''In bed? In the boardroom?' Brian questioned, the only places he felt he was worth anything to anybody."
That was interesting. It made a great deal of sense of Brian's behavior at the dinner.
Loved the ending with them quickly leaving after their announcement.
Reviewer: no sleep (Signed) · Date: August 18, 2014 02:07 AM · On: Chapter 15
Loved that dinner party. I think it was very plausible that Brian was unable to define Justin as a boyfriend to his family.
Reviewer: Predec2 (Signed) · Date: August 18, 2014 12:30 AM · On: Epilogue
Hi, Erin! Finally had an opportunity to sit down and read this story. Really enjoyed it, too! Interesting twist on Eric getting into BDSM, but it really made perfect sense to me. A lot of twists and turns in this story to keep me interested. Thanks again for the enjoyable read. *Hugs* ~Kim
P.S. Added a little decoration, too, based on reader input.;) Maybe that will partly make up for the lost reviews when you accidentally deleted the story. Congrats.
Author's Response: I am so deleriously happy with getting my first blue ribbon. You made my day! Thanks Kim.
Reviewer: cricrijolie (Anonymous) · Date: August 17, 2014 09:10 PM · On: Epilogue
Thank you for this amazing au! I loved it and the ridiculously romantic ending a la Kinney ;) Nothing's easy for Brian but he's got what he needs most, Justin. I love how you kept Brian complex but so loveworthy and Justin, strong and ready to love him but not taking shit unnecessary either. Bravo!! A great au but with the characters that we know and love. Thanks for sharing your talent with us! Love, Christine xoxo
Reviewer: YumYumPM (Signed) · Date: August 17, 2014 06:47 PM · On: Epilogue
Actually this epilogue was perfection. It took a lot for Brian to admit that he cared and worried that he wasn't enough for Justin. The fact that they are doing it raw says a lot for their relationship and his saying that Justin is the love of his life and partner and that he wants to spend the rest of his life with him makes this all perfect.
Reviewer: Kathrin (Anonymous) · Date: August 17, 2014 03:35 PM · On: Epilogue
Yes, you managed it well. That's a perfect epilogue. It doesn't matter what the others are saying.
Reviewer: Flossee (Signed) · Date: August 17, 2014 08:42 AM · On: Epilogue
Oh, I love that Eric found a lifestyle that suited him, and now I think about it, it was always there. I like the way you wound that up.:) Brian in therapy, I like that as the method you used to help him with his relationship fears. I really, really enjoyed that you had him take Justin to Toronto, say his piece and leave; priceless. The whole fic was an absolute delight. Thank you so much for the entertainment Erin.
Cheers :)

Lovely epilogue I really enjoyed the growth you had Brian go though because so many authors go bam! Brian is suddenly a romantic who can talk about his feelings. This was the right amount of growth to end the fic thx
Reviewer: arakiss (Signed) · Date: August 16, 2014 09:49 PM · On: Epilogue
"it didn't matter what Brian's family had to say"
Well, finally :)
I never understood why Brian in the series could allow his friends such an unceremoniously interference concerning Justin.
You made a really good point - a low self esteem could do that to a person...
Very interesting story, thank you!

This was an amazing story. Lately I have been waiting for stories to be finished before I read them. What a wonderful evening I spent reading this beautiful story. I loved the way they met. I enjoyed their slow and building relationship. I also was very happy for the new characters and not the normal ones being around all the time. You are an amazing writer. Dee Dee
Author's Response: Thank you! You don't know how rewarding it is to hear complements like this. So happy you enjoyed it.
Reviewer: Kathrin (Anonymous) · Date: August 16, 2014 10:39 AM · On: Chapter 15
That's a wonderful story..
But I really hope that there is a long epilogue, because there seem to be a lot of open strings with Michael and Lindsay. I'm curious how you will end that.
Author's Response: I hope the epilogue is enough resolution for you. I wanted to focus on B/J story and not get too into the thoughts and motivations of Mikey and Lindsay. Thanks for your comment.
Reviewer: Jo (Anonymous) · Date: August 16, 2014 06:11 AM · On: Chapter 15

