This was a great story from start to finish!!  I loved the introduction of Brian's brother Liam.    He was truly a great character, and it was no surprise at all that Brian loved and cared for him as much as he did.  



Author's Response:

Thanks for the review!  So glad people are still reading and enjoyng my stories so many years later.   It's so much appreciatated.

Wahhh I loved this so much. And now I'm so sad it come to an end. I'm gonna miss this story so much. It taught me so many things tbh. It was trully beautiful. Not a single character was annoying to me and the story got me so hooked I couldn't stop reading. Absolutely loved Brian and Justin dinamic and interaction. How they slowly open up to each other and loved the other unconditionally <3

Reviewer: Lorma (Signed) · Date: October 13, 2018 05:57 PM · On: Epilogue

I waited to the end of this long ride to comment.  I absolutely loved this story.  I’m not sure how long ago you wrote it or how long it has been on this site but I’m kind of glad I just found it.  I loved being able to read it from start to finish without having to wait for each new chapter to be posted.  This story had so many twists and turns.  It was adventurous from start to finish.  You really fleshed out Brian’s and Justin’s characters digging to the bottom of their psyche and brought your readers along on the journey of their relationship.  I can’t praise you enough for writing such an entertains piece.  I hope more of your work is on the way.

 

 

 



Author's Response:

Hi Lorma,

Thank you so much for your kind review. I've written this years ago. I truly loved writing this story.  I'll always have a special place in my heart for Brian and Justin. 

Thank you for reading and taking the time to comment.  It's nice to know after all this time people are still enjoying my story

 

Best,

Gina

Omg! Fantastic story, Gina! I'm going to miss this fantastic read. I was on the edge of my seat. I can't believe it took so long for me to finally read it. I loved the strong Justin you wrote. Absolutely one of my all time favorites. Will re-visit this again. I hope you are well. It's been a long time since I've seen you on L.J.  I will never forget your amazing soda shop, which I know is gone now. I hope you see all the new readers that will enjoy your wonderful writing. Hugs! Annie



Author's Response:

Coming from you this means a log to me  *hugs*  I miss the shop too.  :-(   But life goes on. It's good to hear from you. I hope you are well.   I'm so glad you enjoyed this story.   It's been a long time since I've written anything... Nothing inspires me quite like these two boys did.  

Reviewer: nickknack (Signed) · Date: June 17, 2015 10:43 AM · On: Epilogue

Loved this story, one of the best AU 's about our boys and their "family". Look forward to more from Gina Marie :-)



Author's Response:

Thank you!  I haven't written in a while. I'm hoping to be inspired to write another story soon.  I'm so glad you enjoyed this story.

Reviewer: QaFfangirl (Signed) · Date: May 17, 2014 11:05 AM · On: Chapter 11

So I'm reading this story via pdf since it's so lengthy and I'm to chapter 11.  It is simply amazing and so creative.  What a talent you have.  



Author's Response:

Thank you so much for this wonderful, totally undeserved, compliment!  I read it and cringe. There are so many gramatical errors. Ugh..  I could have used a beta.  However, I did enjoy writitng it and am very glad you like the story lines!

Reviewer: balrogtweety (Signed) · Date: April 30, 2014 05:24 AM · On: Epilogue

I just read this in three days and I can't believe what I just read.

This story was AMAZING!!!  I loved the banter between the two of them and the cases they worked on.  And finding out that Brian had a brother was out of this world.

There were times I laughed and times I could have punched a wall with Joan's head.  I'm glad everything worked out for our two lovers.

Amazing as ever.  Keep up the great work.



Author's Response:

Thank you so much!  So glad you enjoyed it

Excellente histoire, beaucoup d'intrigues très bien amenées, des personnages intenses et vraiment très crédibles et une écrriture qui coule de source.

Parfait

A bientôt.



Author's Response:

Merci Beaucoup!  Je suis tres heureux qu'il vousa plu!

