OK, so today I decided to come finish reading this story... but finishing it wasn't enough. I treated myself to re-reading the entire thing from start to finish! And I fell in love with it all over again.
As much as I love your confident young Justin, I love the mature Justin too. I love Brian and Jen at the dinner table and Justin's reaction too!
But I must admit, I never saw the Hobbs twist. I figured there was something going on with Tamara, but I didn't catch on until Lindsay did! Somehow, I think it truly is poetic justice.
Author's Response: Oh, wow! You read the whole thing again? I'm so glad you liked it that much. Thanks for all the nice comments along the way, too.
I'm happy you were surprised with the Hobbs twist. I think it makes for more interesting reading if you don't see it coming. It truly is poetic justice, I agree!!

Hi, Linda! As I mentioned on your LJ, I was so delighted to see you complete this story, which has been in my mind for a long time. And to write in 2nd person takes a skill that not every writer has, but you've done it well. That part with Hobbs' wife was a nice twist!
I know you mentioned a sequel on your LJ (which I hope you will post on MW, too, BTW, when the time comes - hint, hint); I do hope you will consider that, and if it doesn't involve Hobbs' reaction to finding Justin's painting when he gets home, I would love to see a short one-shot regarding that as well. Talk about poetic justice!
Thank you again for this emotional, poignant story. :) ~Kim
Author's Response: Thank you so much, Kim. It's nice to know you enjoyed the end of this story that took me so long to write. I don't know if you saw the post in my Live Journal where I explained what's been happening in my RL that kept me from being able to write.
I would like to do a sequel to this story, and if I do, I will post it here om MW. I'm just worried that I will need help on the new site because I am not very swift when it comes to computer technology. But good to know you will help me if I need it. Thanks for that!
Thank you again for reading and leaving nice feedback on this story. That means so much to me.

What an ending. I'm just wondering how much Tamara knows about her husband's past with the artist of the pricey painting she bought. I'd like to think she did and is lording it over Hobbs. I look forward to rereading this story over again.
Author's Response: Hope you liked the ending. I know most people figured out she was Hobbs's wife before the epilogue was posted. but I thought it was funny how it was revelaed. I'm honored that you'd like to read the story again. I think it would make so much more sense if it is read continuously. The huge time gap between chap 9 and chap 10 getting posted couldn't be helped, but it really wrecked the flow of the plot.
In my mind, Tamara has no clue of her husband's past. I guess Hobbs coming home and finding a painting in his home by the classmate he'd nearly killed could be a fic in itself.
Thanks for reading and leaving all the nice comments. It means the world to me.

LMBO! Let me "guess" Tamara's hubs name is CHRIS, right?
Author's Response: LOL Yes, you've guessed it. It's revealed in the epilogue, but most people guessed it in the last 2 chapters.
Thanks for the comment.
Reviewer: YumYumPM (Signed) · Date: December 10, 2016 03:14 PM · On: Chapter 10
Totally interesting chapter. I just have one question. Tamara's last name wouldn't by chance be Hobbs. That would be a twist.
Author's Response: Hi! So glad you're still reading this story, and I'm sorry it took so long to finish. I made a post on LJ about why it's been 2 years between updates.
I think everyone has figured out by now who Tamara's husband is. LOL Your guess isn't wrong. The epilogue will be posted in a day or two, and everything will come full circle and get wrapped up with a nice little bow.

Lol the boys so enjoyed being together and getting horny over money
Author's Response: Hi, Chris!
Yeah, they were horny over the money, but also because the painting would finally be out of their loves. LOL

Hey, I just read every chapter of this story you've written so far and I just love it!
It's the only story I've read where you can see episodes of Justin's childhood. And I always wanted to know how he became friends with Daphne.
Brian and Justin are so in character here, you did such a great job.
I can't wait to read more! :)
Author's Response: Thank you so much for this lovely comment. I'm happy you found my story and love it.
Justin's childhood is so fun to write. I took canon and just expanded on it a bit. LOL
There is only one more part to the story, and it's already written. The Epilogue will be posted in a day or two.

