Very excited to see if Brian is able to give up his lifestyle and become monogamous with Justin. They got so close on the show. I love your writing style! You never fail to get me very invested! 

Author's Response:

This is OOC and AU so I could have fun with the monogamous part.  They did get close in the show and I think most of us want to believe they obtained monogamy once the show finished.  Thank you that is a beautiful and very rewarding thing to read about you becoming invested.

Cheers :)))

"You have premarital sex, with numerous partners; your body is unclean."

That was a shocker!

It had been so long that I had to read from the beginning again, but I enjoyed this even more. I had missed that dance somehow and could see how utterly romantic that was. And I was shocked here thought for sure Justin had no inhibitions after presenting himself nude to Brian earlier. This was a very interesting chapter.

Oh, I wanted to respond earlier to a question but the sight disappeared and now I don't quite remember what was asked, but I say life is too short and do only what you love. My time is severely limited now to RL issues. I even bought DVDs of Spartacus on Black Friday and have only gotten through the second season and haven't even cracked open Game of Thrones. I gave up TV a long tine ago for fanfiction, but I have gradually gotten back into it. But it is also stories like this one that keeps me away form TV. :)

I'm happy you thought that line was shocking and the explanation of not judging in chapter 4 was believable. 

"Thought for sure Justin had no inhibitions after presenting himself nude to Brian earlier" I'm really thrilled you found this chapter interesting as I was hoping the reader would make up their own minds on whether Justin would have wanted Brian or not.  One reader (unfortunately the review is lost) said they thought Justin would have wanted Brian, and I would probably agree with that.   

Thank you so much for those very kind words "stories like this one that keeps me away from TV".  Last night I sat at my computer and tried to edit chapter six again since I had done some editing direct to MW and hadn't saved it.  I literally sat with a bucket by my feet as I was feeling poorly, but I don't want people thinking I am trying to dragging my reposts out and I hope the final chapter isn't too far away.  I have decided with the response in some reviews, along with the kind people who have put this fic in their favourites (which you are one; thank you so much) and the people who put me on their favourite authors list that I can't be boring everyone. LOL   I was overwhelmed that some people, I didn't even know read my fics, reviewed to support me and I can't thank them enough.  I probably will continue to post if my health issues can be resolved.  However, if they can't, I will still try and support MW and the other authors if possible.  I do love writing these characters; I just thought I was wasting my time posting my stories. 

I know this is a little off track; I tried watching Spartacus, but it was to bloody for me.  I hope you're enjoying it.   I wanted to watch it even more when I realized ‘mandagrammy' has a crossover and I think that would be a great era to write Brian and Justin, but I find you do lose a lot of the story if you don't understand both worlds. 

I hope you don't think I haven't noticed.  Thank you so much for the smiley face.  :) ;) xD

Hi, Flossee - sorry you lost so many reviews.  I know how that feels!  But I wanted you to know that I did enjoy your story, particularly how Brian cared for Justin here and his reactions to all his new experiences out in  the 'big, bad world.' I hope you will consider posting another story in the future when the inspiration hits you again.;)  ~Kim

Author's Response:

Hey Kim.  I must say I am having trouble getting excited about reposting this fic.  I loved writing this and it is probably my favourite fic that I have written as I tried a new writing style; holding back on the humour and sex to portray the storyline.  While the reviews are no longer there I actually miss the interaction with the readers.  They are the ones that keep me on track and give me a laugh (I lost all my smiley faces) :( :( :( they are the reason I post what I write.  I have been writing the whole time MW has been down and still I can't get these AU, OOC characters out of my head. LOL  I assume you can relate to that.  I will definitely finish posting this part of the story.  All seven chapters, which I have to edit since I did some editing direct to MW.  Silly me. xD  You have to laugh as I thought my post fics days were over and fate dictates otherwise.  LOL  Life is fun and sometimes funny.  Thanks for the review; I know we are all in the same situation with the reviews, but it's nice to know some people are reading the fic again.

Cheers