Reviewer: Adrita (Anonymous) · Date: April 23, 2013 03:24 AM · On: Epilogue

Seriously, this hurts so much that the story ended, because this is the best fucking story i have read in the whole website, no lie and no flattery, this story broke through so much for me, and your writing is just perfect, like a picasso piece ;) thank you so much for sharing your gift and this gem of a story!



Author's Response:

Thank you so much for this lovely review!  I'm very glad you enjoyed it.

Reviewer: Adrita (Anonymous) · Date: April 22, 2013 01:55 PM · On: Chapter 11

Please no more blood play :( that was just fucking gross! But seriously your writing is unmatched. It is soo fucking amazing, every sentence has me flinging emotion all over the place, i love it!



Author's Response:

Thank you!  Glad you liked it. Well, except the blood play.  :-)  I'm just too much into True Blood these days! Thanks for commenting.

Reviewer: Weave the Magic (Signed) · Date: February 07, 2013 03:58 PM · On: Chapter 3

Your Justin is really giving a run for his money against QAF Justin. Same as your Brian. Qaf Justin is quite self-assured and confident, but I wonder if he can get as cocky as the Broken Open Justin as he gets older?  Your Justin (see, you own one! Lucky you) developed this in the streets, on the job. And he is as sexy and cock-sure as Brian. He could probably wrestle the title of 'Stud of Liberty Avenue' from the original Brian if he were a bit taller.  Hahaha!

Now I'm curious here. How do you know street lingo? Interviewed some hookers before this? Or cruised many nights for research? ;)



Author's Response:

I grew up on the lower east side of Manhattan. I'm no stranger to the streets.  :-)   And not in that way!  lol   I loved writing this Brian!  So glad you like him.

Reviewer: Weave the Magic (Signed) · Date: February 06, 2013 09:13 PM · On: Chapter 2

And the trademark bantering starts. Love them all.  I also like the original characters you created, Shane and Lucas.  One thing that I miss in Broken Open is that Emmett did not have major parts in the cases of the agency. He's always off to the other projects of the company.



Author's Response:

I kind of miss Emmett too. He is so much fun to write, and had more prominant roles in my BTWYTWY series.  Maybe, If I do a sequel to this, I'll feature him more. I love the dynamic's between Brian and Emmett. I think they are very much alike in some ways.

Thanks for commenting!

Reviewer: Weave the Magic (Signed) · Date: February 06, 2013 08:48 PM · On: Chapter 1

This is my nth time reading this and would love to leave some reviews on some of the chapters. Something that I should have done first time I read this.

Still enjoying the the 'rejection' dialogue of Justin. Whatever come back Brian tried to do, even with much savvy and sexiness, I still think Justin won that round hands down. Hahaha!



Author's Response:

So glad you enjoy this story. It was fun writing!  And thank you for commenting!  I happen to love this version of Justin.  :-)

Reviewer: Avampiregirl (Anonymous) · Date: January 26, 2013 10:57 PM · On: Epilogue

Reviewer: Weave the Magic (Signed) · Date: January 17, 2013 03:15 PM · On: Epilogue

In case you plan to have a sequel, I can give you more information on the divisions and correct positions (and I mean corporate! No dirty minds pls ;D) in advertising. One used so often, but puts Brian in the lower rung of the corporate ladder, is Ad Executive.  I work with advertising agencies, though not in America, but I think the hierarchy and divisions are almost the same. 



Author's Response:

Thanks!  I'd like that.  I'll let you know if I decide to write a sequel.

Reviewer: Weave the Magic (Signed) · Date: January 17, 2013 11:28 AM · On: Epilogue

I LOVE LOVE this story! And just like your other readers, I have read this numerous times.  I even painstakenly made a pdf copy of this so I can read it anytime. No worries, I dont plan to reprint it nor even dare to claim it as mine. I just love to keep it handy when I feel the urge to laugh and be entertaine by your Brian and Justin.  Having said this, I really hope there's a sequel of Broken Open.



Author's Response:

Thank you!  I'm so glad you enjoyed this story so much. It was fun to write!   Sequel? Maybe, some day.  I just can't seem to let these two gorgeous men go!

 

Thanks for commenting.

Sigh...it's over, again...until I read it the next time, that is. LOL!

