Midnight Whispers
QAF Brian and Justin Fanfiction
Reviewer: Kym (Anonymous) · Date: September 13, 2012 07:06 PM · On: Heart to Heart

I really like the way your writing has changed to keep up or should I say back with the times.  Things were different then and your  writing is very in tune with what was happening then.  People on farms did what was necessary to make ends meet.  Sulky racing was and still can be very dangerous, so I wonder if Justin for some unexplicable reason won't be racing but Brian will.  Don't know-thought came to me when he admitted how much he likes speed.  My mind wanders around while reading this story as I love it so much.  Still waiting for the roll in the hay tho-Ha!!



Author's Response:

Ha!  Don't worry - we'll get some sort of 'roll in the hay' there somewhere - you can count on it.:)  And you might be (sort of) on the right track with Brian, but in a slightly different twist.   I am enjoying writing about them in this setting and at a different age, though.  I have some more ideas coming up that would not work in the Pitts, so I'm having fun with this one.:)  Thank you for reading and for the comments, Kym; I'll get this updated again very soon.:)  *Hugs*  ~Kim

Aaaggrrr Brian you idiot ! You don't lay down for a running horse * shakes head * and throwing berries ... woww that's mature ... and what if Headstrong startled and runs off, throwing Justin on the ground. Brian Brian Brian * sigh *. No wonder Justin is more than angry.

 

But the ending of the chapter is very very nice, I like THAT Brian.

 

Great chapter Kim, thanks.

 

* hugs *

 

 



Author's Response:

Hi, Marny!  Well, Brian is a little younger here, so probably less mature, too; although, you could make a case that he's not exactly mature when he gets older, either - ha!  Thanks as always for reading and taking the time to comment.  Now I really do have to move over to "Heart's Desire" and "Dog Days" to work on those before everyone abandons me!  *Hugs*  ~Kim

I was ready to med fight Brian off to the nearest hospital to have his legs repaired. I know what a buggy can do, and it aint pretty! City kids, you just can't let them loose in the country. Oh and lets not even think of his shirtless and wearing gloves to pick blackberries. I guess by now his arms and body are a bloody mess from all the scratches. But his fingers will be scar free for handfeeding the sweet berries into Justin eager mouth when they have their late night meeting over the hog pen. I don't think I'm too much in love with Headstrong, he seems a bit too skittery and high strung to make a good pet horse. I think he's the type to bolt at a falling leaf. I don't picture him running up to you in the field for a carrot and nipping at your back pocket while you clean his stall. I think he's just a race horse, all juiced up on grain, his eye on the finish line. Oh well Justin won't miss him when he leaves for Art School. Maybe Vic can sell him for a good price or if he's not gelded maybe stud him out and make a little money that way.

I was thrilled to see the soft romantic side of Brian coming out. I think if he keeps this up he just might get a little more kissy face with Justin. I think Brian should consider keeping a Tide Stain Stick in his pocket for any little accidents that might pop up, I think if he's prepared for any tragic event it might easy Justin mind and make it more relaxing and that might lead to more friendly behavior. Wonderful chapter, I loved it and so wish it was black berry season so I could enjoy some juicy berries.

Author's Response:

Thanks for the comments, Lori!  I don't know if a Tide-To-Go Pen will work for the type of stains that Brian would need it for - ha!  I think with Brian's relatively young age, though, we can maybe expect him to not be so mature yet. Then again, was he ever 'mature?'  LOL!  Sigh.... as much as I would like to dwell in the Bluegrass of Kentucky, I really do need to move over to my much-neglected "Heart's Desire" and "Dog Days" for a while.  Thanks for being so encouraging to me by leaving comments; I really appreciate that.  *Hugs*  ~Kim

It's about time Justin acknowledged the truth about why he's pushed so hard. Brian definitely put things in prospective even if it was hard to hear.

Can't wait to see what happens at the town social JP

Author's Response:

Hi, Tamara!  Thanks first of all for being so supportive of my stories; I am very grateful for that.:)  I think there will have to be a lot of changes coming up for not only Justin and his family, but also the Walkers (and Brian).  And will Brian be able to wait until tomorrow night before he has another visit with his beautiful, blond neighbor? And what does corn liquor have to do with all this??  Hmmm....:)

Thanks again for reading and for the comments, my friend.  I'll get this updated soon - and I'm looking forward to your own updates, BTW.:)  *Hugs* ~Kim

Reviewer: NoChaser (Signed) · Date: September 13, 2012 11:29 AM · On: Heart to Heart

What a sad state of affairs that a parent can't see the burden he (and she) is placing on the child. On one child. Yet the other is pampered. Cinderella anyone? But it happens so frequently. Justin is the golden goose and isn't even allowed time to enjoy the feathers he was born to fly with!

Great chapter, getting into the meat and bones of who these boys are.

Thanks for the update and eagerly looking foward to more.

Roni



Author's Response:

Hi, Roni!  Loved the comment about the 'golden goose' - how astute and written like the true, gifted writer that you are.:)  I'm so honored that you're enjoying this story.  I will get it updated again soon, but I really have to go back to "Heart's Desire" and work on that for a while before everyone forgets about it!  Thanks so much for all the comments; I am very grateful for that.  *Hugs*  ~Kim

Reviewer: Megan Rose (Signed) · Date: September 12, 2012 12:01 PM · On: Painful Memories

Hey sweetie! Loved this chapter! I had a feeling Dale had died in an accident. Love the moments between Brian and his aunt. He so needs that mother figure in his life, because we all know how useless Joan was. Looking forward to more with the boys possibly bonding over Justin's training.



Author's Response:

Hi, Megan!  I'm so happy that you're enjoying this story.:)  I'm almost ready to post the next part, but I'm not quite there yet.  There's going to be a lot occuring here between Justin and Brian's growing relationship and Brian's impact in his aunt and uncle's lives.  In addition, Justin's own family dynamics will be changing as well.  Thanks so much for reading and reviewing - and for being so supportive of my stories.  *Hugs*  ~Kim

Reviewer: Tagsit (Anonymous) · Date: September 12, 2012 07:33 AM · On: Painful Memories

Like the build up and all the foreshadowing. Do I detect a hint of a possible track accident involving Justin with Brian rushing to the rescue. Please say yes! It could be so romantic. But, probably too obvious. Can't wait for the next chapter with the promised B/J action - need more smut! Please. In the hay. Or on the barn. Or back at the lake. Or anywhere. (LOL) Thanks. TAG



Author's Response:

Thank you for the comments, Tag; I'm surprised you've even got time to read lately - ha!  You sure can crank them out....sigh; if only I had that much time...! 

This one will definitely have B and J in the next chapter featured prominently.  You are correct about the build-up, though; I see them taking a while to work through their friendship before they consummate their attraction to each other, but of course, I have to have a few kisses and other flirtations throw into the mix in the meantime for good measure.:)  So alas, no smut just yet.  But it's definitely coming.  I hope you nd the other readers will bear with me while I flesh out more of the storyline.  I can do PWP like the rest of them, but this one obviously will be more complex than that.  Thanks again for taking the time to read and review.  ~Kim

Hello my friend, I barely have time to take a breath these days, but I wanted to stop in to let you know I am still enjoying this story immensely. This is my favorite of yours right now. And, I eagerly await the next set of sparks to fly between our favorite boys. I understand chapters with no interaction between our boys. I have had to write a few of those myself... but, I never like doing it.

Thank you for your updates. I know with being back at school it's not easy. My work schedule does the same for me. The update always makes the wait worthwhile. *Hugsss*



Author's Response:

Thank you, my friend, for reading and for the comments.  Yes, it's even slower than I thought it would be; I guess that comes from having to grade eighteen sets of papers on my own!  Back in 2006 I was actually a student in the same class, and we had the same number of students but TWO teachers... I guess that's a sign of the times, though, and I feel fortunate just to HAVE a good job, and one that allows me time off to do 'important' things like go see Randy and go to conventions - ha! 

Thank you for taking the time to leave me feedback; coming from one of my favorite writers, that's a big honor to me.:)  *Hugs* back  ~Kim

Hi, just caught up with this...i'm really enjoying the story, can't wait for what's in store for my fav boys :)



Author's Response:

Hi, Kimi!   So delighted to hear that you're still following my story and enjoying it; I always love to hear your thoughts.:)  I will get the boys back together in the next chapter - I'm *this* close to posting it now, but I'm not quite where I want it to be.  Let's just say that Brian will be using whatever means he has available out in the country to get Justin's attention in a unique way.:) 

Thank you so much for reading and taking the time to review, Kimi; I am very honored and grateful by that.  I will get the next part posted very soon, and then I think I really do have to go back to poor Tricky in "Dog Days of Summer!" *Hugs*  ~Kim

Reviewer: no sleep (Signed) · Date: September 11, 2012 08:29 PM · On: Painful Memories

I wish I could convey how much I'm enjoying this story. It is quiet and unassuming yet interesting enough to keep the page turning. The country setting of this fic is far removed from most QAF stories and a delight. I don't have to have sexual tension and innuendo in a chapter to enjoy it. The rest of the story more than makes up for it. I love the charcters of Sarah and Will and the storyline is reminisent of classic farm or southern stories I read in my youth. 

It seems that Sarah wants her husband to heal over the death of their son and believes Brian is the key to that goal. I wonder why Will is so angry or unable to get past their son's death. I can't wait to hear the whole story behind it.

 I'm anxious for an update but would hate for this story to ever end.



Author's Response:

Hi, Sandra! This has to be one of the nicest reviews I think I've ever received; THANK YOU for those lovely comments!  Between the two being teenagers closer in age and the rural/country setting, it IS quite different from my other stories and most other ones that are normally posted.  My family on both sides came from Kentucky, so this is near and dear to me.  I remember how different the tempo was whenever we visited our grandmother's farm - you HAD to relax - you had no choice!  Of course, Justin doesn't quite have that luxury here, because so much is on his shoulders.  But he will find himself confiding more and more in Brian, and the two will continue to deepen their friendship before they go to the next level, although it will be obvioius that they are strongly attracted to each other. 

I have over 8,000 words of the next chapter written, so it promises to be another long one!  Dale's death will be discussed in greater detail between B & J (after Brian has to resort to some unusual tactics to get Justin away from his training - ha!).

Thank you again for reading, Sandra, and for taking the time to leave me feedback; your comments really lifted my spirits today!  I'll get the next part of this posted very soon.  And thank you, also for being so supportive of my stories on an ongoing basis - that is the main motivation for me to keep writing and it is greatly appreciated.  *Hugs*  ~Kim

Forget it, "Thomas"....loving story line. (but usually feel like that with all your work!). Thanks....follow up soon, PLEASE~!~

Author's Response:

Aww...thank you!  Your words make me very happy.:)  You are kind to take the time to not only read this latest chapter, but to give me encouragement.  Your comment made my day!   

 

I have about 8,000 words already written for the next part, and the boys are featured prominently in that one, so I hope you will like it:)  It should be posted soon.  Thank you again for your kindness.:)  *Hugs*  ~Kim

Really enjoying your story.

 

Thanks



Author's Response:

Thank you so much for letting me know, Nirdayoga!  I am happy to hear that you're enjoying it.  This is my first teenage B and J story, and I'm having a lot of fun placing Brian in places that make him decidedly uncomfortable.:)  He certainly is NOT a country boy, but I think a certain blond is making it a lot more pleasant.:)  I have a lot of the next chapter written - it should be posted very soon.  Thank you again for reading and for taking the time to comment - I really appreciate that.  *Hugs*  ~Kim

Reviewer: Cheburashka2 (Signed) · Date: September 09, 2012 09:40 PM · On: Painful Memories

Hi, Kim!

"douting-Thomas'? Why are you doubting yourself? Your writing and your stories are wonderful. You have really great imagination and I alwasy enjoy reading all the wonderful adventures the boys get to experience through your ideas. Never doubt yoursef!

