welcome here.:)

this is without a doubt one of the best stories i have read on mw.  the last three chapters about tore my heart out.  i am such a sucker for these happy endings.  i guess i am just too sappy--but i love these kinds of stories and this was one of THE BEST!!!.   please finish your others soon. thanx for my reading pleasure.  you are special. lol



Author's Response:

Wow!  What a wonderful review - I'm going to get a big head now - LOL!  I'm so glad you liked it.  I know it was a very emotional story, but I think it really helped show how Brian could change for Justin, as well as how well he knew him.  And don't worry - I will be updating all of my stories on a regular basis.  Thank you so much for reading and especially taking the time to review!:)

Reviewer: YumYumPM (Signed) · Date: January 07, 2011 09:08 AM · On: Release and Imprisonment

How nice that Cynthia doesn't want to leave Brian alone.  Love the discription of Andrew's apartment, but I hope that Justin doesn't get too comfortable.



Author's Response:

Well, for now Andrew's a safe haven to him; but things are going to be changing......in ways none of them can foresee...

Reviewer: YumYumPM (Signed) · Date: January 07, 2011 08:49 AM · On: New Memories Forged

Me thinks Dr. Bradley has just given us a hint that he's gay and doesn't know it.  It is kind of him to offer to take Justin in.



Author's Response:

I think you're on the right track.....this man's going to figure pretty prominently for some time to come in the story....:)

Reviewer: YumYumPM (Signed) · Date: January 07, 2011 08:39 AM · On: Lost Love, New Starts

I can't blame Brian for not wanting to attend a memorial for Justin.  That would be giving up all hope too soon.  "Jacob" certainly has a way about him, perhaps  the good doctor will be able to help, but I gather it won't be any time soon. <sigh>



Author's Response:

Hold onto your hat, my friend - you're about to go on a roller coaster ride of emotion!:)

Reviewer: JTSecrets (Signed) · Date: January 07, 2011 08:29 AM · On: Insecurity Rears Its Ugly Head

Good ole Dr. Bradley...every plot needs a villian I guess, a troublemaker, a wrench in the gears, a third wheel, but really; this guy should know he doesn't stand a chance.

I love how you are slowing bring them together too.

 



Author's Response:

Ah, yes.....but it's not over yet! LOL!  Angst alert coming.....

Author's Response:

Thank you for reading - yes, it's got some difficult moments to go through, but I hope you will find the ending more than makes up for it.  I feel honored that you are reading this and it is affecting you so emotionally.  Thank you for the review and for letting me know you like it.:)

A fitting first night together. As I look ahead at the chapter titles I ponder how this will unfold.



Author's Response:

They're still going to have some ups and downs until the end of the story - but I think you will find it is worth it in the end...:)

Reviewer: crazykitty (Signed) · Date: January 07, 2011 05:50 AM · On: Poppa's Back!

this was such a beaufiul story :)



Author's Response:

Thank you so much!  I know it was a real tearjerker, but I made sure they had a happy ending as usual....so glad you had faith that I would, and took the time to read and especially review - thank you.:)
