Nooooooooooooooooo an infinity of noooooooo this story cannot be over please say it’s not. This was beautiful so beautiful. The wedding was perfect but what was even more incredible was Brian’s speech wow it blew me away so much. It words touched me and brought out so many emotions. Please write a story with them finding a house together. I’m sure it would be fun to see Javk and Gus going with them to pick out the house and I bet they get that mansion after all. Thank you for this story xx

 

im doing better now my blood sugars still everywhere so I think I’ll have to be seen again to fix that. 

 

Hope uoh are well and Happy Easter 🐣 xx

Hi, Alois! I decided to re-read this wonderful story recently and I fell in love all over again. I was so excited to jump back into this world, with Brian, Justin, Jack, Jesse, Emmett, and everyone else. You took the characters from canon and made them into your own, and the original characters you’ve added turned out to be as wonderful and complex as everyone else. While I’m usually interested only in Brian and Justin and their relationship, I was genuinely invested in Jesse and his romance with Aaron — and his friendship with Brian. You’ve created such interesting story-lines and they all tugged at my heartstrings.

 The way you alternated between past and present has captivated me back when I was first reading this story and it had the same effect on me now. It was infuriating, too (in a good way) — I got so absorbed in the past, I didn’t want it to end at all. I wanted it to go on and on, without interruptions. But when Present started, I became absorbed once again and this time, I didn’t *it* to end. And this was an endless circle! So I gulped the whole story down pretty quickly, ignoring my need to sleep — and it was so worth it.

I love how at first, Brian and Justin’s relationship was so strained. I love that it took them a while to get back together in the present — it was realistic and believable. The process of them falling in love was, too — Justin slipped in under Brian’s system of defenses gradually and steadily, and his loyalty and devotion were so in-canon. And Brian, his patience despite his abruptness, his love and tenderness that even his assholish behavior couldn’t hide.

Brian’s descend into self-made hell was so painful and heartbreaking – but I loved it because I love angst (with a happy ending) and you described it perfectly. My heart was breaking in the most delicious way. The whole situation with Jesse – I really didn’t except such reaction. For him to blame Brian… but I could also understand him, and it made everything much harder to take. Poor Brian, but poor Jesse, too. And poor Aaron and Justin, who had to deal with the aftermath for months and months. The moment when Justin finally left Brian was absolutely devastating. Still, I loved (I swear I’m not a sadist) how gutted Brian was and how he blamed Lindsay – it was such as realistic and heartfelt display of pain and anger and self-hatred — trying to blame another person for your pain... this heartache was beautifully  balanced with a happier present, which made everything easier and lovelier. Ii couldn’t get enough.

Thank you so much for this amazing story and for such a lovely, wonderful end! I got immense pleasure from reading it and I can’t wait to catch up with your other works!

Author's Response:

OMG, Katrin! I was so happy to see your name on the review, and what an amazing review once again. You really know how to put a huge smile on my face. And coming from you, who are so talented yourself, I really was blushing hard :D

I hope you're okay and that real like is treating you well. How are you?

And again, thank you so much for telling me how you feel about this story in such great details. It's been a while since I wrote that one, but I truly like it, and am always wondering if I will ever come back to that universe. I did write a little companion story in this universe, so if you haven't read it, it's called 'the date' and is angst-free compared to that one.

But really, I'm so excited to see you back!!! Hope we can chat soon :) Take care <3 <3 <3

Hi Judit!

I'm sorry for the delay in my response but I wanted to thank you for your kind review. It's always great to know new readers enjoy this story.

Love the story and love the dynamics of the characters in this universe.  I would happily revisit for any sequels you may have planned. Adding to favorites immediately :)

Author's Response:

Hi Nicky! 

I'm very glad you enjoyed this story! I had a great time writing the dynamics between all those characters in this universe. I wrote a companion story with my beta called 'The date' and taking place between the last chapter and the epilogue of Entwined if you want to read it. It's mainly a humurous story though.

Thank you for your comment. I always love to know readers are still discovering this one :)

* Hugs from France to New Zealand! (I think you're from New Zealand, right? If not, I'm sorry!!) *

From beginning to end this was entrancing and addicting.  You have such a way with words and an ability to weave stories so they're interesting and enthralling!  I wish I could be like that!!

I can't wait to read what you write next.  Thank you!  :)

Hi my friend! First, I’m soooo sorry I’ve not reviewed earlier. To be honest I don’t know why I’ve waited so long. But here it is.

I’ve said it before, I really love your writing style. You created such a loveable mood at the wedding during the speech of Brian. And when he starts to speak about Justin… :-) You were right, ridiculously romantic! No, to be honest, I think you let them stay in character this way. I think it would have been too much if there would have been a proposal or something else. But the way you let Brian act and speak just suits him. And I feel very happy for them after all the things they’ve gone through. And although Justin might not expected them I really felt happy for him hearing those three words from Brian at least. They are so cute and beautiful together!

