QAF Brian and Justin Fanfiction
Reviews For Timeless
Reviewer: Pam (Anonymous) · Date: September 03, 2012 06:07 AM · On: Chapter 58

WOW, what a chapter ending!

Your plan for the ending sounds fair. I'm looking forward to the sequel or rather the middle between the ending of this story and the epilogue. That's if you want to write it.

Give me some more of McClaren. I hope he stays friends with Brian if only to playfully annoy Justin. They do have a bond with each other even if it is not as lovers.

Which brings me to expressing a wish the same as at least one of your other readers for a Brian/McClaren story. Beleive it or not there is some QaF fans out there that do read Brian/OMC or Justin/OMC stories. There are even a few very good Brian/OMC out there ("Swanp Fever and Burn" by Brian H and Arwensong's "Better Friends and Lovers" series come to mind) So I think there would be a readership, albeit not as large or vocal, as strict B/J shippers. for an AU Brian/Chris McClaren well written story. And you do write well, the character of McClaren deserves not to be put in a drawer and forgotten. Give him an AU reward, pretty please when everything else is done and if your still interested in QAF.

 

Thanks for the quick updates and hope you spine is getting better all the time.

Brian with Chris McLaren no thanks. A lot the people love QAF for the love story between Brian and Justin so they must stay together . Please Cyn  don't do like  Cowlip that have separate them and have broken a lot of fans's hearts. Please Cyn  don't destroy this beautiful fic with a bad ended

Great chapter, great cliffhanger! I mean we know Brian will survive and B/J will live happily ever after but still the journey is a rollercoaster. There's still so much to write (The trial, Brian's vision, Ted's realization of his complicity and Hopefully eventual acceptance back into the fold ...) if you have the will and the time. I'm looking forward to the next chapter(s) and a possilbe sequel.

Hope your health steadily improves and you reach an optimal state of wellness.

As far a McClaren goes - Oh yeah a spin off would be very welcome. I love this original character. I'll take him anyway I can get him. But I'm also one of the tiny minority that likes B/J up to a point - sees them as necessary steps in each others emotional growth but really doesn't think they're particulary suited for each other for long term happiness. {wiping the rotten tomatos off my face now} One of my fantasy QaF wishes would be an AU where B/J break up, somewhat amiably, say 2-3 years down the road. Justin can find happiness ever after with someone else and Brian can break another one of his rules and go find Chris McClaren. I think in him, you've written pretty close to the perfect partner for Brian Kinney. I know this story probably will never happen but one can daydream.

Thanks for hours of enjoyable reading.

Ok so Brian can not die!  Looking forward to court, brian testifying...Brian getting his head out of his ass and telling Justin about his vision. Didn't he learn anything from the cancer/chicken soup?  Ted has to be dealt with, Mel needs to die in a plane crash and Brian and Justin have to build their dream home and live happily,,or as happily as they can, for a VERY long time.  

 

As you can tell great chapter, look forward to more.

Reviewer: Anonymous (Anonymous) · Date: September 01, 2012 12:08 AM · On: Chapter 58

This remains one of the best fic ever. I wonder if this will be enough for Ted to finally understand how blind he's been. Speaking of sight, will we - and Justin - now learn more about Brian's condition. And finally, I love love love how it was the person Justin found who actually ended up saving Brian.

 

great job! and as a fellow back-pain sufferer I really hope you are feeling better.

Freaking amazing chapter! I really have no words other than that. Can't wait for the next one.

P.S. Again, I am definitely interested in reading a spin-off fic about McLaren.

 

Reviewer: TrinTiff (Signed) · Date: August 31, 2012 10:20 AM · On: Chapter 58

OMG! I don't even have words for this! Umm, intense, vibrant, magical are a few that come to mind. Even KNOWING Brian would make it out alive because this is obviously not a death fic, I feared for his life until the very end! How did you do that? Another amazing feat you have accomplished (from my pov anyway) is when Justin accepted Chris into that elite circle, I found myself hoping for the ridiculous fairy tale ending of the three of them polyamorously living happily ever after! :-D

I recently discovered QAF and spent two weeks hunched over my laptop watching the entire series. After the last episode, I immediately "researched" the QAF fandom and stumbled upon Timeless. As an avid fanfic reader for the past few years, I've found that I love extremely long fics, so the 700K+ word count practically had me drooling with anticipation--along with the brief but beautiful summary. From the very first chapter, Timeless had me absolutely captivated. I had tried a few other post-513 fics, but none of them seemed to be able to bring the Brian we adore from screen to page. You, however, have managed to capture the very essence of Brian in your story. Even when he's not physically with the others, his presence is always felt. The love he has for Justin is crystal clear but still shown only in the typical Brian Kinney fashion. Every time Brian gazes at Justin, I can feel the intensity--before reading this I did not think it would be possible to feel such emotion through written words, without visuals. Anyways, I shall move on now, before I write an entire essay on how much I adore Brian. On the topic of your story line, I'm extremely impressed. Unlike many fics I've read with word counts over 400K, Timeless stays "on track". You provide us plenty of description and insight into each character's mind, and also include enough excitement to keep the interest fresh. Throughout all 58 chapters so far, I have not once felt lost or overwhelmed---everything seems to contribute to the plot you have constructed, and that is absolutely amazing (especially since you do not have a beta). I could blab on forever about how much I love this, but I think I've already made that pretty clear. Now, I guess I will just have to wait patiently for the next chapter like the others before me have. I've been spoiled to be able to read so much at one time! Thank you very much for sharing such an incredible thing with us, it's so great to be able to experience more of Brian and Justin's epic love journey.

