I wish there is a future take.... i want to know what happen next with justin life. Thanks for writing



Author's Response:

Thanks so very much for reading and reviewing this story. I was touched to see your reviews.

Reviewer: bellawu (Signed) · Date: January 30, 2018 01:08 AM · On: Chapter 3

Im in tears reading this....



Author's Response:

thanks so much for your comment. I'm humbled to see your words.

Reviewer: bellawu (Signed) · Date: January 30, 2018 12:54 AM · On: Chapter 2

I wish I can hug Justin. He has a hard life and just want some love :(



Author's Response:

Aaaw, thanks so much for saying that (and for reading!)

Reviewer: landlady_4rent (Signed) · Date: January 14, 2018 03:18 AM · On: Chapter 1

Good Story, Jessica! Wish it was longer.
I guess Brian & Justin are working things out. Lol. Hugs!

Author's Response:

There were a few loose ends from Rome, that I had to write this, to wrap everything up. Neither were my usual style, but I had a very creative prompt to work off of, though I remember struggling to write both stories at the time.

Thanks so very much for reading this old two-parter, and for your really kind reviews.

xoxoxo

Reviewer: nickknack (Signed) · Date: February 25, 2016 03:08 AM · On: Chapter 1

Excellent sequel. I would happily read more but am happy with the follow on from Rome and that this ending lets us imagine the possibilities of their future together going forward:-)



Author's Response:

Aaaaw, thank you!

:)

Reviewer: arakiss (Signed) · Date: February 01, 2016 11:46 AM · On: Chapter 4

Great story!
And the ending is perfect!
You gave me so much to speculate about what could follow.
Will your Justin be always content with small everyday thing to make him happy, willing only to survive without disturbing the balance or will he eventually became brave enough to challenge Brian for more? To challenge himself for more?



Author's Response:

Thank you! I'm happy that you liked the ending, and the whole story :)

It's an open-ended story. What Justin would want, and how his relationship with Brian will turn out, is up to each reader. There *will* be a relationship, because Brian wants it. What kind it will be is up to all of our imaginations. I think Brian and Justin will be happy, together, in whatever format their relationship takes :)

Reviewer: Deb Tanner (Signed) · Date: January 31, 2016 07:24 PM · On: Chapter 4

Amazing story! Love how you tied up all the loose ends from 'Rome'. I really wish there could be more in this little universe! :)

Author's Response:

Hi again Deb,

Thanks so much for reading Atlantis :)

I'm glad you liked this story, short and mostly sad though it was.

Reviewer: Hotesse (Signed) · Date: November 11, 2015 08:47 PM · On: Chapter 4

Hahahaha.... I like this ending! Good story ;)

Author's Response:

Thanks so much!

Happy to hear that you liked it :)

Reviewer: Carol (Anonymous) · Date: November 10, 2015 10:07 PM · On: Chapter 4

I love the way you write and I liked the ending. But your endings feel like beginnings and this story arc is literally brimming with potential. 



Author's Response:

Lol, thanks.

I like some amount of ambiguity. I like letting readers imagine the future (and at times, the past), based upon the information given. This story aside, I'm really not one for sequels.

Specifically for this AU, it's highly unlikely that I would do a sequel. There is a fair amount of background that I prepared for Justin and Cody, but that could only form a prequel, very depressing, and quite removed from the QAF universe, so I am fairly certain that I won't do it either.

 

Reviewer: Avampiregirl (Signed) · Date: November 09, 2015 12:17 PM · On: Chapter 1

I can't tell you how much I loved this! Thanks

Author's Response:

:)

Thanks so much for reading and reviewing. I am glad you liked this dark little story.

Reviewer: Alois (Signed) · Date: November 06, 2015 10:58 AM · On: Chapter 4

I really love this! I wouldn't mind a sequel either, but the end is perfect. Really enjoy your writing style. Thank you



Author's Response:

Thank you so much! I am so glad that you enjoyed ot so much :)

I don't think I could write a sequel for this AU - it was super difficult to write.

Reviewer: Toto_too514 (Anonymous) · Date: November 06, 2015 01:22 AM · On: Chapter 4

I love this line: 

"If only his brain would stop thinking and his heart would stop feeling."

It really sums things up for Justin.

I also like the rhythm of the cursing in this chapter, LOL! Although I wasn't quite prepared for the chapter to end so abruptly, I have a feeling the boys will both be OK. 

Great job!



Author's Response:

Thanks for reading this story - I know it was quite depressing for the better part.I am really glad that you were happy with the ending!

 

Reviewer: YumYumPM (Signed) · Date: November 05, 2015 09:33 PM · On: Chapter 4

Okay, this is good.  But you can't leave it here.  Do you have another sequel in mind?  Please.



