Kudos to you for this story. I hope that you as the artist/writer started to heal yourself.
Brian's support of Justin was beautiful, as was his recognition that Justin would continue to need that support and that Brian would be there to provide it.
Author's Response: It actually helped a lot. It was cathartic and the responses I got were so wonderful. Thank you!! :) :)

WOW! WOW! WOW! I have lump in my throat after reading this. What a beautiful well written story. How you can write something so heartwrenching yet for me so heartwarming at the same time is amazing. I love your future Brian and Justin relationship... so loving and in tune with each other. Loved the ending.
I'm surprised that this didn't get one of those blue ribbons on the story. I would definitely vote for it. It is that good. I would give this 10 stars out of 10. I'm adding it to my favorite stories on my reader so I can read it again. I thank you for deciding to share it. One of the best one shots I've read in a long time.
Author's Response: Oh my god, thank you! I'm so flattered and am glad you enjoyed it so much!

Beautifully written story.
Very courageous to share so much of yourself. I hope it leads you to some sort of resolution & inner peace.
Author's Response: I'mg lad you thought so. It was definitely scary - especially because I wasn't sure it was going to help. But I feel so much better than I did before. Especially when I received such kind hearted messages from people. It was a pleasant surprise. Thank you so much for your kind words, and know that I really appreciate them.

Beautiful story. Thank you for sharing.
Author's Response: Thank you. Ultimately I wanted love and support to be the prevalent theme, not the abuse - because that's what I needed to feel.

Tough subject matter, very well written. Hope writing it helped you.
Author's Response: Thank you. I know it isn't easy or pleasant, but it's real. And it did - I feel so much better now, like my head has been lifted from a fog. I appreciate the kind words so much.

This was riveting. The same thing happened to me when I was 8. I had to go to therapy and write a story to help with my betterment. It helped some, but I still have it in the back of my mond and in my subconcious. I hope it was cathartic for you. It is a painful subject at best. Thank you for writing it.
Author's Response: I'm sorry to hear that it has happened to you, but I'm glad that someone really understands what happened to me - if that makes sense. It's hard to describe to people how you can be normal for such a long time, and then all of a sudden it's there in your head and it's all you can think about...I hope you find peace as well and know that I'll be thinking about you. Thank you for sharing with me, and being able to understand why I did this.

sad but happy Justin has Brian I don't think he would move past it on his own I hope you have some one like that to help you move past it even if you have to pay for it with a therapist I hope there is someone to help you move on
Author's Response: Having a support system is key. I do have a great brother who has always listened to me when I've needed to rant about this, and I've even gone to a therapist off and on since it happened. But sometimes not even that is enough - you know? I'm sure one day I'll have moved on and not think about it at all, but for now, I need things like this for when I get extra down about it. Thank you for your kind words and thoughts - they mean more to me than you know.

I can not begin to imagine how you must feel but it takes a lot of courage to write such an emotionally charged story. I honestly hope it helps you cope with all you have to go through.

Author's Response: It was hard to write it, let alone post it. I was afraid of what people might think, or say, but I'm glad I did. I feel amazing - and am so surprised by the support I've received. Thank you so much for your kind words, they mean so much to me.

A start on the path to reclaiming inner peace I hope. Emotional and believable -well written.
Author's Response: Yes it was. I already feel much better and more like myself. I'm glad you enjoyed it and respected it for what it was. It means so much to me. Thank you!

Wow excellent fic thank you and I hope it provided some healing benefits for you
Author's Response: I'm glad you thought it was good, and yes. It did. I feel much better - my mind feels freer and I feel lighter in general. It was frightening to do, but I'm glad I did it and I am amazed at the kind thoughts and words I've received from people. Thank you so much.

This says it all. I'm glad that you portraid Jennifer the way you did. It wasn't right then and it's not right now. You did a good job of writing this, but nothing really takes away the pain.
Author's Response: Thank you - oddly enough Jennifer's reaction was basically the same as my father's. He brushed everything under the rug and to this day - almost twenty years later - I still hold resentment against him for it. I don't think I'll ever understand why he did what he did, but doing things like this helps a lot, so thank you for your understanding. I appreciate it so much.

Beautifully done. Very realistic. I cried when I read this story. The only thing that surprised me was that he was gay; ninety-five percent of pedophiles are straight.
I hope writing this has helped you and I hope that you have someone to talk to about this, I know that it can make a lot of difference in how it affects everything in your life. Be well.
Author's Response: Well to be honest I don't know much about statistics or anything. I only wrote this as a mirror to what happened to me - but seeing as I am a woman I guess it doesn't contradict the statistic. I only wrote in this fandom because it's the one I'm most passionate about right now and I feel like the love Brian and Justin have for one another is something that I could really use.
It did help, and thankfully I do have an amazing big brother who is always there to listen to me when I want to talk about this. Thank you for your well wishes - they mean a lot.

Author's Response: Thank you - it was. I feel so much freer now and am even getting to the point where I'm enjoying life again. It's a good feeling. It's amazing how something as simple as this can make me feel so much better! I appreciate the sentiment.

Hi, Kristine - I think it took courage to write and post this, even though I cannot begin to know how you feel. But I hope somehow it will still prove to be cathartic to you. Sending comfort your way. ~Kim
Author's Response: Thank you so much Kim. It definitely was helpful. For so long I've struggled with not feeling as if I had a voice and lately it got to the point where I didn't feel like doing anything. But now I'm going out more and even feel like writing again! It was scary to put it all out there, but I'm glad I did. Thanks for the support.