This chapter was so tense and suspenseful ... Bravo! And, I especially admired how you handled all of your characters and led them ultimately to Brian's side.

A Chris McLaren spin-off? I am so THERE! He's one of my favorite original characters of yours and I'd ABSOLUTELY love to read a story about him, as long as our dear McFed doesn't interfere/get in between of Brian and Justin.

Fabulous idea! Now, onto chapter 58. YAY!

Reviewer: 4depthoflove (Signed) · Date: August 31, 2012 05:17 AM · On: Chapter 58

this is without a doubt my favorite chapter of this entire story - it has everything - edge of my seat anxiety and fear/despair enducing action - and love so deep and all encompassing that it can be acknowledged by all of the senses individually on so many levels depending on the pairing involved - really really well done - thanks

A note to let everyone know that I had a slight relapse a la my spinal condition - but it really was slight, thank God.  Anyway, it delayed me a bit in my attempt to complete the next chapter, but - barring further problems - I believe I will have it ready sometime this week, or by the week-end at the latest.  Also, although I had convinced myself that I could complete the storyline in this chapter, I realize that there are too many details that would just remain unresolved if I didn't take the time to address them.  Ergo - there will be one more chapter after this, and one epilog.  But I won't swear to it, because it seems I always have something else to say.

In addition, I am toying with the idea of writing something like a spin-off from this story, and I wonder if anyone would be interested in reading a story about Chris McClaren and what comes next.  If so, please speak up and let me know.

As always, thanks to  everyone for their patience, good wishes, and continuing interest.

Angst and more Angst, I love it. You could just see something was going to happen with everyone being pulled in all directions, it screamed diversion, but I was still suprised at the cliffhanger.

Damm, I really, really like McClaren for Brian, too bad that's not where this is going. Brian and Justin don't mind a little Kink but there is no way Justin would accept a threesome. Justin's right to be jealous but his hold on Brian is secure because Brian's in-the-know friends seem like their going to but in regardless.

I'm going to hate seeing this story end. Thanks for updating relatively quickly and I am sincerly glad to hear your health issues are resolving.

I hope that chris gets back in time, oh teddie what have you done...

ahhhhhhhh

Reviewer: DavidR (Signed) · Date: July 26, 2012 12:29 AM · On: Chapter 57

This chapter ended in a very strange way.  If Kennetik’s


was locked-up, then how was Ted so easily able to allow


2 people to enter the building and walk right into Brian’s


office?  But so much more than that, given the Brian gets


and needs so much security, why would Ted allow two


people direct access to Brian?  I am not even sure how to


word that.  Ted is such a screw up, I am astounded by his


behavior.  The only explanation that I can come up with


is that he is so obsessed with this possible deal, that all


reasoning is warped.  But still?




It doesn’t appear that Wyle and his companion are there


to do Brian physical harm.  However, I simply don’t know


why they are there.  We will see…..


 


Again, thanks for this great story, and thanks for this


chapter.

I'm enthralled! Simply panting for more. But please, take care of yourself. This story is absolutely amazing, the angst! Oh, the angst! (and anyone who knows me knows my love of angst!)

I'm formulating the ending in my head, certain of being incorrect, but hoping I can catch at least one or two hints from my musings.

This chapter was wonderful, and Brian's declaration of recognition at the end! Great way to keep us hanging on.

Thank you so much for this amazing story. You take care and we promise to keep waiting.

so very glad you are starting to mend - and anxiously await the next chapter

   first sorry for my english it's not my native language and I know is suck...


    Brian has promised at Justin not to push it away again and we know Brian has never broken his promises so why he thinks to do this  without saying nothing to Justin?


    who the hell is C. J. Wylie alias Clayton maybe I have lost something .....


    Btw your fic is very brillant. one of the  better I'm reading thanks to share this with us

Reviewer: Cathy (Anonymous) · Date: July 22, 2012 08:41 PM · On: Chapter 57

OH CYN!!!!!  I hope you have the next chapter almost ready to go - You have done cliffhangers but some sort of pain and fear settled into my throat and chest making it hard to swallow and breath with those last few sentences. If I'm dead by your next chapter (it's on Your Hands :)

Okay... Brian was just ready to push McClaren's # on the phone... can he put his phone in his pants pocket and call him... will McClaren then realize something is wrong, get a hold of Mathis, and Justin is on his way... Oh Lord, Lady. I'm not sure my chest is strong enough for the wait!

