Great story!!!   I loved Justin as an artist, but not the usual out and about tryimg to sell his art, kind of artist.   He is an artist, who helps children, and based on his nature, would do it for free, if it only brought a smile to a child's face.     

Author's Response:

Hi, Sarah!  I'm very honored that you are reading so many of my stories, and enjoying them! Thank you so much for reading, and especially taking the time to commment.  I greatly appreciate that.  I don't know if you're read "Remember Me," but if not may I suggest that one?  It's a real rollercoaster ride, though, but I think you'll like it when it comes to an end. It was probably one of the most poignant ones I have written. Thanks again for all the encouragement!  ~Kim

Those two guys are so cute together I swear and I love how Brian is showing him he cares about him. That evil doctor better not mess it up for Justin or hell have a very angry pissed off Kinney at his door. Brilliant chapter

Wow were that was hot and so beautiful, yup yet again in another story you made me cry happy tears. 

 

I wish Justin could go work for Brian and volunteer to help the kids at the hospital as well so he gets the best of both worlds. 

 

I zm zm truly loving this story so much.

God on you Justin for doing thst for Brian and I think a certain brown haired guy has a crush on you to. I wish Mel would stop talking to Brian like that I do wanna birch slap her. She better not stop a Brian taking Gus on trips or to the ball game. 

Reviewer: vic32 (Signed) · Date: November 01, 2016 11:02 PM · On: A Peek Of Light Begins to Shine

Justin has such a heart of gold and doing that for Brian is more thoughtful then he even realises. I remember watching my parents sit by my bedside for weeks and sometimes months on end when I was in hospital all through my childhood and slept on fold out beds. It's not easy for anyone and you honestly showed this so perfect. Brian's emotions are spot on as are the girls. I hope it brings them closer and not drive them apart. I do hoof a Brian gets to take Gus to that game and get those autographs and create many more memories.

 

you are doing a beautiful job with this, thank you for writing it 💕💞💕

Reviewer: vic32 (Signed) · Date: November 01, 2016 03:40 PM · On: Life and Death Struggle

This chapter so got to my heart, my heart is breaking for Brian. Justin is so kind and caring it's so lovely to see. Those girls when thry arrive better not blame him if push him aside or I'll jump into the story and tell them off. Another amazing story from you 💕

oh my gosh, I am in love with this story, I was blushing all shades of red during the little scene between brian and justin, really enjoying this and I hope you write more. Thanks :)

Author's Response:

Hi, Adrita!  Thank you so much for reading and for that wonderful feedback!  I'm thrilled that you're enjoying this story; it was one of my favorites to write, and I adore writing stories about Gus with his dad.:)  I do hope you enjoy the rest of it if you haven't finished it yet.  If you liked this one, you may perhaps enjoy "Stirring Up Trouble" if you haven't read that one.  It has some similar elements to it.  I've written over 60 stories (three are unfinished, but I'm working on them), and if you like Gus, he is featured in a lot of them, including "Paper Hearts Killer," and all the "Tricky the Dog Stories" (The first one is "Bless the Beasts and the Children.")

Thank you again for reading and especially taking the time to review!  I really appreciate that.:)  *Hugs*  ~Kim

Reviewer: NONIE (Anonymous) · Date: June 03, 2012 03:53 AM · On: Lay My Heart Open - Story Conclusion

This story is the best. Doing a hospital scenario is precious as is this story.  I shed a few, well more than a few tears reading this one.  You certainly have a way with the english language.  Lindc said to read this one next as she knew I would love it.  Florence and Leroy were wonderful fun.  This one was a little more light-hearted after Paper Hearts.  They are both great although in different ways.  We deal with a lot of young patients here. I'm taking your advice and going to Stirring up trouble now. by 4 now.