Author's Response:

:) Thanks so much!

I don't have a sequel in mind for this. I have some backstory I created for Justin and Cody in prison, but it so removed from the QAF universe that I don't think I will wrote it, not to mention that it is supremely depressing.

This AU was very hard to write, and I struggled to get both stories done at all. I don't think I am capable of taking it any further.

Reviewer: eureka1 (Signed) · Date: November 05, 2015 09:24 PM · On: Chapter 4

Sweet conclusion with plenty of room for your readers to use their imagination. Thank you!



Author's Response:

:D yay! I am so glad that you were happy with it!

Thanks so very, very much for your support!

Reviewer: Anonymous (Anonymous) · Date: November 05, 2015 08:54 PM · On: Chapter 4

I WANT MOREEEE. Brian and justin are so on point in your story! T_T



Author's Response:

Aaaaw, thank you!

Reviewer: The Lantern keeps shining (Anonymous) · Date: November 05, 2015 06:09 PM · On: Chapter 1

Excellent, thought provoking and vivid in description. The characters are Brian, Justin and Cody.

Loved it.



Author's Response:

Your reviews are amazing. Thank you so much for them.

I did try to make Cody something more than a one-dimensional character, though this was really Justin's story all the way.

Reviewer: The Lantern keeps shining (Anonymous) · Date: November 05, 2015 04:35 PM · On: Chapter 4

Very well done! The perfect ending. Brian or Blake wouldn,t let that lie. If Brian had been dissatisfied by what he learnt.  



Author's Response:

Thanks so much! Your constant support has been really fantastic for me!

Reviewer: Kathrin (Anonymous) · Date: November 05, 2015 09:46 AM · On: Chapter 3

I hope there will be more



Author's Response:

:) Just the last chapter to go!

Reviewer: Toto_too514 (Anonymous) · Date: November 04, 2015 02:08 AM · On: Chapter 3

Oh, poor Justin! The circumstances surrounding Justin's imprisonment are certainly much clearer... and it's heart-breaking to think of Justin going through all of that - alone! I hope Justin takes Blake up on his offer to talk.



Author's Response:

Thanks so very much for reading and reviewing. I'm so glad that you really felt for Justin!

Reviewer: The Lantern keeps shining (Anonymous) · Date: November 03, 2015 08:11 PM · On: Chapter 1

I mean Justin.

Reviewer: The Lantern keeps shining (Anonymous) · Date: November 03, 2015 08:08 PM · On: Chapter 3

Such a shame, such a bloody  shame.



Author's Response:

It is. And it is so common that we as a society misunderstand and misrepresent the story of many like him.

Reviewer: Alois (Signed) · Date: November 03, 2015 06:56 PM · On: Chapter 3

I really love this :) looking forward to the next part. Thank you!



Author's Response:

I am so glad you like it!

Reviewer: Carol (Anonymous) · Date: November 03, 2015 03:16 PM · On: Chapter 3

This is soooooooooo good. More please.



Author's Response:

Aaaw, thanks so much!

Reviewer: YumYumPM (Signed) · Date: November 03, 2015 03:01 PM · On: Chapter 3

Somebody needs to tell Brian the truth.  Justin didn't kill Chris in a jealous rage, he was defending himself.  Maybe Blake will?



Author's Response:

The truth, unfortunately, is a very rare commodity. Thanks so much for your review.

Reviewer: tiger062 (Signed) · Date: November 03, 2015 02:32 PM · On: Chapter 3

It always worries me when people get convicted of manslaughter for defending themselves. What if that happen to me or someone I know - what are the courts thinking (because I know it really does happen) should we allow ourselves to be killed just to prove we were being attacked. And Lindsay - somehow I think her looking up Justin had less to do with curiosity and more to do with a possible threat to her relationship with Brian. It's a shame Justin didn't have the opportunity to tell the real story. I could feel Justin's heartbreak. Blake needs to tell Brian what really happened. Looking forward to what happens next.

Author's Response:

I completely understand. Manslaughter is a pretty tricky issue. Sometimes it goes the other way, and people who are so obviously guilty get away with a manslaughter conviction, either due to lack of evidence or a plea bargain. Whichever way you look at it, manslaughter is just so dicey.

Thanks so much for reading and reviewing!

Reviewer: Koalared (Anonymous) · Date: November 03, 2015 01:08 PM · On: Chapter 3

Your writing blows me away. This is so sad. Made me tear up. Next chapter please. 



Author's Response:

Aaaaaw, that is *such* a sweet thing to say! Thank you so much!