As for this chapter - it was pretty informative, though I do hope to learn a bit more about Dale's death. I wonder how Brian will help his aunt and uncle heal from the pain of their loss.

This country social is promising to be quite interesting and I hope B/J will get some quality time together.

Cheers,

Vin



Author's Response:

HI, my dear friend - thank you for the encouragement.  You know how I am - I get into this occasional 'pity party' funks and just need a little validation that my writing doesn't disappoint, so I thank you for the support!  You WILL learn more about Dale's death in the next chapter from Justin and the boys will be back to their give and take parrying as well.  I think you will enjoy Brian's tactics at getting Justin's attention in the next chapter, also.:)  They will actually see each other again before the social, and yes, Brian will be there in all his glorious self!  Thank you again for the kind words, Vin.:)  I'm so glad that we met and are friends.  I hope one day soon we can do it again!  After tackling the Big Apple, I don't feel so intimated by going there, so I would definitely do it again one day!  Maybe we can go see Randy in OHP or Wicked - or both!  Take care and talk to you soon.  *Hugs*  ~Kim

P.S.  We must think alike because I just sent you an email that I promised you.:)

Reviewer: Flossee (Signed) · Date: September 09, 2012 04:49 PM · On: Painful Memories

How can you have a 'doubting-Thomas' funks you have only written 10 chapters and already you have 132 reviews? Your one of the best authors here and you have 4 stories on the go at once, one can only inspire to be so talented. OMG the chicken thing took me back to when my mum made me catch the hens that had gotten into the neighbour’s yard. I hated them beforehand and I still hated them afterwards. I think it scarred my psyche for life. You know how much I like this fic and I can’t wait for the boy’s night out. Thank you for two chapters so close together what a treat.

Cheers

Author's Response:

Aww...thank you, Flossee, for all those kind words; that means so much to me.  I don't know - I go through this cycles from time to time, pathetic I know.:)  Thank you for the moral support; I really appreciate that.

It sounds like a lot of readers have had some 'not-so-pleasant' fowl experiences - ha!  I still live out in a rural-enough area that you can see chickens strutting around someone's yard as you drive by.  We don't have any here, but we DO have plenty of deer, fox, turkeys, skunks, coyotes, etc. 

I have most of the next part written - and the boys will be in that one a lot together!  Thanks again for letting me know you're enjoying the story and for the encouragement.  *Hugs*  ~Kim

Author's Response:

OMG, Marny, but no 'happy dance?'  (Just kidding!  After this I don't think you could top that one!). Thanks for the virtual hug and cheer.  I love the icon, BTW!  The boys' tug-of-war will be continuing in the next chapter - Brian pushes, Justin (half) struggles.  But at least Brian will get some more answers about how Dale died, though.  Thanks so much for all your support, Marny; I'll get the next part up soon, and then I really DO have to go right things with poor Tricky.  *Hugs*  ~Kim

Author's Response:

Thank you, Hannah!  I really appreciate you taking the time to let me know.  This is the first teenage B & J that I've written, but I'm really enjoying playing up some of Brian and Justin's insecurities that they would have at that age.  I'll get the next part up very soon; thank you again for the feedback!  *Hugs*  ~Kim

Hey hey! I feel like it has been forever since I got a chance to even read anything on here! I had a few moments tonight and read the chapters I missed on here. Don't doubt this story at all! I love it! I'm glad we finally learnt about Dale's death and I can't wait to see the next Brian and Justin scene! Keep up the great work my friend!

Author's Response:

Hi, Stephanie!  It's so great to hear from you!  How are you?  Hope everything is going well for you.:)  I'm so glad that you were able to catch up on this story and that you're still enjoying it:)

The boys will be displayed prominently in the next part, and Brian will persuade his little blond obsession to explain how Dale died; I think you'll be amused with how he goes about getting his attention this time.:)  Thank you for reading and for the encouragement, Stephanie; I appreciate that so much.  I'll get the next part posted very soon.:)  *Hugs*  ~Kim

 

 

Reviewer: 4depthoflove (Signed) · Date: September 09, 2012 08:54 AM · On: Painful Memories

hey Kim - now that you have me hooked, I get more and more drawn in with each chapter! ;)

I am so looking forward to watching how each relationship here changes and grows - Sarah and Brian...Will and Brian...Sarah and Wil...Brian and Justin...Justin and Craig...even Justin and Dale and what may have at least been a kinship based on mutual interest and indeed could have been even more (Sarah seemed to recognize something that would seem to be out of her sphere of knowledge...unless she had seen it in action once before perhaps?) - while their relationship obviously cannot grow, it can impact those around them and how they react to situations at hand

I just love multi-layer stories like this-giving us something in addition to simply the raw sexual energy that of course feeds our craving for B&J action - you know I can't wait until they get down to b'ness - yet sending us off at the end of each chapter with so much more 

chin up Kim - I'm loving this story and always anxiously look for the next update

Author's Response:

Hi, Charle!  I adore your thoughtful comments and am so grateful for your ongoing support, my friend.:)  I CAN do PWP at times (honest - ha!), but as you well know I tend to write on the more angsty side as well as long as I can get my favorite two guys together eventually.  Love the UST, too.:)  There will be a lot of interaction between Brian and Justin in the next part; I should be posting that very soon and then I just have to get back to poor Tricky and the political backstabbing in "Heart's Desire." 

Thank you again for indulging me in my 'pity party' and being so supportive.:)  *Hugs*  ~Kim

Reviewer: BigPaw (Signed) · Date: September 09, 2012 07:52 AM · On: Painful Memories

This was such a sweet chapter, I guess I'm going to let everyone live this time. I still think Uncle Will is skating on thin ice but grief is difficult to deal with. I was hoping for a more tragic end of life event for poor Dale, it sounds so accidental and unplanned. I love the whole chicken adventure. I wonder if Brian will eventually bond with the flock. I can so see him going out to sit a spell and watch them eat bugs. It would be very relaxing for Brian and I bet he would learn to enjoy the comfort of a nice hen sitting on his shoulder. I wonder if Sarah will save a few eggs and keep them ungunked up with that slime for deviled eggs. To me there is nothing better than a plain boiled egg, actually I even go a step further an only eat the white part, the yolk is just too yellow. I guess it goes without saying that I want the balck berries plain too, why make them all mushy and cooked they tasted best fresh picked, just knock off the bugs and any trace amounts of dirt.

I hope you know that I am enjoying this story, I can't wait for B&J to meet up again. Will it be at the town gathering? Ice Cream party, with only one spoon? I'm sure it will be homemade hand cranked and made with fresh cream.
Lori

Author's Response:

Well, Lori, I can tell you have some country blood in you.:)  Not everyone is comfortable with the phrase "sit a spell" unless you've been watching Beverly Hillbillies reruns on ME TV - ha!  Not sure if Brian is interested in becoming 'henpecked,' so I don't look for him to be picketing KFC anytime soon with a lament to spare his friends from being extra crispy. 

You will be glad to know that Brian will make good use of his blackberries in the next chapter (that's all I'm going to say - pfffft)....And there WILL be a town social, but will the boys meet up before then?  You will find out very soon, because I have most of the next part written already.  Thank you as always for the ingenious comments - I look forward to each and every one of them.  No one reviews like you, Lori!  *Hugs*  ~Kim

Oh, lord. When I think of he number of times I've done exactly the jobs you have Brian doing here... I actually learned to hate eggs. We had a very...possessive little Rhodie red hen who didn't take well to me trying to rob the 'ladies' of their eggs. I've sometimes imaged how many expletives could have been translated out of all that sqawking and clucking she tongue lashed me with.  LOL  Probably would have made Brian sound like a preacher by comparison.

This story brings back so many memories, Predec. Although I didn't grow up in the sulkie circle, I loved to watch the races at the county fair when we could afford to go. My father, uncles and grandfather were deep pit coal miners (channeling my inner Loretta Lynn, here) and anyone who owned something more elegant than a mule was considered wealthy!

Thanks for the memories. I'm loving the twist on my own history here.

Roni



Author's Response:

Hi, Roni - I'm very flattered that you're reading my story and enjoying it.:)  I'm having fun putting Brian in these totally uncomfortable positions and having him place his own unique spin on them.:)  My grandmother lived in Kentucky on an old farmhouse on 40 acres, so a lot of what's going on here I can certainly relate to; she had an outhouse for a long time, along with a train track practically out her front door.  Like you, it all brings back fond memories even now.

Thank you so much fo reading and for the comments, Roni; I really appreciate it.  *Hugs*  ~Kim

Now it's becoming more clear, Will is afraid Sarah is trying to replace Dale by having Brian around and he isn't too happy about it.

I think after awhile though, Brian will have both Justin and Will's hearts.

More soon please. JP

Author's Response:

Hi, Tamara!  Thank you for reading and for the feedback, my friend!  I do think that Brian is a lot like Dale was and that brings back some very sorrowful and painful memories for Will especially.  But I think you're right; I  also think that Brian will eventually bring back some of the good memories as well for both of them.  I'm very happy that you're enjoying this story!  I should have another part up very soon before I move onto my other WIPs.  Thank you for the support.:)  *Hugs*  ~Kim

Reviewer: lindc (Anonymous) · Date: September 09, 2012 04:26 AM · On: Painful Memories

Good god girl-we have missed you.  I know you have been working hard on this one.  It is very descriptive, as you know thoses are the ones I like the best.  I think aunt Sarah is a hoot.  The pitcher stall was precious.  I think Brian and she will get along very well.  He seems to be fitting in much better and losing his arrogance somewhat.  Went on Randy's site and heard an interview he did on Rainbow radio.  It was wonderful-it seems he misses T.V. and would like to get back on the big screen.  Wouldn't that be a great thing.  Y ou probably know all this already-just saying. The peeps are all doing well.  BB is single again--just too fussy.  Too set in his ways. HA!  Lee really good, has a new person of interest in his life.  He is still house sitting as Nonie is still away.  Things there aren't doing well.  She calls me often to keep me updated.  Just a matter of time now.  Hospital so busy-running ragged most of the time, but that's what we do.  lol



Author's Response:

Hi, lindc!  Always so wonderful to hear from you.:)  I'm glad to hear that things are going well, but sorry to hear about Nonie and her loved one.  At least she is there; I'm sure that is a great comfort to her.  It's so great to have all of you together again once more; I'm sure that you feel the same way.  And glad to hear the both Brian and Lee are doing well in their new digs and their new jobs.  You are all so special to me.:)

I did hear the interview Randy gave; I was shocked to hear about his mother!  How sad.  I think we all know now whose wedding ring he wears around his neck; very sweet and touching.  I had actually seen her at "Tommy" in July of 2011. I would be thrilled if Randy WOULD find another TV show - would love to see him on a regular basis.  I keep having these recurring fantasies that he's Rachel's new voice coach on Glee - ha!

As far as the story goes, I will definitely have more of B and J in the next part together; you won't believe how Brian gets his neighbor's attention!  Thank you once more for all your support, lindc.  It means so much to me.  Give Lee and Brian my best.:)  *Hugs*  ~Kim

Oh!  I have been waiting for this update.  Love all this back story-gets my juices flowing.  I thought, in my infinite wisdom, ha ha this had something to do with sulky racing as to how Dale died.  Sarah surley is on the ball-she and Brian make an evil twosome.  All the things you have incorporated-berry picking-collecting the eggs just takes me back to my wonderful childhood with my grandparents.  So much fun.  I really loved driving the horses when my gramps went haying.  This was before all the new machinery they have now.  They were not wealthy people money-wise, but wonderful hard working people.  I want to thank you so much for the story.  Will be waiting for the town social.  Maybe the boys will get together.  I think it's time.



Author's Response:

Hi, Kym!  Thank you very much for your lovely comments. I'm so glad to hear that you're enjoying this story.  All my relatives came from Kentucky, so I can relate as well, at least to a certain extent.  I'm delighted that it brings back good memories for you, too, and I'm having a lot of fun picturing Brian in so many unusual and unfamiliar settings.