Author's Response:

Hi, my friend!  I'm so glad you enjoyed this one.:)  I'm not surprised that lindc suggested it because she and the 'peeps' really seemed to like this one when I wrote it.  I'm so delighted that you did, too.:)  I do hope you like "Stirring Up Trouble."  There's some angst in that one but it''s mostly a fun read.  And I did like the 'Leroy and Florence' part in this story, too.:)

Thank you once more for all the wonderful comments, Nonie!  It will be so fun to read what you think of my stories once lindc and Brian are there with you.:)  I certainly wish them and Lee the very best and a smooth transition.  I'm sure your support will be very instrumental in that.:)  Thanks again.  *Hugs*  ~Kim

HI Kim, I finished reading the paper hearts killer, now i m starting with this one, i hope u can update the parents trap asap, as that is the most favorite one for me. Cheers, June:)

Author's Response:

Hi, June!  I'm so sorry that I didn't respond earlier to this; for some reason I am NOT getting notifications when I receive a review now, so I have to manually check for them.:(  Thank you for letting me know you're reading this one; it was one of my favorites to write, so I do hope you enjoy it.

I am working on the update to "Parent Trap" right now - having been in the hospital for five days recently, it really put me behind.  But I'm doing much better and my 'enforced' rest period at least should give me some more time to write.  I'm glad you're enjoying that story.  Poor Justin won't go down without a fight, but I think we all know where that will lead eventually (wink, wink).  Thanks again for all your support, June; I never want a reader to think I'm taking their support for granted.  *Hugs*  ~Kim

I've really enjoyed this story so far! That homophobic surgeon pissed me off... unfortunately, there are many assholes like that in the world. If it had been a man and a woman, the guy probably wouldn't have reported it; or at least, he wouldn't have demanded the employee be fired.

I just had to comment about this chapter. Sigh... just as it looks like our boys are about to get it on... ANGST! It can never be easy with these two, right? ;) Drama and pleasure always go hand in hand.

Reviewer: Jo-Ellen (Anonymous) · Date: December 04, 2011 04:38 AM · On: Lay My Heart Open - Story Conclusion

I must say this is a wonderful story.  I had to keep reading to learn the result.  Would it be we could have a Justin at this hospital.  As I work with children from 2-10, we certainly could use someone like him with his artistry,  Many children vent their problems into their artwork and it's up to us to try to comprehend and try to help and resolve if possible.  Your writing is quite marvelous I must say.  Your description is on point and keeps your readers very interested in whats to come next.  I must rest my eyes for awhile and go to housework ugh!!  I was asked to read the Christmas stories you have written next.  I guess my mentor has been correct so far ha!! As the boys say later!  I think we must have some things common??

Author's Response:

Hi, Jo-Ellen!  So great to hear from you again, and so soon - ha!  I'm delighted.:)  Thanks for leaving the feedback for this story.  I think this position would be a great one for any hospital.  As you said, a lot of times children can express what they're feeling in drawing and writing it down better than expressing themselves verbally.  I hope you enjoy the Christmas stories.  "A Kinney Christmas" is the newer of the two and longer.  I actually have another Christmas story on another site that I have never posted over here.  It's the only story that isn't over here now, so if I get the chance I may try to post it before Christmas.  I'm also working on a new Christmas story (hopefully!).  I only have a chapter of it written so far, though.

BTW - if you're looking for a recommendation (if I may be so bold), may I suggest "Stirring Up Trouble?"  It's not very angsty unlike a lot of my other stories and it was one of my favorites to write.  Justin is a cake designer in that one and he and Emmett are business partners.  I always loved Emmett!  Of course, it's also a Brian/Justin love story and prominently features Gus.  I hope you a chance to read that one, too.  And I also like my humorous stories such as "Roughing It" where they go camping (I mean, Brian and camping?  Of course it would have to be funny - ha!).  Again, thanks so much for your kind words!:)~Kimberly

Well, better late that never... right?? Once again, I am speechless. Fabulous ending to a story I have thoroughly enjoyed - start to finish. This was filled with drama, the sexy hotness only these two can fully elicit... and such love. I for one, and I know there are so many other's will miss this one tremendously. Kudos on another outstanding work to add to your completed collection. *Sigh* How I wish, I could add a couple of mine into that category. Haha. Soon, I hope... but, it's not quite there yet. Lol.

Okay, break time is over. Back I go to see what kind of mischief 'skater boy' can find... or be saved from. Ha. Again, thank you for this wonderful story. It is one to  be long remembered.