Reviewer: Flossee (Signed) · Date: August 16, 2014 05:31 AM · On: Chapter 15
Hey Erin :)
OMG, I love the realism you have put into this fic. I know some people don't admit when they are wrong and apologize, instead they use Brian's method, which you have captured beautifully. I'm glad he realized he couldn't fix things the way he normally would. I enjoyed the "babe" remark as that is what we are more likely to use here instead of "baby". Okay, I will admit I thought Brian was going to fuck Justin while they picked up the rental car and now I can't get that image out of my head as those counters are really high and it may have been possible to go unnoticed. LOL See where you send my imagination. :D
I'll be sorry to see this end as I have really enjoyed it my friend.
Cheers :)
Author's Response: Well the rental car scene would have been fun to write, now I wish I had used it instead. LOL Thanks for all your continued support.
Reviewer: bksbracelet (Signed) · Date: August 16, 2014 02:19 AM · On: Chapter 15
I am glad you had a blow up with Michael and Justin and Now Brian has to actually man up and show his family that Justin is first with Gus in Brian's life. I am glad you did not let Brian off the hook with a Justin fuck
Author's Response: My Justin isn't so easily swayed as canon. He's his own man, more like season 4-5 Justin. Glad you enjoyed it.
Reviewer: JAZZEPOET (Signed) · Date: August 16, 2014 01:32 AM · On: Chapter 15
Bring on the epilogue!!! ;)
Author's Response: You got it! It's posted.
Reviewer: YumYumPM (Signed) · Date: August 16, 2014 12:07 AM · On: Chapter 15
I'm sorry to hear that Daphne is boyfriendless. I am soooo glad that Brian said the words he'd been thinking. Now if you can just get him to convince Michael that Justin is in his life and he wants him there, so he'd better accept it or never see Brian again, I'll be happier than I already am with this story.
Author's Response: I hope the epilogue leaves you deleriously happy. I gave Daphne a new man (although just a mention) so you know she ends up just fine. Thanks for your comment.
Reviewer: bjlover8676 (Signed) · Date: August 15, 2014 11:46 PM · On: Chapter 1
Just an idea where you write an epilogue where Brian and Justin go back to the house and Brian makes sure that everyone knows in no certain terms that justin is his boyfriend. However I really enjoyed your story can't wait for more from you.
Author's Response: I hope the epilogue meets or exceeds your request. I am already working on a sequel to The Bet, look for it soon. I am also in love with Eric so I may have to write more with this universe just so I can keep him as a character.
Reviewer: no sleep (Signed) · Date: August 12, 2014 09:40 PM · On: Chapter 14
"This is so fucking perfect."
My head would still be spinning, LOL. Brian ask Justin to meet his mother and be his boyfriend all while on a perfect date and allowed him to F*** him. Now I can understand Daphne's pain. I'm jealous of Justin myself.
Sandra:)
Author's Response: Thanks Sandra. I did get a bit carried away with the romantic Brian. Glad you approve. I'm always jealous of Justin/Randy when I watch the show. Gale is so beautiful.
Reviewer: YumYumPM (Signed) · Date: August 12, 2014 03:36 PM · On: Chapter 14
Well, well, well. The perfect date. Brian actually wants Justin, enough that he admits they are boyfriends. Not only that he wants to show Justin off to Debbie. Will wonders never cease! Love this chapter.

Justin gave Brian an out on the sex-free part of the date and Brian didn't take it. This is not the Brian we know, but it is the one in your fic that we have come to love.

