I love that they are trying to help Justin with his art and to help him get past him not being able to draw the nude form. 



Author's Response:

Justin will continue to have conflict with his now world and his beliefs, however I did enjoy writing a considerate Brian.  With Brian's familiarity of Bible quotes, thanks to Joan, he is finding it a little easier to understand his husband.  Who knew Joan would be such a help to these men? lol

Thank you once again for joining me with the fic.

Cheers

I really feel for Justin in this. I've been talking with my friends lately about social norms, and I love that you explored what his would be like within the Amish community.



Author's Response:

Hey Asroe :)

Thank you so much for this review.  Social norms; definitely an interesting subject.  I know people often ridicule what they don't understand and they expect conformity so a group or a society approve.  This was enjoyable to write as although Justin slowly adapted to some socially acceptable behaviors of the life he was thrust into, he never lost himself or his beliefs.  I could really get carried away talking about this subject, but I won't .LOL   I will just once again say thank you.  I love that you could see the real issue of this series.

Cheers :)

I love this verse so much. Justin is so damaged. You can't help but hate Craig and Jennifer. I hope to see more in this AU. 



Author's Response:

This verse is very emotional, which swayed me towards a humorous ending.  Justin continues to struggle, still Brian and he muddle through until they find some understanding of each other's viewpoint.  I enjoyed writing this as Brian being able to understand where Justin's thoughts originate from, and accept them, but he doesn't have to like them. 

Cheers :)

I wonder if Craig and Jennifer realize how much damage they did to this poor kid? They thought they were protecting him by bringing him up in an Amish community?? I think they are terrible parents and should be punished. I was enjoying this story as usual, as I neared the end I was getting that need to dash feeling so I began to read faster and thought I was finally getting my dream story, I thought it said a naked Ethan in a grave. When I returned and read slower I noticed the N and my comprehension skills kicked in graven isn't as thrilling as grave when referring to Ethan Gold. At least Brian got a little bit of something new so that earns you a few stars and a winking smile.

Author's Response:

OMG, you had me scurrying to see if I had written grave instead of graven.  LOL  I thought you were giving me a subtle hint that I had written it incorrectly. ;)

Okay, your secret is out (dream story); Ethan or anyone naked in a grave, isn't that some sort of fetish?  Are you telling the MW world something we don't know about you?  LOL 

"Brian got a little bit of something new"  Was that a rash from the dream sequence field plowing you refer to (as I hear that can be cleared up by a penicillin tart with seasonal berries), or the fellatio in front of a dead Ethan (new kink)?  LOL 

I love the fact you tried to read this quickly before you had to dash.  I hope all necessary dashing has now subsided. ;)

Cheers ;))))))

Hi, Flossee - I'm very late reviewing this story, but I have not been on the site too much in the past three weeks.  My father passed away unexpectedly on May 7, and was in the ICU unit before that, but I wanted you to know how much I enjoyed this latest installment in this series.  It was a nice diversion from my grief, and I like how Brian is so caring, sweet, and responsive to Justin's needs, and how he is willing to change his lifestyle out of his love for him.  I'm like Sandra - loved the part about him being unable to be apart from his husband, and how he came after him and carried him to the car.  I hope you will consider continuing this, possibly with a reunion between Molly and her brother. Thank you for this story.  ~Kim



Author's Response:

Hi Kim.   Commiserations on the passing of your father.  I'm sorry I wasn't aware; I had noticed you hadn't been on the site and I was almost going to contact admin and see if you were ill.  I didn't because I thought if you wanted people to know why you were away you would tell us.  Thank you for allow me to know.  I hope you have some cherished memories to see you through the sad times as I know words can't help at this time.  Saying you spent time in the ICU unit sounds like you were able to say goodbye, please treasure that.

I'm sorry I have taken so long to reply, but I have been on a short vacation before I revisit my surgeon who will tell me when my (hopefully final) operation will be.  I only had my iPad so I couldn't reply to any reviews; I apologize. 