Author's Response: Thank you so much for the comment. I really appreciate it.
Tamara's husband will be revealed in the Epilogue to the fic, which will be posted in a day or two. (But I'm sure everybody knows by now that you're not wrong in your guess. LOL)

Wow! I really like the way you've incorporated flashbacks to different periods of Justin's life throughout this story. I want MORE! Please continue this story.
Is Tamara's husband Hobbs? It seems likely with painting of the prom/bashing now in a back room of the gallery. Fantastic the way that painting became the housekeeper repellant at Britin.
I also want to know more about why Brian didn't want Justin to return to the Pitts...or how Justin may have misinterpreted the conversation.
Getting close to flashbacks of B&J's meeting, too. And the start of the bullying at St. James.
Author's Response: Again, I apologize for taking so long to respond. This comment makes me so happy. I love your interest in this story and promise you it is still being written. RL has been unbelievably hectic and crazy this past year, but chap 10 is almost completed.

Can I admit to being totally confused as to what's happening here? Why wouldn't Brian want Justin to come home? And what does Justin’s coming back mean for our boys? I can't wait to find out.
Author's Response: I'm so sorry - didn't mean to confuse you at all. I have a habit of setting up a plot development in one chapter and not resoving it until the next chapter. But all will be reavealed by the end of the story, which will probably be in the next chapter (10).

So sad about Sidney. But at least Gus gets to stay with them. What's going on with Lindsay and Mel? Not to mention housekeepers? Great chapter!!!!
Author's Response: Yeah, Sidney's passing was a sad event, but Brian, Justin, and Gus are all happy that Gus is living there with them now.
Lindsay and Mel seem to have fallen out of love, and the housekeepers . . . well, they're freaked out by the gory painting that Brian wasn't thrilled about hanging over their bed ending up in the butler's pantry.

Bloodstained painting???? Now I'm way too curious to wait for the next update.
Author's Response: Just to clear things up, the emotional, bloodstained painting is the one that Justin was painting when the fic started out - the one that Brian wasn't thrilled about hanging over their bed when it was finished. They took it down and out of their bedroom, but it wasn't said where it ended up until this chapter.

Hi, Linda! Great to see a new chapter of this. I loved the baner between Gus, Brian, and Justin about keeping the hired help, and letting Gus cook.:) I think you're doing a great job of bringing out all their emotions. And I still don't know how you write in 2nd person so fluidly; I would find that difficult to do, but you do it well.:) Looking forward to the next part. *Hugs* ~Kim

I'm happy to catch up with this fic, but sad I don't have any more chapters to read. I love the little touches like Brian being able to accept a thank you. I'm so pleased he was able to step in and help Meg and I like his reason. It's great that you have added pieces like throwing Gus out; that is such a teenage thing to do. Very nicely done, please hurry back in RL allows.

I knew I would love this format; it's like three fics in one. I thought Brian was going to pay a surprise visit and turn up at the restaurant. What a pity Justin ruined his surprise. I really liked Brian not wanting to sleep in their bedroom because of the painting bringing back memories which both men seen from a different viewpoint. I can't wait to read on.

Hi, Linda! Still enjoying this story immensely. I am very impressed by how you can continue to write in second person as I mentioned before. I think that is very hard to do. And I love Meg's character; kind of reminds me of Debbie in some ways. I am also captivated by the snippets of a younger Justin interwoven into your story.
Will as always be looking forward eagerly to the rest of this unique story. Thank you for sharing it with us. *Hugs* ~Kim
Author's Response: Oh, thank you, Kim. So happy you're still reading and enjoying this story. Writing in 2nd person is turning out to be pretty fun. It's surprisingly easier than I thought it would be.
I agree, Meg is similar to Debbie in a lot of ways. My intention from the beginning was to make her a likeable character, flaws and all. LOL
Your feedback is valuable and much appreciated.

"I was looking forward to getting reacquainted."
I always wondered what happened to Simon, LOL.
That was some observation Gus had about his mother and Brian. It seems almost that is Brian's wife and Justin is his lover. if Lindsay was a man or Brian was straight, they would probably had been together.
I'm still loving the way this story is written.
Author's Response: Oh, yeah, Simon's still on the prowl and wants Justin in the worst way. LOL
Brian and Lindsay have a strong bond, but Brian and Justin have so much more. Gus just needed to have it confirmed by Justin for his world to sense again.

