What about the lump

Brian had every right IMO to throw the wine over Vance, what an asshole. I love when Brian gets all protective over Justin. But what are they going to do now? :(



Author's Response:

That scene was a little self-indulgent.  I was a waitress for five years and I had SO many customers I wish I could have done that to.  But alas, I had to live vicariously through Brian lol.

And they'll figure something out. :)  Promise.

Thanks!

Doesn't look like Brian has hit rock bottom yet but, goodness knows, he'd have been justified in refusing to serve Vance, who's a total slimeball. One has to feel for Brian, who really has swallowed his pride.



Author's Response:

It had to be a big hit to his ego, right?  But you're right, it takes more to knock down the Great Brian Kinney.  ;)  Thank you!

Ack.  Things were looking up, now this.



Author's Response:

Lol Yeah that's kind of the theme of the story unfortunately.  But I don't believe in sad endings.  ;)

So I just read this all five chapters on a slow night at work and I can already tell that it is going to become one of my favorite fics ever written. It is so emotionally intense and raw. I am upset about how Brian pushed Justin off the cliff but god, he's going through such a rough time. You made it a little better by making him slowly accept that a job's a job but then Gardner walks in. Jesus, what an asshole. I didn't think he was that much of an asshole in the show since he did try to understand why Brian did what he did when it came to Stockwell but I can see him turning on him like this after Brian told him he was going to take his clients. I can't forgive him for having Brian blacklisted or calling Justin a slut though.Seriously, Gardner is a total asshole.

Every character is written so well. I am not a huge fan of character hate and you write them as human beings. Flawed, well-meaning, sometimes hurtful people. I absolutely love your approach. It breaks my heart to see Brian like this. Seeing him fall and feel absolutely worthless is so upsetting. I he needs to open up to someone. He has a problem when it comes to letting people take care of him and his situation is cutting into him deeper than anyone else can tell, including Justin. I really do think he has slipped into a deep depression that he can't find a way out of. When I am reading his despair and desperation, it makes me want to cry for him. I would be completely breaking down if I were in his position. I would say that he's strong since he hasn't started bawling like a baby yet but that would be much healthier than what he's doing now.

And I want to shake him for not getting checked out! I know he doesn't have insurance and I know that the weight would fall on Justin to take care of him but the sooner he does it, the less he's going have to worry about. Yeah, they'll be in debt due to his treatment and surgery but if the cancer just stays in the testicle then he'll be fine most likely. By waiting, he's letting it spread and that has me on wit's end.

Justin is also so heartbreaking here. He's trying so hard and believes in Brian so much but he's working himself to the bone trying to keep both of them afloat and pay Brian back for all that he's done. Part of me wants to tell Brian that it's okay that Justin takes care of him since it was the other way around for so long but Justin is 20 years old. He's a kid and it's hard to see him in this position. Three shifts a day is way too much and, just when things are starting to get easier on him, everything screws up again.

Seriously though, amazing job. I am so hooked to this already. I hate that I didn't find it until just now. However, since I took up writing my own stories, I barely give myself time to read other talented authors. I'm glad you've posted your story and this is an amazing first one to start out with. I have a story idea that revolves Brian suffering from depression but I'm not sure I'll be able make it as good as this. Can't wait to read the next chapter!



Author's Response:

Oh my god!  Thank you!  I had to read this like five times because it made me smile so much!  I can't believe you enjoyed it so much, but I'm so glad you did!  For one, I am not a fan of character hate either.  Sure, there are some I like more than others, but I'm not going to crucify any of them just because I don't like that.  I hate it when people write someone out of character just for a story - it makes it less believable for me.  So I appreciate that you like the way I did it.

As for Brian's cancer, it's frustrating the way he handles it, isn't it?  He is a stubborn man and believes that because there's nothing he can do about it, he might as well do nothing.  On the other hand, keep in mind that I'm focusing more on his relationship with Justin rather than the cancer.  So it'll be in the background more than anything.

And when I was writing these last few chapters I kept thinking to myself that I as being so mean to Justin - and he's my favorite!!  But not only is his support of Brian good for Brian, but I think in the long run it'll be good for him.  Yes he's so much younger than Brian - still a kid in many ways - but since this is an AU I'm excluding many of the things in the show that helped him mature and thus I needed other means to do that.  They're a bit cruel...but hey, gotta keep it interesting, right?  

Thank you SOOO much!!

Damn this is bleak! And not just the humiliation of the job situation but the health issue Brian is so successfully ignoring. I have to wonder how he even cares whether he's employed or not, when he knows he's probably dying. Man, Justin's gonna be pissed off when he finds out..!



Author's Response:

Brian is very good at being stubborn - especially about things he can't change.  Unfortunately, his health is something he can't fix right now.  As for Justin finding out...we'll Just hve to see about that.  Thank you!
