Well, I blame you for the emotions. Lol. Such a moving story!



Author's Response:

I hadn't read this in quite some time and I'm a little uncertain I should have let Brian ply a person with drinks to get what he wanted, even if it was only the Kinney dreaded ‘c' word (cuddle).  Bad Brian. Okay, maybe I should take the blame. LOL  I'm really pleased you found it moving.

Cheers :)

You are so gifted. This is so powerful and emotional. 



Author's Response:

Thank you for saying this is powerful and emotional.  Also a huge thank you for leaving such lovely.

Cheers :)))

Why must you make me emotional? Another wonderfully written and powerful fic.



Author's Response:

This is the only fic where I have written the ending before the beginning.  It wasn't intentional; it was because additional story-line was requested.  Personally, I enjoy reading fics that give you the ending then explains how B/J reached that point.   Thank you for such great reviews. 

Cheers :)

Author's Response:

I enjoyed writing about one of Brian's idiosyncratic philosophies being tested and was found wanting.  Thank you again for reviewing each chapter.

Cheers :)

This is a different story.  I really like it so far. 



Author's Response:

Thank you, thank you, thank you.  I loooove your review as I really try to be different with what I write.  I truly appreciate you taking the time to let me know you like this. 

Cheers

Bittersweet.  I like the way Brian celebrates especially the half a sketch.  Thank you for continuig this.



Author's Response:

Bittersweet would be a good way to describe this, as what it took for Brian to celebrate life caused a lot of heartache.  Thank you for the feedback and letting me know what you enjoyed the most.  I really appreciate you taking the time to review.

Cheers

 read the story thinking htat this fic was finished ,but when I read the second chapter I went back to check that I had read correctly there is so much more you can tell in this story.  ( Is Justin permanently in the chair or jsut sometimes when he tires?  Does he still paint?  What is he graduating from?  What is Brian doing with Kinnetik?  Where is Gus in their lives?  What about the rest of the gang? Why a secret marriage?  )  I could go on, but it really feels like you have just pqued th reader and not finished the story.  I hope you find time to add to the story and share more of this universe



Author's Response:

Hi Sandy.  I apologise for taking so long to answer your review, but I have been away for a short break.  I must admit when I first read your review I was a little befuddled as to why you wanted the family added to something that was very personal to B/J and then I realised you were just asking for more of this universe.  I agree with you, all those areas you have suggested could be covered, however, I'm not promising a continuation as I am still having health issues and they are taking priority at the moment.  I did add a little something for you though re the secret commitment.  I'm glad to hear I was able to pique your interest.  Thank you for taking the time to review and letting me know your thoughts.

Cheers

I got behind in reviewing due to painful dental issues and still recovering. Drugs... good!

I remember this story now. They was so much I was curios about in the first chapter. Reading it again, I thought it was the result of the bashing. It's sad to think that it was the result of Brian's infidelity but that makes it more interesting

And what of the timeline? They married when Justin was 18?

I'm curious about a beta, too. I thought there was one volunteering on this site, but I can't find the person. I know Predec2 does it at times. I wish you luck.

Author's Response:

LOL I'm pleased to hear you are enjoying the good drugs; obviously you didn't get them from Anita.

OMG you have brought a whole new dimension to this fic with your comment; "And what of the timeline?".  I would have assumed since Justin was successful and away from Brian people would naturally think it was after the series ended.  I try never to give my fics timelines as it allows the reader to have their own opinion; however I have just gone back and put a date in.  Thank you for pointing that out. 

As to the beta; I really want to know she is okay.  I'm not too worried about putting my fic up (unless I can find a beta soon) as I have decided to take a break (holiday) before my next operation and then I might stop writing until I have my final op.  I know; how many body parts /internal organs can they possible operate on; especially since they keep removing them.   I hope I'm still female when they're finished.  LOL   If not I may have to change my pseudonym.  LOL

Thank you for once again giving an insightfully review.  I really do appreciate it.

Cheers

"...the designated student push his wheelchair to the right of the stage to exit."

OMG! You pulled me right in with that line.

Author's Response:

no sleep I'm so glad you hadn't remembered this fic, and that particular line pulled you right in.  What really makes me happy is that it is the wheelchair that once again held your attention.  Being able to do that with one line is a really thrill for me.  I appreciate you coming back, supporting my fic and giving your honest opinion.  Thank you so much for the reveiw; I really value all your reviews.

Cheers

Hey Flossee :) This was very beautiful and serves as a great reminder that sometimes things aren't always as they appear to be and that life often changes in the blink of an eye.

Author's Response:

You made me laugh when I saw this again.  LOL  Thank you as I can do with a laugh right now. 

