Great story!! With Michael's total dislike of Justin, I wasn't surprised in the least to find out that he had been in contact with Cody and feeding him information about Justin. However, I dont think Brian will ever truly forgive him.

Sorry i havent reviews in every ch. I love this story and anxious to read the next ch.

I just loved this story! The comfortable mixture of well known and original elements, protagonists kept strictly in character, the pacing, the balance between lighthearted banter and hints of true angst, colorful supporting characters - aaaand with a dash of mystery - all amount to great fun. Well done, and thank you for sharing!
Author's Response: I'm incredibly flattered, thank you very much for your review. I appreciate that you thought Brian was in character, because he is so difficult to write.

So good! Loved it. I knew Brian would finally go after him. Figures Michael was involved with the Cody stuff. So happy Justin will be returning to The Pitts. Sequel maybe?
Author's Response: Thank you! I haven't thought of a sequel, I think they're in a nice place. But of course they still have many issues in front of them so maybe.

What a wonderful ending to a delightful story. Shame all the trouble they had to go through but I loved your ending. Brian will be a lot less inclinded to include Michael in anything in the future I hope. Loved your link and Daphne's fierce protection of her best friend. Thank you for all the work you've done!
Author's Response: Thank you! It was a lot of work but also great fun to write. I'm very hapy that you enjoyed it

Alls well...
Great job. I like how you fit Michael and Cody together.Michael just can't win for trying.
Gotta love Daphne and Mrs. Yoly. They certainly know how to deal with Brian.
Author's Response: Thank you! Brian just needed a little push and you can always count on Daphne for it. Michael, well, he's just not very bright...

Author's Response: That's one possibiity
Reviewer: YumYumPM (Signed) · Date: October 02, 2016 12:40 PM · On: Chapter 14
Great chapter. Plenty of angst with Mikey, him of the why can't we be together. Look at Justin, blond, blue eyes, nice personality and then look at Mikey, sullen, whiney and zero personality. Good for Emmett for not taking sides. Now we have a fire. Hope Justin's work survives. Suspects - Mrs Dell, Justin's dropping her? Anotole, he's a little wonky. Mikey, my favorite. Next chapter please!!!!
Author's Response: You have good suspects...check out the new chapter for the answers.
And I agree that Michael is just no match for Justin. Not that Justin is worried !
Reviewer: 7wildwaysup (Signed) · Date: September 29, 2016 12:33 PM · On: Chapter 14

Of course things were going so well something had to ruin it. Damn!!!

Reviewer: emac66 (Signed) · Date: September 27, 2016 09:21 PM · On: Chapter 14
Jeeez...who'd a thunk that michael would give Brian food for thought? LOL. Porr Brian, he has to go home and now think about all that Michael said. I mean the shit about them being together he can sluff off...It's all redundant. (adn really really creepy!) Iterensting idea though. that he chose similar to dad as they didn't matter to him, he was the dominant one since he wasn't with his dad.
A small part felt sorry for Michael having Ben's new lover there. But really....how was Justin to know? Hopfully Deb will be able to smoothi it all over. In her soft spoken, loving and nurturing way. lol
Uh no! things aren't looking good for our artist. who could it be? Obvious choice would be Michael, but is that too obvious? Is he that stupid? Then there's Anatol. Or even his agent. Isn't he breaking ties with her? So many thoughts are running through my brain.
Looking froward to the next update!!!
thank you for posting and sharing!
Elaine
Author's Response: Thank you, I love your comments. You're the first to suggest the agent as responsible for the fire, she's certainly a possibility.
As for Brian and his usual tricks, I always found fascinating in the show that Brian has an instant and strong attraction to Justin, who, though indeniably beautiful, is nothing of his usual choice of men. And the relationship between Brian and his father is (after B/J of course) the one I found the most interesting. So this is my way of explaining Brian's sex life, in which in refuses to let his partners have even the least power on him, with his "one fuck only" policy, and to keep total control of the situation, when he has none with his father, even as an adult. The fact that at 30 he still hasn't been able to tell his father that he was gay, for somebody so brutally honest as Brian, also tells a lot about the importance of his father in his life. I really think that they shouldn't have killed Jack in the show, there was so much to do with his character. They could have him come back as a ghost, as in Dexter; wouldn't that have been great?
I'll really try to upload by the end of the week.

