I loved that Brian went to see Alex for help and that he is willing to do anything to help Justin. I can't wait for the real story to begin! Thank you :)
Author's Response: Aww thanks! Yeah, the fact that BRian sought out Alex in the show is one of my favorite parts of the 'post bashing era'. It just felt like he really wanted to do the right thing and showed how much he cared so I really wanted to include that in here too. Thanks so much!

Loving this! My heart goes to Justin. It is so sad to see him like that. Brian **Sigh ** the part about him saying he could never hate Justin just melt my heart :)
Author's Response: Oh good! Yeah, his depression and conditions are taking tolls on him, but there will be some lighter moments to come, I promise. :) As for Brian, I feel like he's the type of person where once they let you in, you're in for good (and Justin is definitely in). Thanks so much!

Nice chapter. Happy that Brian seeked out some advice. Glad that Justin is a little happier with his binoculars. Did Brian buy a pair for himself to look out with Justin because he mentioned that they only had two or did he just reference that they weren't popular? Waiting for next chapter.
Author's Response: I guess I wasn't very clear on that, sorry. No, only one pair. He just meant that apparently not a lot of people buy binoculars so he didn't have a lot of options to choose from. I hope you like what comes next! Thanks!!

It's nice to see Brian's concerns. A step in the right direction. Want to know what happens next!
Author's Response: Yes, Brian is going to start taking Justin's condition a lot more seriously. And we're going to start moving pretty fast soon! Thanks!

The boy sounds like Jason Kemp. And if he is, is it his murder Justin sees Riekert commit?
Brian has to do something soon. Where are the binoculars?
Author's Response: ;)
The binoculars are coming soon, very soon.
Thanks!!

Powerful update! I'm sorry that the plan with Gus didn't work out... it seemed like it was a good idea. Sad to see how lonely and desperate Justin really is.
Curious now if the title is a reference to the Alfred Hitchcock movie, since Justin spends so much time looking out that window.
Author's Response: Oh good! I worry that as we go through these early stages in the story it might be boring, so I'm glad you find it interesting! And yes, it is! Good job! On Archive of our own I said that it was a movie adaptation and I thought I had here as well, but I'll go do that now. :) Thanks!
Reviewer: YumYumPM (Signed) · Date: April 04, 2016 05:21 PM · On: Chapter 3
Shame about your internet. Poor Justin. In a way he's right about possibly upsetting Gus. But it would have been interesting to see if Gus' presence made a difference. Want to know more.
Author's Response: Yeah I was less than pleased. Luckily, apparently calling and complaining enough will get you what you want because I was able to move up my appointment to fix it a whole week! :) As for Justin, he has a long road of recovery ahead of him. Thanks so much!
Reviewer: Patty (Anonymous) · Date: April 04, 2016 07:31 AM · On: Chapter 3
Still loving the story. I feel bad for Brian to be that frustrated that he wants to help his boy so bad. I hope he finds a way really soon. And Justin so feeling bad about him self I hope he gets to feel some happiness soon, even a little for now! And who the heck is our mystery kid? Lol
Author's Response: Oh I'm glad! It's always a relief to heart when it's being well-received. And Brian is pretty determined, he isn't going to give up on Justin after one snaffu. As for Justin, he will have ups and downs - mostly downs - before anything else, so keep that in mind. As for the mystery kid, you'll know very soon. Promise!! Thanks so much!

Well didn’t Lindsay just fuck everything up. What part of call first didn’t she get? It's a shame that Brian had to turn Gus away because of the actions of others. I hope Justin will start to be on the mend, and we can find out who the mystery person is...I have my suspicions but...
Author's Response: Isn't that what family is best for? Fucking everything up? Hahaha Justin's condition will get worse before it gets better, but we'll begin seeing in his head more and more often now. As for the mystery person, I'm sure you'll be able to know for sure soon. ;) Thanks so much!

I like how you wove the first part into the story. Is this the guy that gets killed or does the killing I wonder. Whomever he is his father is a combination of Jack and Craig.
Please get Brian some help before he loses it too.
Author's Response: You'll find out soon who he is - The clues I add in later are very obvious so you should know pretty soon. And yeah, Brian will have to struggle a little bit more before he realizes how bad things really are. Thank you so much!!
Reviewer: sophie'smom (Anonymous) · Date: April 03, 2016 12:22 AM · On: Chapter 1
There should be someone helping Brian. Whether a therapist at the loft or over the phone, on the computer so they could Skype. Someone.
Justin is really in bad shape.
Author's Response: Trust me, that will definitely be addressed. Brian has way too much on his plate and despite how hard he's trying, he really isn't helping Justin. Thanks!
Reviewer: Alois (Signed) · Date: April 02, 2016 01:14 AM · On: Chapter 2
I'm late this time, but always as eager to know what's coming, if not more. I repeat it, I love your writing style. I'm so glad you're back!!!
Author's Response: Awww, thank you my friend! It's always good to hear from you! I hope you conitnue to enjoy it. :)
Reviewer: Bryton4ever71 (Signed) · Date: March 31, 2016 06:45 AM · On: Chapter 2
I'm enjoying it. I'm very intrigued as to who the subplot person is. Looking forward to more.
Author's Response: Oh good! I'm glad. :) The subplot person will be easy to figure out pretty soon. Thanks for letting me know! I appreciate it.
Reviewer: JAZZEPOET (Signed) · Date: March 30, 2016 09:50 PM · On: Chapter 2
Yeah...this is going to be a tough read.
Author's Response: I hope tough in a good way? If not, let me know what I can do better. :) Thanks!
Reviewer: Toto_too514 (Anonymous) · Date: March 30, 2016 04:43 AM · On: Chapter 2
Just found this and I'm hooked!
I like that the chapters start with a small flashback... I like the contrast it gives with the current story.
Poor Justin, there's so much more going on there than I suspect Brian is even aware of... and how will Brian deal with the stress of the enormous responsibility. Already looking forward to the next chapter!
Author's Response: Oh yay! I'm so glad to hear that! And yes, Brian had no idea how badly Justin is really doing and that will definitely play a big part in what is to come. I hope I don't disappoint! Thanks!