Thank you for saying you liked this instalment and MW could be a small diversion for you.  I appreciate you telling me the part you liked as it allows me to know where a person connected with the fic, however I always knew you were a romantic; not letting Valentine's Day go by without acknowledging the boys with a fics. :D  Thank you also for saying you would like to see a continuance.  I appreciate you leaving this review Kim and I hope to see you back writing when you feel you are ready.

“Ethan Gold is going to have a front row seat to the historic event.”

As usual, I forget something. ;) I thought the last paragraph was a perfect ending and hilarious to boot. Keep up the good work!


Sandra:)

Author's Response:

Thanks Sandra, for coming back and commenting on the last paragraph and letting me know we shared a laugh.  I love it when someone has the same sense of humor as me.  Thank you also for the encouragement (perfect ending), it is very much appreciated and needed.  Yes, sometimes I can be a little needy. LOL 

Cheers :)

"I need my husband please."

How fitting that I’m reviewing this while listening to John Legend’s All of Me. How romantic that Brian would go through repressed sexual needs and desires to make his Justin comfortable and calling Lindsay in “need” of his husband was swoon worthy. And when Brian picked up a sleeping Justin and carried him to his Jeep… Not since The Notebook have I been so moved.

I would be the first to tell you, if not my husband, that I’m not generally the romantic type. I love James Bond movies, Action, Sci-Fi… So a romantic story had better be good enough to keep my interest. QAF captured me like no other TV show and discovering the fan fiction was only icing on the cake. It is stories like yours that keep bringing me back to the reason I fell in love with QAF, initially.

Author's Response:

"John Legend's All of Me" OMG I just listened to it.  Curves and imperfections LOL I can honestly say I had heard the song before, but I didn't know the words.  Thanks for that as I really like the song now I've listened to the lyrics and I will be adding it to my playlist.  "Repressed sexual needs and desires" I love your wording.   Now I have to watch the Notebook.  I have planned to watch it on several occasions and each time something interferes.

"It is stories like yours that keep bringing me back to the reason I fell in love with QAF, initially"; thank you so much, that is such a lovely statement.  I thought I was probably only one, of a very few, that found the show romantic all the way through, the undercurrent of romance was always visible to me and is the reason I kept watching.  I think it helped that the first episode I came across was the one ending with Brian and Justin standing in front of emergency vehicles and Brian finally professes his love.  Funny part: I didn't know at the time it took him 5 years to do so. LOL 

I truly appreciate your very kind words and that you took the time to review.  I can only apologize that I have taken so long to reply but I have been away on a short vacation and I didn't have any way of replying even though I could read MW on my iPad. 

Cheers :)

I would enjoy more in this universe.  Watching Justin adjust to Brian's world has been very enlightening.  You've done a great job in this universe and where your inspiration came from, I don't know but it has been a delight to read.

 

Keep it up



Author's Response:

Hey Sandy.  Thank you for saying you would like to see this continued.  I battle with knowing whether to continue or not.  I don't know if you can relate to this as your fics always do so well, but when you have a high read count and low reviews you wonder if people are enjoying your fic or not.  I appreciate you letting me know you are enjoying it and I really appreciate your very kind words, enlightening, and a delight to read, are two things I've never had said to me before; you have made my day.  I can't thank you enough.

Cheers :)

Just wait a few moments for me to come out of my sweet romance induce coma. This Brian is just going to kill me. I think both boys need some therapy to get over some of their odd behaviors. I must say your writing does challenge my senses and forces my mind to expand. Now if I could just convince certain Native American tribes that the writing contained on this website are not Porn I would be able to respond to your updates in a more timely manner. I feared for my life when that warning screen flashed before my eyes. I was sure I would be hauled off to a jail and tortured for my crimes. I just find it funny coming from a place that pushes gambling, alcohol and tobacco. Of course I wish you to continue on with this saga, I am very excited to hear more about the family that Justin was willing to leave behind. I think Craig and Jennifer need to have a very clear talk with Justin and explain his true heritage and ease his conflicts over how to be a happy healthy gay man. Maybe Emmett needs to take him away for a few weeks to learn the gay boy's handbook inside and out. I know Brian claims to be satisfied with the physical contact he's getting but I think he's going to need something a little more to keep him going. How many testicles does Brian have in this story? Maybe his testosterone level is very low right now. There has to be some reason. Oh no, do you think Brian was infected with a parasite from his brief trip to Amishland? I bet he's got a 12 foot long tape worm chewing up his sex drive. Thanks for keeping me entertained.
Lori