What!!!!!! Not a good place to finish.....my head is exploding..... And why do I get a creepy feeling Michael's behind the fire - it's the kind of childish thing he would do in retaliation of perceived wrongs. I'm definitely worried about Justin safety as well the mural - if it's destroyed it will devastate Justin. Please don't let us wait too long for an update. Need more, more, more.......

Aw how sweet "You're here". Justin has a great plan and he knows Brian so he is working their relationship slowly
Author's Response: Yes, Justin was forced to explain himself to Brian earlier than he intended because of the realtor, but he knows Brian is going through a tremendous change in his personal life and must not be pushed too hard. But Justin certainly knows what he wants and how to get it.
Reviewer: Lorma (Signed) · Date: September 11, 2016 11:19 PM · On: Chapter 13
Loved, loved, loved this chapter. Justin has truly earned Brian's respect.

I love how Justin keeps his calm while Brian is in full queen out mode. They are perfect for each other aren't they.
Seems like Ms. Dell's time as manager may be coming to an end in say six months or so if she doesn't watch her step.
Author's Response: Yes, Justin has known for a while that Brian and him are perfect for each other, Brian was a bit slower but he made a giant step here, accepting that Justin is going to stay and asking him to move in with him. Thanks for reviewing!

Glad to see that Justin had everything planned out and could counter any argument that Brian made. Even gladder that Brian wanted to have Justin move in with him. Can they do both?
Author's Response: Well, they're going to see how they can make it work, everything is open by now, but they must think it through a bit more. But yes, a big step has been made by both.
Reviewer: 7wildwaysup (Signed) · Date: September 11, 2016 04:07 AM · On: Chapter 13
I love that Brian in his angry let it slip that he's loves Justin. Not that it was a secret,or anything. I love the artist community project, and Justin showing some independence. But I'm guessing that Justin spends more time sleeping at Brian's new place, than his new place... Great upset!
Hugs Darling ~ Kathleen
Author's Response: Hi Kathleen,
No, it certainly wasn't a secret! But it's sooo difficult for the Mighty Kinney to say it, since there's no bombing I though anger was fun to use!
Thanks for reviewing!

I don't think bribing Lindsay is going to work, she's a bottom-feeder and she'll be back for more...
I love the idea that Justin is looking for studio space in Pittsburgh...
I'm so relieved that it wasn't Michael in Brian's bed. I might have had to slit my wrists...

Merci pour avoir revu la police, ça marche très bien maintenant. Toujours aussi séduite! Pour répondre à ta question, oui, j'ai les mêmes problèmes que toi. Ne pas réussir à traduire une phrase en anglais peut être tellement frustrant! J'écris depuis deux ans en anglais maintenant, donc ça devient plus facile, mais mon niveau n'était pas terrible au début, crois moi. J'ai la chance d'avoir des 'correctrices' qui m'aident lorsque je suis bloquée et qui corrigent mes fautes. Je ne sais pas si cela peut t'interesser, mais c'est vraiment super de partager cela (pour ma part en tout cas). J'utilise Google docs, ce qui me permet de travailler et de poser des questions en même temps. d'ailleurs, si jamais tu es intéressée pour que quelqu'un relise ton chapitre avant que tu ne le publies, je le ferai avec plaisir. Maintenant, je suis 'presque' bilingue', c'est à dire que je suis comme toi, parfois c'est difficile de trouver les mots! Donc je ne serai pas la meilleure pour corriger. Si cela t'intéresse, n'hésites pas à me contacter vis le lien 'contact author'. Aucune obligation bien sûr! Et dans tous les cas, merci encore pour ton travail et tes efforts, c'est vraiment une super histoire que tu nous proposes :)
Author's Response: Je vais tenter, je n'ai jamais utilisé Google docs, je ne connaissais même pas cette application. Les correctrices qui t'aident sont sur MW? Mais elles sont bilingues alors? Effectivement, si ça me permet de ne pas perdre de temps à chercher la traduction d'un mot ou la tournure d'une phrase, ça m'intéresse. Je suis moins certaine pour la relecture, ou alors il faudrait que je travaille différemment. Généralement j'écris la nuit et quand je considère que j'ai enfin terminé, je susi crevée et je veux poster tout de suite pour m'en débarasser et ne plus y penser. En tout cas merci pour la proposition. Je devrais avoir du temps pour écrire la semaine prochaine, je vais essayer google docs.
Et grâce à toi, j'ai dépassé les 100 commentaires! Je n'en reviens pas! Mille mercis!

