I am so glad that you are able to finish this wonderful story and hope you write the Sequel. Don't worry about the time you need to finish it. Taking the time to pull all the pieces together shows your dedication and respect for us, your readers, and the story. Thank you!

Great chapter. Can't see how you can end it one chapter to go. Definitely need to write a sequel.
Please in the epilogue don't turn Justin into "psuedo wife" with a Mary Sue ending of B/J living in a dream house raising a bunch of blonde-haired kids like so many post 513 authors do. That ending is almost as bad as Cowlips since it completely repudiates everything about Brian that made us fall in fantasy love with him. There can be emotional growth and loving committment without the femme version Justin or male pussy-whipped Brian.

Don't want the saga to end!. It's about time Justin came to his senses - It's not all about him, time to grow up and realize that a partnership/committment in love does include sacrifice. Even if Brian doesn't espress that as his belief, he certainly has shown that he knows this in his actions.
My vote is for don't go the McClaren/Quinn route some reviewers think you're heading towards. It doesn't grow organically from the story. Save McClearen for another story, another time and on another more Brian/OMC friendly site. You could do Justin/Steve then too, since he sounded like a nice guy who got the shaft from Justin.
Now what are you going to do about Ted? Are you saving Brian's blindness for the sequel? Hope your back holds out for more writing.

I am so going to miss this story when you're finally finished! Nice to see the bad guys being apprehended. I'm glad that Brian witnessed a small part of that.
I'm a confirmed B/J shipper and and hope that Brian will now be honest with Justin regarding his possible blindness. Reading some of the comments I have to say I haven't ever thought of Justin as selfish just young and wants to expereince the entire buffet life has to offer but to be honest there is an element of selfishness to him. A lot of what he wants is about him and his language is I want, I need, I have a right, Brian needs me regardless....so I can see where his epiphany was needed for their love to last, if it can - after all neither Brian or Justin are great communicators and there is a lot of push/pull over the years.
Don't hurry, I won't have any great QaF fanfiction to look forward to then.

Great chapter! I am wondering how Ted can be so self-delusional in light of the mounting evidence of the consequences of his actions, non-intentional as they may be.
This is just a quick comment for thought about DavidR's comment. A person's motivation for his/her actions or a character's actions can be a matter of perspective. For the incurable romantics, Brian and Justin are fated lovers or incapable of loving anyone else with the same depth. Others can believe individuals who once experienced love can find a different love of the same depth of feeling with another individual. This relates to Justin's questioning his motives, selfish or not, immature or maturely thought out, predestined or master of your fate. David presented one, view the flip side is that Justin, by leaving Stephen the way he did, just proved that Justin is somewhat selfish and immature. He gave little or no thought to Stephen, who he was having a relationship with, and reacted in purely what is good for Justin manner. Brian did not "need him" or ask for him and in fact had good reason for wanting Justin to stay safe and away from Pittsburgh. But then we wouldn't have this wonderful romantic story

Thanks for another chapter. I don’t understand the issue with the number of chapters or when this story will end. It is a terrific story, and if it took another 500 chapters to complete, I would be more than happy.
I do wonder what will happen to Ted. I don’t think in all his actions, he did anything illegal. He has been an ungrateful ^#@$! and I would hope he gets banished to where ever #%$%^ belong.
I also think this chapter went way off base with Justin questioning that the B/J relationship problems were because of his selfish and self centeredness. No, not true at all. What about Steven? He was in every way better for Justin than Brian, and Justin was happy. What happened? Brian needed Justin and Justin threw it all away for Brian, including Steven. That was not selfish or self centered act. The only problem with Steven was that he was not Brian.
McFed is a terrific guy, maybe like Steven, on the surface, better than Justin in every way. But – he is not Justin, hasn’t been, and could never be Justin. It really is all that simple. Further, if was a story about Brian and Chris, then I surely wouldn’t bother to be here.
Once again, thanks for this unbelievably wonderful story.

Yay! Brian and Justin are heading home. The bad guys are all rounded up. McFed and Auinn? Maybe. Now for dealing with that pesky vision issue . . . TAG

AAh yes , the secret of QaF's crossover success - "a growing appetite among hetero young women for watching beautiful young gay men making love to each other." Only not only "young" hetero women, some of mature women share the guilty pleasure.
Take all the timeyou need to finish this story- better finished right than quickly. This chapter is as well written as all the rest. I like how you keep giving us little tibits of character developement along side plot forward movement. Each chapter is worth the wait and this one doesn't dissapoint.
Liked Keller laying on the line for Justin. For much of the Brian/Justin story it has been all about Justin and everyone has fed into Sunshine's mystique. It's time for Justin to grow up, the spoiled bratty kid act has gotten old and is no longer cute. Brian believes love isn't about sacrafice, but maybe because that's due to almost no one ever showing him anything different. He has sacraficed his wants or others views of him for those he loves multiple times. In fact, one could make a case of the Brian/McClaren attaction is the willingness of McClaren to sacrafice McClarens desires by willingly backing off in favor of Justin's claim and his responbile, not reckless, behavior of laying his life on the line for Brian. If my prefered ending isn't happening and for this story it shouldn't, I suppose I'll have to be contented for the possible McClaren/ Liam attraction even though it does seem a little forced (not a critism, maybe I read the wrong meaning from the chapter, but that part seemed a little off, like throwing a bone to the people who came to care about the character without really coming naturally from the story. Better to write a Brian/McClaren story on posting another site since this site is pretty B/J only, perhaps taking place a few years in the future. But's that's just my opinion.)
There's still a lot of story to go, so I'm looking forward to however you end it and a possible sequel if your still interested in writing QaF and your health allows it.

Wow what a great chapter again. Justin had not realised he is a little spoilt but it was time for him to have a wake up call. Brian is just adored by everyone around him. I wonder where Ted is and when will the family realise the damage Ted and Mel have done. What a monumental story you must be so proud :)

I'm really glad this isn't the final chapter! I love these characters and will be sad to see their story come to an end. I'd be happy if you never shut up about them! HUGS! Cindy

Love comeuppances - though there are still quite a few to come. Terrific chapter, but the story seems far from resolution - why is Justin so clueless about Brian's eyes, what happens to Ted, what is Mel up to etc? Also it seems you should be planning Timeless Book 2 to keep us all entertained as it appears not everything will be covered in another chapter and an epilogue! You are an awesome writer - thank you . . .

I'm not suing! The wish for resolution and the story never ending are running neck and neck. You did say there was a sequel....right?
