Beautiful. (That's the only word that's needed to described this chapter.)
I almost cried myself over Brian getting so in touch with his own emotions and accepting his love for Justin. Brian's heart expanding made me think of the Grinch, although Brian was always very generous toward his friend. :)

Thanks for writing such long insightful chapters. I like the way this is headed.
Author's Response: Thank you for reading and commenting! I hope you continue to like where the last few chapters take our boys! :)

Please.. please ... please...No more roadblocks or unfortunate things thrown in their path. They both had suffered long enough.
Really hope you could throw more great and fortunate things to them..
Btw, I also like the way you made Brian so vulnerable when he felt Justin's doubting him, and he's thinking wisely the answer to give, to prevent both of them hurt themselves again. I really love it!
Author's Response: Well, there will be more great things coming; whether or not they are also unfortunate is up to you to decide! :) (sorry, I had to tease!)
Thank you so much for reading and commenting! :D

I was very busy yesterday, so it took me a few hours to finish reading/listening this chapter. I had to stop at one point because I thought I had heard wrong. I was as shocked and as bugged-eyed as Justin. I had no idea Brian was headed to raw sex and monogamy. This was not the Brian Kinney I had been reading in this story, previously. I had begun to wonder why Justin was wasting his time at times. Jesse was the final straw, but as Brian told Justin or thought, he was able to resist temptation.
I was amazed and thoroughly satisfied with this chapter.
:)
Author's Response: Thank you for reading! I think Brian was as surprised as Justin with the raw sex...I don't know if I was successful in how I presented it, but it was meant to be a spur of the moment "in the heat of passion" decision on his part. I do hope the rest of Brian's actions this chapter were in line with the slow progression he had been making in previous chapters. That was my ultimate design for this story.
Thank you for continuing to comment, and read! I appreciate all the comments! :)

Wow - "Naked love", indeed this was to everyone's satisfaction, in several meanings ... And your Brian? Well, you took him through a really hard time, turning his life completly upside down at a moment's notice, and he took over responsibility without hesitation. He is a very complex character, with a one-sided self-perception, and in your story, through those circumstances, you forced him to change, and you gave him the opportunity to develop and show different aspects of his personality. So - very well done !!!
But, only 4 -5 chapters left :( Are you sure ? I will miss this sory very much when it ends, so maybe you can consider a little bit more ... ;)
Great chapter again, thanks !!!
BTW, I always wonder - will Brian ever learn what happened that night in Toronto with Sam?
Author's Response: Thank you! I'm glad you could see the progression of Brian. It was my main focus and I really was hoping I accomplished a true change in him based on circumstance.
Sadly, yes, only a few more chapters left.
Thanks again for reading and commenting! I appreciate it so much! :)
And I can tell you that what happened that night in Toronto with Sam will forever be a mystery.

I kept holding my breath as I was scrolling down the page, hoping there wasn't soem monkey wrench ad thankful that there wasn't. I can't wait for the next chapter.

I think this was a wonderful chapter and a wonderful way to start winding things down....hopefully there is a wedding in the near future ;)
Author's Response: Thank you so much for reading and commenting!
With a few more chapters to go, there'll be a few more developments to come... :)

This tale has unravel amazingly, and I don't think you've overshot with Brian at all. I'll admit that I was at times chomping at the bit for the story to get on with it, already! LOL But retrospectively, to get where Brian is now, he needed every single introspective thought, every event, every vacillating or equivocal thought.
The character Kinney is a very, deeply introspective figure. Unfortunately, he tends to make decisions based upon only a portion of his self-musings and lets sex dull out the sound of the remainder. Putting him in a situation where he can't ethically have sex to shut up his internal dialogue, he is forced to contend with it - to listen to himself totally for once.
I've never seen Brian as the innately promiscuous man so many discern him to be. He is highly sexual, of course, but most of the promiscuity stems from the trap of his reputation - a trap he loaded and set himself. Once let out of the trap, he was able to uncover the real issue - his own self loathing - and begin to deal with it.
Good job - very good job - on setting up the reveal. Brian can love, can be monogamous (voluntarily and happily) and still be the highly sexual man (and eternal asshole) he is. Thank god he fell in love with someone as highly sexed as he is!!! LOL
Have loved this story every step of the way.

Author's Response: Thank you, thank you, thank you for this comment. You have made my day. Not only because you get what I was doing with Brian, but because you stuck with it even when it was trying your patience (haha! Sorry!)! (it was trying my patience too, believe me!) There was a stretch of chapters that I just knew were going to be hard for people to make it through, but I had to give Brian the time to think, and feel, and grow and I'm so happy you can see that now! :) I just hope I didn't lose too many people because of the slow development in the middle...
I totally agree with you about Brian - he may be highly sexualized but that doesn't automatically translate to mean he's a man-slut. And his tendency to be promiscuous doesn't mean he can't be monogamous, either.
Thank goodness for Justin indeed :D
Thank you again and again for reading and commenting! I greatly appreciate hearing back from my readers!

wow such a lot of ground covered in this chapter and omg hot! lol
Author's Response: Thank you for reading!
Yes, I had to move things a long a little bit - and of course give the guys their well deserved reunion. :)

Based purely on his canon character, Brian is out of character, yes. But after everything he's been through in this story, I don't think he's too out of character. Becoming a full time dad, HIV scare etc, would change anyone and it's up to you as the author to decide how much. That's the beauty of writing.
Author's Response: yes, canonically, he's definitely out of character, but I'm glad to hear you think he's behaving in character for the situation I've presented.
thank you so much for reading and commenting! I appreciate it!