Author's Response:

Hello, my dear, what a wonderful surprise to see your comments, especially considering how full your own schedule is right now!  I am trying fervently NOT to start a new one presently so I can complete my other WIPs a bit faster.  You know how hard that is, though, but I'm really trying to resist the pull!  I'm about done with the next chapter of "My Heart's Desire," although that one for some reason is proving hard to write this time.  So glad you're working on "skater boy," because that one is one of my favorites right now.:)  So great to hear from you, my friend.  Try not to work yourself up into a writing frenzy - ha!  Take care and hope you get a little rest before the weekend's over.:)

Author's Response:

Aw...thanks so much, my friend!  That means a lot to me.:)  I can certainly understand the responsibilties of RL - in fact, it's about to intrude on mine shortly when I go back to my teaching job soon; that's partly why I'm not opening up a new story just yet so hopefully I can keep updating my WIPs on a regular basis - I am very anal about making sure I do that.  Thanks so much for letting me know you enjoyed this story - I appreciate that so much, as well as all the reviews you leave for me.  Thank you - *Hugs* to you.:)~~Kimberly

Thank you, my friend, for reading that humongous chapter (ha!) and for the kind words; I appreciate ALL my readers, but especially those that take the added step to leave me their thoughts as you are so wonderful at doing.  I see probably one more chapter as an epilogue before I put this one to rest.  Thanks for your loyalty!:)

Good ridance for this Swanson character, hopefully though he is gonna cause some trouble for our boys - just thinking out loud here.

I really like this AU Brian though, I hope he continues to grow up and admit his feelings both to himself and to Justin.

As for Justin, I hope he grows up too, and built his self-esteem a little.

Cant wait for the update sweetie. Hugs

Author's Response:

Hi, Dear - thanks so much for the comments - I was feeling a little lonely over here with this last update.:(  I will probably have one more chapter of this one - an epilogue - before I end it.  Not sure if I will create any more angst for the boys in regards to Swanson - I may put him in there somewhere.  But I think this story has pretty much run its course as much as I hate to say it.  BUT....that means I will have more time to update the other ones...!  Thanks so much for the feedback and for reading, Marla, I am very appreciative.:)  A big *hug* back to you, too.:)

I hope that Gus is gonna get better soon and that our boys meet outside the hospital for a change, but do not make it very ease on them, they cannot function without some angst in their lives LOL

Cant wait for the update.

Author's Response:

Hello, Marla - Yes, I agree; why can't that be a natural response for all of us? LOL!  It may take a chapter or two, but I am going to try and move the setting more away from the hospital and back into Brian's familiar arena of "expertise" where he is more in his element and can display his "talents" a little more - ha!  Thanks so much for reading and leaving me a review - I am so grateful for you taking the time to do that.:)

Author's Response:

Thanks for the review, Chris!  Glad you liked the chapter - I think the boys can only stand so much tension before they explode, but what a way to go!

This was a beautiful update. Though I have to admit that having Justin so, I don't know, submissive, I suppose, is not a regular occurence though with the modicums of impertinence you have applied to his character, the exchange between Brian and Justin are exactly what the doctor ordered for my state of mind right now.

I love Daphne, and her plan to get the men together, well, considering her schedule... I give her my applause.

Ooooh, please gag Mel and Lindz!!!

I will keep an eye out for the next update.

Lovely chapter. Gus finally out of the ICU, he's getting better. Now it's playtime for Leroy and Florence * grins *.

 

* hugs *

Author's Response:

Hi, Marny!  That's great about your husband and I'm so glad he wasn't affected by the horrible, tragic situation in Japan.:)  Yes, the game's about to begin and Gus will have a hand in helping them out.:)  After all, Justin has to keep an eye on the patient, doesn't he?  LOL!  *Hugs* back to you - glad to see you're able to catch up on your reading - I missed you!:)

Ahhhhh wonderful... first of all Gus being on the slow mend the greatest thing of all. How you are pacing his recovery is so realistic... although, I'm getting so very antsy for some alone time for the sparring adult boys! Haha. I mean a kiss even would be good. Poor Brian, I can sense the more Gus recovers, the more his daddy will be distracted with thoughts of a certain blond. Or should I say poor Justin... when Brian finally gets his hands on him - alone? Who am I kidding? We all know being in Justin's position is anything but pitiful - it is to be envied!!

