It took me about a week to read this story and it was such an emotional journey. It's really one of the best fanfictions I've ever read, it made me want to laugh and cry at the same time. Furthermore, the story showed that even after the worst experiences and horrible moments life will get better again. The ending made me so happy. I wish they would make a film of this as a Queer as Folk Sequel. Thank you for writing this beautiful story! :)

Beautiful. (That's the only word that's needed to described this chapter.)

I almost cried myself over Brian getting so in touch with his own emotions and accepting his love for Justin. Brian's heart expanding made me think of the Grinch, although Brian was always very generous toward his friend. :)

Reviewer: eureka1 (Signed) · Date: September 13, 2015 08:44 PM · On: Nobody's Fault But My Own

I'm so impressed with how you relayed Lindsay's feelings/guilt about how she encouraged Justin to go to New Yok; how she wanted to live vicariously through Justin; how she contributed to Brian and Justin separating--and, especially, how she tried to make amends.

While I might like to see Brian's personal growth move more rapidly, ths story feels like a natural progression and self-understanding on Brian's part. Emotionaaly wrenching and satisfying for me as a reader.

Reviewer: Tagsit (Anonymous) · Date: October 08, 2014 10:01 PM · On: Epilogue

Truly a great story. I read it before, while you were writing, but re-reading it now as a whole helped me see it better and I was even more impressed. Great writing, wonderfully perceptive as to Brian's emotions and inner struggle and enjoyable all at the same time. Thanks for writing. TAG.

First of all: THANK YOU so much for this amazing story !!! I enjoyed this journey from the very beginning to the end. Your writing is excellent, I loved those long, detailed chapters, the slow pace, descriping their emotions, struggles and development, always believable and totally in character. Certainly one of the best BJ-stories I've ever read! Very well done!!

For some weeks, this story was like some kind of good friend to me, always looking forward to the next part - I'm going to miss it!

So thanks again, and take care :)

Reviewer: Anonymous (Anonymous) · Date: August 25, 2013 10:35 PM · On: Save The Last Dance For Me, Part I

"I'm here for you whatever you decide," - I think that's exactly the sentence Brian needed, now that he's taken this huge step forward, admitting to his fears, and accepting that Justin loves him anyway. 

Great chapter, as always, I'm looking forward to part 2, and at the same time I don't, because it will bring us closer to the end of this amazing story  :(

... and I love Brian's Christmas gift for Justin !!

This by far has to be my favorite chapter. So many revelations, and you have done an exemplary job of presenting the dichotomy of emotions the characters are feeling.

My only regret about this story is that it will soon come to an end. I can't begin to tell you how much I have enjoyed it, and will be looking forward to your future projects.

Brian seems okay for now, but he really needs to let all his hang ups out.  Perhaps if he discussed it with Justin and got help making the decision of which doctor to use?  Lindsay moving out, wow.  At least they'll have time to adjust.  I'm asumming that the bad news that she's not improving will mean no more Jesse?  The holidays in New York and Brian has rented a house.  That is going to be so fun.  So much has happened in this chapter and I look forward to reading more.

Author's Response:

Yes, the big question is can Brian let go of all the built up guilt from the last 5 or so years? That would do wonders for making things easier! We shall see...! :)

Yep - no more Jesse. Yay!

Christmas in New York - so fun! I hope the final chapter lives up to it :D

Certainly there are a lot of unresolved issues in Brian's subconscious, he always was a master of suppression. Maybe they now come out in his nightmares, after he has changed so much and is able to show his emotions and talk about them. Will he be ready to talk to somebody, maybe Marty?

Jesse has to be fired - immediatly !!

Hopefully everything will be ok with Justin's manager and the show.

Only two more chapters ??? - too bad, sniff, sniff :(

Brian definitely has a lot of unresolved issues - which are all coming to a head...

Why do I all of a sudden have a sinking feeling in the pit of my stomach.....I hope Lindsay isn't about to do what I think she's about to do. As for Jesse, why doesn't the prick take a hint and back off, Brian does not want him and he has made it more than clear.