The boys will definitely be together in the next chapter; I think you'll get a kick out of the methods that Brian uses to get Justin's attention.  They will actually be spending some time together before the social, and Emmett is about to make an appearance as well as Vic's nephew.  Thank you again for the feedback, Kym; I really do appreciate it.  I'll have the next part up again very soon.  *Hugs*  ~Kim

Sorry I'm late in reviewing, Kim! I liked your take on the Taylors. As much as I hate Craig, it was kind of refreshing to see him not being a complete douche. Jared is a spoiled brat! I'm glad Jennifer laid down the law with them both.

Hmmm...will Brian be assisting Justin in his training? A little horse-play perhaps? God, that was cheesy...

Thanks for your kind message about the LJ pencil! *hugs*

Hi, Megan!  Thank YOU for thinking of me and being so wonderful about always reading and reviewing; there are so many great authors and new stories on here now; I am very honored, therefore, that you have chosen to follow mine.:)  I liked the 'horseplay' comment, actually - ha!  And you will be happy to know that the boys WILL be meeting up again in the next chapter at the Taylors' horse track while Justin is practicing for his race coming up.  And you won't believe how Brian gets his attention this time!  As for training, you're kind of on the right track there (pardon the pun - LOL!), but you might be surprised who will be training whom....

Thank you again for being so supportive of my stories, Megan.:)  I'm working on the next part right now - hope to get it posted in the next day or so.  It's already up to 10,000 words, so it will be a nice, long one, too:)  *Hugs*  ~Kim

Mmmmm. Fantasies of Brian and Justin in the stables lying on a pile of horse blankets in the hay.  Please say that's where this is heading. Please! TAG



Author's Response:

Well, I do see some 'rolls in the hay' coming up, but I'm not sure it will be on horse blankets.  Yummy thought, though.  I have to build up to their own unique version of 'horse play' first, though (wink, wink).  Not to fear - we're heading in that direction eventually; hope I don't disappoint when the time arrives.  Thanks for reading and for the comments, Tag; I'm very appreciative.  I'm working on the next part right now - should have it up very soon.  *hugs*  ~Kim

Great chapter Kim.

Love how Jennifer stood up against Craig. Aggrrr Jared ... you lazy-bones !!

 

Want an update really fast, after reading the end notes.

 

Sorry for my short and not so funny reviews. Maybe I'm reading too much stories at ones. * rolls eyes *

That's okay, although I do miss the 'happy dance' I used to see; you have been a busy reader, haven't you?  But that's why I like you, because you are so good about reviewing:)  Thanks for the feedback; I'm working on the next part right now:)  *Hugs* ~Kim

Yay, I am so happy to see an update on this as it is my favourite fiction that you are writing and it gets me through the one that has me tearing my hair out. It doesn’t look like the men get together for the next few chapters but as long as they are obsessing over each other then all is well. I would like to see Justin thrown but Headstrong and Justin are only shaken not badly hurt and Brian runs to him and show a PDA for all to see especially Jared and Craig. Maybe it could just be a training mishap. Okay I think I’m the one that’s obsessing. Go Jennifer I hope she is strong enough to make sure Justin gets to the college he wants wherever that maybe. Craig OMG so cute, I love you too, this is so not the Craig we know in so many stories, and it’s a nice change. Thanks for the update.

Cheers

Author's Response:

Hi, my friend!  Thanks for all those thoughtful comments.  I'm actually flattered that you're coming up with story ideas for this; it shows me that you're very interested in the story, so I thank you for that.  Having Justin in a mishap is an idea, although I would probably be too afraid that it would sound too much like Kaylee's accident in my other story and I don't want to sound repetitious.  Let me just say that Brian will be engaging in certain ways coming up to get Justin's attention whether he wants to give it to him or not.  It will be a little hard to ignore him shortly (wink, wink).  And the you-know-what is about to hit the fan when Brian discovers something on the Walker farm and Will flies into a rage as a result (that is in the next chapter, as a matter of fact).  And I think I just might see Emmett coming for a visit.  (How's that for a big teaser?.

Thank you so much for reading and for the lovely feedback!  BTW - Not sure if one of MY stories is tearing your hair out or one of yours - ha!  Heaven knows I have felt that way about my own writing sometimes!!  Could it be "Parent Trap," though, by chance? I know even I'm getting anxious to smack some sense into both boys in THAT story!

Anyway, thanks again, Flossee; I really appreciate it.  *Hugs*  ~Kim

Now I'm worried about Brian and his drug problem, I think maybe Justin is going to be nothing but trouble for him. Oh sure those lips sounds nice but is it worth getting deep into drugs, that shit will mess you up! I think maybe if a well plotted farming accident or two happen and the evil farm men die the women can start a nice little co-op, Jen can get her honey operation going, I'll let Vic live, no far he's been OK he can handle the horses. Sarah will be baking wonderful things to sell in the honey pot bakery, and Brian will be the drawing card to lure the tourist in. He can walk around doing chores with his shirt off dripping in man sweat. Maybe Justin can live, of course he'll have to be sent away to art school, we can't have him bothering Brian, not at this fragile stage of his treatment/rehab. Now I just can't decided if a quaint family burial plot in the far corner of the farm would be nice or if a cremation and scattering of the ashes would be best. I'm leaning toward the burial, a nice old fence around it with some vines growing along the top rail. Craig's stone cracked and tipped over of course. Dale's old dog would love to walk up there in the late afternoon and dig around a bit and chase bunnies. Then when Headstrong dies, in a race- broken leg he'll be laid to rest near the family plot under a large oak tree....

I did enjoy this chapter, I'm so glad Jen is standing up for Justin and willing to kick Jared of the nest. It's time he grows up. I loved the stars and moon in Justin's room. Back when Tadhg had his own bedroom I added those on his ceiling so he could sleep under star light, well if he had ever slept in his own room at night. He really only used as a place to keep his toys. I guess not many dogs get their own bedroom.

Part 2 sounds very interesting, I'm already picturing the gruesome death details, I can't wait to see how close you get to my ideas. Does it have anything to do with a silo and a long rope, or a hay baler? Just food for thought.
Lori

Author's Response:

Oh, Lori, you always make me laugh out loud at your comments, which is a distinct testimonal to your creativity and wit   Although you forgot to mention that Dale's old dog would also need to go up to Craig's headstone and hike his leg to piss on it - I think that would be a fitting, fond tribute to his character, don't you?  I think a hay baler would be a little too gruesome for even Craig, though.   LOL!  Funny you would mention the 'man sweat,' because you DID hit that one on the mark a little.  You'll see coming up.  I think Brian's going to have to pull out every trick in the book to get Justin all hot and bothered over him (wink, wink).

So Tadhg had his own bedroom?  Lucky pooch!!  Me thinks that Mama might spoil him just a bit, but that's okay; I would do the same thing.  Glad you liked the stars and moon on the ceiling - it sounded like something our little blond daydreamer might engage in.  Thanks for all the unique comments, Lori - I still say you should be writing one of these - I can only imagine where that story would take us, though!  LOL!  *Hugs*  ~Kim

Oh, what a wonderful chapter! I am SO glad Jennifer finally stood up for Justin and made Craig see how unfair he was being. I hope that Craig will take this to hart and start treating both boys equally.

Can't wait for part 2!

Cheers,

Vin



Author's Response:

Hi, Vin!  Yes, I sound like a broken record a la "Parent Trap."  I have at least the same amount already written to post, but I'm not quite where I want it to be yet, so I'll be working on it a little more before I post it.  And I do see a certain change coming in Craig's attitude just a bit (although I don't think Jared is going to be happy with that; his 'unhappiness' may manifest itself in some not-so-pleasant ways coming up).    And I think Emmett's about to make an appearance!  I love that character! 

Anyway, thanks so much for the comments, dear friend, I really do appreciate that.  I hope you take a small writing break to relax a little bit from your own hectic writing schedule!  Take care and tell your mother I said hello.:)  Hope to see her again in the future at another show - or maybe the con next summer??  I'm keeping my fingers crossed for both!!  *Hugs*  ~Kim

Yeah!!  my story makes an appearance.  I have been waiting.  I'm glad she finally snapped and stood up for Justin.  Jared needs a head slap-so spoiled while Justin takes all the brunt.  Not fair, but that's the way some families are.  Good chapter.



Author's Response:

Hi, Kym! So glad to hear from you.  I'm working on the next part right now - have about 5,500 words of it written, but I'm not nearly where I want to be yet.  Brian's about to discover how Dale died, and I don't think his uncle will be too happy when it dredges up some painful memories, but it will be necessary to help him heal.  Not much B and J action in this part, but it's coming up in the next one.  Although I think a certain blond will still be resisting a certain 'stallion' and we're not talking about his race horse, either - ha!  Thanks so much for reading and for your comments, Kym; I appreciate that very much.  The next part will be posted before I move onto the next WIP.  *hugs*  ~Kim

Can't wait for the next chapter JP

Author's Response:

Thank you, Sweetheart, for reading and for the lovely comments!  I think it's time the events regarding Dale's death be divulged.  I will be posting the next part in the next few days - it's actually longer than this one already (why does that sound familiar?  LOL!).  Thanks again for the support!  *hugs* ~Kim

Hey girl! I see you had a wonderful time in the big apple.  Pictures amazing.  Looks like a very interesting place.  I never have been there.  I was channel surfing waiting for your new update of Heart's and found a little gem.  It seems Jlo is going to make a movie called Beard about a lesbian couple and our Peter Paige is co-writing on it.  You probably know this already, but I am thrilled for him.  I really liked Emmett in the show. lol



Author's Response:

Hi, lindc!  So great to hear from you!   I hope you and all the peeps are well.:)  Yes, I had a great time in NYC!  Saw the show THREE times!  That theater was, shall we say, unique - ha!  I should have my latest photo of "Randy lamb" uploaded to my author's page perhaps tonight (minus me - I HATE having my photo taken!).  I may even have a little extra put on there as well.:)  I am working right now on "Heart's Desire."  There's definitely going to be a confrontation between father and son in this chapter, then I need to update (and hopefully finish) Tricky's story.  I really want to get back down to only three to update.  Thanks for checking in with me!  Tell Nonie, Lee, and Brian I said hello and I hope the job hunt is going well for Lee.  Would love one day if you would PM me.  I have video of Randy Lamb I could share with you if you did (no sound yet, but I think it's coming...!).  *Hugs*  ~Kim

  "I am not going to be your little backup boy when things don't go the way that you wanted with Jared."

I've read this chapter twice. It has got to be the best one of this story, so far. I thought Brian and Jared were going to come to blows and was shocked when Jared backed down. Brian leaving with Jared's stash was a cool ending to that quarrel.

Justin wants Brian, badly, but I love how he won't compromise himself. Brian reminded me of the canon one after he found out about Ethan. And I believe Justin did compromise himself when he begged Brian to take him back. Your Justin in this story is the one I like to thnik of him as being. He knows hia feelings for Brian are deeper than just physical, but he wants more.

Love this story!!!



Author's Response:

Hello, my friend - thank you for reading this latest chapter and for those wonderful comments!  Feedback such as yours keeps me so motivated to keep writing, and it is greatly appreciated.:)  I am having a lot of fun writing these younger versions of the boys, and I do like the stronger Justin in this one, vulnerable but still maintaining some pride in holding off for what he wants.  Brian had better be careful; he may just wind up with some competition for our blond.:)  Thanks again for all the support you give my stories!  I really HAVE to update "My Heart's Desire" since it's been a while for that one, but I promise to get back to this one again very soon.  *Hugs*  ~Kim

Soory I am late with this review. I thought my new job would be a little less hectic---was I wrong.  Redoing files and reworking the computer files.  Very taxing.  Thought I was good at multi-tasking having second thoughts on that one.  All will be well when this beast is finished.  I loved timid Justin and this cute scene on the porch.  I guess they have to meet in the middle somewhere.  Brian needs to be a lot less agressive and Justin needs to step it up a tad.  I'm sure this is in the future for these two.  Jared is a snake in the grass.  Good chapter.