Seriously, though - SEQUEL! Pretty please with sugar on top!

Cheers,

Author's Response:

I will write again. Not sure if it will be a sequel, but I hope you like it the same.  :-) thank you so much for your comments, and encouragement!

Reviewer: Cheburashka2 (Signed) · Date: August 29, 2012 05:16 AM · On: Chapter 13

I swear to God, Justin being shot was just as shocking & emotional for the 3rd time as the first. You have a true gift! I was EXPECTING it; I knew the when, the who and the how, yet it still affected me!

I loved this chapter. Brian being a shit to Justin when he was "dying" was frustrating again, even though I understood the reasonin; same with his not visiting the hospital.

The "honey, I'm home" & "your mother's a bitch", made me laugh yet again!

I cannot tell you how much I just LOVE this story to pieces! So, here's my question - I remember "rumors" that you have thought of a sequel. I checked a couple of last reviews and some of your responses confirmed that you've at least thought of writing one. I am wondering if that's still in the works or not. Oh, just so you know, I'm mentally twisting my entire body into a pretzel (because crossing fingers is just not enough) to make it come TRUE! Please let me know.

Cheers,

Vin

 



Author's Response:

You truly make my day!  And you are inspiring me to start writing again. I will write a sequel, though I'm not sure if it will be to this story, or to BTWYTWY, or maybe a whole new story!  :-).  But it won't be until Winter when things calm down at work.

Until then, I'm all ears for any idea's for a new story.   :-)

 

thank you so much for your wonderful comments!

Reviewer: Cheburashka2 (Signed) · Date: August 28, 2012 12:45 AM · On: Chapter 3

Justin's hustler character is totally and completely awesome!

Oh, and that kiss...OMG, that kiss! Reading it for the third time is just as powerful and vivid, and romantic as the first time I read it.

Amazing!



Author's Response:

Nothing better than a B/J kiss..   *sigh*   :-)

Reviewer: Cheburashka2 (Signed) · Date: August 27, 2012 07:56 AM · On: Chapter 1

Hi Marie,

A comment on one of my stories reminded me of this amazing fic and I just had to give it a 3rd go 'round. It's captivating every single time and even through I've read it twice already and pretty much know what will happen next, I still can't wait to read the next chapter.

“What demented queen is responsible for this?” Emmett asked as he walked into the office.

That line makes me laugh out loud every single time, just so you know.

As ever in love with this story,

Vin



Author's Response:

You have no idea how much reading this comment ment to me. It's so nice to hear that people come back to visit my stories.  It's the greatest compliment.

Thank you!

What a treat to get a nice wrap up on this and see that things are going so well for them!  Wonderful how they are moving into advertising and Justin’s showing his paintings.  Liam’s kindness toward his mother is touching.  His “N-no one dd-serves tt-o be tt-there.  Bri…pp-please” choked me up.  The thought of a baby in the future is just icing on the cake!

Thanks for this wonderful story.  Actually thanks for all your

stories – all were wonderful.

 

This epilogue was beautifully done.  Thanks for tying up just

about everything – from the handling of Joan, to Justin’s desire

for a child.

 

All characters were handled with kindness and sensitivity.  Your

love and affection of Brian and Justin, and the magic of their

relationship came through ‘loud and clear.’  Good for you!

 

One last time, thanks for your stories.  You have succeeded in
provide me (us) with many hours of wonderful reading.

Author's Response:

Thank you DavidR!  You have always been a great supporter of my stories. I cannot tell you how much I appreciate all your comments.   I'm so very happy you liked this story.   I enjoyed writing it, and hope to write another one soon.   With a little inspiration, and time...who knows?!    BTWYTWY, will always be my first baby, my favorite, but I'm pretty proud of all my stories.   I'm thinking of continuing in the BTWYTWY Series, what do you think?  :-)

Reviewer: confused_bliss (Anonymous) · Date: January 21, 2012 12:10 AM · On: Epilogue

Oh my dear Gina... I am speechless! Utterly and completely - not an easy feat in me - let me assure you! :) I have had this story on my 'to do list' for some time now, and finally I said I am taking a day (last night as well) away from my mulitiple projects & read it all. I am so happy that I did. All I can coherently say is this: I was captivated from the very first paragaph to the last. This is a remarkable work. You do yourself so proud. I wish I could give you a whole row of blue ribbons - it would be richly deserved. The pasion, love, action and every other emotion that I can't even think of right now was so vividly expressed.

