I read this whole thing in one sitting until one in the morning. I absolutely loved this. I was expecting a cliche work fic but this was not it. I loved how Brian stayed with Justin outside Ethan's apartment. I liked how Brian took his time with Justin and not just forcing himself on him. I also liked the more realistic side of this as in Justin getting fired and the other employees not being a big bunch of B/J shippers and being supporting that the intern is having relations with his boss. You guys did very good job with this. This is definitely one of my favorite stories.
Author's Response: Incredibly, we're seeing this review only now!
Thanks so very much for reading this fairly old story. You've said such lovely things; we really appreciate it :)

I absolutely loved the water cooler reference, it made me remember once again the title of this wonderful story and the way everything started. It seems Vanguard stayed the same – just without Brian and Justin. The baby twist was completely unexpected! I’m so glad to see the boys are together and happy. Thank you so much for this amazing story, it always makes me smile and I will gladly re-read it in future.
Author's Response: Thank you SO much for reading this story, and for all your amazing reviews.
Especially because this was basically an abandoned WIP, that got resurrected years and years and years later. Thank you for being so patient and encouraging.We are very lucky to have readers like you.
We wish you good luck in your exams - without a doubt you excelled :)
Whenever you are in the mood for a new story, Lupin111 is posting an ongoing WIP right now, with Xrifree betaing. It's definitely not a story that is similar to to this Watercooler story, but we hope you'll take a look :)

Wow, I’m so glad Betsy valued Justin so much that she didn’t want the team to work on her campaign without him! Another consolation prize for Justin – now he can be sure once again what a talented artist he is. I love how Brian deals with everything here, feelings for Justin obviously changed him.
Author's Response: Some part of the chapter - getting hired back by a client - was based on real life. Good things, even if they are small, do happen in real life too occasionally :)
At the end, Brian and Justin can both be proud of what they have achieved and who they have become.

Damn, it is a very difficult day for Justin! First Vanguard, then finally admitting his feelings to Brian. Justin is incredibly strong, I’d just get drunk and forget everything for a day or two. Thank God Brian didn’t reject him and proved he’s more mature now. I loved that beautiful moments between them. Thank you for the great and long-awaited chapter!

I had to take a break from reading during my exams, and I’m so happy to see that the story is now finished! I missed it.
Oh… when Steve insinuated that Justin was being fired, I felt awful – it’s like I was the one to hear those words, even my stomach twisted. Great moment, albeit a bitter one. I’m so angry at all of them – unfortunately, such things happen very often at work place, and I’m glad Justin demanded four weeks pay at least – anything to show them what an assholes they are.
I love how angry and protective Brian immediately got, he cares about his blond so much.

You are right, being fired is a shitty feeling, especially when you feel that you're being unfairly targetted.

When I saw this posted, I actually delayed reading it for a while... I really didn't want it to end. And I actually didn't realize that this was the continuation of an old WIP, it was all new to me and I loved it!
Interesting way to end it... at the water cooler, with Brian & Justin only being mentioned in conversation. I'm also kinda glad that Justin is still with Eyeconics and has opportunity to harass Vance!
Wonderful job, and I sincerely hope that there's another great story up your sleeve, LOL! Thanks for the great ride with this and Have a wonderful new year!

"If I don't quit what? You're going to break up with me over it?"
"...any sexual encounter between the two would be nothing more than a one-night stand."
Ethan is so controlling and demanding but Justin sees Brian as using him for just a roll in the hay. Still it's sad that Justin puts up with Ethan. And it's also strange that Justin comes across as very strong and determined except when it comes to his relationship. I was happy that Justin finally confronted Ethan about Ethan's dishonesty and left the apartment.

"Justin was grateful to have the comfort of someone that wanted to be with him and only him..."
This was a very enlightening chapter. I got a good glimpse of the relationship between Justin and Ethan and then a comparison of Justin and Brian's. It seems obvious to me that Ethan is a waste of time and that Brian and Justin just fit.
I loved the scene of Justin and Brian staying together all night outside od Justin's apartment building. It was "ridiculously romantic".