Enjoying the story. Love the caring, reassuring and protective Brian. Wonder if Michael will show his jealous nature toward Justin in your story? Wondering who the boy in the beginning with the little brother is...interesting. I guess we have to wait and see.lol
Author's Response: Oh I'm so glad! A protective Brian is my favorite kind so that's how I tend to write him. As for Michael, I wouldn't expect much of his jealousy to show up. I'm not really an anti-anyone person. Sometimes I think Michael opens his mouth and says things he shouldn't, and he'll do that here, but it's not particularly out of jealousy. As for the boy, assuming you connect the dots, you'll find out really soon. I don't really hid his identity much in the coming chapters. Thanks!
Reviewer: YumYumPM (Signed) · Date: March 29, 2016 10:13 PM · On: Chapter 2
You show the problems that were never shown in the show. It would not have been easy. My question is - who is the beginning paragraph about?
Author's Response: That was one of the few qualms I had with the beginning of the second season. It seemed like they kept saying Justin was still recovering, but besides his hand we didn't see much. So I wanted to delve into that a lot more. :) As for the other part, you'll find out soon. I don't exactly hide his identity very much in the coming chapters. Thank you!
Reviewer: SunshineSally (Signed) · Date: March 29, 2016 08:34 PM · On: Chapter 2
Am I enjoying it? Heck yes. This is GREAT! I love how sweet and caring Brian is. And how he defended what he was doing for Justin to Mikey. And this part, “That’s it…That’s my boy.” < that broke my heart but made me smile at the same time.
I cannot wait for more. x
Author's Response: Oh I'm so glad!! Yeah, I love a protective Brian myself, so there'll definitely be a lot of that in this story. :) I hope you continue to enjoy it as we go on. Thanks!
Reviewer: SunshineSally (Signed) · Date: March 29, 2016 08:23 PM · On: Chapter 1
This is an amazing start. I love stories set after the bashing. Poor Justin, I just want to cuddle him. He's so scared and broken. Hopefully, Brian can fix him over time.
I loved Brian helping him with his hand, and I also loved how he thought about how just months before, Justin wanted to be wherever he was, and that he'd hope he'd get that back.
Can't wait for more.
Author's Response: Yeah I'm a sucker for post-bashing fics too so I figured I'd write one myself. :) Granted, I exaggerated Justin's condition a lot for the sake of the story, but hopefully it's still pretty good. Brian is pretty dedicated to getting Justin back, so there'll be a lot of those little scenes where he helps Justin out, like with his hand or whatnot. I hope you continue to enjoy it! Thanks!

Hi Kristine! Oh, i'm loving this already :) I really feel like you write emotions so well and it all feels realistic, which is one of the thing I love the most about your writing; Brian having a shitty day, losing a client, being afraid of going home, almost dreading it... Justin being so scared to go out and the way his body respond to the mere idea of leaving his safe place. I really am eager to know more :) Thank you for sharing this story with us!
Author's Response: Yay! I'm so glad! It's funny because I feel like the thing I struggle with most is writing emotions and getting those across to the reader. I'm glad that it works though. Justin's struggle is the main focus of the story, so hopefully his evolution will continue to be interesting. Thanks for letting me know what you think and I hope you like what's to come! :)
Reviewer: Patty (Anonymous) · Date: March 27, 2016 05:03 AM · On: Chapter 1
I liked this story very much and I hope that it turns out to be a long one. I hope you post twice a week
.
Author's Response: Well there are 23 chapters so I hope that's long enough for you. They're all about this length too. So that should give you an idea. I'll post twice a week for now to keep things moving and because I have the time. I hope you continue to enjoy it. Thanks!
Reviewer: YumYumPM (Signed) · Date: March 26, 2016 03:10 PM · On: Chapter 1
You write the emotions well. Hope Justin gets better.
Author's Response: Thanks! His condition is exaggerated (obviously) for the purpose of the story to make it match the movie more. I hope you enjoy what is to come. :)