I am gushing & babbling here, but I am just so totally overwhelmed by the perfection and beauty of this story. Let me end by saying simply this - on all counts this story goes in my own persona list of one of the best stories - EVER. Thank you so much for writing this!! ~Hugssss~

I would love to know how they got the money back from the bitch mother Joan... also I would love to know how Liam continued to improve and live his own life.... did the dr go down for drugging Liam?.... But most of all it would be great to see how our favourite boys make out.... what is Brian doing now that he has stopped being a PI? and how is Justing going with his art?

Reviewer: highd (Anonymous) · Date: October 24, 2011 08:47 PM · On: Chapter 24

The more and more I think about the ending of this story. I can't help but wish that you would have made the Liam stuff a sequel. The Connie, Cujo, Hobbs stories sort of all fit, but when Liam is just dropped on us in the middle of the story it just feels a bit off. It's not that I don't like the Liam story line. It's just that I wish there would have been some clues or something that would have given us some heads that there was something going on with Brian before your introduced him. 

I guess my issue with Liam is that he is dropped on us in such an odd way that I had very little if any emotional attachment to him. I found that I was more attached to Agnes, and Shane, then I did Liam. Which is odd because I liked him. 

Not changing my mind about the story. Just thought I would put these thoughts down writers seem to really dig getting more contructive feedback so I thought I would put this out there. 



Author's Response:

I see your point, and you're right.  I always intended for 'secrets' of Brian's past to be revealed in this story (hence he NEVER spoke of his family to anyone) and the Liam idea came to me late in the game. However, I originally intended to spend more time developing the Liam storyline but RL interfered and I was forced to cut it short. In hindsight, maybe the Liam story line would have been better as a sequel.  I wish I had more time to develop it.  I'm starting a new job this week and wanted to finish this story before I got to immensed in the new job. I pride myself on always finishing my stories. The fact that this one didn't come out as I would have liked it to, stings me a bit. Maybe one day I'll revisit it and revise the Liam storyline. Not as a sequel, but expand on the plot giving that character more dept.

 

Thank you for giving this story a thoughtful review!  I really appreciate it. Comments like this make me look at my body of work, and find ways to improve!

Reviewer: M_elle_22 (Signed) · Date: September 03, 2010 04:10 AM · On: Chapter 7

Brian spat out an unrecognizable expletive that Justin made a mental note to ask him about later.

You know, I've read this line many times in fic, and wish for once an author would write the damn explitive!  LOL.  I can't for the life of me figure out what he might just be saying.  However, knowing me, Im going to google "raunchy" or "especially vicious" insults.  LOL.  (I love reading on the computer, I google everything.  Whenever the boys buy a car, go on vacation, rent a hotel room or buy a garment, I google the make, map, layout and designer, lol.  See, there is plenty to learn reading porn.)  :o)

Justin stilled his hands on Brian’s shoulders. He couldn’t imagine the anguish Brian must be feeling right now.  Regardless of what Conrad did, he was still Brian’s first love, and only love to date. Justin’s heart ached for Brian.  He wrapped his arms around Brian from behind and just held him.  He let a few minutes pass before he spoke again.

I love this aspect of my Justin.  He could be jealous, or even condecending of Brian aching about an old highschool love, but he only cares about how Brian feels right now and is concerned and wanting to give comfort.

“Well if this ‘once in a lifetime love’ makes cowards out of men, then I pity you.  Connie should have manned up and told me the truth instead of running off in the middle of the night like some thief.” Brian said.

Im glad Justin ripped into Mark for how he spoke to Brian that night, and even happier Brian appreciated it and accepted Justin defending him.

Math sexy?  Ha, now that is just fiction.  Though, our boys even manage to make that hot!



