It was an amazing story! I really love the way you write, you have a beautiful style? The story captivated me right from the start. I never hated Ethan, though I did dislike him, and you managed to show that he’s just a human, not some evil monster. He made a big mistake and now he has to pay for it. Anyway, Justin wasn’t for him, so maybe this will help him in future – maybe when he meets His person, he won’t screw up again and will appreciate what he has.

I loved seeing Brian through his eyes. You mentioned him just a few times but I could just see the overwhelming love he has for Justin. Just like Ethan could.

Thank you, it was brilliant!  I hope your exam went well :)

Thank you honey- it went very well! 86%! 

Yes- Ethan was never a monster. Portraying him that way is actually insulting to Justin. It implies that Justin is so weak that he easily came under Ethan's "malign" influence. This is nonsense, and just bad writing as far as I am concerned. Critique Ethan if you want, but be fair. Justin CHOSE him. Justin was 19 years old,a dn more than capable of deciding what he wanted- that's why Brian let him go without a word. I really dislike how Ethan was thrown under the bus in 3x08 adn wanted to write a better ending for him where he acknowledges where he went wrong. In retrospect, I should have added something about how his pretending to be straight signalled the end of their relationship, as that is a key factor. The cheating was simply the excuse Justin needed to get away. I wanted Ethan not to be left in tears in his apartment like in 3 x 07, but understand that he made a mistake, and that Brian really did love him. I am glad you felt Brian's love. I didn't want him to overpower the story- which is difficult for me, seeing how Brian is my number one favourite character in the show! The older drafts of this story had very long paragraphs about Brian that were really just me waxing lyrical about him, and not very relevant to Ethan's life in general, so I cut them way back only to include the bare essentials. Very glad you enjoyed it, thank you! :)