OMG "Cheers" that's my catch phrase, Brian needs to get his own. LOL Okay, please don't be one of those people that now thinks they have to explain what cheers means when you clink glasses, as I was just joking around. :)
"fine one date, no sex." That would be an interesting thought if I didn't just read how it turned out. LOL
Cheers :) Whoa; there's that word again. LOL
Reviewer: Flossee (Signed) · Date: August 12, 2014 12:57 PM · On: Chapter 8

Yep, there is no privacy during a hot air balloon flight, and yet there are plenty of marriage proposals during them.
Wow, swoon worthy. "I would like to call you my boyfriend" I am loving this version of Brian.
Now Brian's only dilemma is never being able to outdo this first date. However, Justin probably won't mind, as long as some of the dates end in the same manner as this one. LOL Woot, woot, toppy Justin. :D
Cheers :)

Oh, what a relief Brian is going to be alright. LOL Okay I knew because I have read it before. Justin's in for a surprise. Pucker up Sunshine. :))))
Cheers :)
Reviewer: Flossee (Signed) · Date: August 11, 2014 04:42 PM · On: Chapter 6
I liked the way you fitted classic Brian in at the end of this chapter. Poor Justin is going to get hurt, but I can't pretend I don't know it won't be for long. Phew. LOL
No worries about replacing the lost reviews I left. I know what that illusive 100 mark is like as at the moment I have a fic sitting on 94. Alas it is finished so it may never reach the magic number. LOL Still I can live in hope. :D
Hopefully others will replace their lost reviews for you also. Especially the authors that know what a thrill it must be to achieve that goal.
Cheers :)

What an enjoyable wedding. Meeting Craig and his new wife, who went to college with Brian. <snicker> A drunk Eric was a hoot, now that he's somewhat sober, he gives good advice. This is sort of a twist. Brian is usually the one who won't let himself be happy. The next chapter should be even hotter if what happens is what I think will happen.
Reviewer: Flossee (Signed) · Date: August 11, 2014 06:07 AM · On: Chapter 4
Booty call, traveling to work together, and Eric. Normally I would be anxious of what is to come, but happily I don't have to be. I'm enjoying going back over the earlier chapters.
Cheers :)
Author's Response: Thank you friend for going back and reviewing more chapters. I was really sad to lose the reviews and I had over 10,000 views. I always write for me but reviews are very validating and I wish more readers would take the time you have to share what parts you liked from each chapter. I am so glad you are enjoying it.
Thanks!

"That's impressive." Oh dear, Marcus was only commenting on Brian ownership of Kinnetik. LOL "I hope you fuck like you kiss" now that's more like something you would say to Brian Kinney. "He turned offering his hand to Brian to help pull him out" OMG that is so adorable. I really enjoyed this chapter as I'm sure you can tell.
Cheers :)

Yes, I remember this chapter well, Daphne hijacked the Thai food, funny; chewing gum over the buzzer and diverting the trick, I liked both of those actions, but sleeping with the officer to get Brian a ticket; not so much.
"Have we met?" "I don't think so" Oh yes, Brian is certainly hoping for Brownie points with Justin and Daphne answering as he did. LOL
Cheers :)
Reviewer: Flossee (Signed) · Date: August 10, 2014 11:48 AM · On: Chapter 13
Hey Erin
Yes, I know I'm out of reviewing order, but I didn't realize you had added a new chapter. Haha, Brian and Justin once again get caught. I love it that Eric got an eyeful and was philosophical about it. I'm loving Eric and I'm so happy you're not tempted to make him the bad guy. Daphne is devastated; I'm sorry, but I'm just not feeling sad for her.
Hurry back if RL allows, please.

I'm so sorry you lost all your reviews. :(((((((((( I can sort of relate as I lost over 43 reviews from "Define Normal", when the system crashed, which at the time was my best shot at reaching 100 reviews and I know you were aiming for that goal with this fic. I remember also that I promised to review each chapter so as I get the chance I will re-review for you.
I liked glancing back over this chapter as I had forgotten Brian was stuck in the elevator and where it all began.