Author's Response:

I'm glad you liked this chapter. It's one of my favorites.  I love a protective Justin.  :-)

Reviewer: M_elle_22 (Signed) · Date: September 03, 2010 02:35 AM · On: Chapter 6

Oh my.  I loved this chapter!  So much has happened!  Brian meeting up with that scum John Doe what-ever-his name is.  Grr.  I've been thinking about this for awhile, letting it stew. 

14 year old boys dont have sex.  They are molested!  I am pleased with Brian's revelation to himself that he didnt want to hear his lover talk and quickly got them back to what he wanted to be doing: having sex.  This at least tells me he found the situation wholely pleasureable.  It doesn't make it right by any means, but at least while he was IN the situation it was what he thought he wanted.

But it went on for FOUR YEARS!  During his most formative years Brian was in an illegal relationship! I think this is horrible.  :o(

THEN, when they broke up it wasn't simply a parting of the ways, a growing apart.  No, Brian was "dumped" and left to feel inferior or inadequate.  Then the new boyfriend had to rub salt in the wound.

Who would do that!?!  After FOUR LONG YEARS in a emotionally crippling, mind warping, even though he wanted it, not good for him, relationship, the new guy had to make him feel even more like shit.  It makes, in my opinion, John Doe just as bad as the pedophile who molested Brian all those years.  His actions hurt him emotionally equally as much.  :o(

Im thrilled Justin was able to pull Brian out of his emotional tailspin.  That Justin could support him, even while learning important things about himself.   I love that Brian recognized a gift when it was given to him, and cherished it.  Made it special.  And that Justin felt special.  :o)

Now in the light of day, in the direct path of the past, I hope they both keep on the track of healing and cherishing each other.



Author's Response:

you're right to be angry. Conrad was the adult, what he did was plain out wrong, no matter what.  But unfortunately these situations happen often, especially in the gay community.   In season 1 Brian tells Justin about his encounter with his coach (teacher?) when he was fourteen. how he blew him in the shower.  That's where I got the premise for this storyline.

So glad you like this chapter!  Thanks for commenting

I love the time spent in the museum, how Gus and Jus bonded.

It was great how Justin refused to accept Mikey's rudeness and called him on it repeatedly, and confidently saying he'd have no problem going thru Ben first to get to him.  I loved that Brian was sure he could, and would, go thru on this promise if he didnt intervene fast.  He didn't protect Mikey at all, and didn't over react protectively for Justin either.  He didnt take sides.  He was there and would let them have the chance to set their own boundaries.

Kiki was a gem, tearing up and happily forgiving Justin his rudeness when he was undercover.  OMG, she really did jerk off in his milkshake!

You didn't let me down!  Brian saw Justin's work and thought he was a true artist.  Cant wait to see the paintings!

Im sorry Brian and Justin already hit a bump, before they could firmly cement their friendship and experience some of those extra 'benefits.'

I hope Brian doesn't queen out overly much.



Author's Response:

Yay!  You kept Justin artistic!  I always like AUs where he remains essentially the same but in a different circumstance.  Im hoping you will have him just blow Lindz and Brian away with his talent!

I love that the boys were laughing in bed.  I think that is a wonderful way to begin a relationship.  Then the play for dominance between the two of them was awsome!  Canon Justin, though otherwise a top, rarely ever tried for dominance with Brian.  He was always so wary of being tossed out that he would never risk it.  In time I always felt that he would become dominant.  Its his intelegence I think, its something that I find very sexy and can imagine him wanting to orchistrate the evening.  Lucky Brian!

A day with Brian and Gus.  I cant imagine a better way to spend the day. :o)



Author's Response:

I always like Justin's intellegence.  Between the two, I believe Justin was always more 'emotionally' intelligent.   In my AU, Justin is much stronger, but he, like Brian, is damaged because of past events in their lifes. And for me, I couldnt write Justin any other way than artistic!   He's so beautifully creative!  Glad you liked this chpater.