Great update, my friend. Eagerly awaiting more of this one. Oh, and I got your 'hint, hint'. I'm working on skater boy as we speak. I just posted the final chapter of my BBM story - War & Peace style! Now, maybe I can get back on track! =)

Author's Response:

Hello, dear!  Always so great to hear your thoughts.:)  Yes, I had a feeling you were warming up to this story because of the direction it's taking.:)  And I definitely see Brian being able to come out more in his typical predator mode the more his son heals, so look out, Justin!  But Gus is going to also have a hand in playing matchmaker, too, unknowingly, which certainly can't hurt.  Right now I have to go work on the boys' honeymoon in "Hearts Desire."  So delighted you're working on "Skater Boy" - love the nickname - LOL!  Take care and keep those stories coming yourself, my friend.:)

Author's Response:

Congratulations on finally finding out the date!  I'm actually flying in - I live in Ohio and I'm meeting someone I've never met before who lives in Germany that I beta for - I am so looking forward to it!  I envy you, though - you will be there for opening night!!  How wonderful!  I will be staying at a B & B in the Pittsfield MA area from 7/7 until 7/14.  I so hope he comes out after the show for a meet and greet - I would die!  I plan on taking my laptop on the trip so I can continue writing - you will have to tell me how the play goes.  Glad, too, that you've found a new recuit for your reading group - LOL!  Thanks as always for the review.:)

This is a great story. It has taken me a while to get into it because i usually steer away from medical stories.  I read to escape from work in the medical field.

I love the shy Justin and slow getting to know each other phase.  The priorty was on Gus as where it should have been.

Author's Response:

Thank you for the review!  I can certainly see your point about not reading medical stories, so I'm glad you gave this one a shot.:)  It should be concentrating more on the two "big boys" now - LOL!  Thanks for reading this one.:)

Reviewer: debv3 (Signed) · Date: March 23, 2011 03:19 AM · On: Florence - Meet Leroy

Another great chapter. This is a cute story, I love Leroy I hope he and Flo have a nice long life together ;)

Author's Response:

Thanks, Deb!  Well, at least they'll never have to worry about being sick or having a leaky faucet - LOL!  Thanks for taking the time to review - stay tuned - things are about to heat up now that Gus is on the mend.:)

Reviewer: BluvsJ (Anonymous) · Date: March 22, 2011 11:34 PM · On: Florence - Meet Leroy

I am thrilled that Gus is finally awake..... and now that Daphne is going to play matchmaker.... I don't think "Florence" and "Leroy"  stand a chance.... lol.... I have to ask ...how do you juggle 3 or 4 WIP'S....at the same time... and do you ever sleep??? lol..... Thanks....    

Author's Response:

Hello, my friend!  Thank you for following along with my rather vivid imagination - ha!  To answer your question, I work full time as an adult-ed teacher and then spend my free time writing these manic meanderings of my brain in between lesson plan preparation.  I guess you could say I owe being able to juggle stories based on two things - I'm a speedy little typist (about 95 wpm on a good day) and I have no kids, husband or dogs that would impede my writing time - ha!  I literally spend hours writing these because I enjoy doing it so much - it's a nice diversion from real life to delve into these two characters that I dearly love.:)  As for sleep - what's that?  (I actually try to get to bed by 10:30 or so but I'm not the greatest sleeper....maybe because my head is constantly thinking up new ways to get these boys in trouble!).

But THANK YOU for taking the time to read and especially leave a review - I so enjoy writing these but if I thought others weren't enjoying reading them (or thought I was being a story hog, which I DO feel like sometimes), I would not publish them, so the encouragement I receive is the only reason why I keep doing this.  I hope others will continue to enjoy these for some time to come because I still have a lot of ideas floating around in my head.  I have one right now I can't wait to start but I have to finish at least one of these others first to avoid going crazy!  Thanks again to you and all the other reviewers/readers.:)

Reviewer: Megan Rose (Signed) · Date: March 22, 2011 10:42 AM · On: Florence - Meet Leroy

Glad Gus is on the mend! Poor little guy. Brian and Justin are so sweet in this chapter. Leroy made me laugh! I just wanted to let you know I'm devouring your stories, so you'll probably see lots of (pointless) reviews from me!

