37. Not a chapter, sorry! by Alois [Reviews - 0] (3 words)

Hi everyone,

 

I’m sorry for this post but I wanted to warn everyone still reading that I’m going to take a break now, before finishing the story.

 

I am finishing this, of course. It’s been nearly six months since I wrote the first word of ‘Choices’ and I’ve posted at least one chapter a week ever since. This story has taken a lot of place in my life and I won’t ever let it down.

 

I’ve had some wonderful support on this. I think the people who had helped me more than I can say to keep going will recognize themselves while reading this. I say it again, I wouldn’t have gone so far without the beautiful comments I’ve received. It’s really what had helped me writing week after week. You have no idea how many emotions I’ve felt, while reading your reviews. You’re amazing. Thank you so much again.

 

That being said, I also had to fight to keep writing. I understand some readers have difficulties with this fic, I truly do. Between my take on Brian, my refusal to make Justin only number one in this fic - even if he isn’t number two either - and the angst I created, I know it’s a painful ride and I understand those for who this is too much. Moreover, I’ve said it before; this story isn’t about Brian and Justin’s romance, and I know it’s a difficult concept for many readers. But at that point, I admit I have a hard time dealing with it and writing the last storyline.

 

I just need a little time to finish this, on my own. Feedbacks can be a real motivation sometimes, but it also can have the opposite effect. And I’m going to spare you the details about my RL, but writing is time consuming. Until now, I’d disciplined myself to write at least a chapter a week. This is a lot of work for me, as I’m not bilingual and have a full life, a husband, children, a job; and of course, it’s also a lot of time for my beta, who is also overwhelmed with her own works, and without whom I couldn’t do it. I can’t thank her enough for the amazing work she's done on this story.

 

I feel like I’m saying too much, again LOL. Sorry about that.

 

I promise you I will finish this. I apologize for this. I don’t know what else to say. Hopefully, I will post within the next month. I hope some of you will still be interested to read the end of Brian’s journey…

 

Take care everyone and thank you again for your support.

 

 

 

Alois

 

38. Chapter 37 by Alois [Reviews - 0] (4437 words)

Hi everyone,

First of all, as always, I want to thank my beta for her invaluable help, again. You're the best, Kim.

This is the next chapter. I've not finished to write the story yet, so there won't be another post for quite some time after that one, but I wanted to post this one anyway, as a way to thank all my followers without whom there wouldn't even be a story to begin with. You've been my strength since the very first day. Thank you so much.

I also take advantage of this update to wish you all a merry Christmas and I hope 2015 will bring you happiness, health, and everything you could wish for!

Take care everyone :)

NB: Back to the story, Gus visits his dad and Brian decides to ask for some answers...

39. Chapter 38 by Alois [Reviews - 0] (3987 words)

Thank you Kim as always to help me improving this story :)

I know I've said it would be quite some time before I'd post the next chapter, but I wanted to wish you all a Happy New Year and to send you my best wishes for you and your family, and what better way to do it than with a new chapter? ;)

This chapter is from Simon's POV. More revelations are coming, making Brian reach a decision.

40. Chapter 39 by Alois [Reviews - 0] (4427 words)

Hi everyone! I finally am finishing this story. There will be one more chapter and an epilogue after this one. I'm confident I can post regularly these three last parts, so here is chapter 39.

Of course, I want to thank all of you who are still reading. Some of you might hate me by the end of the story (I hope not!) but the end had been in my head for such a long time now, that I wanted to respect it.

I want to express my eternal gratitude to my dear friend Kim. I'm pretty sure that I wouldn't have gone so far without her, and of course, the story wouldn't be so well-written!

So, now, you can follow Brian and Justin as they prepare to visit Aidan...

41. Chapter 40 by Alois [Reviews - 7] (3726 words)

This is it. The last chapter. I can't believe it...

The epilogue will be focused on Brian and Justin's love (as well as Aidan's fate). But this last chapter is focused on Brian seeing Aidan again for the first time in ten years...

As always, I want to thank Kim for her advises and help.

 

42. Epilogue by Alois [Reviews - 34] (3064 words)

Three years later...
