Loved every word! The scene with Justin and "Liam" taking photographs was just delightful, and very them. And even in the darkroom... it was hard to read and Justin's sadness and confusion made me teary eyed. But there was a bit of happiness and hope there too. I must be a "brat" too since I can't wait for dinner either!

Author's Response:

Aw, you make me very happy! I'm not sure this story is as popular as the previous ones I've written as it's quite dark, so I'm glad a few readers enjoy this. I loved writing that scene between them! And of course, as the evil author than I am, I couldn't help but having Justin confines in Liam. If he only knew...

Keep being a brat, please :)

Thank you so much for your support on this, I deeply appreciate it <3

I hope Gabriel stops pussy footing around and really makes a move on Connor.  Can't wait for dinner.  Justin is falling in love with Liam once again.

Author's Response:

Gabriel definitely needs to grow a pair! We'll see if he finally acknowledges his feelings soon. And yes, Justin is already in love, although he doesn't really understand why. 

Thank you as always for your never ending support Phyllis :) <3

Oh, wow! I'm surprised Brian didn't have a heart attack straight away when he glanced at that monitor and saw Justin at his door. His exchange with Carl was really rather sad... Still very curious about what actually happened in that garage so many years ago. I'm not sure how Brian's going to handle being so close to Justin. And I'm not sure how long before Justin believes what his heart is trying to tell him - that Liam is Brian. Hoping the person spying on Justin is one of Carl's men.

Can't wait for the next update!

Author's Response:

You're absolutely right about Brian :) And it's going to be a challenge to be with Justin without telling him the truth. As for Justin, you will see, too. I really liked writing that part.

We will know (one day haha) who was the one making the phone call. Until then, a lot of revelations are coming.

Thank you as always for your amazing support Trish! Hope all is well for you <3

This chapter had me clutching all my pearls! Brian almost lost his mind when he spotted Justin on his monitor. I have to ask, Brian has been "dead" for six years but he woke up in a hospital three years ago? Was he in a coma or had amnesia? Can't wait for the next update.

Author's Response:

LOL! Brian had quite a shock, right? I promise you you will know everything about Liam's past since he supposedly died but you might be onto something :)

Thank you for your support! I really appreciate that :) 

Reviewer: Lisajean (Signed) · Date: September 23, 2017 09:22 PM · On: Chapter 4 - And so it begins

Ooh, I am getting excited! I love the twist on how they will be able to spend time together. Brian cannot resist Justin, not that he ever could lol 

 

it also seems Conner is a little jealous too? Hmmm? lol

 

And how can Justin not know it is him with this line..."Is that a particularly... difficult question?" Liam enunciates slowly, making Justin feel like a moron while his heart inexplicably skips a beat."  I mean that is just so Brian lol But then again Justin could think his attraction because he reminds him of Brian lol

 

 I cannot wait to see how this all works out.  Thank God I have a lot to do otherwise I would be dying waiting two weeks to find out lol 

I hope all is well with you <3

 

Lisa

Author's Response:

Yay!! I'm so happy you love that twist :D And yes, Brian resisting Justin is not an option :)

Connor is not necessarily jealous, although he sure doesn't understand what's going on between them.

and lol I know that line would make the readers scream, but I couldn't resist. Now, of course, it's been years since Justin saw Brian, so even though hearing this sentence causes a reaction, it doesn't necessarily make him understand instantly who he is talking too. And okay, I really wanted to explore this part where Justin wouldn't know who Liam is. I think it's one of the best part of this story :D

You're so kind! Thank you so much for your enthusiasm my friend, I'm thrilled you like it. Hope all is well with you, too. I'm okay, just very busy at the moment :)

Take care and thank you again <3 <3 <3

OMG! Excellent chapter! 

So, Brian is indeed Liam and he is in hiding to protect his loved ones from Malone. Obviously Brian was not the person who left the magazine that led Justin to him so who was it? Does Malone suspect he's alive? Well it's most likely just been confirmed if he does. I'm wondering though if maybe the mysterious man on the phone outside Brian's studio was someone Carl knows. I really hope so.