Author's Response:

Hi, Kym!  Sorry to hear that the job is so hectic right now; I hope it improves very soon for you. Sounds like you have a very responsible job from what I remember.:)  But I thank you for reading and for the comments; that is very thoughtful of you.:)  Hopefully I can serve to divert you a little bit with the woes of these two boys.:)  I think I agree with you - Brian will need to be a little patient, while Justin needs to be up front with him about what's going on.  But there's a pesky little thing called pride getting in the way.  I'll be getting this updated soon.  In the meantime, I have to go back to my sadly-neglected "Heart's Desire." Thanks again for taking the time to leave me feedback, Kym; I really appreciate that. *Hugs*  ~Kim

Well, now we have all that misinformation out of the way maybe they can proceed.  Well, Brian tried-but Justin isn't ooperating as of yet.  Guess it's going to take a little more determination on Brian's part.  This was a very good chapter.



Author's Response:

Hi, Kym! So great to hear from you again.:)  Yes, Brian was somewhat stymied this time, wasn't he?  But that will make it that much sweeter and hotter when he does get what - or whom - he wants eventually. I do want them to progress as friends first, though.  Something will happen in the next chapter where the background behind what happened to Dale will be revealed and Brian will see Justin out for some answers.  Thank you for reading and for the comments, Kym; I'll get this updated again very soon.  *Hugs*  ~Kim

Nice long one, my kind.  I won't bite you unless you want me too-ha! sounds a bit familiar  This is going to take a while for Brian to be less cocky and Justin to be more trusting.  Will be interesting to see how this twosome comes about.  Lee and Nonie say hi.  BB  is out on a date.SHHHHHH!!!!

great chapter - I love that Justin knows what happened...or didnt happen - and watching him struggle with yearning while holding true to being unwillinging to be not only Brian's second choice - but more importantly...to be just another means to an end - love it!

Justin needs to know that it is him that Brian wants - not just the most convenient way to get his needs met

and the stronger Justin is - the more Brian is denied what he is just starting to realize he wants...the more Brian will become aware that he wants something with this boy that he never even thought possible before - and he is the one who won't be able to resist...falling in love that is

can't wait to see the twists and turns you take us on before we get there though...you have me hooked!

Author's Response:

Hi, Charle - Thank you for your lovely comments, my friend!  I'm glad you're enjoying the progression of the story here, and I agree.  I meant all along for the two boys' relationship to grow slowly before they become lovers.  I want them to develop as friends first, despite their obvious, deep attraction to each other. There will be events coming up that will help bond them closer together, as well as provide Brian with more insight as to why his uncle is the way he is.  Along the way, Brian will have a profound influence on his uncle as well.  Thank you again for reading and for all your support, Sweetheart.:)  I do appreciate that so very much.  *Hugs*  ~Kim

Oh good, Brian is going to have to really do some work to get a little more of what he now is going to crave. I know it's too much to ask for a horrible accident to happen to Jared, heck I'd even be willing to let him be offered a job restoring wrecked old cars for some TV show far far far away. Anything to get him out of Justin's world. I'm also thinking it's time for Craig to get hit by one of the tragic farming accidents, you know they kind, the tractor roll over driver pinned, arm severed and blood loss leading to death before he's found...very common in farming communities. Then Vic can take over running the farm. Jen and her honey will become a small business sensation, Horse Apple Honey and sweep the nation. Oh, I do think Brian needs to stop smoking, much to dangerous around the horse barn and you know he's eventually going to end up making the hay fly there with Justin. I do not want to see a barn fire. Have Brian's parents been checking in on him and caring even a tiny bit on his well being? I don't know what I would do with out your stories to get so caught up in, they give me a reason to go on living. I hope your trip is fun and exciting with good food.- NO MUSHROOMS

Author's Response:

Aw, Lori, I'm not even sure where to being with a response to this - LOL!  You really should go into writing comedy - you are a HOOT!  So much packed into those comments.  You certainly come up with creative ideas on what to do with the villians in this story - ha!  I'm glad you agreed with me not letting Justin just cave in like some virginal schoolboy.  I do enjoy making Brian work for it just a bit - he did get a bit of a consolation prize, though, with the kiss.

Craig is certainly not portrayed as a sympathetic character here, is he?  And Jared isn't far behind.  There's still some hope, though, for Brian's uncle - I'm working on him.  But Brian is going to discover something in the next chapter that won't exactly endear himself to him, though. Sigh...he'll take a little more to get in the same camp as his nephew.  Anyway, thank you for all those comments - I think Bob should give you a blue ribbon for the creativity of your reviews!  *Hugs*  ~Kim

Hi, Flossee!  Thank you for reading the latest installment to this and for the comments!  I got a kick out of that vision of Brian, too.:)  SO unlike "Mr. Perfect."  But then again, he is definitely out of his element here, isn't he?  I'll be updating it very soon.  BTW - didn't even think about it being one of Jennifer's bees - LOL!  How appropriate is that?  Ha!  Thanks again!  *Hugs*  ~Kim

Okay, you got me. I have no business being here and reading this, but I could not resist. The image of Brian looking like Huckelbery Finn was hilarious and poor Justin mooning over a man he thinks he will never have was sad.

Wonderful story!



Author's Response:

Hi, my friend!  Of COURSE you should be over here reading; where else should you be?  LOL!  Actually I'm very flattered that you would choose to read this over doing some other things.  I'm so glad that you're enjoying this story. I'm having a lot of fun writing it, and we're just getting started.  Vic's about to show up in the next chapter, along with the big 'smackdown' between Brian and Jared.  Get ready to rumble - ha!  Thanks so much for reading and for the comments.  You're so good about reviewing so many stories - not just mine - and I for one really appreciate the extra time you take to do that.:)  *Hugs*  ~Kim

love Aunt Sarah - that's unconditional love - 'I don't get it - but it doesn't change how I feel about you' - yay!

and I love that Justin is so bold to not give in and be 2nd choice - but he is in for a surprise if he thinks he can resist Brian for long - or Brian resist him for that matter - we all know that these two will always find their way toward each other - and then it will just combust - BJ will always be hot 

totally hooked - as I would expect - and anxious for more!

Charle



Author's Response:

Hi, Charle!  Yes, I do like the dynamics between Brian and his aunt.  I think eventually his uncle will come around, also, but that will take some time.  I always like stories where Brian has to work a little hard to win Justin's heart and his affections, and this will certainly fit the bill in that regard; while Justin is quite smitten with Brian, he still won't literally roll over and let him do his will. I do see them bonding over the next several days, however, as events begin to unfold even more around the two farms.

Get ready for the smackdown coming up in the next chapter, though - ha! Brian, as you can guess, is NOT happy!  LOL!  I will post the update very shortly.  Thank you so much for reading and for the comments, Charle!  *Hugs* ~Kim

Reviewer: confused_bliss (Anonymous) · Date: July 29, 2012 05:57 AM · On: The Sting of Rejection

Another wonderful installment, my friend. Of course, it only made me want even more! Surprise there, right!? LOL. Aunt Sarah is exactly what Brian needs, and I can't wait for Brian to have his little chat with Jared. Of course, what I'm waiting for the most is more interaction between Brian and Justin. And, poor Justin is just so delusional, isn't he? As if he can remain impassive when Brian releases that Kinney charm. No one is immune, least of all Justin!

Thanks for the update, my dear. I can't wait for more! *Hugsss* Now, I guess I must force myself back to my own desk. I hear a vampire duo calling my name! LOL.



Author's Response:

Hi, dear friend.:)  Thank you as always for the lovely comments.:)  I can definitely tell you that the confrontation IS in the next part - I'm working on it right now and Brian is NOT happy - LOL!  I do want Brian to have to work for Justin's affections, but obviously as you said it will not be easy to resist that Kinney animal magnetism.:)  I'll be posting the next part very soon. Can't wait to read the conclusion to your story as well as all your other updates.:)  *Hugs*  ~Kim

I'm glad Brian is going to attempt an exchange of the clothes. I guess since they will be wearing something else already another shot at seeing each other naked probably isn't going to happen during the swap. I had a moment of terror when Brian felt the pain in is foot, I was afraid he had stepped on a tetanus encrusted old rake and he'd be near death by the time he crawled to the house.
Lori

Author's Response:

You really should try your hand at writing a story of your own, Lori; you are just TOO funny!!  An "encrusted old rake" - what a vivid imagination!  Just the image you provided is hysterical!  And no, I'm afraid by the time the great 'clothing drop' takes place, they will be in their own clothes again - sorry.  I WILL tell you that the showdown between Jared and Brian is definitely in the next chapter.  I'm beginning to think I should have you PM me with suggestions on how best to slap Jared into place - ha!  But why do I think it might involve great bodily harm to him?:)  Thanks for your comments as always and for reading - I'll get the next part up very shortly.  *Hugs* ~Kim

Reviewer: Kym (Anonymous) · Date: July 05, 2012 05:53 AM · On: In Too Deep

Sorry I just got to read!  Work is biting me in the butt.  Flu has hit, power outages and impatient people.  It tends to push one to the edge.  Anyway this story is making me feel a whole lot better.  When we were kids-my siblings and I-used to take each others clothes and hide them when we were swimming.  There was a small pond by my aunt's farm.  It was small but a lot of fun for us.  This takes me back a few years and made be very sentimental.  Thank you for that. Brian and Justin need to have a (serious) discussion on what he thought happened.  He needs to stop jumping to conclusions as he didn't even see the series of events. I guess it will be ironed out soon.  Really am enjoying this one so much.



Author's Response:

Hi, Kym!  Sorry that things sound so hectic where you're at right now; this heat is very oppressive, isn't it?  And it makes for short tempers I fear, too.  I can only imagine how hot it might be later this summer!  I'm glad you had a chance to read this, though, and that you enjoyed it.:)  It always makes me happy when I've struck a sentimental chord with someone.  My family originated in Kentucky and I still have a lot of relatives there.  I went to visit my grandmother often in southeastern Kentucky and can still remember having to use an outhouse until she got public water - ouch!  I loved to explore her farm, though, and look for arrowheads which were so abundant you could literally walk around and pick them up off the ground!  Amazing!  And I loved to hear the sound of the train whistle and the clacking on the tracks at night as it approached.  So I'm very happy that it brings back memories for you, too.:)

Yes, I see Brian having it out with Jared first and then his REAL challenge begins - convincing Justin of what actually happened.  I do see them as friends first, bonding over shared experiences before they move onto a deeper relationship.  Thank you again for reading and for the feedback, Kym.  Hope things settle down soon for you at work and the temps go down, along with the tempers!  I'll get this updated again very soon.  *Hugs*  ~Kim

Reviewer: 4depthoflove (Signed) · Date: July 04, 2012 08:46 AM · On: In Too Deep

oh - this chapter is just delightful! I love that we got to glimpse the first step in what I hope will be an eventual truce  - or more - between Brian and his uncle - saw the same uncle soften and show how much he loves his wife - and then this last scene - well - yes - it was definitely worth the wait - but then isn't it always?

can't wait for Jared to have his little talking to - I hope Brian really cuts him down a peg or two - and then I can't wait to see as Brian shows Justin that not everyone thinks Jared is the favored son... (which, BTW, I really don't understand since Justin's contribution to the family finances has probably been singularly keeping them afloat - you'd think the dad would see that too - but then it's Craig...)

anxious for more...but more than willing to wait...I still say delayed gratification makes the end result so very satisfying...like a thirst finally quenched after a long drought - nothing quite like it!

thanks my friend for this story - it's definitely got me anticipating waht comes next

Charle



Author's Response:

Hi, Charle! Thank you for the lovely review, my friend.  I'm very grateful and I'm happy that you're enjoying it.:)  Brian is very angry at the moment, and I think Jared will clearly understand that in the next chapter.  Now all Brian has to do is figure out how to make Justin believe him.  I do see him and Brian being friends first before they are lovers.  And I have a few more items to torment Brian with first - ha!  He and his uncle's relationship will continue to have a lot of ups and down, especially regarding the son.  I think it will be the next chapter where more details will emerge regarding how Dale died.