When McClaren told Michael and Ben, <i>"It was a threat, and they've got the police department there, with bomb squads, along with <strong>all of Brian's security people."</i></strong>  ...  WHY WAS THAT NOT IMMEDIATELY A PRIMORDIAL CAUSE FOR CONCERN???  Brian has <strong>NOBODY</strong> protecting him!?! As soon as the Bomb Threat came in, I just knew it was a way for "THEM"  to get Brian alone. I also figure the "Riverside Property" offer is a Hoax. For Ted's sake, it would be nice if it wasn't.  But like Cyn and Brian were talking it would be like inviting Dracula to supper. I really did get a good laugh out of that. (it eased the chest pain some.)  Okay, has all this talk about the way you left my heart in paroxysm, will it hurry the next chapter along? I thought it might be a good try :)  ... LOL!!!
 
Anyway, seeing as Emmett knows Brian's secret, he better figure out a way for Justin to give that painting to Brian VERY soon. The big nelly bottom always has tricks up his sleeve. I really can't take anymore of Brian being in heartache or danger, so please don't let another grievous affliction happen.

I LOVE this story. It is now my all-time favorite ever written!  When I first joined LJ, and was in BBM -  lolitaray (remember her?)  Out of all the authors one of her stories rated as my all-time favorite and her as my favorite author.   Well, a few years later, she has finally lost that Title - to you!

Thanks for the update. I do appreciate it, and I hope you are still feeling well.

*Hugs* ~ Cathy

Reviewer: TrinTiff (Signed) · Date: July 22, 2012 01:19 PM · On: Chapter 57

I don't know where the heck I've been but when I started this chapter I was completely lost so I went back to 56 to catch up and was lost there as well! Then I realized I hadn't read 54 or 55 either! OH NO! So I've spent this entire day catching up and now it's 1 am! WOW! That was a lot to absorb in a day!

I read how some other readers want Emmett to tell Justin about Brian's eyes but I'd rather Justin see it for himself like Emmett did. Just my little ole' opinion on the matter. :-)

I know in my head that Brian and Justin will end up together at the end of the story because you said they will. But as I read about the old Kinney cliff my heart starts pounding and I get so nervous and so angry at Brian but then then again I understand him too.

So, even though my head believes you, my heart doesn't. I guess that's what makes you such a great writer ... I'm not going to believe it until I see it!

I'm really glad you are feeling better! Hugs! Cindy

So happy to see a new chapter.

Reviewer: Cheburashka2 (Signed) · Date: July 22, 2012 08:09 AM · On: Chapter 57

I'm sorry, but I have to do this...fucking Ted! Blankety-blank-blank-blank!

Sorry for the cursing, but it had to be done. This cliffhanger was a killer (no pun intended)! I can't wait for the next chapter, which I hope will come sooner since you are feeling better. I'm very glad you are doing better and not just for selfish reasons. :)  I wish you lot of continued health so that you can enjoy life more, aside from bringing us, your fans, more fan fiction.

Now, for the actual review. This chapter was jam-packed with goodies. The action packed ending with the bomb threat and Katy's kidnapping were edge-of-the-seat exciting. The cliffhanger was...well, you already know. I especially loved McFed's handling of Mel and Mrs. LaSalle, Cynthia discovering the discrepancy with the land deal and Emmett discovering Brian's secret. Just awesome.

Speaking of Emmett, I sincerely hope he'll have the balls to tell Justin the truth about Brian's sight, because he deserves to know. I'm sorry, but it rather bothers me that Brian is keeping this from Justin. IMHO, by keeping this to himself Brian isn't treating Justin as an individual capable of making his own decision in regards to what he considers a sacrifice; he isn't treating him as a grown up MAN or an EQUAL in their relationship. As romantic as it sounds for Brian to shower Justin with gifts like land and a dream house, it seems (at least to me) as rather indulgent, as if he's placating a child. While in the original show Brian has done a number of things "for Justin's own good" - like pushing him off the Kinney cliff during the cancer arc - he has never infantilized him. It's just my opinion and you may very well disagree, but no matter what Brian's been through he doesn't have the right to keep something this big from his PARTNER.

Don't get me wrong, I like your Brian very, very, very much - he's a much more mature, grown-up, more open and often selfless character than in the OS. Which is why it bothers me that your Brian is doing such a disservice to Justin, someone he's supposed to love above all others. In effect, he's treating him as unworthy of making a decision about the direction of his own life. Basically, it seems like he's treating McLaren more like and equal than the love of his life. I just realized that I am basically jealous of McLaren on Justin's behalf, which is ridiculous, I know. LOL!

Anyway, the whole point of my rant was that I hope that Brian realizes that while Brian might consider Justin to be trapped with someone blind, Justin might consider it a priviledge to care for Brian and to be trusted so completely. I very much doubt that Justin would consider it a burden; he might love Brian even more. I hope that Brian "wakes up" and fesses up to Justin, which would be HONEST and RIGHT, and not selfish in the slightest.

But, in case Brian remains his stubborn self, then all my hope is on Emmett, who I hope will spill the beans.

On the other hand, my ENTIRE opinion of Brian's motivations and his treatment of Justin could be completely wrong. As a reader, I won't see the entire picture until the very end and you may very well have something up your sleeve that I just don't know about. Which is yet another reason why I am awaiting your next chapter like an eager puppy.

