Hello Allois! 

 

This was a great chapter. I'm very impressed with how you're driving the story. I love the way you write! 

 

I feel so divided on everything that is happening. I Love Justin (Always!) and am a big advocate of love he and Brian shared, but I'm very sad because of Aidan. 

 

I really like Aidan (and I blame you for that) and breaks my heart to see him so badly. The loss of his sister was very difficult for him and I can not understand why he did not seek Brian to help him, since he was alongside Brian to when Joan died. It is sad to see that the death of Olivia is taking Aidan to make decisions and adopt attitudes that later he may regret. 

 

I do not have problems seeing sex scenes of Brian with other men (including him as a liability), I did not like reading this, but I have many gay friends and I know that through them in a significant relationship (Oh, God ! so I'm thinking so on about Brian / Aidan!) there is no such immutable determination between active and passive. It's all a matter of confidence and from what you wrote, we can see what it means for Brian and how he trusts in Aidan (God is myself who is writing this?). It is difficult to see how Aidan managed to get so close to Brian. I can not help feeling bad about Justin. I'm sorry for this .

 

I believe Brian is living a moment of peace and tranquility that he never lived in all his life, but I wonder if this peace and tranquility makes Brian truly happy? 

 

I liked to know how was life for everyone after those five years. And I'm very curious about the way of how you will bring Justin back to life all of them. Does Justin can again fit into your "family"? Are they ready to welcome him back? As Brian will react to the return of Justin? And Aidan? 

 

I know that only you have the answers and I'm eager to know them well. 

 

A big hug from Brazil, my dear!

Fátima.

Hi Fatima!

it's so good to hear from you :) thank you again to read and comment this story, as I know you are a real brian/ Justin fan.

This story is not an easy ride, you're absolutely right. Between the emotions we feel for Brian and for Justin, Aidan's life and his involvement with Brian, I know it's a little too much in a way. And It's not finished...:( Justin is going to come back soon. It won't be simple of course. But I really hope readers will feel this story, even sad at times, is really about love all along...

So, a big thank you for your support. I will do all I can to do justice to all characters, all through the end ...

*big hugs from France*

Hello))) I could not not to comment on this one........... Wow!!! It is really intense..... And hard to predict....... It is like reading some detective story while guessing what is going to happen to your favorite characters next... I might as well have some suspicions of who was that man in the gallery or of the reasons he did this small talk with J... But I am sure I would never guess it right anyway, so I just better wait till the next chapter)))  I must admit, having an early start tomorrow,  yet I could not go to bed without writing you this short comment and thank again for a great plot. I also wanna thank you for even considering to have two endings for this story. I must say, it is very toughtful of you! I myself would LOVE you to do this! As I used to love B/J long ago, but I have fallen for B/A now as well, all thanks to you btw)) I would be thrilled to read B/J happy ending one day, when I know that I can read B/A happy ending another day))) There is nothing wrong to wanna have both.......... I guess))) Thanks for your great work and please keep posting! Cant wait)))

Another amazing and deeply emotional chapter. Not that I would expect anything less from you. The first part of this chapter was delightful :)

But now, my heart is breaking for Brian, knowing that Aidan's going to leave him. I knew it was inevitable in the end, but that doesn't make it any easier since I've grown to love Aidan, and the B/A dynamic. Oh Brian. Poor guy can't catch a break with the men he gives his heart to. I wish I knew what Aidan was and is thinking, as he's obviously shaken from his sister's death.

As always, I will have to endure the torturous wait for the next installment. I don't think you have any idea just how excited I was first thing this morning to see that you updated. Clearly I am addicted.

Hi Tiffany,

I'm glad you like it :) And you're right, the next chapters are not going to be easy, for anybody :(

We will know more about Aidan's thoughts at this particular time, at one point or another ;)

Also, thank you so much for your kind words Tiffany, you're one of the most fervent supporter of this story since the beginning, and it means a lot...I'm very happy you're addicted ;)

* big hugs!*

Damn...this is probably the most emotionally charged chapter yet. Olivia's death really shook Aidan to the core and caused him to rethink his relationship with Brian. So this is why he visited Justin in Paris...to tell him not to waste the chance to let Brian know how he feels before it's too late for him to do so. I can't wait to see Justin’s POV.

Btw: I'm glad you put the warning in place, truthfully I was a bit uncomfortable with Brian bottoming for Aidan (that's my own personal hang-up though lol)

Author's Response:

Hi Tamara!

I love your thoughts on this. I'm not going to say anything yet about the fact that you might be wrong or right ;). All will be revealed in due time. (I know, I'm evil lol)

Justin's POV will be in two, three chapters top I think. For now, we are going to follow what is happening in Pittsburg during the period January 2014 to June(?) 2014 (not sure yet). After that, I promise you Justin will be here to stay ;)

I'm also glad the warning was usefull!

Thank you Tamara!

*big hugs!*

Another great but sad chapter. I know this is the start of the B/A ending. I don't know what Aidan realized when his sister died. Must be some form of epiphany that you should be with the one you truly love while you're still both alive or something. Well, I'm sure you will devote at least a chapter on what and how Aidan has reached his decision. Funny, Brian loses twice to New York. I know the B/J shippers are now happy with your story but don't let them stop you from writing more stories where Brian becomes happy with someone else. Like I said before, you can have two endingd for this - but I guess it's not in your plans. Thanks for this chapter.

Author's Response:

Hi! That's funny, as another reader just left me a review to let me know that she wasn't happy with this chapter, because Aidan seemed more important to Brian than Justin . It seems people are going to be disappointed either way ;/

Thank you so much for your kind words. I really don't know if I will write another story, but if I do, it will be a B/J story I think. Writing Brian/other is exhausting... However, I could eventually revisite this verse in the future, and maybe write an alternate ending if many readers wanted me to give a happy ending to B/A.

As for Aidan's revelation... We will know at one point, but I'm not sure when yet...

Anyway, thank you for sharing your thoughts with me, as always,

*hugs*