Reviewer: M_elle_22 (Signed) · Date: September 02, 2010 11:50 AM · On: Chapter 3

Im glad Justin is not seriously injured.  I like that Brian clearly respects Justin as a full grown man with many capabilities.  Brian's concern is reasonable in the face of what their mission was, and his protectiveness is reasonable based on the injury and that Justin was his employee.  I like that they are equal.

LOL.  Love Kiki!  She was really funny slamming that milkshake down absolutely certain Justin was a street kid with no manners!  But, um, 10.5 inches!  What a waste indeed! 

Im excited that on Justin's very first case on his very first day with the agency a major criminal was captured.  :o)

I love your fic because all the slick banter.  Did you ever see the show Moonlighting?  It was, as I remember, amazing for the banter and the sexual tension the two main characters - detectives, ironically enough.  Starred a young Bruce Willis and Cybil Sheppard.

I decided to turn off the notepad adn just go with my impressions.  I can tell you really work hard on your fics and would hate for you to think Im picking the apart.  :o)



Author's Response:

Agnes, is based on the secretary from Moonlighting...one of my favorite shows.   The premise for this story is also based on that tv show  Glad you picked up on that!  :-)  Though as you will see in upcoming chapters, it (the cases) get much darker.   Thank you for commenting, I'm so glad you are enjoying this story!

I've been keeping my notepad up to help me make sure I comment thoughtfully on each story I've been reading.  Unfortunately for you, it means I can take notes...Your chapter is rather long and I made a number of notes.  LOL. 

Upate New York….Two days before Valentines Day..............I think you mean *upstate*

Gods’ hands? You put the plural possessive on every reference....It should be *God's* hands

......but beneath the desire there was something else.  Something he didn’t see too often in the eyes of his admires.  Intellectual curiosity.  Blondie was sizing him up, the man....

That's right.  Justin may be beautiful and smitten by Brian's good looks, but he was more than lusting after a potential trick.  Justin also liked to use his mind to fuck.  (pun intended when it comes to Brian!)  LOL

There was a quiet strength about him that was intoxicating....I like this line.  It discribes Justin so well on so many levels.


But the golden god before him was too overt in his overture.  There was a reckless boldness about him that intrigued and even tempted him, but also sent up red flags.

Very interesting take on Brian's need for control, and perhaps sensing that Justin wasn't the type to just lie back and allow him to lead, so to speak, lol.

 
For some odd reason it bothered him to hear her malign the man’s character. He didn’t know who the Greek Adonis was, but he knew he didn’t like hearing this woman speak ill of him.

OOOOOooooo,  Ive always been partial to protective!Justin!  :o)

I dont think Brian is all that bad when it comes to his prededtory ways or snarky-ness.  He is upfront and honest in both areas.  Where he fails, his inability to sometimes see what's right there in his heart, is actually what makes him loveable.  :o)

I love the Liberty Ave Gang being together, kinda like canon.  And, I love how all the characters are familiar from the show, or, your other fics.  Shane!?!?!  I LOVE Shane.  I thought she was at her best before she became all woman = playing for both teams.  C'mon.  This is gay fanfic and a huge portion of the writers are women.  We ALL want to be Shane if we have to remain women.  I think the next time my mom gets all up in my face because I've remained single too long, I may just tell her its because Im suffering from an identity crisis:  Im a gai boi twink in a nearly 40 year old woman's body, LOL!


“Kinney’s Private Dicks!  You drop it, we’ll spot it. He cheats, we’ll peak. Loved one gone, we’ll find him before dawn.  You need a trace?  This is the place! No job too big, no job too small.  We’re here to service one and all!  How may I you?”  Agnes answered the phone

I can tell you just enjoyed writing this!  I think I may just like Agnes.  :o)


Carl Horaviths???? Why did you change his good Magyar name?

 Excellent second meeting of my men.  Intellectual dualling in the mens room, lol.  Cant wait to find out Justin's response to the job offer....