You did an amazing job describing Brian's appearance. He looks suspiciously like he has in recent years😍. I have to admit I'm a bit shocked that Justin didn't recognize Brian right away. Even more surprised that he didn't recognize his voice or even his gait or feel the usual spark when they shook hands. Justin is clearly battling with his inner self because he feels something is off but doesn't seem to be entertaining the idea that Brian and Liam are one in the same. Very puzzling indeed.

Brian is taking a huge risk interacting with Justin more than he probably should if he wants to keep his identity hidden. I'm a bit surprised Carl suggested it too. Justin will figure it out sooner or later. That will not be pretty. The betrayal will be worse because Brian didn't reveal himself to Justin right away. All it will take is a kiss and Justin will know or at least I hope he will. I'm not sure how long or even if Brian can pull this off. Brian and Justin are like magnets, they can't stay off each other when in close proximity.

The plot thickens... I love this mystery and can't wait to read the next installment!

Author's Response:

Yay!

I'm loving your thoughts on this. I won't confirm nor deny anything about Brian and Malone, but yay, love them so much!

When I first started writing this, I thought Justin must recognize him. But then, it wouldn't have been fun LOL And, realistically, Justin is convinced Brian is dead, so even though he's going to react strongly to Liam (you will see * grin *) for now, he can't imagine this is Brian. And the truth is, Brian is very different from the man he used to be, although I couldn't resist writing that line. Now, again, it's been six years, and while we fans identify some quotes easily, realistically, Justin doesn't, not after so many years.

Brian is taking a risk, that's true. Carl wants to know what's going on, and again, is confident Justin can't recognize Brian. But Carl doesn't know how close Justin and Brian were, not really, since he doesn't know Justin.

I promise things will spice up from now on! 

Thanks so much for another amazing comment Laura!! <3

Omg how can he not know that Liam is Brian?! Even if his hair is long & his beard is unkept, his eyes are the same & when he said, "Is that a particularly difficult question" just like he did in the diner....well duh Justin! I was expecting Justin to jump in his arms....maybe his years using drugs has changed his senses & intuition?? Such a great chapter! So excited for more!

Author's Response:

lolol Justin clearly can't imagine Brian is alive. Realistically, even though it's Brian, six years have passed and he isn't the same man, nor physically, nor emotionally. Honestly, Liam is not that attractive but don't worry, while Justin refuses to think his initial theory could be true, I have a feeling he will feel things he won't understand... And, okay, I'm evil but hey, what would have been the fun hif he had recognized him right away? * grin *

Love your reviews so much Glo! Hope all is well with you <3

Hi Alois,

 

All through this chapter I wanted to see Brian and Justin meet up, but I know you will drag it out, but I love that at the same time. I know, I am twisted, what can I say? lol 

 

I am still wondering who Liam is, not! lol

 

Brian's life, so far that it has turned out for okay. Except I know his heart aches to be with his friend's, since he has been away from the Pitts. I am glad he has a friend to hang out with, though.

Justin is such a determined little shit, I am thrilled he is going after Brian! I am sure you won't make it easy ;)

 

I am excited to see how this story unfolds and that the mastermind Harry Malone gets his due.

 

Thanks for the entertainment, as always :)

Lisa

 

Author's Response:

Hi Lisa,

As always, your review is a delight to read. Thank you!

I know readers are anticipating the meeting between Justin and 'Liam', but you're right, I'm afraid, it won't be easy lol

Thanks for supporting this one, Lisa, it means a lot :D I hope everything is okay with you and your family <3

Reviewer: LauraB725 (Signed) · Date: September 16, 2017 11:38 PM · On: Chapter 3 - Lakevallée

So it seems that Brian stumbled on to an art forgery scheme and ended up in federal witness protection for his trouble. And obviously Carl knows about it. Stockwell being dead would be a good thing under normal circumstances, however in this case not so much. It made Agent Bennett's job so much harder ugh.