Yes, we have a lot of plot details cropping up - Don 't worry, they've all been placed in this chap for a reason and will be developed in the coming chaps. Believe it or not, this story only has 3 more chapters. It's all planned out in my head.
Sorry so much time elapses between updates. It's not that I abandon the story for months at a time and then write it. No, it's just a matter of me being a pathetically SLOW writer. LOL I work on it almost every night. It just takes me forever to get each chapter the way I want it.

Brian and Justin's reunion was so emotional and meaningful and hot! All the things I was waiting to read, yay! I love how you're filling in all the gaps, and the way you write their relationship is perfect. Seeing Justin "queen out" at his own 30th birthday bash was quite hilarious. You seem to flit effortlessly and perfectly between these three time periods of Justin's life, and I can't for the life of me decide which one is my favorite. maybe New York, or maybe Britin. Can't decide.
Author's Response: Again, I'm so sorry for the late response. This comment is just beautiful to read. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for such wonderful feedback.

Reviewer: sarahyellow (Signed) · Date: March 14, 2014 04:18 PM · On: Chapter 4
So now I kind of know what the painting was! Like three images in one I suppose? And it's so interesting because I suppose that that is the one thing Justin had left to find out about Brian really (that he stayed at the hospital). I also want to say that I'm jealous of how you seem to think up all these little realistic details about Justin's art life. I have little to no knowledge about fine art or the fine art world, and when I want to include snippets of Jusitn and his art in my stories, I feel like my comments and details are poorly thought out and one dimensional, maybe not even reflective of how the art world really is. But not with you! That was a very logical move for Meg to suggest Justin enroll as a senior at the university. The pieces really seemd to fall into place.
Author's Response: I'm so sorry for not responding to this lovely comment before now. I don't know how I missed it, but it makes me so happy to hear how much you like this story. It means the world to me to read a comment like this. Thank you very much for taking the time to detail these things. Very motivational.
Reviewer: sarahyellow (Signed) · Date: March 12, 2014 02:08 PM · On: Chapter 1
Okay, so now I'm obviously thinking that something bad happened to Justin when he was away in New York. I like that you show Craig's good and bad moments as a father, and it's interesting to see such an early part of Jusitn's life protrayed. I love seeing *married* JustinBrian depicted, and I wonder how much this emotional turmoil invades their lives at Britin.
This story is very artful and appears to be well-thought-out. I like it a lot so far! And I like the POV that you chose.

" I remember everything now."
This was the best prom remembering that I have ever read. It was brilliant the way he pieced together that night, and the subsequent nights of Brian's vigils, in the painting.
Author's Response: Thanks so much for the awesome comments. I really appreciate them.
My logic concerning the painting was that he'd spent so many nights in the depths of despair painting only the negative aspects of that night that something dislodged and suddenly opened up what had been blocked for so long.

I think I read this on another site, but this was worth a second read. Your details are so on target with providing an insight into Justin's character. The glimpses of past and present flow flawlessly together without becoming confusing. But I enjoy the little things the best, like Justin's obsession with colors and his box of 64 crayons as a child and Brian's snuggling and sharp wit. And the pictures provided are an added bonus.
Well done!

Very creative of Justin to use the canvas to release and vent his pain. That just seems like a Justin-like thing to do. And... as much as I enjoy a flippant and hard-headed Brian; even more I enjoy to see that vulnerable side he projects when Justin is in despair. Few things are more moving than that.
A very moving and thought provoking chapter. Thank you!
Author's Response: Hi! Thanks for taking the time to read and leave this awesome feedback. I really appreciate it and was dying to get your opinion, as we talked about last night. LOL
I thought it was a logical step for Justin to take to use his painting for an outlet for his pain. Glad you liked that part.
And we see a tender side to Brian in canon where Justin's problems are concerned, so I don't think it's too far OOC for him to wanrt to be there for his husband now. I agree, it's very moving.

“You're transported to a place in time when physical and psychological limitations ruled your days.”
I’ve read a few fics based on the psychological aspects of Brian Kinney’s personality and have enjoyed them. Not much has been written on Justin’s. He is not deemed the complex figure Brian presents, yet there is a notable change in him post bashing and as he grew older. I love that you have taken the time to write something, even if it’s somewhat non-canon, about Brian’s partner. I love seeing snippets of Justin as child and his relationship with his parents and I also love Meg’s character.
Author's Response: Thank you again. Glad you liked this chapter, too. I think it's realistic that Justin would still have issues with anguish, pain, and anger stemming from his bashing even many years later. (In the present in this story he's 29.)
It's fun to take the few tidbits we're given in canon about Justin's childhood and expand on them until they become part of this story. Glad you love the snippets.