I loved the scene with Brian and Justin, after Justin was shot.  Then later I just wanted to smack him, when he was mad at Brian for being rude to his mommy!  She could have given an iceberg lessons on how to be cold!  I think Brian was actually RESTRAINED when talking to her!  Anyway, I loved the update, as always.  I didn't think you were going to be posting here anymore, so I stopped checking.  I'm glad I finally looked.  Are the boys going to have any more adventures in the detective agency?  I hope so.  This is a really great AU.

Reviewer: DavidR (Anonymous) · Date: August 15, 2010 12:03 AM · On: Chapter 13

Hi there,


 


Well at least that part of the story is over with.  All that happened is


that Justin got shot and nearly killed. Geeeez.  It made me longue for


the good old days of Mark and Conrad.  Well not really, I didn’t like 


either one of them.  While I am here, Cujo was a bad bad bad


person.  Some would say evil.  Deuce is also screwed up and


dangerous.  I’m not sure just what he will be charged with, but I


assume he is going to jail or something similar. 



I just don’t feel any sympathy for these characters.  A wise old man


once said to me, “David – remember, it is not what they say but what


they do”.  Case closed!


 


I do feel sorry for Josh.  As was pointed out in the chapter and


before, he was abused by that group.  It would be great if Brian,


Justin, Shane and Co. rallied around him.  That would give him a


chance to grow up and be the best homosexual he can be.


 


I am glad we are going to find out more about the Justin/Chris


relationship and what happened.  Although it was described in


previous chapters, it has always been an open question that could use


more of an explanation.  Since I don’t like Mark and Conrad, you can


just imagine what I am going say about Hobbs. 


 


Thanks for this terrific story and this terrific chapter. 


 


DavidR


 


Goooo JETS!


 



Author's Response:

Yes go Jets!  lol   I agree with you, Cujo and Deuce were bad bad characters. I will tie up some loose end in the next chapter (like what happens to Deuce and Josh) Then it's on to the next storyline.  Justin confronts Hobbs, Brian deals with Jennifer (thinking 'Monster in Law' scenario, lol) and maybe throw a monkey wench or two in the mix.

So glad you liked this chapter DavidR!  Thank you for commenting.

Something lighter I think.  Jennifer will cause some mischief.  Sparks will fly between her and Brian, and not 'in a positive life affirming way," lol.  I'm thinking 'Monster in Law" lol

Reviewer: Cynical21 (Anonymous) · Date: August 13, 2010 08:40 PM · On: Chapter 13

Wow!  A reader can tell when a writer is amazingly gifted when she finds herself moved to feel sorry for a character who is - and is meant to be - a complete dirtbag - as in the case of Cujo.  He was a dreadful, hateful, homophobic, bigoted ass who deserved what he got, and yet - somewhere along the way - you imbued him with a kind of pathos, as if he never had a choice but to walk the path laid out for him.  Now that's a sign of a gifted writer, m'dear.  And - as always - your lovely Justin and your even lovelier Brian just grab one's heart and don't let go.

What a joy to read.

CYN



Author's Response:

Thank you so much Cyn!   I try to give my villians a human side as well.  You described Cujo perfectly.  A tragic figure, doomed from the start.   He inflicted pain on others, and suffered it himself. In the end, he truly caused his own destruction.  Giving my characters dimensions makes them more believable,and personable to 'me'. If I can't 'feel' them, I know others won't either.   It's why I LOVE your writing so much too.  There is so much depth to your characters you can hate them, yet 'get' them at the same time. 

Thank you so much for this lovely review!  It means a lot comming from such a talented writer as your self.  *hugs*

I love when people use her the right way. Daphne and Justin might have been young, and a bit silly at times but there friendship was very mature. Thank you for writing their friendship very close to cannon. I can't wait to see Brian and Jennifer meet face to face. Hope the next chapter is easier and that the 12 pound babies don't come your way. :)

It's so good to read from you again, Gina.

And now I guess it's time for me to review this chapter...

 

I'm stunned. Stunned to the core, believe me.

I'll never understand how you can elaborate such convincing storylines: even when very common turning points are required, you're able to drive away any feeling of boredom or third rate drama and just display raw, genuine and believable emotions.

Brian and Justin are very special as characters, I concede that, but your writing skills are the final kick. Mr Kinney vs. Mrs Tucker....Hahahahaha! That's great.

