Hi, Dorothee! Thank you for reading this one and especially commenting. It's always a thrill to receive a new review on one of my stories. I'm so glad you enjoyed it. Thank you for all the support and encouragement you've given me throughout these years.  I hope to post another one in the future. ~Kim

This was a great little story!!   It was nice to see things from someone else's  perspective - a college roommate of Brian's no-less, to see first hand how much he has changed over the years.   It was definitely an eye opener for him.    But I'm not surprised in the least that at the first sign of Cam trying to come on to him, that Brian deflected and changed the subject.

Love it

It was a bit OOC for Brian, but could be canon, seeing as it happens after 513. Well, Brian is a lot like what he would have been like if the wedding would have happened. I enjoyed it thoroughly, though. I still can't wipe the smile off my face! I sooo love the romance fics, which is why I am here. Thank you for writing this!



Author's Response:

Hi, there! Yes, Brian is probably a little too smaltzy here for some. ;)  But I'm glad you still enjoyed it. I do like to think he might have changed after 513.  I certainly think the bombing was an eye-opener to him, and that he realized what he could have lost.  I'm very happy that you enjoyed this one regardless. :)

 

Thank you for reading, and especially for taking the time to comment; both are deeply appreciated.  ~Kim

This little gem somehow slipped past me, how I don't know, it was wonderful! Not to syrupy just sweet enough.



Author's Response:

Thank you so much! I always thought it was possible for everyone else to see how much in love these two were simply on how they looked at each other and the tone of their voices, so I was trying to hopefully convey that in this one-fic. I am delighted that you enjoyed it! Thank you for reading, and especially for leaving me feedback letting me know that you did. *Hugs* ~Kim

Another story showing immense love of Brian to Justin 😙

B/J forever ...;)...

Thanks you Predec2 for another happy stories.

 



Author's Response:

You're very kind! I'm delighted that you enjoyed this story. I always thought that others could see perhaps what the boys could not; how deeply in love they were, and I like to think they stayed that way for a long time.;)

Thank you for choosing to read this story, and especially for taking the time to comment! That really helps to keep me motivated, and helps me know that readers are still enjoying what I write. *Hugs* ~Kim

Reviewer: 6frog (Anonymous) · Date: July 09, 2015 05:18 PM · On: Chapter 1

 This is the most delightful fic. Even if 'Cam' didn't feel comfy with Justin around we all will take great pleasure in Brian being able to realy love Justin. Well done, thank you.

Love from 6frog                                                                         



Author's Response:

Hi, there! I'm so happy you enjoyed this fic! Thank you for reading, and thank you for taking the time to leave feedback. I was always intrigued by the thought of someone silently observing the two men and being able to readily tell how much in love they are.  So glad you enjoyed it! Thanks again.  ~Kim

Reviewer: Frances (Signed) · Date: July 02, 2015 01:10 AM · On: Chapter 1

Another adorable story.  I really enjoy your writing style and the characters are so believable.

I'm a little embarrassed to be adding ANOTHER of your stories to my favorites (because you called me out - lol!), but I can't help it.  Thanks for sharing.  :-)

PS: I'm just starting "Tame the Wild Stallion" too.  Loving it so far.



Author's Response:

Hi again, Frances - Thank you again for reading and especially taking the time to comment.;) I liked the idea of the boys' love being readily discerrned by someone not so close to them.  I always thought that while Brian wasn't normally the most demonstrative of people when it came to expressing his love, I like to think that his expressions, voice, and body language would clearly broadcast his love for Justin.;) 

So happy you liked this one!  Thank you so much for all your kinds words. *Hugs* ~Kim

Reviewer: Severus_divides_into_H (Signed) · Date: February 21, 2015 01:12 PM · On: Chapter 1

Oh my, what a story! Thank you so much for it, Kim, this is one of my most favorite themes – I *love* looking at Brian and Justin through someone else’s eyes, it emphasizes their feelings for each other, it shows this deep connection between them even more clearly. And of course I love the inevitable jealousy and envy, because who wouldn’t want Brian/Justin?:)

I loved Cam, you made him so alive, it’s like he’s been a part of QAF for years. He seemed very familiar. Great idea – to make him Brian’s ex-roommate, it’s realistic and it has a great potential. I loved Cam’s interest toward Brian – and his shock and disbelief when he realized why exactly Brian couldn’t sleep with him. I always enjoyed seeing people’s reaction to Justin and the role he plays in Brian’s life - especially if these people knew only the ‘old’ Brian.

Thanks, Kim! You described wonderfully our boys’ love. They were so tender, so loving to each other… I melted when I saw how Brian greeted Justin. The love was palpable. Amazing story. Thank you!   