I hope you won't be offended by my thoughts. The bottom line is that I love this story as a whole - your writing, characters, descriptions and the incredibly multi-faceted plot are amazing. I've followed this story for months and will continue to follow it until the bitter end, ALL sequels included. So, I hope you won't take my opinions on this one small detail as a criticism of the whole story, because it's far from that. Again, you may have much more information to reveal and all my worries may be allayed in the next couple of chapters.

With hugs, wishes of a 100% recovery health-wise and eager anticipation of the next chapter,

Vin

Thought I'd wait to write a review when I had a chance to reread it after some time.  This has been my favorite story for a long time and I've been waiting (not) patiently for the update but I have to say that this is the most disappointing update I think I've ever read.  I am a big fan but I expect with this many words for the story to move ahead, for something important to occur to make the time waited worth it but this is the first time in 56 chapters that I've wondered if I've wasted my time.  Not only didn't you give us any further information, but you are now saying this is part one of a longer series and even this hasn't been resolved.  So maybe I am better off just not looking for the updates anymore.  I have given you many more positive reviews than I've ever given to any other author so while I usually don't bother writing to someone whose story I dislike, I feel kind of ripped off.  I appreciate the many chapters I've read and enjoyed but I am ready for resolution and I guess you just can't go there so I'll stop reading.  Thank you for your earlier story and I think I'll just finish it off in my own mind.

Thanks for this new chapter.  It was, like the other


chapter, terrific.


 


I have enough to think about with each new chapter,


Book 1 and Book 2 are far to “out-there” to comment


on.



 


Hey, didn’t I remember that one guy got away?  What


happened to him, or is he still out there lurking, and


waiting for his chance to do more damage to Brian?  Of


course, no answer is best, as let the story answer my


questions.


 


No comment about Melanie and Ted.  I have commented


enough.  They both in their own way, are dangerous. 


(Glad I refrained from commenting).


 


Thanks again for the chapter, happy to hear you are feeling better.

Reviewer: Eucebo (Anonymous) · Date: June 19, 2012 09:59 PM · On: Chapter 56

Hey Cyn, I don't mean to be insensitive or hatefull or anything like that, I know you've been sick and that it wasn't your fault, but I wish you wouldn't put us in the position of having to wait for a second book. What I mean is, it waould be better if you close this story in a way that there is no "need" for a book 2, but that if there is one anyway, great! You understand what I'm saying?

The thing is, the last couple of years you've been very sick and with a lot of personal issues that wouldn't let you sit down to write and that's unfortunate and sad, but it also makes the reading of your story... kinda boring :S sorry.

So, if you could make this ona finish fully, even if it takes you 3 more chapters instead of one, the I wish you do it that way. And then, if you still want to, you can write the secule, wich is linked to the first story, but it alowes the readers to stay with just book one if they want to. That way, in a couple of years I (amd many others) could be looking around the net and find this secule, all finished or just about to be, and I'll read it all at once, without getting bored for the waiting.

 

I hope you don't get mad at me, is just a suggestion because I loved this story but I'm a reader by nature, I love it more than anything, and doing it this way... so spaced out... it kill the story for me.

 

 

See ya,

As much as I want to see the resolution to the intrigue that's been weaved into this narrative (can't wait to see how you pull it all together), I am at the same time sad that it's coming to an end.

Can't wait for another update; I hope it'll come soon.

Cheers,

Vin

P.S. Glad you are feeling better and hope you'll be at 100% soon.

Oh you wicked woman!  This chapter was so beautiful! So perfect! Yet through it was that hint of 'this ain't gonna last for too long'!   Ohhhh!   Just when they are perfectly happy, more bad shit is about to happen!   arrrghhh!  :-)   Can you at least give me a little more of joyous B/J before the shit hits the fan?  :-)

 

Still loving this story!

I only found this story recently and read it through the night in one go. It was that good. I'm torn between wanting you to finish the story and wanting it to remain forever unfished. At least now I can still fanatize my own ending, which is not the ending you're working towards and 99% of the fandom demands. I love the OC of Chris McClaren and think he's great for Brian. You've done a wonderful job of fleshing out all the characters and plotting a riveting narrative. So I'll keep checking back for updates, just in case, with ambivelant feelings. Thanks for the wonderful read.

Dear Cynical,

You are making a cynic our of me!!  I have been an avid follower of Timeless since the beginning and have been waiting and waiting and waiting and I guess I should now give up.  It pains me that we don't get the pay off but I'm sure you have a good reason for not finishing and I can only wish you well, remind you of how great a writer you are and hope that whatever has blocked you from finishing this will get unblocked but I need to stop looking for it.  Again, I think it is one of the best things I've read in fanfiction, both in the writing, the story, character development, just on so many levels.  I wish you well and want to thank you for the great read.  I'll just make up my own conclusion, which for me will have to be fulfilling and uplifting, where everyone gets their due.

Best wishes,

Judi

By way of explanation ---

This will be short, because I can't sit here for long.  Have beren flat on y back for almost two months due to spinal damage.  Am due for a new type of treatment later this week, and - if that doesn't work - surgery will be the next step.  At any rate, while the delay has been really long, I know, it is not forever.  I WILL finish this story, as well as my B&S one, just as soon as I can sit at a desk again.