Who knew our boy was so mechanically minded.  I'm sure that's not all he is going to tinker with. Ha!  Skinny dipping-fun, except when your clothes are confiscated.  This second half was fun.  Justin needs to be told the truth of the barn happening.  Go Brian give him the facts man-just the facts.  I still think a romp in the hay would be delicious.  Rambling now-need sleep. lol



Author's Response:

Hi, lindc!  That's okay - I could understand you fine even in your half-lethargic state - LOL!  Yes, Justin is showing some unexpected chutzpah against his sexy neighbor, which I think will just captivate Brian even more.  Speaking of which, I see a quite heated discussion about to take place between him and Jared; he is NOT going to be happy with what the older brother had done.  I also see a deepening friendship first between the city boy and the country boy before they turn into lovers; I think that provides me with many more opportunities to torment Brian first - ha!  Hope you are out of the hospital and fully recovered now, my friend.:)  Take care and thanks again for all the support you give me!  *Hugs*  ~Kim

Author's Response:

Thank you, Tag!  May have to do some more 'skinny dipping' again later, because I enjoyed writing that episode.:)  I think I may have some other fun in mind for them (no, not that - at least not yet!).  I had an inspiration for an outing for them while I was the Dayton, OH airport of all places!  Saw it on a tee-shirt and thought to myself, "I have to include that in the story!"  Funny where I get my inspirations from - LOL!  Thanks for reading and for the comments.:)  *Hugs*  ~Kim

- A rototiller. A What? * giggles * Brian could see the thing, but I do not. Had to search for a pic of a rototiller.  Don't use difficult words!! * joking *

- "Uh...isn't that your old tractor?" Love the scene that follows. Brian and Will together in peace. And Will thanking Brian.

- And that last scene by and in the lake ... wonderful. * grins * Brian did deserve it. I expected something like that (Brian under water and having no clothes). Haha I know justin.

 

Great chapter, thanks kim.

Author's Response:

Thanks, Marny!  So glad you enjoyed it.:)  I AM having fun with Brian's lack of knowledge about farm life, and I'm sure I'm not done yet with tormenting the poor man.  But look at it this way - I know a beautiful little blond neighbor who will come in handy when he needs 'explanations.'  (wink, wink).  And yes, Brian and his uncle's relationship will continue to change over time to one where they are BOTH benefitting from it.  Thanks so much for reading and for the comments, my friend; I will get this updated again very soon.:)  *Hugs* ~Kim

Hi, Stephanie!  That did seem very Brian Kinney-ish, didn't it?  LOL! But I think Justin had the last laugh, though, and Brian will be the ridiculous-looking one in Justin's clothes.:)  Somehow I don't think he will walk home without a stitch of clothing on, though; we'll just have to see how he handles that little dilemma in the next chapter.:)  Thanks very much for the comments; I'm happy that you're enjoying the story.  *Hugs*  Kim

I do seem to act like a psycho killer in some of my reviews, I really am not a threat to society, the body count in my basement is very low. I just think the nasty people in the stories should suffer enough to make the story perfect for the good people. This was a very wonderful chapter, I have fond memories of a Farmall tractor from my younger days. The hot and humid weather right outside my door is making me wish I had a cool lake close enough to walk to. I'm very glad a snapping turtle didn't swim by and latch on to anything bobbing around. That would have ended the water play even sooner. Now I wonder how the boys will explain the mix up of clothes. Is it safe to say Brian will not be interested in Jared anymore? Oh, one last thing, I would love to get a sniff of Justin all sweaty and horsey. YUM.
Lori

Author's Response:

You are TOO funny, Lori! I can't remember if it was Tag who suggested it or not, but you really SHOULD think about writing a story, especially a humorous one.  I think it would be a hoot!  Glad to know that there's still more room down in the basement for additional recalcitrant characters that my vivid imagination may happen to stir up in the future.:)  And yes, it should be quite interesting how the clothes switch is handled. Something tells me that as pissed as Brian is, I think he will wait until he can re-obtain his dignity and slip into his own clothes again before he confronts Jared.  As for Justin, he might just march into his brother's room proudly and be quite happy to tell him where he got the clothes - or do I see an embellishment coming there, too?  Hmm....Let's just say that the next chapter should be quite revealing in more ways than one.:)

Giddy up, horsey is all I can say - ha!  And I'll make sure to keep all snapping turtles away from any bobbing submarines - up, periscope!  Thanks for reading and for the hysterical comments!  *Hugs*  ~Kim

OMG, this was an awesome update! The scene with Brian on the lake was hilarious. Serves him right to have Justin walk off in his clothes!

I loved so many details - the tractor, the interaction between Brian's aunt and uncle, the growing closeness (I hope) between Brian and his uncle. Your descriptions, again, are so vivid it's like I am right there on the farm.

A very well done chapter! I can't wait for the rest.

Cheers,

Author's Response:

Aww...thank you for those lovely words, Vin!  Yes, I'm glad to have Brian and his uncle slowly warming up to each other.  There will still be some bumps in the road - especially having to do with Will having to relive his son's death - but eventually I think both of them will come out better for knowing each other.  As for Justin, I see him and Brian starting out more as friends initially before something more explosive happens, but really - how long can Justin hold out?  Hee, hee...I'm going to enjoy finding out!  Thanks again, my dear.  *Hugs*  ~Kim

Reviewer: no sleep (Anonymous) · Date: July 03, 2012 07:48 AM · On: In Too Deep

"Uh...isn't that your old tractor?"

I love to see things are warming up between Will and Brian. The subtle way you have them finally relating to each other is heartwarming and beautifully done.

Now that pool scene was to die for. I thought for sure that Brian had Justin just where he wanted him but it's like reading a Brer Rabbit story or Roadrunner and the Coyote.  LOVED IT!

I can't wait to see what Brian is going to do with that epiphany he got at the end.

It is so refreshing to read a story like this. I'm amazed at how you come up with these stories. Please keep them coming. :)



Author's Response:

What a lovely review, my friend; you don't know how much that means to me! Thank you for your wonderful comments.  I LOVED the reference to Wily Coyote and the Roadrunner; that is such an apt description of the boys  here!  Beep, beep - LOL!  I adore the give and take that occurs with their relationship.  Their younger ages will make their reactions and responses perhaps a little different in this story, but their personalities would still be the same.  Now Brian is about to go on the warpath with Jared; anyone who lies about his reputation is open to attack, and Brian is not going to be happy with the lie that Jared has perpetuated on his younger brother.  And of course, Brian will have to find a way to make Justin believe that it wasn't true.

Thank you again for the feedback; I appreciate your support so much!  *Hugs*  ~Kim

That's funny that you write about the 'swimming hole', because I was just thinking of a similar story for a younger B/J pair. 

Brian is po'd at Jared, eh?  It's nice to see Brian realizing that Justin is the hotter of the two.  Good story.

- Jackie



Author's Response:

Hi, my friend!  Every time I hear "swimming hole," I actually think about the old "Andy Griffith Show," because in the lyrics to the theme song (probably most people don't even REALIZE there are lyrics, but there are), there is a mention of going down to the 'old swimming hole.'  I'd love to read your story's version of it; I'll be looking forward to it.  And yes, I think it's safe to say that Brian is NOT going to be happy that Jared told Justin a lie regarding their rendevous in the barn.  I think Jared has just struck out!  But even without the lie, I think Brian's attention is now diverted elsewhere.  Just how long will he and Justin have to parry, though, before the blond gives in?  Hmmm...I'm going to enjoy writing that part - LOL! Thanks for reading and for the comments, my friend.  *Hugs*  ~Kim

Reviewer: Cheburashka2 (Signed) · Date: July 03, 2012 06:59 AM · On: Sparring Match

What a great update, Kim! Poor Justin, I feel so bad for him. But I am sure that he'll come out the winner and Jared, the tormentor, will get his eventually!

I'm sure Jared loves his brother, but he certainly doesn't have to torture him this way. I can't wait for more B/J interaction.

Regarding the scene with Brian thinking about the country quiet - I so completely get that! I once spent a summer at my aunts in a tiny village back in Russia and being a city girl I felt the EXACT same thing! The whole thing about the "quiet being too loud" is spot on. Loved it.

Can't wait to read the next part. I'm so glad it's already posted.

Author's Response:

Hi, Vin!  So glad you had a chance to read this chapter; I think you'll particularly like the next installment (wink, wink).  Jared is about to get in some t-r-o-u-b-l-e soon...

 

Yes, it's amazing how 'loud' the 'quiet' can be, because everything is always amplified more out there without any city distractions.  So true.  I can remember lying in bed at my grandmother's house in Kentucky, hearing the train slowing coming down the tracks right out front.  It got louder and louder - I always was amazed by how it seemed to be the only thing I could hear, but boy, was it loud!  LOL! .  Thanks again for the wonderful comments, my friend.  *Hugs*  ~Kim

Author's Response:

Thank you, Megan; yes, it's starting to shape up nicely now.:)  I DO love to make Brian work for his prize, though.  And you're right - Jared's scheme will REALLY go 'to pot' now - Ha!  I think if there's anything worse for Brian than being rejected, it's being lied to, and especially regarding such a touchy subject.  I think he will straighten Jared out ASAP, and now all he has to do is get Justin to understand.  But his neighbor boy is going to be busy with the race coming up, and I don't see him just giving in just yet, even when he DOES discover the truth.  And...I just might see a rival for Justin's affections showing up soon, too.  I do love a jealous Brian (yum)....

Ahhhh this was wonderful, my friend. I think my most favorite chapter of this fun story so far. I had read your note that you would be posting another installment, so I forced myself to wait. Of course, being so busy helped in that decision too. LOL. I'm so glad I did, though. This was such fun. I love the progression of the story. Poor Brian. Life on the farm is just not his comfort zone... but, he's certainly making his mark here - or attempting to do so. LOL. The water antics were delightful. Brian is so sure of himself (as always), and Justin is so proud and strong, determined not to be second choice most especially to his own brother. That's good to see. Although, I think the playing field changed. I don't think he is Brian's second choice... I'm not sure he ever was; more of the less accessible one. I certainly wouldn't want to be Jared when Brian gets ahold of him. I doubt it will be in the way the aggravating older brother expects.

Okay, that's the longest review I've left in forever... but, this was such a fun and exciting chapter. I thoroughly enjoy this story. Undoubtedly, my favorite of yours currently. I can't wait to see what happens next. *Hugsss*



Author's Response:

Thank you, my friend; as always I know that you have my back (as I have yours).:)  I thought readers would definitely not mind the little extra wait if I could include the 'water dance' at the end - LOL!  We're definitely going to see a shift in dynamics now, but I still have a lot more to tell about the back story regarding the tragedy of Dale's death.  So glad you liked this chapter!  Thank you for the feedback; I will be eagerly waiting for your story updates.  *Hugs back*  ~Kim

Lookey what a gem I found!  I want some rolling in the hay scenes with your delicious descriptive prose.  That's what they do on farms right?  I don't know but it sounds a little decadent n'est pas?  Finally recovered from my stupid accident.  Lee called me to wish me well.  I miss his smiling face.  I may have to take a trip to Florida this fall to see him.  This job is good, the money is good-but it's not the same.  I miss all the peeps being together.  I am looking for a condo to buy or rent-need to be by myself, guess I'm just used to being on my own.  lol



Author's Response:

Hi, Dear Friend!  So great as always to hear from you.:)  And some French, too?  LOL!  I would LOVE a 'rolling in the hay' chapter if I can eventually come up with a plausible way of doing it.  In the meantime, how about a little water scene with both our boys?  (Don't want to spoil it by saying any more; you'll just have to wait.:))  It will be coming up in the next chapter, though.:)  I thought I would have it up tonight, but since I'm extending it somewhat (big surprise there, right? Ha!) it won't be until tomorrow now.  Hope it will be worth the wait, though.:)

I'm sure you do miss Lee and your other friends; I can certainly imagine why.  But hopefully as time goes on you will meet other friends and that will help make things better.  I'm sure that Lee, though, would love a visit from you and maybe even Brian, too, if he can swing it.  He sounds quite busy as well with his new job.  You know I wish all three of you the very best, lindc; you all deserve it so much. 