Riddle:  Did The Accused, Wildflower have An Unexpected Love of updates.  Okay, it's not really a riddle; I'm just being a little silly and asking nicely for updates please.  LOL 

Cheers and thanks again for making me chuckle.  

Reviewer: LNG (Signed) · Date: October 06, 2013 09:25 PM · On: Chapter 2

I'm sorry to write it, but the story is very confusing.

 

What is meant by "secret committment" if Brian still brings guys home and Justin thinks they are monogamus?

What happened to Justin?

Why arw they still together? Did Justin forgive Brian? Why?

 

Sorry for all these questions.



Author's Response:

Hello Natalya.  Never apologise for asking questions if you don't understand something.  I'm just happy you have read my fic and want to understand it.  Brian was only looking for comfort to allow himself to relax through a time that Justin couldn't be there.  He didn't have sex with the man he brought home.  Justin fell down the stairs near the bed in the loft.  Brian did explain why he took the substitute home and Justin made his peace with the situation and forgave Brian.    Yes they are still together.  The first chapter is two years in to the future, so they are together celebrating Justin's achievement, but now because of these events Brian has seen fit to celebrate other occasions as well.   Thank you for taking the time to leave a review and I hope I have been able to provide you with some answers.

Cheers

Reviewer: YumYumPM (Signed) · Date: October 06, 2013 09:20 PM · On: Chapter 2

This was sad and sweet all at the same time.  Brian missed his Sunshine so much that he had to have a subsistute to sleep.  To make matters worse Justin comes home and finds another man in his bed.  In disbelief he falls, those crazy steps, and now can't move.  Did I get it right?  I like the thought behind the half complete portraits and the wedding presents.  Unfortunately you write this so well that I wouldn't mind if you did more!!!



Author's Response:

Thank you YumYumPM; yes you are 100% correct.  I'm so glad you came back and thank you so much for the lovely compliment.  As you can see you are part of the reason I continued this fic and I really like the feedback you give in your reviews.  I am taking a short break for a holiday before I have surgery, yet again (I know I must hold the world record for surgeries).   However, this means I probably won't add to this fic or if I do it will most likely take me another year to get around to it.  LOL  I won't say I will never add to it, but for now I really need the break.  Sorry that's probably way more than you wanted to know.  LOL   Thank you once again as I really do appreciate your well thought out reviews.

Cheers  

Reviewer: sophie'smom (Anonymous) · Date: October 06, 2013 08:40 PM · On: Chapter 2

It feels so unfinished. Like there's so much more to tell.
If Brian was committed to Justin, then there' no way he would take a look alike trick home just because Justin wasn't there.
Why was Justin back at school, graduating, in chapter one? What's the prognosis? So many unanswered questions.

Author's Response:

OMG have I created more questions than answers.  LOL  The trick wasn't a look alike, he was just a warm body.  Brian was looking for comfort to allow himself to relax through a time Justin couldn't be there, no sex was involved.  Justin's graduation was to show they still celebrated achievements, it could have been a successfully show, but he was already successfully, however, he had never finished his diploma.  The prognosis was unknown due to his previous injury.    Thank you for this review.  If it's still unclear please feel free to let me know. 

Cheers

Author's Response:

Life can certainly be fragile can't it?  I know someone who was injured in a similar fashion.  She sneezed and injured herself badly enough that she had to learn to walk again.  Thank you so much Tamara for all your support and the very beautiful comment.   I really appreciate the fact that you take the time to review.

Y is justin in a wheelchair?

Author's Response: The wheelchair symbolizes their relationship isn’t just physical. Reading the reviews I had decided to add to this fic to explain the wheelchair and I have already written the addition. However, I’m not really sure if I’m going to do it or not, as additions to fics never seem to go well. I am ecstatic that 200 words can pique so much interest and I’m even more elated that you have commented. Since you are in my favourite authors list, I’m honored you have even read anything I have written. I read most of your work before I started leaving reviews and now I can see how remiss I have been in not going back and reviewing them. Cheers

Reviewer: Al (Anonymous) · Date: January 02, 2013 07:33 PM · On: Chapter 1

I agree with Cheryl. You need to do a back story! I did not understand what I was reading, until I read all of the reviews. Plus it sounded like this could be a much longer story.