Apologies to all for the delay.

As much as I love this story, Brian's continued lack of insight regarding Justin is exasperating.  For someone who is so smart...Brian is certainly a dunce where Justin is concerned.  In a way Melanie is right...Brian does try to control people's lives, specifically Justin's.  I'm sure Jusin has a breaking point and will not come back if Brian tosses him away again.  Better yet, Justin should get clued in before he's chucked from Mount Kinney again.  Would like to see Melanie and Ted get their comeuppance.   You've created a couple of characters whose conniving knows no bounds.

Looking forward to the next chapter and epilogue.  Hope all goes well for B&J.

Brian is beginning to piss me off the way he is treating Justin. If the roles were reversed he would be having a "shit fit" that Justin wasn't telling him he was going blind. I don't like the way Brian thinks he's got every thing covered. I think it's going to come back to bite him in the ass.

Oh my gosh so much has happened and I still have no idea who the fourth member is!!!! I am so afraid that Brian will walk off and leave Justin and deny himself the joy and love he deserves in some stupid belief that he can give Justin a better life without him. I cannot see Mel or Ted being the fourth member as they are not connected enough but they certainly have enough hate going to help whoever it is. Stockwell and Taylor will always come after Brian as they have so much hate against him so we need them gone for good. I just hope it is not someone trusted and close, like McFed or Manthias or Briggs. Oh well hopefully all will be revealed I hope :)hugs Chris

Go, Tigers!) I've nothing much on schedule and should be able to get down to business.  As to how long it will take, that answer is always the same.  It takes as long as it takes for the right inspiration to strike, and the right muse to speak.

Ohh no what is Brian up to?? He can not crush Justin, not when he has finally come back to him and has not desire to leave Brian again.  Brian can't be that stupid... self sacrificing perhaps but not cruel, at least where Justin is concerned.  

What are Mel and Ted up to? They have to be conspiring somehow.  Arrghhh....the suspense!

Reviewer: DavidR (Signed) · Date: December 15, 2011 02:35 AM · On: Chapter 54

Hi,


 


     Thanks for another terrific chapter.


 


    I had no idea that a 4th person somehow escaped


detection.  If it is a character we already met, I have no


idea who that may be, can’t even guess.


 


     What to do with Ted and Melanie?  I have no idea. 


Since Ted and I share a similar line of work, I have no


sympathy for him.  As I mentioned months and months


ago, we have a special fiduciary responsibility.  Simply


put, Ted failed, and failed in so many other ways. 


Melanie?  I have no idea what do with her, but she


needs to be ‘delt’  with.


 


    The ending of this chapter was wonderful, beautiful,


sensational, except if you are a reader of this story. 


This is a perfect example of a reader knowing much


more than the character.  As one of your reviewers


said, and I agree, sometimes your story is too painful to


read.  This is meant as a compliment ( I think?).  I am


glad the chapter ended where it did; for if this were a


play, I would have stood up and demanded an


intermission with free hard liquor drinks for everyone.


 


   Anyway, thanks for the chapter.  There is so much


more to say, but enough for now.

I just finished reading this chapter. I feel so unsettled. Sometimes it is just painful to read your words. I know that cliff is probably just around the corner but oh I pray your Justin is strong enough not to fall off of it. Brian is so infuriating, to think that he would need to live out his life alone when all he has to do is see, really see how much love is really surrounding him. You have a gift and you use it wisely. I am almost afraid to see what is coming next, but yet I can't wait and watch continuously for updates.

Reviewer: judi (Anonymous) · Date: December 13, 2011 07:50 AM · On: Chapter 54

So you know that I love this story best.  But this chapter is so sad, I can hardly stand it.  I know Brian can be healed, I know things can work out because you couldn't be cruel enough to let us come this far without a payoff, but I'm so sad.  I don't remember being this affected by any story (since the chapter where Brian is attacked) and I hope you will update before Christmas! 

You are an amazing writer!  I love the detail, the dialogue, the feelings.  I look for your updates daily and have to admit, I look forward to getting closure with hopes that you will be willing to write another one.

Thanks for all your efforts.

You know I really love Brian Kinney but most times than not he is abso-fucking-lutely insufferable in his views of how to protect and care his loved ones. ARGHHHHHHH!

Having said that, I really liked to have this chapter with all the action in the Club and the arrest of those miscreants [twisting my fingers to control my words here].

I am really wondering what you have planned for Brian in this story [if I remember you are thinking of a sequel here and a prequel] and I cant wait patiently enough to see what is still coming.

And what about Ted's plan, I hope the bugger makes out of it alive, at least *snikering*...

Thanks for another great chapter. 


 


Michael is a lost cause not worth commenting about.


 


Justin needs to talk to Brian.  That is where we left the


Chapter. Seeing Craig being taken away by the FBI and


now there is no doubt the evil that Craig has been part


of – but still he is/was Justin’s father.


 


The pain and hurt that Justin must feel is enormous.  I


am sure Brian  understands that.