Good luck on your housing search.  Please keep in touch and thanks again for all your support.  I'll have this updated again tomrrow.:)  *Hugs* ~Kim

Thank you for the comments, Tag.  I just don't think my brian is 'wired to write short chapters (ack!), although I can every once in a while for one-fics, mainly.  I'm working on the next part right now, but it won't be ready probably until tomorrow - I'm (I hate to say it now!) extending it even more to write a certain lake scene into it which I think might appeal to all the B/J fans (wink, wink).  Thanks again for reading and for the feedback; I appreciate it.  And congrats on the wild success of your story - you just might get ANOTHER blue ribbon on this one, too!

Loving this story-you know me.  Hang  on Justin-just wait him out.:)



Author's Response:

Aww...thank you for reading and for the support, Kym!  You know how much that means to me.:)  And you're right - I'm going to make Brian work for that beautiful boy!:)  I know I said I was posting the next part tonight, but I think it's been pushed back now to tomorrow because I want to include a certain additional B/J scene in it that I think most readers will 'appreciate.' (wink, wink).  But Brian is still not going to get what he wants, at least not yet!  Thank you again for reading and for the feedback, Kym.  And thank you for being such an ongoing supporter of my stories!  I am very grateful as well as honored.:)  *Hugs*  ~Kim

Can't wait for the second part! Good work! I loved the argument between Jared and Justin!

Author's Response:

Thank you for reading this latest part and for your kind words, Stephanie! (I was feeling a little lonely over here - ha!).  I know this one probably wasn't as exciting to some readers because our boys are not directly interacting in it, but it's important I think to set up what will come in the near future.  (Why does the word 'come' always seem to creep into my comments?  LOL!).  I am working on the next part right now and should definitely have it up later today.  I CAN say that B and J will be interacting in this next part, albeit not quite yet in the way readers would like.  But I'm getting there.:)

Thank you again, Stephanie, for reading and for the feedback.  And thank you, BTW, for always being such a faithful supporter of my stories since I started on here - that means so much to me.:)  *Hugs*  ~Kim

Author's Response:

Hi, Kimi!  It's amazing to me how many readers on here (or at least the ones reading my stories) have some variation of my name, but I LOVE it - LOL!  THANK YOU very much for reading and for the lovely comments!  That is always so motivating for me as a writer.:)  I'm very glad you're enjoying this tale of a teenage Brian and Justin; it's the first one I've written with them at a younger age, so I was a little apprehensive about that. 

As far as Justin and "Headstrong," you will learn a little more about him in the next part, which I should be posting later today.  And you will also soon learn a little more about the details surrounding Dale's death, which continues to affect Brian's uncle greatly.  And do not fear - it will take me a little while to get to B and J drawing closer together, but I'm definitely heading in that direction.  There will be some more interaction between them in the next chapter, as a matter of fact.

I hope you continue to enjoy this story, Kimi, and will check out some of my others as well.:)  Thank you again for reading and for the wonderful comments; I am very appreciative.:)  *Hugs*  ~Kim

Brian sure is having to pay a price for his wild ways. I don't think he will be able to see the joy and beauty in a flock of chickens. At one time I had a wonderful flock of chickens, each one had a unique personality and they were amazing pets who also provided tasty fresh eggs. I also had peacocks, geese, and guinea fowl. I know you probably won't somehow make Justin an only child by some freak accident will you, oh like maybe he's working on his old car and it slips off the rack and falls on him and crushes him. Hey, these things do happen. Car repair is a dangerous hobby. I just think Justin would be happier as a single child, and Jennifer is probably thinking life as a widow would be pretty nice. Just saying, the family could sure be happier with a few improvements. I won't even start to weed out the sad family Brian has been stuck with. That uncle needs to fall into the silage chopper and we never need to mention him again. Aside from the sad family lives I do love this story. I hope we get to find our more about Justin's Horse in the next chapter.
Lori- off to count my chickens

Author's Response:

Hi, Lori!  I think you might have been a hit man in a previous life - first, you wanted Justin hit in the head over in "Parent Trap," and now you're coming up with ways to get rid of Justin's only brother and his father?  LOL~  You are so funny - ha!  While it might be quite tempting here, I think it might impact my plot, so unfortunately short of making sure our arrogant, older brother doesn't get his man, I don't think I can just kill them off.:) 

And when I post the next chapter of this later today, yes, you WILL get to read a bit more about "Headstrong."  I am leading into more of the plot development and background now as to what happened to Will and Sarah's son, so maybe you might find a little more sympathy eventually for the irascible uncle, although he IS a hard character to feel sorry for, isn't he?  But I do think that people can become quite hardened by tragedy and that in time his character will soften toward Brian, who reminds him just a little too much of his only son that he lost. 

Thank you for the feedback, Lori!  I'm glad you're enjoying the story.  I'll get the next part posted later today.:)  *Hugs*  ~Kim

Reviewer: Megan Rose (Signed) · Date: July 01, 2012 11:06 AM · On: Sparring Match

I'm loving this story! I love a younger Brian. I think the reason he's more attracted to Justin than Jared is Jared is too much like Brian. No challenge there. And the greater the challenge, the greater the reward, right? *nudge*

What I like about this the most is how vulnerable your Brian is. I can imagine this was what canon!Brian was like at this age; desperate to belong and be accepted under that fuck-off attitude. Poor boo.



Author's Response:

Hi, Megan!  So great as always to hear your thoughts, my friend.:)  I'm glad you're still enjoying the story.  I guess this would be more of a transitional chapter for the plot development, but still necessary.  I think two brothers this close in age, too, would naturally be competitive.  They can still love each other, but at the same time be rivals.  Brian would probably be quite flattered, I'm sure.:)  There is a lot more of this story to tell just yet; I do hope you continue to enjoy it!  I will be posting another part later today that finally involves more of B and J together (not quite THAT together yet, but I'm working on it!).  Thanks again for all your support; I am very appreciative.:)  *Hugs*  ~Kim

Reviewer: Jackie Mag (Signed) · Date: July 01, 2012 11:02 AM · On: Sparring Match

Boy, Jared is really a jerk to Justin!  I like it when Brian is remembering Justin blushing.  I can see the smile on his face.  Nice story.

Author's Response:

Hi, my friend; thank you for reading this latest installment and for the comments!  Not too much 'action' in this one, I know, but necessary to set up some of the other plot to come.:)  I will post another part later today of about the same chapter length; it will finally involve a little more B and J together (but probably not in the way that everyone is hoping just yet!).  Thank you for the feedback!  I really appreciate that.:)  *Hugs*  ~Kim

Loved the chapter! I know I took me a lot of time to read this chapter but you know what it's like, with work and finals coming up soon I've had little time to read. I have like ten books waiting for me to read them... not to mention fanfics... Anyway, I hope Justin will not give into Brian's charm anytime soon.... and for me it was quite ironic that neither of them would bottom... haha.... serves them right.... both of them are idiots.... Well, I really can't wait for the next chapter to be up! Hope to read you soon! Kisses!



Author's Response:

Hi, Mafita!  Great to hear from you again, my friend.:)  I can understand how RL can get in the way of more enjoyable activities, so don't worry about the delay in reading - I just appreciate you doing that and taking the time to comment.:)

I'm working on the next chapter to this right now, and I CAN say that while Justin will find their new neighbor quite attractive and be very tempted, he won't just fall into his arms, especially after his brother weaves his tale about what he SAID happened (although it will be an out and out lie!).  So I think you will get your wish; I really enjoy building up the sexual tension and this will be no exception.:)

Thank you again for reading and for your feedback, Mafita!  I hope you get a little more down time in the near future from school and work.:)  I will get this story updated very soon!  *Hugs*  ~Kim

I'm getting a little scared here - I detect a sorta Cain & Abel thing going on. Don't fight over Brian, boys. There's more than enough to go around if you're willing to share. He he he. TAG

Author's Response:

Well, I'm not sure Justin's too inclined to 'share,' but I DO see his brother definitely over-exaggerating what happened in the barn after dinner.  Justin won't just lay down at Brian's feet, either - that sexy boy is going to have to work for him - I love the thrill of the pursuit - yum!:)  So glad you're enjoying this one - I'll have more shortly.  *Hugs*  Kim

Oh! I can't wait for the next installment!! It was so good! But poor Justin!

Author's Response:

Hi, Stephanie!  I know - I always hate to see Justin get hurt.  But it was necessary in the context of this plot.  Don't worry, though - I see a certain fiery blond standing up for himself and not letting Brian just run ramshackle all over him - he has enough pride to not let himself be thought of as 'second best.'  I'm going to make Brian work for his boy!:)  (wink, wink).  And there wil be some events between the two of them that will serve to cement their relationship further along the way.

Thank you for reading and for the comments, Stephanie; I'm so happy that you're enjoying the story!  I will get this updated again soon - I'm leaving for Cologne Wednesday for a week so that will push things back just a bit.  But I now have the summer to work on my stories since my students are out, so that should speed things up a little.  Thanks again for all your support - I am very appreciative.:)  *Hugs*  ~Kim

Ok - you got me! lol I knew it would happen - if anyone could do it - it would be you. You are still at the top of my 'must read' author/friends - and I have no doubt you will be for a long time.

This story has so many possible layers. I see the possibility for some situation or event to be the catalyst for healing and mended relationships within one family - perhaps both - as well as for Brian to realize that Justin's uncompromising support and loyalty mean so much more than quick and easy gratification.

Maybe having to work a little harder - no pun intended...(ok...maybe a little lol) will lead to him appreciating what he has a little more once he and Justin finally hook up and the inevitable sparks fly. I think their first time is gonna be amazing - the stuff that dreams are made of.

Besides that - Jared doesn't stand a chance in my book - you know I love a vulnerable Brian - and he is rarely more exposed than when he bottoms - but there is only one man who is ever going to be allowed that privilege...and big brother is not the one. 

While I have no doubt that Jared is going to torment Justin, which I hate, I really like that we have a whole new dynamic here with this fresh and unique 'love to hate him' character.

I am looking forward to where you are headed with this...I'm hooked!

If I don't 'talk' to you before the convention - have a wonderful time! I wish I could be there - I have no doubt it's gonna be off the charts.

loving life,

Charle



Author's Response:

Hi, Sweetheart!  Thanks for of all for the well wishes - I can't believe it's less than a week away now!  I leave on Wednesday morning and get into Cologne early on Thursday.  It should be a wonderful chance to not only meet the cast but also so many friends that I have met online.  I am really looking forward to it.:)

And thank you for all this wonderful feedback to my story.  I appreciate the time and effort you always take in leaving your thoughts.  You are very insightful - there WILL be a bond forged between Brian and Justin that will result from the tragedy that had befallen the Walkers' son earlier - one that will help Brian to mature and realize his aunt and uncle aren't so bad after all.  He will find out just how special Justin is, too, and not just from a physical attraction standpoint. 

And yes, I do see Jared exaggerating about just what happened in the barn and Justin getting hurt by it initially.  But I also think deep down that Jared loves his brother and if he knows how much Justin is falling for Brian he may have a change of heart.