Author's Response: I’m glad you want more of a back story and I have thought about writing it as I have the idea there but health issues seem to be my priority at the moment. Thank you for reviewing this as it makes me want to continue it now. Cheers

Reviewer: sfscarlet (Signed) · Date: October 28, 2012 07:24 AM · On: Chapter 1

excellent-  a very positive statement



Author's Response: I think at some stage we begin to see Brian’s feelings for Justin as so much more than physical and if that was taken away it wouldn’t lessen how he left. Also that he would grow as a person allowing him to realise what is really important. Thank you Sandy for the review and the 'excellent' comment; it is very much appreciated. Cheers

Reviewer: BigPaw (Signed) · Date: October 02, 2012 08:16 AM · On: Chapter 1

Ohhh my perfect dream Brian, he has become even more wonderful. He is now able to enjoy all the highlights of that blond kid and make a big deal about them. Ok, so Justin is in a wheel chair, I'm sure he's still everything Brian needs in a partner. I do wish this were longer, I crave piles of words. I needs an excuse to keep me from my list. Now in my mind I would expand this into an epic length novel. Justin would be sent off to a center where he would be matched with a service animal, I would like to say monkey bit I know Brian would have a very difficult adjusting to living with a messy monkey in the loft but I would imagine he might be willing to adjust to a low shedding dog. Any chance Justin is also blind, the mini horses make excellent seeing eye helpers, they live so much longer than a dog. The clean up can be a bit more challenging but with Brian's wealth he can afford to hire a mini stable boy to follow them around with a shovel. ...wait, Justin and his allergies might not handle the hay and grain a horse would need. I guess it will have to be a dog. As always, I am impressed with your knack for stringing words together in a pleasing row to make a story I will remember for years.
Lori

Author's Response: I’m glad you can see Justin handled everything with the upmost aplomb and wasn’t vexed with the situation. Brian was priceless when he brought the spendy chair; dang don’t we love him? I thought if you wanted a blind Justin he could get a bobtail and a very small harness for it to lead him around. Then as a backup Brian could buy a spendy cat, but since Brian doesn’t know animals very well he would buy a skunk instead and Justin would follow the smell instead of using a lead. Okay I think the brain is being overused as it never sleeps now we are sharing it. A perfect Brian is there such a thing; in my world there is? Thank you once again for the very entertaining review my friend. Cheers

Reviewer: Reader (Anonymous) · Date: October 02, 2012 06:56 AM · On: Chapter 1

Beautiful..............



Author's Response: Thank you I can’t ask for more than that. This has been a wonderful experience with the reviews I have received for this. Those who understand it, such as yourself and others who want to understand it. I love writing the emotions of these two men. Thank you once again for taking the time to leave such a nice review. Cheers

Reviewer: Cheryl (Anonymous) · Date: October 02, 2012 02:12 AM · On: Chapter 1

I, too, thought I had missed something, i.e., is this a series or something.  I've read that you have problems reading angst and issues with writing it.I did find it well written and had me hooked.    But this little drabble is screaming for more back story. 



Author's Response: OMG thank you Cheryl I can see you read the other reviews and you are saying it is screaming for more of a back story; I am very flattered by this as I wouldn’t have believed 200 words would have people wanting more. To say it is well written and had you hooked; you are the first person to say one of my pieces had them hooked. Thank you so much for taking the time to review and yes angst is not my friend. LOL Cheers

Reviewer: YumYumPM (Signed) · Date: October 02, 2012 12:20 AM · On: Chapter 1

I was like the others - wheelchair?  Thank you for answering previous reviews.  Now you must write another story about how Justin ended up in a wheelchair!!! 



Author's Response: YumYumPM thank you for taking such an interest in this small drabble. I’m pleased you read the other comments I had made as I love a person who cares enough to want to understand the writing. I will reiterate I love my reviewers they are so nice and I appreciate you took the time to review my other stories too. Thank you so much. Cheers

Reviewer: judi (Anonymous) · Date: October 01, 2012 10:52 PM · On: Chapter 1

I don't get it!



Author's Response: Judi I am so happy to get your review. I have just cut and paste the answer from a previous review so I hope that is alright. I sometimes ask questions of authors and I think they take offense but I am so happy someone will ask if they don’t understand the writing. The wheelchair is not the focus of the drabble, it could have been any physical challenge, it is there only as an aid to help convey how the men are continually evolving. Justin is stronger and triumphant over adversity all the while knowing Brian is by his side which is conveyed in the smile. Brian’s love for him is very deep and not just physical and the changes in Brian that allow him the ability to understand things he once thought insignificant are precious. I hope this helps as I am a little unsure of what part you are having trouble with. If you are familiar with my writing you may have expected it to be funny but it is just pure emotion. Thank you for the review. Cheers

Reviewer: no sleep (Signed) · Date: October 01, 2012 08:59 PM · On: Chapter 1

Thanks for answering my question. It's a beautiful story and so well written. I thought I had missed a prequel, LOL.

I understood that their relationship was more than  just physcial and it made it all the more heartwarming because of it. I would love to read more in this universe.



Author's Response: I wish I could write more but I have a problem reading angst could you imagine if I tried writing it. LOL. It was a pleasure answering your review but it looks like I got to excited and over explained. LOL. Thank you for the lovely words I always appreciate someone who takes the time to tell me if they enjoyed the writing. Cheers