 


       “…….rough breath in order to overcome the devastation that


       enveloped him as he  identified the tone of defeat in that hopeless,


       broken voice.”


      


You write so beautifully that I too heard  it – and felt


it.


 


Again, thanks for this great story.

We want to make it a Classic and for that it has to be completed too.

You're too good an author not to be able to finish a story but it was humor writer to writer without any meaness to it.

Besides you knocked me off my pedestal for longest story on Whispers so I had to rib you a little :)

It never fails that just about the time I start thinking "Hum, I wonder when we will get another "Timeless" chapter?" There it is.  This chapter was very satisfying and while I can see the lose ends beginning to get tied up, I can't see how you will deal with everything in another two or three chapters.  I hope you are not planning a cliff hanger ending.  While I can understand the need to take a break after this epic story, I hope it isn't too long. I love these chapters.  Thanks for updating. 



Author's Response:

You are most welcome, and I should be the one thanking you guys, for your patience and your support.  And no, I'm not planning a big, bad, ugly cliffhanger; I wouldn't do that to anyone.  But I make no promises about how it will be resolved, as there is still more of the story to tell.  Although I do promise that the next installment will NOT run to 700,000 words.  I'm sure someone out there is screaming "Enough already."

Thanks again for your interest and support.

*Very Big Grin*



Author's Response:

In my own defense, "War and Peace" is longer.  :-}  But it is the longest thing I've ever written, and I'm sure there are people who are wondering if it will EVER end.  The answer is "Yes" - and in the not too distant future.  After that, some breathing time will be needed before wandering back into the world that lives and breathes BK & JT.

And No, I'm not having trouble figuring out to end it.  I've known how it would end for months.  But getting to that point, and not leaving any gaping holes in the plot or the characterization - that's something else again.  Wish me luck, OK?

I have loved this fic and your writing from Day 1. But I have a teeny, tiny nitpic in this latest chapter that yanked me out of the story. Brian would never, ever call Justin "Baby." I've seen it in other fics and totally creeps me out because it's so OOC.Other than that, you've truly written a masterpiece!



Author's Response:

Oh, you clever reader, you.  You picked up on something that I was hoping someone would notice.  I'm not going to explain much about it, except to try to generate memories of the beautiful relationship in QaF - and what invariably happened when Brian . . . became non-Brian.

I love Ron Petersen, and lindsey , which is huge for me since I am sonot a fan.  Feels like the end is getting closer:( but there is still so much more story to tell.  Can't wait to hear more of the evidence that is found, will deb and linds say something to Mathis about Ted having a plan? Will Mel finally fall off the face of the earth? Can't Michael just go to Florida and get JR? He is her legal parent.... So many questions, so many questions.... Great read!



Author's Response:

Thank you so much, especially for your comment about Lindsey, because - believe it or not - I was never a fan either.  Throughout most of the series, I just wanted to shake her and scream, "Wake up, Stupid."

And yes, the end is drawing closer, but there are still many questions to answer before reaching a logical point to suspend the story and set the stage for the next part. I am petrified of leaving a big old hole in the plot, so I'm trying to be extra careful.  I hope you will not be disappointed in where I take it.

It's the result of a perpetual condition that one might term 'verbal diarrhea' - which is not a nice image, of course, but is fitting nonetheless.  I am so paranoid about not leaving any plot devices dangling that I literally have to force myself to shut up and post.

Thank you so much.  It's always lovely to have a reason to smile on a quiet Sunday morning.  And I suppose I should point out that I'm sure a lot of people are dreading to see what happens next.  I won't give any spoilers here by indicating whether that dread is justified or not, but I will say that I love these characters and the dynamics of their love for each other as much as anyone else, and I want them to have their 'happily-ever-after'.  I just don't want them to find it without resolving all the issues that could turn around and bite them in the ass and ruin it for them.  Is that ambiguous enough for everyone?  Good.  :-}

You realize, of course, that you're scaring the crap out of me, because one of my biggest phobias is that I will forget to tie up all the loose ends.  However, that is part of the reason for my promise of a sequel.  I do intend to plug all the holes and not leave any major plot focus dangling unresolved, but to explain everything and tie it all together completely would require another 53 chapters, I'm afraid.  But I do believe the primary questions will be answered in the next two or three chapters, and that the stage will be properly set for the next stage of the saga.  I hope :-}.  For example, the Ponzi scheme will be mentioned before the end of this phase, but it will not be completely exposed and resolved until the next time.  It's just too involved to diagram without another 1000 to the nth power words.

Thanks so much for your enthusiasm and your support.  I will do my best not to disappoint.

OMG, amazing chapter! The last line was just heartbreaking, but I loved it all.

Now, I have to wait for the next installment. Oh, please post soon!

Cheers,

Vin



Author's Response:

Thanks so much for your comment and your enthusiasm.  And I will try to write more quickly.  In truth, I usually do complete the first draft of a chapter in a relatively short period of time.  But the key words here are "rough draft", because every chapter I post has been edited, re-edited, and re-re-edited - by me, since I don't use a beta.  Much too anal retentive/compulsive to let anyone else touch my work, even though there are plenty of multi-talented betas around who could probably make it better.