Lovely chapter, this "Wonderful Life", after all those angsty and difficult ones ... Hope you continue this course :)

Do you think Brian will ever have the opportunity to realize his dream about living in New York? Maybe you have something in your mind like: Five years later .......

Have a good week, too. ;)

Author's Response:

I think Brian will always want to try and take care of Justin - including making his decisions! But the fact that he doesn't follow through on that impulse is huge for him. Our little guy is finally growing up!

I definitely think Brian will make it to New York - though not sure I'll explore that in this fic. We shall see what happens! :D

Wow - "Naked love", indeed this was to everyone's satisfaction, in several meanings ... And your Brian? Well, you took him through a really hard time, turning his life completly upside down at a moment's notice, and he took over responsibility without hesitation. He is a very complex character, with a one-sided self-perception, and in your story, through those circumstances, you forced him to change, and you gave him the opportunity to develop and show different aspects of his personality. So - very well done !!!

But, only 4 -5 chapters left :(  Are you sure ? I will miss this sory very much when it ends, so maybe you can consider a little bit more ... ;)

Great chapter again, thanks !!!

BTW, I always wonder - will Brian ever learn what happened that night in Toronto with Sam?

Author's Response:

Thank you! I'm glad you could see the progression of Brian. It was my main focus and I really was hoping I accomplished a true change in him based on circumstance.

Sadly, yes, only a few more chapters left.

Reviewer: NoChaser (Signed) · Date: July 29, 2013 01:32 AM · On: Prologue

Just a bit more afterthought.

I don't think Brian is out of character at all. To be out of character would mean that given the circumstances as you have related them, the canon character would have responded differently. I don't think that's the case.

Brian was always ethical about the interpersonal sexual dealings of others, if nothing else. (Arguably not always his OWN, however.)  He wouldn't give in to Kip's blackmail, he advised Emmett to stand his ground against another friend, he advised Michael to go with his heart even though Ben was positive, he even understood Justin's need to go with Ethan (although he didn't like that).

Forced into listening to his own internal dialogue - which Cowlip showed us he needed but refused to let us have - he came to appropriate conclusions about his own behaviors and feelings.

Reviewer: NoChaser (Signed) · Date: July 29, 2013 01:22 AM · On: Naked Love

This tale has unravel amazingly, and I don't think you've overshot with Brian at all. I'll admit that I was at times chomping at the bit for the story to get on with it, already! LOL  But retrospectively, to get where Brian is now, he needed every single introspective thought, every event, every vacillating or equivocal thought.

The character Kinney is a very, deeply introspective figure. Unfortunately, he tends to make decisions based upon only a portion of his self-musings and lets sex dull out the sound of the remainder. Putting him in a situation where he can't ethically have sex to shut up his internal dialogue, he is forced to contend with it - to listen to himself totally for once.

I've never seen Brian as the innately promiscuous man so many discern him to be. He is highly sexual, of course, but most of the promiscuity stems from the trap of his reputation - a trap he loaded and set himself. Once let out of the trap, he was able to uncover the real issue - his own self loathing - and begin to deal with it.

Good job - very good job - on setting up the reveal. Brian can love, can be monogamous (voluntarily and happily) and still be the highly sexual man (and eternal asshole) he is. Thank god he fell in love with someone as highly sexed as  he is!!! LOL

Have loved this story every step of the way.

Roni

Author's Response:

Thank you, thank you, thank you for this comment. You have made my day. Not only because you get what I was doing with Brian, but because you stuck with it even when it was trying your patience (haha! Sorry!)! (it was trying my patience too, believe me!) There was a stretch of chapters that I just knew were going to be hard for people to make it through, but I had to give Brian the time to think, and feel, and grow and I'm so happy you can see that now! :) I just hope I didn't lose too many people because of the slow development in the  middle...

I totally agree with you about Brian - he may be highly sexualized but that doesn't automatically translate to mean he's a man-slut. And his tendency to be promiscuous doesn't mean he can't be monogamous, either.

Thank goodness for Justin indeed :D

Thank you again and again for reading and commenting! I greatly appreciate hearing back from my readers!