Je suis toujours aussi séduite et impatiente de connaitre la suite! Par contre, je ne sais pas pourquoi, mais je ne peux pas lire ce chapitre, car la police est très petite et je ne peux pas l'agrandir. Je ne suis pas sûre que d'autres personnes aient le même problème que moi, j'essaierai donc d'y revenir plus tard. Mais encore une fois, je te félicite pour cette histoire. Les dialogues sont un vrai régal et j'aime particulièrement l'évolution de la relation entre Brian and Justin, et le point de vue de Brian. Un grand merci!
Author's Response: Merci beaucoup, tu es la seule qui m'a signalé le problème, je n'avais pa vérifié après avoir posté le chapitre (je l'ai mis en lligne à 5h du matin), je l'ai modifié, je ne sais pas pourquoi je n'arrive pas à avoir la même police que sur les autres chapitres mais au moins c'est plus lisible. Et merci beaucoup pour ton commentaire, ça me fait extrêmement plaisir.

Author's Response: Merci beaucoup, je passe tellement de temps sur l'écriture, il n'y a pas une phrase que je n'ai pas réécrite au moins 3 fois. J'ai un bon niveau d'anglais, mais je n'imaginais pas à quel point ça serait difficile d'écrire dans cette langue; de devoir toujours tout vérifier (et chaque fois que je me relis je vois des fautes), d'avoir 1 phrase qui me vient en tête en français mais que je suis incapable de traduire,... Tu as les mêmes difficultés ou ton anglais est meilleur que le mien?

Bonjour Bea! Je n'ai pas eu de temps pour continuer à lire cette fabuleuse histoire, donc me revoilà :) J'aime beaucoup ta description du club Babylon, son évolution avec les années. Et je continue à vraiment apprécier la relation que tu établis entre Brian et Justin. En fait, j'aime tout ;) Merci
Author's Response: Bonsoir Alois, oui j'ai essayé d'écrire un maximum pendant que l'étais en congé, je voulais finir l'histoire avant la rentrée....raté! Merci pour Babylon, je ne sais pas du tout si c'est réaliste ou pas, je n'ai jamais été dans un club gay, ni dans une boîte de nuit où il existait 1 backroom, mais bon, ça m'a paru logique que la technologie allait avoir des conséquences.
Reviewer: YumYumPM (Signed) · Date: August 30, 2016 02:35 PM · On: Chapter 12
From Justin's view point it makes perfect sense. From Brian's it merely complicates things. Running off didn't really help. Now that they are confronting things, everythings up in the air.
Author's Response: Thanks! No, running away didn't help but Brian knows he can't control himself when he's really angry so he took the easy way out rather than risk saying hurtful things to Justin. Now he's calmer, they can talk.
Reviewer: Predec2 (Signed) · Date: August 30, 2016 12:11 AM · On: Chapter 12
Hi Bea! Still loving this story! I thought the opening part, where Brian had to pose several times for Justin, was hysterical! I just love the idea of Justin getting his own, personal, Brian runway show. And what a shame he couldn't use the same pair of briefs - ha!
I think Justin's intentions regarding the painting were good, but that sounds like bad news to me. I can understand Brian's viewpoint.
And this Bell woman; she's a real piece of work! Glad that Brian stood up to her.
As usual, I'll be eagerly awaiting the next part. Thank you for posting this very entertaining story on here. You will love the fresh, exciting design look that is coming soon! ~Kim
Author's Response: Thanks Kim; I love writing the agent fighting with Brian. And don't worry about Justin, he knows what he's doing,