Just my quirk, I'm afraid. But thanks again for reading and commenting.

Just discovered this story about a week ago and totally and completely fell in love with it. I absolutely cannot wait for the next chapter and a resolution to this epic, epic fic! I so hope it'll have a happy ending for our favorite boys. This story has made me laugh and cry (a lot... at one point I was weeping loudly enough for my husband to get concearned, which was hilarious to him after he found out why I was crying and embarrasing for me). At one point I got so caught up reading, I didn't realize it was 4 am and I had to get up two ours later for work. That's how much I love this addictive-as-crack story and it physically pains me to wait for the next chapter. I hope you'll post the next one soon.

Thanks for sharing your amazing writing with us!

Cheers,

Vin

Sorry to be slow to respond to your beautiful comment.  It's reactions like this that make writing in the fanfiction genre so rewarding, since one obviously doesn't make money doing it.  But this means so much more than material profits.

Thank you for taking the time to comment, and for your amazing response.  I sincerely hope your interest will continue, and that I will not disappoint you.

This story is destined to be a Whispers' Best Fan Fiction Classic once it's completed.

What a perfectly lovely thing for you to say!  All comments are always welcome, of course - the reward for those of us who choose to write and put our work out there for all to see in the hope that someone will find joy in the reading.  But it is doubly wonderful when the appreciation for the effort comes from someone with your talent and repertoire of lovely work.

Reviewer: skgurl (Anonymous) · Date: October 08, 2011 03:12 AM · On: Chapter 52

this is a great story, one of the best that i have read. it  has drama and comedy and action and adventure and everything else you could hope for. I look forward to the next installment of this amazing story.

Reviewer: debv3 (Signed) · Date: October 07, 2011 09:18 AM · On: Chapter 52

I think Michael needs to go get his daughter in Florida and bring her home. He's her father and has custody of her, no reason why she can't live with him.  When is Brian going to stop keeping secrets and just let Justin make his own decisions when it comes to their relationship and where Justin wants to be. 

Mel is such a bitter, unhappy woman who has lost touch with reality because she is so wrapped up in her own ideas. Can't wait for the next chapter.  I hope your health improves.

Reviewer: TrinTiff (Signed) · Date: October 07, 2011 03:05 AM · On: Chapter 52

How in the world do you make over 15,000 words go by so FAST? It feels like I just started reading it and then I'm at the end, thinking "wait, what? already?" This was another great chapter!  The sex in the beginning was indeed a treat! As well as in the end! I almost (almost!) felt sorry for McFed when Justin told him to leave in the end and laughed when he said it didn't really matter, he'd do it anyway! 

Ah, Melanie! Still a vindictive witch! I hope she does try to take JR out of the country and realizes that she can't.  She think she can manipulate anyone; it's high time she came up against some powers that she can't get around! 

And poor Ted, he's going to lose Blake if he stays obessed with Brian.  I hope he doesn't; Blake is the best thing for him, not a displaced loyalty to Brian.

Don't apologize for the time in between chapters! We know your health is not great so taking care of yourself is more important!  A chapter every couple of months is fine with me.  Take care of YOU!  There's a lot of Brian Kinney in you, it seems!  Worrying about everyone else to the detriment of yourself!  No wonder you write him so well!  :-D

Huge hugs! Cindy

I'm sorry to hear that you are not well.  While I was not so patiently waiting for the update, that sounds like a good excuse to me and when we do get a new chapter it is always worth the wait.  I was hoping to be privy to the conversation that took place between Brian and McFed after he found out Brian had something medically wrong but either they had that conversation is private or McFed knew better than to push it.  Thanks for sharing.

Reviewer: inabluefunk (Signed) · Date: October 06, 2011 06:41 PM · On: Chapter 52

A lovely update, all with a love scene, with a bitchy Melanie and a coniving Ted [WTF what is wrong with that guy?].

What are you planning for the almighty Kinney, is he gonna be blind or what? And is Justin gonna pick up on this health issue in time to stand by his man? Or is he never gonna find out and everything will turn out OK for them?

And of course since we have no mention of the case building in the Pitts, what about that?

So many questions, so little updates LOL.

I hope you're feeling better BTW and you keep hunging on [I mean we all have to suck it up, don't we? present company included DEFINITELY!]

All the best and a hung on hug

Oh such a delightful chapter and beautiful Brian and Justin loving at the beginning and end. OMG what the hell is Ted up to and how does he think that by keeping secrets from Brian will win back Brian's trust!!!. Mel is so wrapped up in her anger and evil plans she cannot see the only person who is going to get hurt is Gus or her.

Another spellbinding chapter thanks so much Cyn I adore this fic and hold you to your promise that you will finish it :) I am looking forward to sitting with a nice red wine by a roaring fire and  re-reading it in full again when it is finished lol xo Chris

I really love how the characters are so close to cannon..i swear it makes it so much easier to imagine it in my head! Loving it so far!