Reviewer: SunshineSally (Signed) · Date: November 03, 2015 12:36 PM · On: Chapter 3

"I went through a trial once, and it was enough for one lifetime. I don’t need to be judged by every fucking person I have the misfortune to meet."

that was SO powerful, omg!!!



Author's Response:

:)

Thanks so much for reading and reviewing!

Reviewer: taurus (Anonymous) · Date: November 03, 2015 10:48 AM · On: Chapter 1

I like the way Blake was added in this story. This story is very good. I do hope Brian forgives Justin. 

Reviewer: eureka1 (Signed) · Date: November 03, 2015 07:52 AM · On: Chapter 3

A very angsty chapter, but it pretty much had to be. I'm curious to see how the story will develop, whether Brian will realize that Justin was railroaded.



Author's Response:

I rarely write angsty stories, but this story (and Rome) developed such that there was no way around it. 'Truly, Madly, Deeply' in fact, came about as a result of all the rejected drafts for this story.

Reviewer: Daphne (Anonymous) · Date: November 02, 2015 01:38 PM · On: Chapter 2

Oh, holy SNAFU!!

(for the uninitiated military term: situation normal, all fucked up!)

Can't wait to read part 3  -- although it not being posted yet, I have to wait.  

:-)

 



Author's Response:

I LOVE that term :D

Thanks for your delightful review!!

Reviewer: SunshineSally (Signed) · Date: November 02, 2015 01:18 PM · On: Chapter 2

Ooooooooooooooh CLIFF HANGER - he knows Blake. I can't wait for more, loving that you wrote a swquel xx



Author's Response:

:D thank you!

Reviewer: JAZZEPOET (Signed) · Date: November 02, 2015 12:42 PM · On: Chapter 2

I can't say enough good things about this story. It seems Cody is a bit jealous about the fact that Justin is interested in someone...and that someone isn't him. Justin is determined to keep his past a secret, but I have a feeling that it won't stay secret for long with Blake entering the picture.

Great chapter ;)

Author's Response:

Aaaw, you are too nice and too kind with your compliments! Thank you!!

 

Reviewer: Marcia Malone lives here (Anonymous) · Date: November 02, 2015 09:51 AM · On: Chapter 2

Intake of breath. I think possibly he'll find some allies here he's not expecting. This is Justin's new family, not that he knows that at the moment and even though he and they are beginning to get used to and like each other he is still daunted  by the thought of being discovered.



Author's Response:

Thanks so much for your review. You are right; Justin is certainly daunted and overwhelmed by all the people and changes - so unlike what he has been used to.

Reviewer: eureka1 (Signed) · Date: November 02, 2015 05:22 AM · On: Chapter 2

Another fascinating twist! Justin must be freaking out that he'll lose this slice of normalcy, that Blake will reveal all.



Author's Response:

Thanks so very, very much, as always, for reading and reviewing! It's so great when there is feedback :)

Fortunately, I think this chapter sees the end of any more twists.

Reviewer: YumYumPM (Signed) · Date: November 02, 2015 04:08 AM · On: Chapter 2

Ut oh.  Why do I feel like the bottom is going to drop out? 



Author's Response:

You are right on the money - the bottom IS about to drop!

Thanks for reading and reviewing

Reviewer: Tagsit (Anonymous) · Date: November 02, 2015 04:06 AM · On: Chapter 2

Ohhhhhhh! Poor Justin. Found out! TAG



Author's Response:

Almost!

Thanks for reading!

Reviewer: Toto_too514 (Anonymous) · Date: November 02, 2015 03:36 AM · On: Chapter 2

Oh, wow! This is taking all sorts of twists and turns! Justin's dealing with drug issues too? I wish he would give himself a break though... he seems to be giving everyone else the benefit of the doubt (His parents for instance) but he doesn't seem willing to that for himself. He is probably one of the most lost boys Debbie has ever encountered, hopefully she will start the mothering soon!

Well done!



Author's Response:

Thanks so much for your review.

Yup, Justin's life has been pretty harsh in this AU, but I imagine that most young offenders would share similar stories.

Reviewer: tiger062 (Signed) · Date: November 02, 2015 02:49 AM · On: Chapter 2

Sounds like the 'shit's going hit the fan' (can I use that word) More and more it sounds like Justin was dealt with unfairly at his trial. If he was 17 when it happened wouldn't he be dealt with as a minor (not sure about US laws) All I have is more questions including 'How is the family going to take this latest development if Blake lets the 'cat out of the bag'? Brian might not like that Justin' s been in jail but he'll like it less if Justin keeps it all secret. I have lots of possible scenarios going through my mind. The next chapter is going to be interesting - can't wait.

Author's Response:

Yes you can use that word :)

Thanks so much for your review - some of your questions  - most in fact - will be answered in the next chapter.