It's interesting to read a story where Justin is in an established relationship with Ethan and cheats with Brian. I'm loving what you have done with that concept.

This is the greatest proof of the depth of Brian’s feelings for Justin. He doesn’t want to just have sex with him, he wants Justin wanting him and sober.
It’s great that Eyeconics director wanted Justin specifically. I hope it will make him – and everyone else - believe that he has real talent.
I think, believe and hope that new living arrangements will make Brian and Justin closer! In all ways :D
Thank you for great updates! I look forward to next ones!
Author's Response: Yes, you are right. It says something about Brian when he says no to sex. Unfortunately, Justin may have been too drunk to understand the meaning of the gesture ;)
Thanks so much for your detailed reviews - we both love them!

Oh my God, I can’t believe Ethan! Maybe it’s some kind of defensive mechanism? Kick Justin out before Justin tells him he wants to break up? The reason that Justin’s ‘sold his dignity’ is ridiculous, but I can see it coming from Ethan. He can be really pretensions at times. If Justin felt more for him, he would have been devastated.
I loved how Justin teased Ted :D Ted was a little assholish, but Justin repaid him with that remark.
Wow, after all the troubles Justin still ended up with Brian! Can’t wait to read more.
Author's Response: Yup, we do think it's a kind of defensive mechanism, where Ethan tries to absolve himself of all responsibility and blame. He is too pretentious to do otherwise.

Daphne is great, I’m glad she’s a wonderful friend to Justin, she will help him figure everything out.

What a fun chapter! I think both Justin and Brian are bewildered that they're having a platonic "relationship". I'm wondering if there are difficulties ahead at the workplace and whether Kinnetik might emerge.
I think Justin knows Brian's interest is more than platonic after finding his sketchbook in Brian's nightstand. What's next?
I really appreciate the frequent updates during the leadup to the holidays. Reading favorite stories keeps me merry and bright! :)

Thank goodness Justin has left that pretentious git, Ian, behind. I think that was a mutually beneficial dumping. I do feel sorry for Wolfram, though.
The scene at Woody's with Ted was hilarious. LOL, that line of Ted's about Brian always finding a way to ruin his dates. Ted really does show himself to be a good guy by helping Justin!
Salivating as I wait for the next chapter... ;) I am wondering, though, if Justin will pass out before the action commences.
Author's Response: :) Lots of readers are feeling bad for Wolfram - as did we! Interesting idea about Justin passing out - we didn't consider that possibility, though that might have been an interesting path to take.

I was certain that was a dream sequence. Well... nightmare is more accuarate. Loved it, though. I laughed and fretted right along with Justin. LOL. I love the pace, and the feel of this story.

What a unique twist that Justin's there for Brian's decision to donate sperm and become a father, peripherally at least.
Now we wait to see when (not if) Justin will let go of his fear, dump Ethan, and take a chance on Brian. :) Btw, that was a hilarious nightmare.

I’m so happy to see a new chapter! I had an amazing time rereading this story, but I ached for updates since I still remember how crushed I felt to realize the story was abandoned. Thank you so much for continuing it!
I love how affected by Justin Brian is – though he does check out other men as well. And Justin is absolutely charming – he’s mature, intriguing — and adorable in his attempts to hide just how attracted to Brian he is.
Ouch, Brian can be such an asshole. He and Justin were sharing such a hot moment, and then he had to ruin it… although I do understand him, since Justin hasn’t broken up with Ethan officially and Brian is obviously more bothered by it then he lets on.
Oh, their dance was magnificent! The chemistry between them is mind-blowing, I can’t get enough. I hope after a night like this Justin won’t go back to Ethan. Ethan is not bad, but they are completely incompatible.
Thank you! I can’t wait for the next update!

I love this story and the fact the Brian is being himself yet isn't. Their dynamics are great.
That little weasel, lying to Justin for no good reason other than he doesn't want to see his meal ticket walk away from him. Maybe he should get the job at Starbucks and start bringing in some money.
Yeah, a smile from Brian Kinney kind of sticks in your memory.