Reviewer: Terri - Sydney, Australia (Anonymous) · Date: October 06, 2011 12:18 PM · On: Chapter 52

Yahoo!!!!  a new chapter! Greatly enjoyed it, waiting with bated breath for more. Melanie is getting more desperate (it really is about Brian's financial assistance) and Ted seems oblivious that it really isn't about money and that he's about to lose more than $$$$$. And he still persists with cooking up another scheme - I hope someone is keeping an eye on him.

You are the queen of plot and language - more soon please!

Reviewer: Eucebo (Anonymous) · Date: September 30, 2011 08:13 PM · On: Chapter 51

Don't worry Cyn, make yourself better that we will be here waiting to finish this story. I like the idea of a secuel, but please don't end this one too badly... I mean, I don't think I have the strenght to go trough this hole story without having a good ending. It doesn't have to be "perfect", just good, nice... with love.

 

Hope you get better soon. See ya!

Reviewer: Anonymous (Anonymous) · Date: September 27, 2011 07:29 AM · On: Chapter 51

Do not worry.  We will wait.  Far too invested to let it go now.  So do what you need to do to get healthy, that is first and foremost.  Then you can go back to giving your loyal, if not slightly impatient, readers what they desparately want.  More. 

Reviewer: cynical21 (Signed) · Date: September 25, 2011 09:51 PM · On: Chapter 51

OK, OK, OK - you don't have to say it.  Trust me - I KNOW it's been way too long, and you're all undoubtedly thinking that this selfish, inconsiderate author has just decided to leave you dangling - a complete breach of faith when all of you have been so supportive and loyal.  But I beg to differ, or, at least, explain myself.

Starting on August 11, I have been in and out of the hospital twice, and convalescing during and after.  It's only in the last week that I have begun to regain my strength and focus.  So I have begun to work on the next chapter, but I still get tired easily and have to pace myself.  And trust me when I tell you that you do NOT want to read anything that I might come up with when I'm not able to focus, because it is simply dreadful.  Anyway, I'm writing again, if at a slightly diminished rate, and I do hope to have Chapter 52 ready to post within the next week.

To everyone who has lingered here, my profound thanks for your interest and concern.  Barring some dreadful physical circumstance - which I do NOT anticipate - I WILL finish this story and - hopefully - be capable of writing a sequel, which is already perking along in my head.

So - if you've hung in there this long, I hope you will find it in your hearts to hang in for a bit longer.  It is coming - I promise.

This story was hard to read at times and so emotional in others but it was just so beautifully written and emotional. Oh I REALLY hope that one day at sometime you would finish this just a summary or something because i am dying to know what happens next!

Reviewer: Angelstar2 (Anonymous) · Date: August 20, 2011 09:42 AM · On: Chapter 51

WHAT! THATS IT!!! IT ENDS THERE? NO WAY!

 

Who is behind it, did they catch them, does Brian go blind? Do they live happily ever after? OMG! What happened next!!!!!

 

*weeps* Hundreds of Thousands of words and what happened???

Oh, No, Honey, that's not the end.  We still have at least two and possibly as many as four more chapters before we reach that dramatic closing scene.  I hope it will not disappoint.

Reviewer: Angelstar2 (Anonymous) · Date: August 20, 2011 08:54 AM · On: Chapter 50

OMG this story is just like one of the best things ever. Granted it was REALLY hard for me to read at first because of the violence to our dear Brian it was so hard to follow the warehouse scene that put this whole epic tale into motion that I almost flounced. But I took a few days and came back to it because no way it would be horriable throughout without some resolution.  This story and this Brian is beautiful and loving and so much growth. From where this tale began I never imagined the twists and turns that would make it end up here. But i have stayed up reading all night (seriously 3 am) and looking like a zombie at work attempting to in less than a week and a half to complete this but man what an understaking. But in the end its just too good to stop. I am reviewing now because this is not marked complete and i am SOOO sad wondering if the next chapter will end at a stopping place. I dont know if you as an aurthor mointor this account but if you do PLEASE TELL ME just in a sentence or two if they live healthy and happily ever after!



Author's Response:

Sorry - didn't mean to skip this one.  OK - I never, never give assurances about how something will end, mainly because I'm never 100% sure, until it actually comes to me as I write it.  Do I want them to live happily ever after?  Yes, I do.  Do I believe that they belong together, that they've earned the right to walk into the sunset hand in hand?  Again, I do.  And I hope that will be the final resolution.  But I have to be honest.  If it works out that way, it still may be a long time coming, as I have not entirely decided that this story will end with this one piece of fiction.  There may be others yet to come.

But I do hope you continue to enjoy the ride, and I thank you for your interest.

Hey CYN, I just wanted to say that I've finally started this chapter, so I'm very excited :D. I've been very sick this past few months, so even though I wanted, I just couldn't read it sooner. And it works better for me this way, because now I'm closer to the date of the next chapter being published, so I won't have to wait too long between chapters... although, afterwards it will be very hard for me to wait paciently hehe.

Love your story! can't wait for the grand finale! ;D

See ya!

Thanks so much for your continued interest.  I hope it won't take too long for me to get the next chapter ready, and I hope your interest continues.  I hope the grand finale lives up to its promise.