Reviewer: Alois (Signed) · Date: October 31, 2015 06:58 PM · On: Chapter 1

I love it!



Author's Response:

:) Thank you!

Reviewer: Toto_too514 (Anonymous) · Date: October 31, 2015 03:52 PM · On: Chapter 1

Loved it!

It is beginning to unravel some of the story behind the rather odd occurances in Rome. A tattoo bet? Ha! Well, that makes sense because we know Brian would never have thought he wouldn't win it! Although, it's interesting that he went from requesting something simple that would uphold his end, to something so elaborate. Maybe a secret desire to spend more time with Justin???

I also love snarky Justin in this, although not the reasons why he is so snarky. I hope we get more back story on exactly what happened with his arrest and conviction. Why would he have to serve prison time if he was acting in self-defense? Also curious to know more about the symbolism in Cody's tattoo, since it's obviuosly important to Justin. 

Already looking forward to the next installment!



Author's Response:

Thanks so much for reading and reviewing! Hahahaha - when does Brian ever think that he will lose?

There will certainly be some backstory, though it will not necessarily answer every question (simply because I don't like to write like that. I like letting readers fill in some of the blanks). Next chapter coming up soon! :)

Reviewer: The Lantern keeps shining (Anonymous) · Date: October 31, 2015 01:40 PM · On: Chapter 1

Either that or he's a long suffering friend.

Reviewer: The Lantern keeps shining (Anonymous) · Date: October 31, 2015 01:32 PM · On: Chapter 1

One can't help thinking that Cody rains on Justin's parade rather a lot. Keeping reminding of what a disadvantaged position he is in. That he should always be living in fear of the law. It's almost as if he's controling Justin. Using him being depressed against him all of a sudden. Cody doesn't want him to move on in his life. Strikes me. Some friendships are not healthy either. Maybe that's just the way with ex-cons



Author's Response:

Cody is a very pragmatic person; the nature of their lives demands that he is. It is a question of sitiation - Ted can have the same attitude, but because he is a different social class, all his naysaying is more humorous and less grave. Given Justin and Cody's lives, everything is necessarily more serious, and Cody certainly can't afford to dream in technicolor.

Reviewer: The Lantern keeps shining (Anonymous) · Date: October 31, 2015 01:15 PM · On: Chapter 1

This is a first. Brian and Justin finding out they have a lot in common in their world views through actual conversation! Like any guys going down the pub for a companionable drink. Becoming friends too.



Author's Response:

Bahahahaha! Nicely put :)

Thanks for reading and reviewing!

Reviewer: tiger062 (Signed) · Date: October 31, 2015 12:08 PM · On: Chapter 1

Oh sooo good. I'm not sure I want to have a bet where if I lost I would have to get a tattoo but Brian seems to be pretty eager for the one that Justin drew. I like that Brian is slowly trying to get to know Justin. Hopefully when he does find out about his history he deals with it well. Neeed more..............

Author's Response:

:) thank you so much! I don't think that Brian ever contemplated the possibility that he might actually lose the bet ;)

Reviewer: Anonymous (Anonymous) · Date: October 31, 2015 11:28 AM · On: Chapter 1

Author's Response:

That is a very good question.

Thanks so much for reading and reviewing! :)

Reviewer: Lorraine (Anonymous) · Date: October 31, 2015 03:48 AM · On: Chapter 1

Just spent the last 2 days reading all your other stories.  So glad you have a sequel to Rome.  I really enjoyed all of your stories.



Author's Response:

Thanks so much for that! I'm so glad to hear that you liked the other stories, which are quite different in tone and style to this, Rome and Truly, Madly, Deeply.

Reviewer: SunshineSally (Signed) · Date: October 31, 2015 03:20 AM · On: Chapter 1

So happy to see a swquel to this, and I am lobing this already. Cannot wait for more x

Author's Response:

Thank you! I'm glad you like it - the original prompter must take some credit for this different AU.

Reviewer: eureka1 (Signed) · Date: October 30, 2015 11:52 PM · On: Chapter 1

What an amazing start to the sequel to Rome. There's still plenty of mystery, just like fabled Atlantis. I like that Brian's going to have to work to get to know Justin in this uverse. I'm curious how he'll respond as he discovers Justin's background.



Author's Response:

Aw, thanks so much for your very kind words!

Reviewer: JAZZEPOET (Signed) · Date: October 30, 2015 11:44 PM · On: Chapter 1

The suspense is killing me! Lol I hope our boys can face their feelings and be completely honest with each other soon.

Author's Response:

Thanks so much for reading and reviewing - the boys certainly have some issues to work through. Or not.
