Hi! I've been reading fanfiction about Brian and Justin for over 5 years and I've only just come across yours. My goodness. I am currently reading the sequel and had to take a break in chapter 2 and use this moment to write to you. There have only been two stories so far that made me cry and your story is now the third one. So damn intense, unbelievable. I suffer so much with both of them. So, before I go on suffering ;-), I just wanted to tell you how absolutely amazing I find your story. Wonderfully written, I love the way you portray them, how their deep deep love is just there. I was fascinated by the way you described Justin and his feelings and thoughts on the way to the operating room. So damn realistic - anyone who's ever had an surgery can totally understand it. It's so wonderful and there's also hope, but at the same time I feel so damned heartbroken.... It's so moving! Great story! Thanks for sharing it with us!

I'm just now reading this, and wow, what a great story!! And its with issues like this, where something is going on with Justin, where Brian really lets go and admits or shows how much he really cares for him. These are the ones that really get to me!!
Author's Response: Thank you so much! I'm very glad you enjoyed this story. Thanks for reading and for your wonderful review. I appreacite it so much!

Daphne is the man! I always loved this strong willed woman. No wonder Brian liked her from the beginning. She have balls.
Author's Response: Daphne has always been one of my favorite characters in the series. She's a perfect fit for Justin as a beat friend :-) Glad you enjoyed this chapter! Thanks so much for reading and for your reviews.

Fantastic, you did yourself proud with this story. I love that Brian treated Justin how z Justin wanted to be treated and even took the telling off from Deb well. Justin and Brian are great together in your story and they will remain strong.
Brilliant work x
Author's Response: Thank you :-) I'm very glad you enjoyed this story. It was actually one of the very first stories I ever wrote, way back in 2007. Glad folks are still reading it now and then ;-) Thank you so much for reading and for your wonderful reviews!

You sure know how to write an amazing story don’t you. My heart was gripped and melting at Brian in his. His memory of what his father did and what his mom made him so broke me. I love the love you have between our boys I thank you for that.
Amazing work x
Author's Response: I'm so glad that you are enjoying this story, and that it's hitting you in the 'feels' *g*. There is a special place in my heart for a sensitive Brian :-)

Gosh I could feel his panic and fear , poor Justin.
Author's Response: It would be pretty scary to be in his predicament, for sure!

Beautiful story. Justin brings out the best in Brian. Thank goodness for Daphne. She is one of my favorite minor characters. Had she not gone to Brian, Justin would have suffered in silence.
Author's Response: Thanks :-) I'm thrilled that you enjoyed this fic. I've always been a fan of Daphne, too. And Emmett too, actually. They both have that sense of being great friends, but not taking any bullshit. Justin was very lucky to have Daphne in this story. Thanks again for reading and for your wonderful review!

I wanted a weed...
I love the analogy. I had to get away from the anorexic stories for a while and decided to explore this Justin cancer fic. I must have read this some time ago and don't know if I reviewed it at that time. I was such a lurker, initially, LOL.
I have just finished reading Between the Crosses again and found myself looking for Lionheart in this fic. This is a different Justin born of different circumstances. I find it interesting that you started this fic at the point of after Justin has left Ethan. It makes Brian's involvement all the more special. Justin's anxiety is twofold because of his guilt over leaving Brian and then having cancer. Angst galore.
Author's Response: Hey Sandra :-) Once again, my profuse apologies for not getting to your wonderful comments this week. I promise, promise, promise I will - they all mean so much to me :-) It's just that I'm having a bit of a struggle wrangling my work and... well, pretty much any other aspect of my life into the same space together. *sigh* In any case, thank you so much for your wonderful comment on this story. I wrote it over five years ago now - it was the very first multi-chaptered story I ever wrote. At that point, I was hugely into protective!Brian and a Justin-with-cancer theme seemed to be an ideal platform upon which to explore this. If I wrote it again, I would make Justin a stronger character and Brian a little less open in his affection, but I think perhaps I got the dynamic right for a first pass ;-) You're right in that this is a very different Justin than the one in 'Between the Crosses'. That Justin had a much harsher past and a heavier load to bear... but this Justin's load is not exactly a feather weight either. As you say, he's having to deal with the duel burdens of anxiety over Ethan and guilt over leaving Brian... Isn't angst fun? *g*
Thanks again for your wonderful comment, and my apologies again for being so sluggish in getting back to them. I can only promise you that I will, for sure :-) *hugs*

Daphne is such a good friend to Justin.
Yeah, Brian should know!
Author's Response: I've always though the friendship between Justin and Daphne, and the way Brian and Daphne interact, to be very interesting. Daphne is a great friend to Justin. She always wants what's best for him - Brian, in this case. Thanks again for reading and for your wonderful review!

This was really well done. I love the use of the colors and the way you had different definitions for them. I also love and adore "protective Brian"! Great job =)
Author's Response: Thanks again, Kat ;) I'm a huge fan of 'protective Brian' (as you may have guessed ;)). I really glad you enjoyed this story, and that you liked the use of the colours. Thank you so much for reading and for your wonderful review!

So heartfelt and caring the method you have used to describe Justin's emotions, well done.
Author's Response: Thanks :) This was the second fic I ever wrote, and I think it was in this story that I really got a feel for describing thoughts and emotions. This was also when I got hopelesly addicted to hurt/ comfort :) I'm glad you enjoyed it. Thanks so much for reading and for your review!!
Reviewer: Blackwell (Anonymous) · Date: April 30, 2008 10:43 PM · On: Violet
Your story is f*cking amazing. You should be really proud of it(especially considering it was your first) ;) By the way, all your stories are. I can only guess that you got the gift, darling, and you use it well ;) Wishing you the best, Black.
Author's Response: Thanks :) As you guessed, I do adore writing. And I am so inspired by this world that the ideas and emotions just keep coming. Of course, personal satisfaction is the main goal of writing, but part of that satisfaction comes from knowing that people enjoy reading it. So I do honestly appreciate your comments, they mean a lot :) Thanks so much for reading and for your wonderful review!

Author's Response: Thanks :) I occationally like to do some painting, so I guess the colour thing comes naturally. Thanks so much for readinga nd for your reveiw!!