That Dell woman is a pain in the butt - I know she's good at her job (of course the better she is the more money she gets) but she's so controlling. However I don't think Justin is any sort of dummy so there must be still more to that story. Brian is controlling in his own way but he's more concerned for Justin than for money. Looking forward to more clashing between those two - bet Brian wins....LOL
Justin being so generous with Lindsay is surprising, especially under the terms of his current contract. Not sure if it will work out the way Justin hopes - I'll just have to wait and see, won't I??? Love the chickens drawings on the window....LOL
Author's Response: Thanks, and you're right, Justin is no dummy and knows exactly what he's doing, both with keeping his agent and giving the painting to Lindsay. Trust him (and me!) on this.
Reviewer: Enohvee1875 (Signed) · Date: August 28, 2016 01:26 PM · On: Chapter 11
Can it be that Justin may be setting down some roots in the Pitts? If Brian doesn't try to pitch him off Mt. Kinney they may have be able to have a relationship. Your story is a delight.
Author's Response: Thank you so much! Brian is really going to try, but, well, he is not an easy man to be in love with.

Hi, Bea! So happy to see an update! The window interludes adds a very charming aspect to this tale. This is such a unique story as to how they met, and I'm enjoying the slow buildup of their relationship. Something tells me that it won't end even when Justin's tenure concludes, and he prepares to return to NY. ;)
I'll be interested in seeing how you resolve this, but I have a good suspicion that you will find a way. :) Thank you for posting this very entertaining story on here! I will be looking forward to your next update. ~Kim
Author's Response: Hi Kim, thank you so much! It's great to know you're enjoying this story. As much as I enjoy writing it, it's really a lot of work, so support is greatly appreciated! Justin ia already very decided about not ending the relationship, and Brian is still not convinced that it's both possible and a good thing for Justin, so...
The story should be ending soon now, probably no more than 2 other chapters, so if all goes well, by the end of the month.

What fun to see Brian enjoying himself with Justin and Daphne, who had a wonderful time with Emmett. I'm certain they all had an enjoyable time in Emmett's Jacuzzi. Teaching Justin to drive, now that was a surprise. How will Brian explain about the bodyguard?

Bad Justin...fancy introducing Daphne that way....LOL Michael is, of course, delusional - although he's definitely more than usual - as if Brian would want to share a house with him - the next thing would be Mikey trying to share his bed - Brian did the right thing - hung up on him......
Author's Response: Yes there was no beating around the bush here, Brian had to shoot down any illusion Michael could have about sharing a house.

An enjoyable chapter. The watercolor was unique. Mikey thinking he and Brian could be roommates would never work. The next thing Brian would know is finding Mikey slipping into his bed! Meeting Daphne sounds like fun. Don't want Justin to leave!
Author's Response: I love the image of Michael slipping in Brian's bed, that made me laugh! What a pleasant way to wake up!

First let me stop laughing at Michael's suggestion. He should become a comedian. Then he could afford a place of his own. Ha! Yes does he see that he and Justin are lovers? And, he's such a tease. Stripping in the dim light. Couldn't be better. Can just picture Justin sitting there with popcorn and a smile. Nice way to be introduced to Daphne. He has no shame. Loved this chapter.
Author's Response: Thanks! I was in a great mood when I wrote this chapter, I suppose that's why it's in a lighter tone. Only Michael could make such a suggestion!

Just catching up and found 2 chapters - Catherine certainly is a pitbull - not sure if that's good or bad - good financially but must be stressful dealing with her although Justin seems to understand her. Lindsay is getting out of hand - no surprise there. I can imagine the fight at Woody's. I love that Brian and Justin sit at the opposite windows and talk at night - what a great way to get to know one another. Looking forward to more.
Author's Response: Thank you! I love it that people enjoy the windows talks, it's really essential to me, this is why I used it in most chapters.
Reviewer: YumYumPM (Signed) · Date: August 17, 2016 03:14 AM · On: Chapter 8
Brian is sooo invested in Justin. Lindsay is getting out of hand. My thought is Cody tries something and Anatol takes him down. Anatol might not defend himself, but I doubt he'd let Justin get hurt.
Author's Response: Not telling!! But it is true that Justin and Anatol have some kind of strange bond, Justin is the artist Anatol wishes he could be (Anatol has absolutely no talent) and Justin knows that Anatoll harasses him because he admires his work.
Thanks for reviewing
Reviewer: Predec2 (Signed) · Date: August 16, 2016 11:42 PM · On: Chapter 8
Hi, Bea! Well, I feel a little better about Anatol now, I guess, but now Justin has Cody to contend with. I know that Justin will likely be furious when he finds out what Brian has done, but I hope he also appreciates it, and I think it shows how much he cares about him. Something tells me this relationship will be lasting more than just a year. ;)
Hadn't even made the connection between the two Bells - ha! But probably better to change it so there is no confusion.
Thank you for this latest update! I am still continuing to enjoy this. Particularly love the idea of the two of them being able to see each other from across the street. And that one scene before, BTW, where Michael was 'introduced' to Justin was hilarious! ~Kim
Author's Response: Hi KIm,
I'm glad that you love the way they talk across the street, because the whole story was really started from this image , that I really love too. And yes it allows some fun around it, this time at the expense of Michael (but he had no business being there to start with).
Justin is used to being on his own and probably overestimates his capacity of taking care of himself. To quote Brian "a man's got to know when to ask for help", Justin's not quite there yet.
Glad the Anatol situation is clearer now, we'll see more of him of course.
Bea