So, Brian aka Liam is hiding out in Lakevallee - a small town from what I gather. Of course the guy he f***s more than once, Connor, is an artist. I'm surprised he's not blonde then again there could only ever be one blonde artist for Brian. I'm sure Connor is just a convenience because I imagine gay men are hard to come by in such a small town. Not to mention he probably has to keep a low profile. 

I have to wonder if it's a coincidence that his good friend, Gabriel, owns an art gallery in Lakevallee or if it's somehow connected to the forgery case. Maybe Brian is helping with the investigation? Hmmm. 

I'm glad Justin followed his instincts and made the trip to Lakevallee. I think it very well could have been Brian who left the clue behind in the cafe. I'm curious how long before he and Brian cross paths and how that will go!

Awesome update and looking forward to the next!

 

Author's Response:

Sorry, for the delay in responding, Laura, RL is really busy (such news, right? lol)

Love to read your thoughts so much! Thanks for sharing them :) Lakevallée is a town of artists, as you've pointed out. I love to read your theories :D

Everything will be answered at some point (not quite yet though) but I promise some action coming soon!

Thank you again and I will have another chapter up next Friday :) 

Reviewer: Predec2 (Signed) · Date: September 16, 2017 01:10 PM · On: Chapter 3 - Lakevallée

Hi, Alois!  I have just now had the chance to read Part 3, and OMG, I am loving this story more and more!  What you are so adept at is creating 3-dimensional other characters that you can see in your mind's eye. You don't just give us shallow characters that are rushed and dropped into a story, just to make the plot progress.  You make us learn about them, and in a lot of cases, care and sympathize with them; for example, in Connor's case.  Funny it would be the same name as the movie star guy you fucked Justin. ;) But I must compliment you on your ability to create such strong other characters in all your stories. :)

Speaking of which, I like how you have had 'Liam' aka Brian take up photography in his new life; that makes perfect sense to me, since he always seemed to enjoy taking photos on the show.  And I could definitely see him on a motorcycle as his mode of transportation.  I imagine there was definitely a time in which he had to grow accustomed to such a slower mode of living after being in the city. Perhaps you will give us some flashbacks on that period.

I also like how you are interweaving all the characters together to an inevitable meeting (at some point; something tells me that you are NOT going to just drop in B and J seeing each other that quickly, although I wouldn't mind).  Either that, or you will have them meet, but Justin might feel betrayed over Brian's disappearance and making him grieve for him all this time.  That is a LONG time to elapse; but if it meant keeping his loved ones safe, it is also such a 'Brian' thing to do.  He always showed how much he cared in actions, rather than verbally expressing it.

Speaking of which, I had never heard this expression before:  "hare off on a wild goose chase."  Interesting.  I'm more used to it being 'running off on a wild goose chase,' but I still knew exactly what you meant.  I love to see how writers express themselves at times from a different perspective. 

I adore a good suspenseful mystery, and this one has all the markings of that.  I can't wait to read the rest! Thank you for posting this one.  Loving it!  ~Kim

Author's Response:

You always write the most interesting reviews, Kim! Thank you so much for sharing all that with me, I'm over the moon.

I try creating interesting OC since the plots I come up with often have them, and I feel like you can't really enjoy a story if the OC is rushed. In that instance, the character of Connor is one I really love, fucked up but very interesting to write about. And I honestly didn't remember the name Connor from QAF, until my beta mentioned it LOL But since I like the name, I kept it.

Since the town I created is a town of artists, it was netural for Liam to become a photographer. And I couldn't resist the Harley as a mode of transportation. We will know at some point what 'Liam' is doing here and why he's still alive and never return to the Pitts. Also, why in a way, he's not the same man he was before.