Author's Response:

Hi, Katrin! Thank you so much as always for your thoughtful feedback.  I truly appreciate it. I thought it would be nice as you said to see the two boys from someone else's perspective. I think they said so much about their love without saying anything at all.;

Thank you for reading, and for always taking the time to leave a comment.  That is so motivating to me. *Hugs*  ~Kim

Reviewer: lindc (Anonymous) · Date: February 20, 2015 09:34 PM · On: Chapter 1

Nice one, listeners loved it. Nice to see some wanna bes shut down. I tickles me no end. Hope yoi are well and coping with the weather. People should move to Ca. Don't have to worry about snow. We are all doing well. BB had a bad cold from virus we think. Better now. Do you think KMKM will be in theaters or just shown at random places. We want to see.it. Thought you might know (YOU DA BOMB) per Lee!! Ha!

Author's Response:

Hi, Lindc! Tell Lee right back at him! :)  Thank you for reading. I'm so happy your group enjoyed it.;p)  We just had several inches of snow fall overnight; you should see all the birds out there at the feeder.  I'm glad to hear that Brian is feeling better; please give him and all the others my best.  I really appreciate all the support you give me.;)

As for KMKM, Casper told me that he is hoping to get the film premiered during LA's Outfest in July of this year. But that is only if all the post-production goes smoothly.  And if it's like SGP, I think it will hit the festival circuit, rather than all the big theaters. If you follow my LJ or Twitter account, though, I'll be keeping an eye out for showings and will post a link to them. I think it will be a great film!  I just wish I had a better way to contact some of you, because I have an exclusive photo of Gale and Van together from the film, but I'm not going to publicly post it. 

Anyway, thanks again for everything! I'm working on the update to Tame the Wild Stallion, so that will be up next. *Hugs*  ~Kim

It's always fun to see an outsider's perspective of our favorite couple. Poor guy, fantasizing about Brian for years only to be shut down.  Mr. Kinney is a one man man these days and there is nothing sweeter. :) *Big Hugs*



Author's Response:

Hi, Mandi! Yes, the guy didn't stand a chance, did he? Thank you so much for reading, and for the feedback, my friend. *Hugs* ~Kim

Reviewer: Manado (Signed) · Date: February 19, 2015 01:11 PM · On: Chapter 1

I think if I had a chance to see Brian and Justin in some coffeshop I would instantly recognize them as loving, beautiful couple. they just made for each other and no one had a chance to stand between them. even today in real ilife everytime people talk about ideal couple, I instanly think about Brian-Justin lol. great story like always! 



Author's Response:

Thank you for reading,and for your comments, Dony! I really appreciate you taking the time to do that.  And I know what you mean; I think they oftentimes could say so much without even speaking - just by the way they looked at each other.  That is the feeling I was trying to convey in this story. Thank you again for the support! *Hugs*  ~Kim

Reviewer: jax (Anonymous) · Date: February 19, 2015 06:15 AM · On: Chapter 1

Great story! Maybe you can add to it . . .



Author's Response:

Thank you for reading, and for the comments!  I'm very honored you would want more of it, but it was only intended as a short one-shot before I head back to my WIPs.  Thank you, though, for the support. It is greatly appreciated. *Hugs*  ~Kim

Reviewer: Elly (Anonymous) · Date: February 18, 2015 05:42 PM · On: Chapter 1

Poor Cam ;) Great story, thanks Kim! Greeting El. xx



Author's Response:

Hi, Elly! Yeah, Cam didn't stand a chance once a certain someone's heart was firmly lassoed.;) Thanks for reading, and for your comments, my friend. *Hugs* ~Kim

Reviewer: tiger062 (Signed) · Date: February 18, 2015 01:34 PM · On: Chapter 1

Poor Cam...... A lovely story showing the love between Brian and Justin. I enjoyed the prospective - it's great when someone outside the 'family' see their love and commitment to one another. Bet Justin would have loved to grill Cam on Brian's college life if given the chance....LOL

Author's Response:

Hi, Monica! I know; he was so hopeful that he was finally going to get a chance, and then whamo! I certain blond quickly squelched that.;) LOL!  Thank you for reading this story, and for the comments. I really appreciate all the support. *Hugs* ~Kim

Reviewer: Colleen (Anonymous) · Date: February 18, 2015 05:17 AM · On: Chapter 1

Very nice, Kim! Now that's the ending that should've happened. :)



Author's Response:

Hi, Colleen! Thank you for reading, and for taking the time to comment, my friend. I know - hopeless romantic here. I, too, like to envision them this way in the future. I guess we will just need to keep reading fan fic to fulfill our dreams post 513.;) Thanks for the support; I really appreciate that. *Hugs*  ~Kim

Reviewer: sfscarlet (Signed) · Date: February 18, 2015 05:03 AM · On: Chapter 1

I really enjoyed seeing Brian through someone else's eyes ( not in the gang) great idea for a story



Author's Response:

Hi, Sandy! Thanks so much for reading, and for the comments, my friend. I'm delighted you enjoyed it. I always had a fascination for reading other's POV regarding B & J, so I thought I would try my hand at this one.;) Thanks again for the support. *Hugs* ~Kim

Reviewer: Lorie (Signed) · Date: February 18, 2015 03:13 AM · On: Chapter 1

Very nice. So glad Justin is now all he needs.