I'm so happy that you're enjoying this story, Charle!   Comments such as yours make me very happy and are so motivating to me.:)  Thank you for that and for all the support you give me.  I should be updating this one soon - I'm finally out of school - yay!  The students graduated tonight, so once I'm back from my trip I should definitely have more time to update faster.  As always, I will be looking forward to your own updates.  *Hugs*  ~Kim

Hi, Madeleine!  So great to hear from you, Dear!:)  I'm so glad you're enjoying this one, my friend.  Your comments make me very happy and are so motivating to me.  I see a lot of sibling rivalry going on here, along with Brian doing some growing up while he's staying with his aunt and uncle.  Justin will impact him in ways he doesn't even know yet, too, and in time he will realize how lucky he is.:)  Thanks again for reading along on my story and for your wonderful feedback!  I promise to update this again very soon.:)  *Hugs*  ~Kim

Reviewer: KYM (Anonymous) · Date: June 01, 2012 11:48 PM · On: Shoes....Or Pottery Barn??

Just got some time to myself finally.  So busy here-too much paper work.  Time to catch up on my current favorite story.  I guess I'm a little off center, but I love farm based stories.  There are so many places to go with a farm setting.  Brian, being younger adds to this one so much.  He is still a prowler but doesn't have the expertise as the older Brian.  This makes it a tad refreshing.  Yippee!! I got a new job here.  I will now be private secretary to one of the heads of my department.  I guess I must be doing a good job for not being here that long.  There are two people with their noses out of joint.  but oh well-hard work wins out.  I hope they get over it soon cause it makes the work place not so friendly-if you know what I mean.



Author's Response:

Hi, Kym, my friend!  First of all, congratulations on the new job!! That's great!  Unfortunately you are absolutely correct, though; whenever someone gets a much coveted position there are always others who will be envious and jealous.  And it does make it difficult to deal with that environment.  You just have to keep your nose to the grindstone and not let them affect what you do (I know - easier said than done!).  But I'm sure it was well deserved or you would not have gotten the job.  It sounds very interesting - good for you!  They will just have to get over it!

Now onto the story...thank you as always for reading and for your comments.  I AM enjoying a 'younger Brian' story - it's my first one and I agree with you; while there are shades of the 'Brian to come,' he is still not as polished as he will be later.  I do suspect that Jared will be exaggerating to his brother when he describes what happened, which may temporarily lead to more hurt for his younger brother.  But I also feel that Brian eventually will divulge what really happened and that Brian will come to realize just how special Justin really is.  I confess, too, that I wanted to preserve the more intimate sexual acts for Brian and Justin rather than with his older brother, and to me it DOES make sense that Jared would be a top as well as Brian. 

I'm so glad you're enjoying this one, Kym!  Congratulations again on the new job and thank you once more for all your support.  I promise to update this again very soon.  *Hugs*  ~Kim

Author's Response:

Hi, Sorcha, my friend!  As always, I thank you for reading and for your comments.:)  Yes, I suspect you are correct; Justin will not just give in to Brian without being sure he's not just being used as a convenience since things didn't work out between him and Jared.  Brian needs to straighten out his priorities, too, as well as his life.  That doesn't mean he will change overnight; but I DO think Justin will definitely have an influence on that!  I promise to update this just as soon as I can - my students graduate tonight (yay!), so once I get back from the con in Germany I should have some more updating time.:)

Hi, Chris!  I know - I hate to see Justin hurt, but he may just bounce back more quickly than we think.  Although I have a feeling that Jared will be twisting the truth just a bit to save his pride.  It should be an interesting dynamic between both brothers over the sexy next-door neighbor.:)

I'm getting ready to wake the kid  for his last day of school, thank God, but I wanted to review (I'm so far behind in them). Anyway, I fisnished reading this chapter this morning. I think this is the best one so far. Justin is so miserable, He's irritated and frustrated with Brian at the same time. No matter how annoying Brian can be, Justin still seems to have strong feelings for him.

I love that you have his older more experienced brother as his rival. As a matter of fact, the whole premise of the story is exciting and very imaginative. I loved the diner scene and then the barn one. I never thought about the bottom thing and it being a problem between Brian and Jared. I shoukd have know Jared was a top.

I also enjoyed the plot twist with Craig favoring one brother over the other. It was unusual to read a story where Craig is accepting of his son' homosexually and here you have given him two of them. But the added favortism was a nice substitute for him as the reason for his rejection, although I don't think it is as severe.



Author's Response:

Hi, my friend! Thank you for your very insightful comments; I appreciate them very much.  I'm glad you are enjoying this story, and I do like writing the sibling rivalry between the two.  I suspect that Jared will be embellishing what happened between him and Justin.  It will be up to Brian to set the record straight, but not before there are some misunderstandings as well as hurt pride with Justin.  I don't see him giving in to Brian as easily as Brian might hope, either. 

I will get this story updated again soon - my own (adult ed) students graduate tonight (finally!) so once I get back from the con I should definitely have more updating time.:)  Thanks again for all the support you give my stories - your feedback is so motivating to me.:)  *Hugs*  ~Kim

Author's Response:

LOL!  I LOVE your comments, Marny!  "Why didn't you listen a big longer?"  Ha!  I promise not to hurt Justin's feelings too much.:)  In fact, I think since he knows what Brian was up to that he won't just lie down at his feet and do his bidding - I think Brian's going to have to work for his boy (wink, wink), as well as do some major growing up.  I think, too, that I see some sweaty skin showing up soon - all those chores are HARD work!  

That's GREAT news about you and Linda!  I am so looking forward to meeting both of you!  We are supposed to all meet up next Thursday evening at the Cologne Cathedral to buy our tickets for the trip.  I can't wait to see you and Linda in person!!  So glad that you had the time to come.  I will make sure to bring my camera and any other goodies I have to show you from the con.:)  I'm starting to get excited about everything now - my students finally graduate tonight - whohoo!  See you soon!  *Hugs*  ~Kim

Author's Response:

Well, I'm going to have to retype  my reply again, because I hit a button and poof!  There it went into the Twilight Zone - ha!  I'm so happy to hear that you will still be following my stories out in CA, lindc - I was really sad to think that I wouldn't have your amazing support and wonderful feedback to look forward to; the comments from you and the 'peeps' really brighten up my day and keep me motivated to keep writing.:)  It means so much to me to have that, and I appreciate your kind words so much.  I feel like we are old friends by now (well, let's strike the 'old' part - ha!). 

As far as the dark beer, ugh...!  I tried to develop a taste for beer but could never quite get there...not a good problem when you are going to Germany - ha!  And I'm not sure how healthy I can eat there, but I'm going to try.  I've lost 40 lbs since Christmas (not counting the 20 I gained in the hospital that I had to lose AGAIN but it DID go away, thank God), so I'm planning on doing a lot of walking to hopefully keep on track while I'm gone.  We're taking a day trip to Amsterdam the Monday after the con, so I might come home with all kinds of 'inspirations' for story ideas.:)  I think Brian would probably love going to Amsterdam, don't you?  And we're supposed to see Burg Eltz, too, while in Germany, one of the best preserved castles in Europe - can't wait to see it.

I will be taking my net book with me and hopefully a lot of photos and video to share when I come home.  In the meantime, I promised Lee that I will be plugging away on 'his' story next, although I have a feeling he will be quite busy for a while. He's promised to keep reading and staying in touch, though, which means so much to me.

I know your free time may be limited for a while, but I am so happy to hear that you will still be staying in touch and reading my stories!  The very best of luck to you, Brian AND Lee in your new endeavors.  Please let me know how you are doing once you are all moved in.  I'll be looking forward to your updates.  *Big* Hug  ~Kim

I certainly don't envy your move - it's exciting in a way but also so time consuming and nerve wracking!  But it should be quite an adventure for you and Brian.  It sounds like everything is coming together for you with the condo and Nonie's house to stay in.  Please try to keep in touch - I would really miss your encouragement.  Your constant support has meant so much to me all this time.  Take care and let me know how you and Brian are doing! I'll be heading off to Germany next Wednesday for my OWN temporary adventure.:)  Take care!  *Big* Hug - Kim

It was just killing me that I had to wait all day till I had time to devote to reading this. I knew it was going to be wonderful and I wanted to make sure I had time to savor every artfully chosen word. It was worth the wait! The meal Jennifer cooked sounded nearly perfect, I don't know why she had to put poison mushroom into it and ruin such a wonderful meal, maybe she had hopes of makes the mean nasty uncle deathly ill and scare him into being nicer to Brian. I'm glad Brian did not find Jared to his liking, his lack of skills will probably not get him a second chance. Now will Justin be willing to take a chance on Brian? I sure hope so.

Author's Response:

Hi, Lori, my friend!  I am so flattered by your words of encouragement - thank you so much for that.:)  I was a little nervous about this chapter because I hate to write about Justin being hurt.  But as I said in another comment I also don't see him just rolling over (figuratively OR literally - ha!) for Brian just because he struck out with his older brother.  In fact, I don't think Justin will appreciate being second choice - he has too much pride for that.

That being said, though, the two will find themselves drawn to each other by virtue of being neighbors and by events that will be transpiring with the two families.  And Brian will eventually realize how special Justin is and not just because of the physical attraction involved. 

Thank you again for reading and for the lovely comments, Lori!  My students graduate tomorrow and once I get back from Germany I should be able to accelerate my updating schedule.  Thanks for all your support, my friend.  *Hugs*  ~Kim

P.S.  I take it you're not a big mushroom fan?  LOL!

Thank you for updating!!! Great chapter as usual!!! Brian is so bad teasing our poor Justin. Looking forward to the next chapter.



Author's Response:

Thank you so much, Sorcha!  And thank you for being patient with me.  My students (I teach adult ed) finally graduate tomorrow night, so I am hoping I can accelerate my updating schedule now (at least after I get back from the con in Germany - I leave next Wednesday and will be gone for a week).  This chapter was hard to write, because I hate to see Justin hurt.  But rest assured the boys will eventually get it right.:)

I don't think Justin will just fall down at Brian's feet and worship his cock just because Brian may want that, though -  I don't think Justin will enjoy playing second fiddle and being the runner up to his brother.  I'm going to make Brian work for it!  And I think Brian has a lot of growing up to do yet.

Thank you again for reading and for all of your support of my stories, Sorcha; I appreciate that so much, my friend.  *Hugs*  ~Kim

Something told me it was time to give my one hand a break, and here it was. Fabulous chapter, my dear. Dinner on the farm will never be the same again. Haha. Of course, I loved the undercurrents of all sorts, but mostly enjoyed Brian not having things his way. Undoubtedly if it had been with our favorite blond, I'd view things differently! LOL.

Wonderful update, my friend. Now back to work I go getting some boys in a monastery. Haha. *Hugsss*



Author's Response:

Hmmm...I'm waiting not so patiently for the start of THAT one - ha!  Glad you had a chance to read this chapter.  I'm a little nervous about the reaction to it, because I hate writing parts where Justin gets hurt.  But you are absolutely right - when the boys DO get together, sparks are going to fly again!  Brian still needs to do some growing up and readjust his priorities first before he sees which brother is the better one for him.  And I think Justin might just be disgruntled enough not to give in so easily.:)  You know I love the UST between these two!

Hope your recovery is still going well.  Don't overdo it!  Thanks for taking the time to read and review, my friend.  *Hugs*  ~Kim

I can't believe how long it's been since I read the last chapter!! I've had a ton of work lately and didn't have much time for fanfiction, I have been wanting to read this chapter for so long, I'm glad I finally did! Great chapter! Brian got what he deserved! Haha! I can't wait for the next chapter to be up! Hope to read you soon!!! Kisses!



Author's Response:

Hi, Sweetheart!  I'm very glad you had a chance to read this last chapter and enjoyed it!  I am actually working on the next part right now - I have most of it written, but have a few thousand words to go yet (you know how wordy I can get - ha!).  Thank you as always for reading and for taking the time to leave me feedback; that means so much to me and is so motivating to me.:)  *Hugs*  ~Kim

Really sorry I have been remiss in reading lately.  Have been so busy on the job, not much time to do any of my fun things I like to.  Finally have a day off after ten days.  Am very tired but finally caught up here.  This story is wonderful, I love rural country stories as you know.  So many scenarios you can put in here. Farm life and the things to do there leaves a writer with many ways to write sexy things.  Will be waiting for them. The boys better watch out for Brian when he is in hunting mood.  Love this one.