Hmm, now, when is Justin going to meet Liam? Well, you will know soon, although, it might not turn out exactly like the readers expect * hint, hint * and no, I won't say more, ha! As for Justin discovering the truth, I fear you're onto something... we will see if and how they can overcome such a lie.

About the expression 'hare off on a wild good chase', we come up with it with my beta ;) I'm still learning the English vocabulary and trying to better myself, and Karynn helps me more than I can say with that.

I'm so grateful for your support and I adore the fact that you want to know more! Thank you for reading this one, I deeply appreciate that. Hope you're okay, my friend :) <3

Wow! Okay first of all...is Lakevallee in Canada? I was trying to figure out where exactly it is from your desription. Sounds lovely, it is a real place right? Now on to my theory: Liam is Brian who is under the witness protection program thru the FBI. And of course he's attracted to artists, duh! lol Love the Desperate Houswives & Harley references. And now Justin has come to town! Woohoo, things are gonna get hot around the lake! Although I cannot imagine Brian Kinney in a plaid shirt and a cap. This is going to be a very enlightening trip for Sunshine huh?

Author's Response:

Hey Glo! And no, Lakevallée is an imaginary town in Montana. It was easier for me to create one since I don't live in America and could imagine it as I wanted ;)

I so love your theory! We will know soon if part of it is right, since some questions will be answered as the story proceeds. Glad you like the reference to 'Desperate Housewives' and Liam's Harley! LOL And Liam's style is quite different from Brian's, right? Justin is in for some surprises...

Love to read your reviews! Hope all if well with you <3 :)

Oh mon dieu ! Est ce que Liam est Brian ? Je crois que j'aimerai ça ! Super chapitre Alois, vraiment on
rentre dans l'histoire petit à petit avec juste ce qu'il faut pour se poser plein de questions ! Merciiii

Author's Response:

Je crois que tu as deviné! et je suis super contente que tu sois toujours intéressée pour connaitre la suite! Ce chapitre était essentiel pour introduire de nouveaux personnages qui auront un rôle important dans cette histoire, qui sera surtout centrée sur Brian et Justin.

Encore un grand merci Marie-France! J'espère que tout va bien dans le sud :)

Hi Alois,

I love mystery and suspense and you delivered on that in the very first chapter! Very intriguing and of course you sucked me in pretty much from the first couple of paragraphs.

I'm so relieved that this is not a death fic! As usual Brian is in the thick of things. I loved his interaction with Carl and am extremely curious who shot him. I have a feeling this is part of the mystery though and not something we'll know all that soon. 

Very interesting twist on the Stockwell arc. Brilliant story idea and I'm anxious to read more!

Laura

Author's Response:

Hi Laura,

I'm glad you want to know more! You're right, there are a lot of things that won't be revealed right away, and it's going to take a while before all mysteries are revealed. I hope you will enjoy the ride :)

I'm thrilled to have you on board :) Thank you for your amazing support!

Hi, Alois! OMG, I am so hooked on this story already! And as usual, you evoke such emotions in your story that just pulls the reader in. I'm greedy for more! Can't wait to read the rest of this! Wil be eagerly waiting for the next part. Thank you for writing and posting this. Loving the plot. ~Kim

Author's Response:

Hey Kim! And aw, your review makes me so happy! I had a great (if I can say that lol) time writing Justin in this chapter. It's hard but also very revealing of how much Brian means (meant?) to him. And this is just the beginning since a lot of revelations are coming... Be prepared for the ride! I truly hope you will enjoy this one, since I have such a great time writing it :)

Thank you again for your support and friendship <3

I know you said this is not a death fic so I will not have a breakdown over the end of the chapter. But I feel like the shooter is someone Brian knows well and I may be reaching , but could it be Emmett?  Just a thought. Great start to the story.

Author's Response:

I promise this is not a death fic, and I hope it makes your reading more bearable! And thanks so much for sharing your theory! I promise you will know if you're correct or not at one point, although, it might take a while *  grin *

Thank you for commenting!!