Reviewer: zsadistwhore (Signed) · Date: July 28, 2013 05:05 PM · On: Naked Love

Based purely on his canon character, Brian is out of character, yes. But after everything he's been through in this story, I don't think he's too out of character. Becoming a full time dad, HIV scare etc, would change anyone and it's up to you as the author to decide how much. That's the beauty of writing.

Author's Response:

yes, canonically, he's definitely out of character, but I'm glad to hear you think he's behaving in character for the situation I've presented.

Also cool to let Molly into the storyline a bit. Always thought she should have been more than an Offscreen Charac. on the show.

Author's Response:

Thank you for the review! And I'm glad I could clarify the Finding Nemo connection.

Yes, Molly was tragically neglected later in the show - it could have been another interesting aspect of Justin's life to explore. But - I'll gladly take up that mantle, at least a little bit!

I love this line:

“I don’t think you’re doing Justin any favors by forcing him to live out some fantasy life you think he wants. I think it’s obvious he just wants to be with you.”

Of all people, it was Sam who frankly told this to Brian!!! And I hope Brian do consider to think of this one, coz I know & felt it for myself that this is all so true!!!

Way to go girl, nice chapter! {{{Hugs}}}

Author's Response:

haha! Yeah, Sam turned into an unlikely ally in the Brian/Justin relationship saga! That little exchange was one of my favorite things to write for this story so far, because Brian needs that kind of reinforcement from an outside, uninterested party. We'll see if Sam's words do have the desired effect on Brian! :D

Reviewer: IcedCupcake (Signed) · Date: June 20, 2013 01:32 PM · On: Empty Hands

I must say, this is one of my favorite stories going on right now!  :)  BTW, I have no qualms with long chapters, more to read I say.

My only problem is it seems like they just keep taking steps backwards...I mean, it's so sad and everything just keeps getting worse.  Justin asking for them to have no contact and just focus on themselves almost seems like a precursor to just giving up.  How can they reconnect when they now live such different lives?  It seems like they're now such different people that I'm not even sure they're supposed to be together.

And I'm apalled at myself for just thinking that.

I'm sure with 7-8 chapters you'll address that, I have faith that you will, at least.  XD  Anyways, I still love the story and can't wait for the next update.

Author's Response:

thank you for your compliments :) I'm glad you're enjoying the story :)

There is a lot of two steps forward/one step back going on right now - I fully admit it! But with these two nothing is ever easy and specifically with Brian, trying to calm him down and make him realize what he's got and what he could lose sometimes requires some drastic action!

And gosh, please don't ever think Brian and Justin shouldn't be together! They have grown a lot separately, but also together - it's just making them both realize (or Brian realize) that they each need the other! Brian can be hard to convince...

:)

There are so many variables contained within this chapter that I don't know where to start.

I'm relieved that Brian was able to recognize the level of help that Gus really needed, at the same time it is heartbreaking for a child so young to have to deal with such heavy issues.

Justin coming for a visit and standing his ground about coming back for good on his own terms was well overdue. I don't think Brian was quite prepared to hear that Justin's experience wasn't what he thought it should be. Because of this, I do feel that Brian is more open to truly listening to the needs of those he cares about.

Justin meeting Sam seemed kind of tense for a moment there, but it seems we'll have to wait to see the aftermath ;)

Looking forward to the next installment~JP

Yes, Brian finally taking care of Gus was overdue - but I'm also glad he's finally doing it!

Brian has many expectations in his head that are frequently turning out not to be true, especially with regards to Justin. It'll be interesting to see how he handles things from here on out, now that the two men have really talked.

Thank you so much for reading and commenting. I appreciate it very much!

What a pleasure to find a new chapter, I'm so addicted to this story:)

Such a tough time for Brian, good to know, that a certain blonde will show up soon.

Since Sam's first appearance in this story, I'm kind of worried about his real intentions... Hope I'm wrong ...

Continue soon !!

thanks for that loooooooooong update. This story is very intense by theme and storyline and well worth the wait. 

I suppose you mean the parental rights storyline, that you had to fit in. Well, it fits very well into the overly dramatic weeks Brian is experiencing.

I'm glad Brian and Gus are safely back in the Pitts. Looking forward to the reappearing blond next chapter, too! TAG