Author's Response:

Thank you for reading, and for the comments, Lorie! I'm happy you enjoyed it. This is the way I envision them in the future (I know, hopeless romantic!). Thanks again for the support; it is much appreciated. *Hugs*  ~Kim

Reviewer: M_elle_22 (Signed) · Date: February 18, 2015 12:44 AM · On: Chapter 1

Aw.  I liked that.  To bad he didn't stay, though.  I'm sure Justin would have loved grilling him on what Brian was like in College.



Author's Response:

Hi, Michelle! You're probably right. I think Justin would have taken great glee in doing just that, to Brian's chagrin.;)

Thank you for reading this story, and especially for leaving a comment; I really appreciate that. *Hugs* ~Kim

Reviewer: YumYumPM (Signed) · Date: February 18, 2015 12:21 AM · On: Chapter 1

I don't think I've ever read a story line like this one before.  It was fantabulous!!!!

 



Author's Response:

Thank you! So happy you enjoyed it.;) As always, I'm grateful to you for your ongoing support. Thanks for the feedback. *Hugs*  ~Kim

Reviewer: 35nanou (Signed) · Date: February 17, 2015 11:12 PM · On: Chapter 1

Excellente histoire avec un dénouement très bien amené et Brian e Justin dans une très bonne symbiose.

J'ai beaucoup apprécié.

A bientôt.



Author's Response:

Merci pour la lecture, et pour vos beaux commentaires. Je suis heureux que vous avez apprécié l'histoire. * Étreintes * ~ Kim

hi Kim! you capture a simple yet meaningful moment so perfectly :) Thank you for this little gift. This is the best way to finish my day :)



Author's Response:

Hi, my friend! Just a little something for my friend's birthday. I enjoy reading fics about how others perceive the boys, so thought I would give it a try with this story. I'm so glad you enjoyed it. Thank you for reading, and for the feedback; it is greatly appreciated. *Hugs* ~Kim

Reviewer: soirsagrey (Anonymous) · Date: February 17, 2015 10:27 PM · On: Chapter 1

This story had love dripping from the page. So nice to see the love between Brian and Justin through the eyes of an outsider.

So happy I decided to read anyway before going to bed.

Had a really long and tiring day. Got up at six to give the dog his walk and then on my bicycle for an hour to start at a new job. Was back at six this evening too tired to cook a meal and soaking cause it rained all the way back.

your story warmed me up and it'll give me something to dream about.

Big, big hug

XOXO

Author's Response:

Hi, Soirsa! Thank you for reading this one, and for being so supportive of my stories. I'm very happy you enjoyed it, and it provided you with something pleasant after what sounded like such a long day!  Hope you have sweet dreams about the boys now.;) Thanks again for your support, my friend. *Hugs* ~Kim

Reviewer: Dido_MagnaCarta (Signed) · Date: February 17, 2015 08:54 PM · On: Chapter 1

Did NOT expect that!!!

Although in retrospect, I probably didn't read the summary properly, LOL!

But in terms of concept, this scores very highly; this is not just a one-shot, but an exercise in indirect characterization; showing the reader more of Brian and Justin's relationship through the eyes of another character. It's a strong writing technique, and one that isn't used enough, in my opinion. I should use it more, too. Description is great, but other characters have insight that Brian and Justin would not notice. Your fantastic last line said it all: "It was the face of a man in love." It's kind of sad for Cam, but he knows he doesn't stand a chance against Justin. 

Very nice idea, well executed. I enjoyed it!



Author's Response:

Hi, there! I'm glad I could surprise you just a bit.;)  I've always been fascinated by voyeur fic regarding B and J; this doesn't quite come up to that level, but the idea of someone else witnessing their love by seeing them for only a few minutes made me intrigued enough to give it a try. I'm happy that you enjoyed it.  Thank you for reading, and for the feedback! *Hugs* ~Kim

Reviewer: JAZZEPOET (Signed) · Date: February 17, 2015 08:23 PM · On: Chapter 1

Awww.....poor Cam lol, I think he might be channeling Mikey just a bit...but without the Uber personal connection.

Author's Response:

Hi, Tamara! Yeah, poor guy, thinking that he might finally get to experience the joys of the great stud Brian Kinney, only to be shot down - ha!  Thanks so much for reading, and for your comments, my friend. *Hugs* ~Kim

Reviewer: PA Boi (Signed) · Date: February 17, 2015 08:12 PM · On: Chapter 1

A new story!  What a great way to start the day.  Really enjoyed this, interesting to hear from someone from Brian's college life.  Bill



Author's Response:

Hi, Bill!  I forgot, BTW, to mark this story 'complete,' but I took care of that.;) Thank you for reading this one, and for your comments, my friend. I really appreciate that.  *Hugs*  ~Kim