Nice job!
Author's Response: Thank you so much! I really appreciate you taking the time to leave this wonderful feedback. I'm happy to know you like the story this much.
Yeah, Meg is under the impression that Justin holds a degree from PIFA when she first meets him. Then you read what happened in chap 3 - she wanted Josh to give him the NYU enrollment forms.

Hi, Sweetie! Finally got an opportunity to read this latest chapter. I love this tender side of Brian, and having Justin express his pent-up emotions on canvas regarding his bashing was a great idea. In fact, I'm not sure that I've ever seen that addressed in this way before, so kudos! Really liked the last line of this chapter as well.
I'll be looking forward to reading the rest of your story! *Hugs* ~Kim
Author's Response: Hi Kim, Thanks so much for reading and leaving this great feedback. I like the tender side of Brian, too. I tend to write him this way in a lot of fics! LOL
The story probably didn't flow too smoothly for you from the chap you left the other comment on (chap 1) to this one (chap 3). Chap 2 kind of bridges the gap between them.

Wow.....Craig is definitely showing the early signs of his wanting to control what kind of man he thinks Justin should be, even though he was quite accomplished at such a young age.
In the present, Justin is still suffering so much emotional trauma from his bashing that it's heartbreaking. Maybe putting his emotions on the canvas is the only way for him to truly get past it.
More soon please~JP
Author's Response: Thank you so much for reading and taking the time to leave this wonderful feedback. I really appreciate it. Yeah, Craig seems to be a piece of work, even in Justin's youth.

i love how you continue to go through the different periods of his lifetime. still wondering what the mystery is....getting a bit worried!
Author's Response: Thank you so much for this great review. Glad you're liking the story. Didn't mean to worry you - Brian will dig until he gets answers.

Oh my what a little tease you are to leave us on the cliffs edge like that lol. I'm not sure how I feel about Meg right now, something about her just rubs me the wrong way a little. Don't get me wrong, she doesn't seem like she is out to hurt Justin in any way but still there is something.
I can't wait to see how this story begins to unfold and ultimately how Brian and Justin handle their separation,and what lengths they are willing to go to in order to stay together.
Please update soon~JP
Author's Response: Sorry - didn't mean to tease. Thank you so much for this great feedback. I really appreciate it. I love everything you've brought up. Getting the answers will be the fun part!

Most intriguing. Each glimpse into Justin's past is special, but all seems to be leading to something. I wonder what? Where are you taking us? And what is it that Justin has yet to tell Brian? I know that we'll find out in future chapters, but I want to know NOW!!!!
Author's Response: Thank you so much for this great feedback. I'm glad you're finding it intriguing and want to know what's up with Justin. All will be revealed. Don't worry.

Author's Response: Thank you so much. "Well written" is music to my ears. I'm so happy that you can't wait for more. Chap 2 will be up soon.

"Talk to me. What is it?"
This first two chapters were very gripping. I'm dying to know what is going on.
Loved that aunt and love the banner!
Author's Response: Thank you so much for the sweet feedback. All will be revealed in the coming chapters. I have to admit I'm in love with the banner, too. Tatjana Yurkina is absolutely wonderful in creating them.
Yeah, that aunt . . . we haven't seen the end of her. LOL

I'm loving this story so far. I am curious though as to what Justin could be painting that takes such an emotional toll on him. Is he painting out his feelings about leaving Brian for New York? Could it be that he's reliving his bashing? I can't wait to find out.
Update soon please~JP
Author's Response: Thank you so much for this great feedback. I'm happy you can't wait to find out what Justin's going through. Next update will be posted soon.

Hi, my friend - so glad to see this posted on here.;) Tanya did such a fantastic job with your banner, too, and that photo of a young Justin sitting amongst all the paint supplies is hysterical! Looking forward eagerly to more of this - and to seeing you again in June! *Hugs* ~Kim
Author's Response: Hi, Kim. Yeah, Tanya outdid herself with my banner. It's so perfect for the story. Isn't 3 yr. old Justin just adorable? LOL
June is rapidly approaching - see you soon!