*Sniff, sniff* I smell talent, here.

 

P.s. Forgive me too, I'm aware there wasn't any beta this time...BTW, the actor's last name is De Niro, not Di Nero.

(I know, being Italian AND fussy is a mortal combo.

Just as much as being blond and smart, if you think about it. *wink* ).

 

Thank you for everything so far,

 

 

Kora

Thank you Kora for this wonderful review!  And I should know better, (about De niro) I love him!  lol   You flatter me tremendously...I'm truly humbled by your praise of my story. I'm just very, very happy you find joy in reading.  I love writing about these two wonderful characters, and creating new characters for them to play with.  

This is not the end, this chapter was ending one story acrh, and bridge into the next.  Brian and Jennifer, (I intend to have fun with them two,)  And Justin finnaly confronting Hobbs. and who knows? Maybe I'll throw in another plotline for fun.   Thank you so much fore reading, and for commenting!

Well things turned out great even though poor Josh snapped over the supposed death of Shane. My girl Daphne showed up for our boy Sunshine as if I didn't see that coming, she was her vivacious and completely insightful self as always. The Brian and Jennifer phone call was so damn funny those two are so much alike it hurts in some instances.

I'm hoping some further detail about Josh's progress will be mentioned b/c he is a good kid just hurt and angry and its understandable, the things he's been through and the other students.

 

Excellent ending to this story arc.



Author's Response:

Thank you so much for this comment Vision.  I had a difficult time ending this arch, and transitioning into the next plotline. I'm glad you think it worked. I will mention Josh's progress in the next chapter. there is still one or two loose ends I need to address before totally immensing in the next story line.  I'll probably deal with them back in the Pitts at a morning meeting at Private Dicks.   Then I'll be free to let my muse take me in another direction. There will be a storyline between Brian and Justin's mother, not sure what yet, but I like the energy between those two. Justin will finally come full circle and confront Hobbs...actually, he'll be forced to, and, though I have no idea what the next adventure will be, there WILL be one more adventure for out boys before they can settle down and live happiliy ever after. :-)

So glad you're still liking this story! And thank you for commenting.

This is probably one of the best and most well written AU Justin/Brian fics I have read. I read it straight through.

I love their relationship and how you realistically have them falling in love. 

 

Keep up the good work.



Author's Response:

Thanks Jaime!  I'm so glad you're enjoying the story.

God I just had to read this again while waiting for the next chapter, and it hasn't lost any of its power. if anything I'm more breathless this time! Thrilled to hear the next chapter is on the way and that you have an idea for your next fic.



Author's Response:

Thanks cherub68! With any luck, I'll have the next chapter posted tonight!  ( I swear getting this chapter out was like pushing a 12 pound baby out!  lol)  I hope it doesn't dissapoint. So glad you're enjoying this fiction, and thank you again for commenting!

OK I have caught up with this whirlwind of a story. I love that there are so many things going on. Brian and Justin are amazing. It's kind of awesome how you made them work on their relationship from the beginning, knowing that the connection was so strong let them both deal with the bullshit up front. I also really like how no matter what you keep them honest and let them be open with their emotions. You have something wonderful here. You gave us a mature Brian and Justin story and directed the angst in a completely awesome new why. 

Can't wait to see what else you are going to give us.

Author's Response:

Thank you for this wonderful review Highd!  I wanted to portray a mature B and J, evenly matched in temperment.  I thought it would provide for some sparks and put then on even footing where one isn't damaged more than the other. Just two equally damagaed men trying to forge a relationship.  I'm working on the next chapter tonight, I do hope you like it. Again, thank you for commenting.

Reviewer: Highd (Anonymous) · Date: August 09, 2010 10:07 PM · On: Chapter 2

Oh Gina. It took me a while to get to this and I am so happy I did. It's wonderful. The banter, the swagger, the tension. Such a great mix and wonderfully in character. I love that Shane is back I completely loved her in your other stories. I also love Emmett the Private Dick....

I can hardly want to read more of this. Today work is the enemy :)