Author's Response:

Hi, Megan Rose!  Thanks for much for the review!  Now that Gus is on the mend, I can concentrate on the father getting some TLC, too!  And don't worry about the "pointless" reviews - NONE are pointless.  I LOVE reviews so bring them on!  Thanks again for reading - I greatly appreciate that.:)

When the spider known as Brian turns his eyes on the little fly Justin I think he will be spun in a web so tight he will not even know how he got there lol. Gus opening his eyes to the world the same as his father! xo Chris

Author's Response:

Thank you, Chris!  Yes, poort Justin doesn't know who - or what - he's playing with, does he?  LOL!  Thanks for the review.:)

Reviewer: lindc (Anonymous) · Date: March 15, 2011 06:04 AM · On: Can't Get Him Out of My Mind

dave got tickets won't tell me when but got really good seats. i told him he has to tell me so i can get a couple days off.  he's a brat.  randy's aunt lives there somewhere in the area,  so he might be staying with her.  don't know.  you will have a blast if you haven't seen him on stage.  just try to remember he's not justin any more even if we would like him to be.  old memories die hard.  we'll have to trade stories after.  the who did a really good job, i am told, years ago with tommy the rock opera.  get ready for some fun. i saw gale in orpheus decending.  he was to die for.  so handsome.  he sang and played the guitar like he did on one episode of hellcats.  lol

Author's Response:

I am so looking forward to it!  Congrats on having an inside contact for the tickets - lucky girl!  I'll feel a lot better when I get the confirmation e-mail back verifying we have the seats they promised me.  It makes me nervous that they take the credit card info and just hold the tickets at "will call."  So far they haven't sent me anything, and one of the ladies going is flying in from GERMANY and needs to know for sure before she books her flight!  Keep your fingers crossed that they get back to me soon - the person taking my order was new and didn't sound real sure of what she was doing! Ack!  Let me know what day you're going - would love to meet another obsessed fan - LOL!

Reviewer: BluvsJ (Anonymous) · Date: March 14, 2011 08:56 PM · On: Can't Get Him Out of My Mind

OMG..... "don't you want to know my measurements?"......lol... Poor Justin... I thought he would pass out!!!!..... I am sooo glad Gus is doing so much better and will be moved to a private room soon...

Author's Response:

Ha - I liked that line, too - LOL!  Thanks for letting me know you're reading this and for leaving your thoughts.  I see Justin helping out with Gus' morale while he's in the hospital.  Of course, he may just run into the father, too.......(wink, wink...!).:)

I had to read this before going to bed. Very lovely chapter, thanks.

Thanks, Marny - glad you enjoyed it.:)  Have a good night!:)  Hugs to you, too.:)

Not sure how I initially missed this... but YAY!! So excited to see the update... and Gus slowly beginning to turn the corner. I hate any little one being ill, and this adorable guy it's just all the more heartbreaking. Wonderful chapter, my friend. One wouldn't know that you wasn't a medical expert in the field. Very well written and plotted out - as always! Of course, looking forward to Brian being... well Brian with his attentive orderly... but I have no doubt you will get us there. This could very well be on it's way to becoming my next 'favorite'. As you know I am a sucker for not only AU but stories that begin with them first meeting & getting to know each other, as opposed to the 5.13 timeline.

Looking forward to much more of this delightful story!! Ohhhh, and no scolding - I am working on the next chapter of my naughty vampire, just taking a little break! =)

Author's Response:

Hello, dear friend -   So wonderful as always to hear your thoughts.:)  I'm glad you're liking this story - yeah, I think it's time the girls take over so Brian can get some TLC that he so deserves, don't you? ha!  And I'm glad to hear you're hard at work on the sexy vampire - yay!  Take care.:)

Reviewer: Marny (Signed) · Date: March 06, 2011 12:40 AM · On: A Peek Of Light Begins to Shine

This is such a sweet story. Glad to see Gus awake.