Author's Response:

Hi, Kym!  I apologize for not responding to your review earlier; for some reason I am not getting any notifications anymore whenever I receive a review; very odd!  I do want you to know how much I appreciate you taking the time to read and review; I'm so pleased that you're enjoying it.:)  I will be updating this again very shortly.  I do have some experience in a rural setting, since a lot of my relatives grew up in Kentucky.  I fear poor Brian will definitely feel like a fish out of water, but something tells me he's going to enjoy himself just the same (wink, wink).  Thanks again for the lovely comments, Kym!  *Hugs*  ~Kim

I am so enjoying this story. There is so much going on. Brian is butting heads with Uncle Will who has not gotten over the death of his son and Justin and his brother are rivals for Brian's affections.

How about when you get done you demonstrate on ME?

 Brian's sexual innuedos during the milking of Checkers were  priceless!

I would love to see Justin as a jockey, at least that's where I think you may be headed.

I can't wait for an update. 



Author's Response:

Hi, dear!  I'm so glad you like this one!  And I WILL tell you that you are correct in that Justin, with his smaller frame, will wind up being the Taylor jockey.  There will be a LOT of 'jockeying' around going on in this story and not just on horses - ha!  I really like writing the back-and-forth banter between B & J, so I hope to incorporate a lot more of that in the upcoming chapters. 

It really makes me happy knowing that you're enjoying this story!  Thanks as always for your support and encouragement; that means the world to me.:)  I will get this updated soon.  *Hugs*  ~Kim

Hi, lincd!  Sounds like a lot of fun and you so deserve it - I hope you have a great time and win wads of cash!:)  Thanks for reading along on this one.  I'm having a lot of fun with it, and the dinner should be quite interesting with the boys.  I do see a bit of sibling rivalry here between the brothers over Brian, who will no doubt eat the whole thing up.:)  I don't want Justin to be quite so 'accomodating,' though.  Brian may find it's not quite as easy to get him to give in as he thinks, especially once he flirts around with big brother.  Thanks as always for your support, lincd (all of you); it means so much to me.:)  *Hugs*  ~Kim

I almost feel like I have you in my power, I just say the word update and like magic one appears! I thought your description of the old farm house was amazing. I grew up in a farming community and know that type of home so well. The way you can add such detail to a story and not bog it down it a real gift.

I think this Brian has a lot of growing to do before he can be ready for a loving relationship. I can't wait to see how it happens. I have a feeling Dale's dog will play a part in breaking down some of those walls as well as the shy blond neighbor. Your updates are always worth the wait.
Lori

Author's Response:

Hi, Lori; what wonderful comments; thank you so much, my friend!  I'm so glad you're enjoying this story!  You are very perceptive - one of the main tenets to this plot is the change in maturity I see Brian undergoing under his aunt and uncle's wing.  He will most definitely resist the authority placed upon him and will still act out for a while.  But I suspect he will eventually be evolving into someone more responsible.  That being said, though, he won't change some things; he will still be the same self-confident bastard he is right now in a lot of ways or it wouldn't be Brian.:)

I'm going to have fun with the dinner - there will definitely be some sibling rivalry going on, and Justin may find himself on the outside looking in temporarily.  But something tells me that a certain brunet will find him very hard to resist eventually.  Now if you could just say 'next chapter of My Heart's Desire' is done and it would magically appear, that would be great - LOL!  I'm going to update that one first before moving onto "Parent Trap" so I can resolve that whodunnit.  Thanks again, Sweetie, for reading and for all your support!  I appreciate that very much.  I'll get this updated very soon.  *Hugs*  ~Kim

Author's Response:

Hello, Madeleine; thank you for reading and for your comments, my friend.:)  Oh, and thank you, also, for the 'favorite author' designation; that makes me very happy.:)  While Brian has definitely become intrigued with his beautiful neighbor, I CAN still see him perhaps 'sampling' the OTHER brother as well.  After all, he wouldn't want to tip his hand too much and give his emotions away just yet.:)  Thank you again for taking the time to leave feedback!  I promise to update this very soon, and I'm looking forward to your own story as well.  *Hugs*  ~Kim

ah - the fun begins - for Brian and Justin at least - Jared will no doubt be quite surprised to find out that his 'charm' doesn't hold a candle to the attraction between the gorgeous new brunette and his 'squirt' brother ... for once  'sport' doesn't stand a chance of victory

great work  - as always

Author's Response:

Hi, Charle, my friend!  Yes, I think Jared will be a little surprised that his 'inconsequential' brother has suddenly gotten a head start on his desire to get to know their sexy neighbor better.  Although..I still see Brian playing the field just a little; I don't see him all of sudden falling at Justin's feet yet.  He wouldn't want to reveal his feelings too soon, and he will be curious about the older, more rebellious brother.  Let's just say that dinner should be quite interesting...ha!  Thanks verybmuch as always for your support, Sweetheart; I will get this updated again very soon.:)  *Hugs*  ~Kim

Ooooh, I was thrilled to see this update. I needed an excuse for a break, and what an excellent one! This chapter was such fun. I can just visualize our young Brian attempting his life on the farm. Imagining his attempts simply doubles me over with laughter! Of course, sweet little Justin to the rescue. He might want to rethink that in the future - if he doesn't want to be nailed against the hay stacks! Haha. I loved their banter, chemistry... and the pictures were a great touch. *Grumbles to self* about big brother unsettling the mix... but, at least I think our adorable little blond has made quite the impression on our lusty teenager!

Excellent update, my dear. I'm so looking forward to more of this! *Hugsss*



Author's Response:

Hi, my dear friend!  I'm glad I could provide you with a respite from your storywriting.:)  Yes, Brian is definitely not a 'country boy,' but I think he's figuring out that there are some definite 'perks' - LOL! 

You know how much I love to throw the angst in there, so naturally Jared will be doing some interfering before Justin is able to snare the gorgeous boy's heart (and body).  Thanks so much for the feedback, Sweetie.  Looking foward to your updates as well:)  *Hugs*  Kim

"He squirmed uncomfortably in his seat..."


That was a very nice description of the bus ride. I could almost feel I was on the ride with him.The whole trip seemed to be a punishment or a humbling experience. Riding in the back of truck was even more humiliating for Brian. I almost felt sorry for him.


"Brian continued to stand up in the back of the truck as Craig and the two boys watched them leave, his gaze bouncing back and forth between Jared and Justin."


 


It was exciting to read the introduction of the Taylor family (for a second I thought the name of the brother was going to be Michael). LOL. 


You have the dynamics of Justin with an older brother and his parents knowing both are gay.  This should prove interesting with Brian in the picture.


Nice chapter!



Author's Response:

Hi, my friend!  I always look forward to your thoughtful comments!  As for Michael being the second brother....ew...(sorry to those M & B shippers out there!), but I just couldn't do it.  It might have been an interesting angle, though, but really - competition with Justin?  Nah....

I wanted to give the brothers names that both stared with "J" and thought Jared sounded like perhaps he might be a rebel - ha!  I think Brian may be drawn to Jared first as they have some things in common, but eventually that will change (wink, wink). 

Thanks so much for taking the time to leave me feedback!  And thank you for being so consistently faithful about doing that; that means a lot to me.  I hope I can keep writing stories that you will enjoy.:)  I'll get this updated soon, too.:)  *Hugs*  ~Kimberly

Brian will find that Justin won't go rushing immediately back into his arms in that story, but the deep love between them is still there - and now they have two very determined girls that are going to work hard on bringing them - and their family - back together.:)  I'll enjoy watching Justin trying to resist as three people gang up against him to try and get him to give into his heart.  Thank you again for the kind words, Luisa!  I will get "Parent Trap" updated very soon.  *Hugs*  ~Kimberly

Woww two gay brothers. Which one will Brian choose first? Jared, because ...  Justin !! don't be so shy !! Brian wants you! * giggles *

Author's Response:

Ha!  I love your comments, Marny, they're always so funny!  I know - poor Brian - what's a little (well, not so little!) boy to do with two hot guys?  Fuck them both, I assume - ha!  Seriously, though, I do think he might initially be more interested in Jared and see Justin as more of the 'kid brother' at first.  But we all know it won't take long for our sexy brunet to see who the REAL prize is.  BTW - I'm about to post a St. Patrick's PWP one-shot with the boys - I do hope you like it!  Thanks again, Sweetie - and I'm still hoping for a meeting somehow in June!  Hope everything's going well for you.  *Hugs*  ~Kim

It looks so promising!!!!



Author's Response:

Hi, Sorcha!  Thank you for commenting on this story - yes, it's rather in the 'early stages,' but now that I've gotten the 'preliminaries' out of the way (introducing the three boys to each other), we can more onto the more 'interesting' part of the story (wink, wink...).  I DO see a little bit of sibling rivalry here, and I think initially Justin will concede a little to his older and more confident older brother.  That being said, though, we all know where it will be leading eventually, don't we?  I do hope you will continue to enjoy this story.

On another note, I want to thank you, also, for all your ongoing support of my stories and for the faith that you've entrusted in me that I will finish my WIPs.  I appreciate that and I won't let you down.:)  Thanks again!  *Hugs*  ~Kimberly

Just a little someum someum thought might tickle your fancy.  Was trying to find a review on Randy at Theaterjam3 in the village in Snow Storm.  I found one wow!  wish I could have seen it. I was just wondering if you read it.  Only 20 minute play and very sexy only he and two girls in his underwear.  It's quite an article Tee Hee. lol



Author's Response:

No, I don't think that I did!  But I DID see one somewhere else and wowsa!  What I would have given to see him parading around in his underwear as he 'entertained' himself.  Thanks for letting me know about it, though.  What a shame you can't take pictures in that place for posterity's sake (and 'posterity' is definitely the operative word here - ha!).

BTW - Thank you, also, for that comment about WIPs on the other posting - I am very honored by it and that means a lot to me.  You and your co-workers/friends' support has meant the world to me this past year and I hope I can continue to write stories that you all enjoy, because I certainly treasure the comments that you have given me.  Than you for that, my friend.  Hope you all have a great time tonight and a safe trip to DC!  *Hugs*  ~Kimberly

My bad!  I missed this one-oh my gosh!  This one is going to be fantastic.  I was born in the country and grew up on my dad's dairy farm.  I am so excited to see how this plays out.  Farms are so much fun although big city people are not in the know.  There is so much to do-barn dances, baked bean suppers, hay rides, rolls in the hay-those are the most fun.  There again there is mucking out stalls, and slopping the hogs not so much fun.  Can't wait for more chapters.  What a happy find.  Brian will be happy here even if he won't admit it. As some of your reviewers say--doing a happy dance.



Author's Response:

Ha!  Hi, Kym!  I can definitely tell that you know what you're talking about!  If you don't mind I may actually use some of your suggestions and include them in this story!  (Definitely the 'rolls in the hay' for our sexy brunet - yum....).  My parents are both from Kentucky, and I can still recall us driving down to the small town of Hitchins (and yes, it's as small as it sounds - ha!) to visit my grandmother who lived right in front of a train track.  I can still hear the sound of a train as it slowly came closer and closer to the house at night while we were sleeping.  And I can still remember having to use the weathered, wooden outhouse out back to go to the bathroom because she had no running water.:)  Not to mention the creaking of the screendoor out front as we went out to the front porch.  There were some challenges, but it was also peaceful and quiet there as well.:)

Brian is definitely going to feel out of place there at times and will be in for some culture shock, but he will also find some other areas quite 'entertaining.'  (wink, wink).  Thank you so much, Kym, for taking the time to review! And thank you for being so supportive of all my stories - I am very appreciative.:)  *Hugs*  ~Kimberly