Author's Response:

LOL Thanks for keeping me entertained, your review is hilarious.  I'm really happy to hear from you as now I know you are not sitting in some dingy jail cell and it is entirely my fault. LOL   OMG can you call what I just wrote porn as I did use words like fellatio, manhood and alleviate his own desires.  Maybe "then the lover's rest heads on each other's shoulder while breathing in the all-consuming unadulterated love they share" was a bit risqué. LOL  I'm glad I am able to expand your mind, unfortunately it seems I am taking it in an uncomfortable direction.  I fear we are at opposite ends of the spectrum when it comes to a romantic Brian.  Although I always thought of Brian as romantic since the first episode I saw of QAF was two men standing in front of emergency vehicles where one declared his love while they embraced.  AWW.  Brian testicle count is unknown at this stage, however I will keep you informed if that information should come to hand.  See how there is no porn intended in this fic as I even managed to put, come and hand, in the same sentence and not in a sexual way.  :D Thanks for the laugh my friend.

Cheers :)

   I was happy to see this story continue.  After all, we now


know the characters fairly well. Then again, as shown in this


chapter/sequel – not really.  It is fun watching them resolve


differences. What is most notable to me is that they can and


do resolve them, each respecting the others point.


   Yes, I did mention it In my way in the feedback to “Define


Normal” that I believed that the Molly, Craig, Jennifer and


Justin relationship, whatever that now is, be resolved.  I think


Brian and Justin’s resolving of their difference are much easier


than the differences between the four Taylors.  Then again,


how will Brian fit in. We shall see.


   Thanks again for the story.


DavidR



Author's Response:

Hey David

"Then again, as shown in this chapter/sequel - not really".  I love this comment as I would hate for the men to become predictable.   That's a lovely thing to say; that you are having fun watching them resolve their differences and how they still manage to respect each other's point; I really appreciate those words.

I remembered you asking for the Taylor family issue to be resolved and Janet would like to see that also.  What is swirling around inside my head at the moment may not be everyone's ideal conclusion.  However, if the people reading this series let me know they want a continuance then I hope you will enjoy it, or at least understand where I have taken the characters and why.

Thanks again for your support David; I really appreciate your insightful words.  Thank you also for taking the time to review.

Cheers :)

Hi Flossee, Very well thought out piece, Justin is really struggling with this, and you portrayed that very well. Imagine, Ethan as a model, okay I really DON’T want to imagine that, haha.

“The smile grows even wider as Brian realizes Justin is about to perform fellatio on him right here on the settee and the painting of a naked Ethan Gold is going to have a front row seat to the historic event”

LOL, why am I picturing a scene from Ghost Busters 2 here, the scowl on the face in the painting keeps getting more and more ticked off and horns start to grow out of the forehead…… and Ethan’s face and body slowly morphs into Vigo’s. Okay, do you think I’ve had enough caffeine yet? Great chapter, my friend : ) Hugs ~ Janet



Author's Response:

Hey Janet

Thank you for all the help you have given me.  You don't know how many times I wrote "perform fellatio" and changed it to "give head" as I couldn't make up my mind whether or not I should use words that are familiar to QAF or keep the ambiance of the previous fics.  LOL   Isn't that just silly. 

Wow, that's a really old movie. LOL The image of Ethan morphing into Vigo is hilarious.  That painting looked like it was constipated most of the time. :D 

Thank you for your kind words of support and for taking the time to encourage me.

Cheers :)