So, what should I say what I haven’t said before… THANKS for this brilliant, beautiful, exciting and amazing story! There was everything: tension, pain, heartbreaking-moments, sorrow, joy, friendship, family, humor, hot scenes, cute and beautiful moments, trust and love! Don’t stop writing! I’ve seen you posted another story yesterday. So, I’m curious…. And I really hope there will be this double-date some day!

So, a big big double-hug and all the best for you! Warmest regards, a.

Author's Response:

Hey! 

Aww, I think I'm blushing right now. What can I say to thank you properly? I'm so, SO thrilled you enjoyed this story so much. Thank you also for all the comments. It's very kind and amazing of you to have taken the time to review each chapter with so much details. So, really, THANK YOU :)

And yes! I'm publishing a new story which will be very different from that one, and which is a collaboration with another author. I hope you enjoy it, but I must warn you it's completely different from Entwined. Not as serious and angsty.

The double date is definitely going to be written with my beta soon, too. I'm eager to place Brian in such a situation LOL.

A gigantic hug to you!!!!!!! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU ♥♥♥

Warmest regards :)

Beautiful ending I'm a bit sad that your fic finished can't wait what you come up with next

Author's Response:

Thank you Tasha for letting me know you have enjoyed this story. It makes me very happy!

I will post a new story with another author in the next few weeks, which will be very different, but I hope you will enjoy it. Happy New Year to you and your family ♥

In tears right now... not only from Brian's beautiful speech, but because I am already missing this story. Thank you so much for this beautiful story which will now always be listed as one of my all time favorites.

And yes, I DO think the story of Brian and Justin's double date with Gus and Lily needs to be told. 

Merry Christmas!

Author's Response:

Aww, you have no idea how precious your reviews have been during all this ride. I was always looking forward to what you were thinking. And knowing it will be one of your favorite truly warms my heart. I'm so happy!!!

I will work on the double date, because really, Brian Kinney on a date with his son? How could I resist? lolol It will be a collaboration work with my beta. We hope to post in a couple of months of so.

THANK YOU sincerely for all the support you've given me. I can't express how deeply I had appreciated it. Merry Christmas to you and your family :)

Hi Alois 😊. I don't remember what I said before my review was lost but I'll do my best with my repost! A beautiful ending to a beautiful story! What else can I say that I haven't already said 😊. Thank you for taking me on this awesome journey. It was both heartbreaking and heartwarming and I enjoyed every moment. I hope that you plan to write QAF again. I will most definitely read it! 😘d84;a039;

Author's Response:

Thank you so much for reposting your review! But most of all, thank you for your support all along. Again, I can't say enough how precious reviewers who have sent me words of support when I was feeling like giving up really are. 

I doubt I will ever engage in a story like this one again (read long and angsty), but I have a couple of collaborations in the work, so this is probably not my last post :)

Thank you again Laura and see you soon! :):):)

Reviewer: Predec2 (Signed) · Date: December 18, 2016 03:59 PM · On: Epilogue

Hi, my friend - I wish I could recall everything I had said in my previous review about your story, but hopefully I can think of most of it. :) First of all, you have such a wonderful writing style that evokes great emotion in your words.  To write scenes from both the present and the past seems difficult to me, too, but you have done it with ease in this story. :)

I am very glad that Jesse and Brian's friendship was capable of being healed, and very happy for Jesse and Aaron's wedding. And Brian's heartfelt declaration toward Justin was so amazing. 

I still think the best part of all in this story is the portrait of Jack you have described, and how his relationship grew and changed over time to where it is now.  His relationships with both his son and his grandson are so precious! And in a bittersweet sort of way, Jack's condition/personality after his accident allowed him a second chance to be the father that Brian had always craved, to the point where Brian can now express his affection for this 'new' Jack; something he could have never done with the pre-accident Jack who was definitely not worth anyone's sympathy. 

I know this has been a difficult journey for you at times, so I would just like to commend you for your perserverence and determination in getting it done.  It would have truly been a shame to have not had the pleasure of reading this story from beginning to end. 

I do hope one day you will be inspired to write again, for you are truly a gifted writer. Thank you once more for being an author on MW.  XOXO  ~Kim

 

Author's Response:

Your review means so much to me. I'm glad I could touch you with my writing, make you feel the characters' emotions. Also, I have to admit that alternating between past and present was way more exhausting that I thought. Maybe that's why I had so much difficulty with this fic. I'm glad that the result flows, though, but I doubt I will ever try that exercice again, or at least, not with such a long story.

There were so many things I wanted to cover with this fic. Friendship. Family. How the birth of a child can change a man. Forgiveness, but most of all, flaws. Humans have flaws. Well except for Justin, who is clearly a saint in that fic LOL

I enjoyed very much writing about Jack. I will maybe revisit this universe just to be able to write about him again. The three Kinneys men here were a bowl of fresh air to write about toward the end.

Thank you for your support all along. I have no doubt when I say that, that I would have given up if not for you. I'm still...exhausted by this fic to be honest. So, your review and congratulations are very percious to me.

As you know, I've started a fic with another author, which I want to finish. So, this is not the last for me. Karynn and I will also write a oneshot with Brian and Gus from this universe. I will probably use your ideas ;)

A big hug, my dear friend :)