* hugs *

Author's Response:

Thanks, Marny - Glad you're enjoying this one.:)  I'm hoping now that Gus is getting better we can start concentrating a little more on the "big boys" now - ha!:)  Thanks for taking the time to review and *hugs* to you, too.:)

Reviewer: lindc and the fearsome foursome (Anonymous) · Date: March 05, 2011 09:46 AM · On: A Peek Of Light Begins to Shine

we love all your stories--we took a vote this is the favorite i'm sure you understand why.  we are so waiting for the getting to know you stage with our boys.  lee wants to change his nickname to lovable lee.  waiting for more of your stories.  going on vacation.  i'll be reading elsewhere--so brooding will be reading to the threesome while i'm away. lol

Author's Response:

So great to hear from the hospital fan club.:)  Hope you have a great vacation!  I'll try to make it entertaining for both you and the remaining three members of the club while you're away. Tell Brooding Brian he's got big shoes to fill while you're gone - LOL!  I'm hurrying Gus' recuperation along as fast as I can but I need to set the boys up just a bit more before the real fun begins - stay tuned and have a safe trip.:)

I hate Mel, poor Gus, Justin is so sweet.  This fic really captures your heart. 

Author's Response:

Thank you for the kind words.:)  This one will be a little different - Brian's main focus will actually  be on his son until he is recuperating - then I plan on getting Justin involved in providing a little TLC to both son and father - LOL!  Thanks for taking the time to leave a review, my friend - I greatly appeciate it.:)

Reviewer: LibertySun (Signed) · Date: February 25, 2011 11:51 PM · On: The Mothers Arrive

Hey Sweetheart! I've finally gotten a chance to read this and I'm so happy I did. It's already drawn me in, and has left me anxious for the emotional journey to come. I find it refreshing to read a story where sexual attraction is not first on the list of what's drawing our boys together. Unfortunatley, it's not a happy incident, but that makes it an even better read. They're starting deeper, Justin is going to see Brian's vulnerabilities first. This is a very interesting dynamic. Beautifully written as always. *hugs*

Author's Response:

Hello, Mandi, my talented friend!:)  Thanks for the review.  So glad you had a chance to check it out.  Yeah, I guess this is a departure for Brian - thinking with his heart about his son first.  But I have to get that little guy all better soon so Brian can get some TLC of his own - LOL!  Always a delight to hear from you - BTW - like the banner/photo you have on your profile page - you're so creative, my friend.:)  Thanks again.

Reviewer: lindc (Anonymous) · Date: February 25, 2011 07:34 PM · On: The Mothers Arrive

sorry. i forgot lee.  shame on me.  i asked what would be a good nickname for him as he's just been lee to us.  he thought sexy lee would be good.  haha!! you don't know what i have to put up with dealing with all these guys. lol  but it's fun!!!

Author's Response:

Well, at least I know now.  It's funny his name would be Lee (along with the "sexy" part), because I used to have the biggest crush on Bruce Boxleitner who played Lee Stetson on "Scarecrow and Mrs. King" with Kate Jackson (I know - I'm aging myself, aren't I? LOL!).  But I thought he was one sexy-looking fella and he's actually aged pretty well.  Tell Lee we'll have to come up with a catchy little name for him.  I guess "Loco Lee" wouldn't work, would it? - ha!).  Stay tuned for more drama - I think I see a chapter of "I Don't" coming up shortly.....!  I've got to get that darn story done so I can move onto the "Wedding Present" sequel - I have a honeymoon and gubernatorial campaign to plan - ha!  Thanks again for all the support.....:)

Reviewer: bksbracelet (Signed) · Date: February 25, 2011 04:43 PM · On: The Mothers Arrive

Nice to see that Mel had the grace to realise Brian's intentions and reactions were correct I liked that she acknowledged it. I hope Brian and Justin interact more soon and of course Gus needs to get well.

Author's Response:

Hi, Chris - (sigh)....yes, I know - I'm eager to move onto that part, too.  But I have to set the story up first and build upon it.  There were will be some more interaction in the next chapter and a lot more to come once our little patient begins to recover so stay tuned!  Thanks as always for the review, my friend - I really appreciate that.:)

Reviewer: Marny (Signed) · Date: February 25, 2011 02:45 PM · On: The Mothers Arrive

Wow Mel thanking Brian, thanks Mel for doing that. This is such a lovely story.

* hugs *

Author's Response:

Hi, Marny - you're such a loyal reviewer - I'm so appreciative of that.  We have to plod through the medical storyline for a little while so I can build up the boys' relationship.  So glad you're reading this - thanks for leaving me the review.:)  *Hugs* to you, too.:)
