Wow this so well written you described Brian's complex feeling towards Joan so well

Reviewer: mary48 (Signed) · Date: March 21, 2021 05:26 AM · On: Still We Believe

this was a truly wonderful chapter!! i sooo enjoyed it. you could certainly add to it, but i really think it is perfect as is... anything more would be redundant.

of course if you do write more, i'll read it, but i'm quite content with it as it is...

 

ty so much for this story!

My heart broke for Brian, he reverted to that little boy hearing that news I think. He is scared and doesn't know how to handle it. I'm glad Justin understands him and is there because he really needs that support. I want to hug them so badly. Brilliant work x

Me encantó, está tan bien escrito respeta fielmente la escencia de los personajes. Parece parte del show, es una secuela. Absolutamente maravilloso.

Me conmovió, pude sentir la angustia y el alivio de Brian.

Gracais por esto

It's good to see that Peter will be part of the family with Gus Brian and Justin. Some Kinney together. Thank you!

If it helps I struggled to read this as I was so teary with Brian and Peter. This was an awesome series I loved it thank you

Love seeing how Peter and Alexis fit in the Kinney-Taylor family.

very touching and real. Having been through the dying process with several family members in Hospice care, the end can be very gentle and lovely. Please continue the story. The maturity of the characters is appreciated.

I'm so sorry that my response is so belated. Thank you so much. There is another part that will hopefully be finished in the next couple days!

I was reading this while getting my kids ready for school. LMAO. It was so good. I love the whole relationship with Brian and Justin. How they are there for one another. You had me in tears when Brian went to talk to his mom. You did great, thank you for sharing.

Author's Response:

Thank you so much! I'm so glad you liked it! 

Reviewer: YumYumPM (Signed) · Date: January 26, 2020 02:30 PM · On: Goodbye Again

Wonderful chapter.   Michael seems to be able to talk with Justin and not talk down to him.  Meeting Peter is a bonus.  Getting to tell his mom all the things he felt wrong about growing up a Kinney was good for Brian.  Glad the nurse understood what Brian wanted.  You've given us enough for another chapter later.  

Author's Response:

Thank you so much!! Thanks for pointing out Michael and the nurse -- I think it was important for 1) Justin to have someone who "gets" it (Michael) so that he could have a little more clarity moving forward, and 2) Brian to have someone who saw the situation for what it was, even in her limited capacity (Aubrie) and showed him some compassion. I hope to have more ready soon! :)

Reviewer: rulisteningbj (Signed) · Date: January 25, 2020 01:53 AM · On: Goodbye Again

Yes, more please!  This was so lovely.  I am so happy for Brian feeling so free finally.  Very nice that he has some blood family he will be getting to know and sounds like appreciate.

Author's Response:

Thank you!! I'm happy for Brian too -- both that he's been "released" but that he's also found something good within his family to hold onto. More coming :) 

Reviewer: cullengirl08 (Signed) · Date: January 23, 2020 11:45 PM · On: Goodbye Again

I love, love, loved the update to the prior piece.   Brian's visit with Joan went really well.   He got everything and more off his chest and he left with a definite sense of peace as well.   And even though Joan didn't indicate anything while he was there, I definitely think she heard every word he said to her and probably respected him more for it.   

I am glad that he met and got to know Peter as well.   Even with the small amount of time he was shown on the show, it was obvious that he had differing views of Brian than the rest of the family, and I was very glad to see that be continued here.   Peter taking the initiative and inviting Brian out for coffee and even calling him at his apartment really meant a lot to him, and I can totally see a great relationship building between the two of them going forward.   

I am so glad that you mentioned there would probably be more, because I can't wait to see this be continued.   

Author's Response:

Thank you, I'm so glad you liked it! I'm not sure how Joan felt with Brian's revelation, though she did likely hear it all. It was more about him finally having the nerve to do what he'd always deserved to do. I don't remember Peter being that significant of a character in the show, so that gave him a lot of leeway in his older years -- I think it makes a lot of sense that, much like Brian, he kind of fell into the cracks of his family. I think his bonding with Brian will only lead to good things for them both :) Stay tuned for more!

Authors usually are not very interested in Peter, or if they are, it's to make him gay - so thank you for choosing different path.

Preferring to dig deeper in the dynamic of Kinney family and exploring characters beyond their sexuality gives you the ground to reach the conclusion that everybody can choose to work on becoming a decent human being, despite their painful childhood.

Your Brian is exactly the man I've hoped he'll become in time, if daring to take the risk to be vulnerable (i.s. to fall in love :-))
I'm glad you gave him the opportunity to finally express his feelings to Joan, I think they've both needed closure.

Beautifully written, more please!

Author's Response:

This is the second time I've used Peter in a similar storyline (check out "Family Ties" -- specifically "The Grief That Does Not Speak" for another small Peter cameo). I like that Brian is able to find someone in his family who has had to walk a similar line, so that he doesn't feel so alone or lost in the tragedy of his own upbringing -- and now he and Peter can be something positive for each other. And yes, Brian definitely needed the closure. I haven't quite decided what Joan's ultimate reaction to it would have been -- but suffice to say, she DID hear; that part just isn't important to Brian. Stay tuned! I can't get this 'verse out of my brain quite yet ;) Thank you so much!!

That was awesome and I am thrilled Brian has got peace from Joan and is free from Claire. The major gift though is Peter and Alex that is wonderful twist.

Author's Response:

Thank you so much! Brian definitely needed to be "released" from the emotional confines of his family. I'm excited to explore how he might move forward with Peter and Alexis in his life, for sure :)

Emotion packed story.  My initial thought was that Brian had cheated,glad I was wrong.  Joan's illness would have brought a flood of emotions to Brian, who hates expressing emotions.  Emjoyed the story and always glad for a happy ending for B&J.  Bill

Author's Response:

I'm glad you were wrong too! Haha. I wanted Joan to be a major plot twist, though, so I'm glad it seemed to work out that way! Happy to hear you enjoyed, thanks so much! BTW: Do you live in PA? It's where I grew up :)