And things were going so smoothly. Well except for Lindsay the nut case. Justin's lack of concern over Cody and Anatol angers Brian wait until Justin finds out what Brian has set into motion.
Author's Response: Yes, it's really the saying "the road to hell is paved with good intentions", Brian just couldn't sit and wait to see if Anatol or Cody would try something against Justin, it's not his nature, but Justin is independant (he had no choice, being on his own since he was 15).
Thanks for your review

What a night for Brian. First he had to dance with that bitch Catherine then he get into a fight in his tux and winds up in jail. I think Justin is the best thing that's happened to him in a while. Hope when Justin's year is up he gives the bitch her walking papers because he's in love and chooses to stay with Brian.
Author's Response: Oh yes what a night...one he'll always remember for sure, I'm pretty sure his beautiful tuxedo was damaged in the fight too. And he's not very angry, that's telling something about Justin.
Thanks for reviewing

Lol got to love a protective Brian but I suspect Justin is not going to be pleased he is being managed when he finds out. He already has a control freak of a agent he doesn't like so having a 'sort of ' boyfriend doing the same thing.. Omg Lindsay grrr
Author's Response: Hi Lindsay,
Yes Justin is pretty strong-headed, and Brian knows it. But he can't stop himself from being protective because he's, well...(whispers) in love?
Reviewer: Cassie (Anonymous) · Date: August 16, 2016 07:36 PM · On: Chapter 7
I Am enjoying the story. Can't wait for the next update. Lindsay needs to stop pushing Justin and Justin needs to stop feeling sorry for the nut case. I hope the agent doesn't cause Brian to push Justin off a cliff. And to put ideas in his head. It would be so refreshing for once to have Brian say fuck off to someone trying to interfere with his relationship with Justin and for him to not be persuaded by another.
I was confused by one thing. In chapter 7 at the end when Cody catches up to Justin and threatened him wasn't Brian there with him. They were all walking together but Brian didn't say Anything? Even if Justin was trailing behind him he would of been aware that his blond wasn't by his side and he would of heard the conversation.Then in the next chapter when Carl tells him about Cody at Deb's house Brian acts like he didn't know. Wasn't he there when Cody went up to Justin outside the police station? Confused lol.
Author's Response: Well, you certainly have a point, I should have visualize the scene better.
Does this work? Brian is ahead talking with Cynthia about why they were in a fight, Emmett, Ted and Michael behind, all of them out of the door of the police station, Justin still inside going out when Cody catches up with him. Justin and Cody are still in the police station so the scene is neither loud nor long (less than a minute) and that's why Brian doesn't notice.
Reviewer: starfire64 (Signed) · Date: August 16, 2016 06:49 PM · On: Chapter 8

I love this. Justin is such a strong and independent guy. No wonder Brian is attracted to him. His agent is a real trip. She needs to butt out.
Author's Response: Thanks, I love a strong Justin! He was in the show, but there was such a gap between his situation (no diploma, no money, no job) that it was difficult to feel equal to Brian who had it all
Reviewer: emac66 (Signed) · Date: August 15, 2016 09:10 PM · On: Chapter 7
Yeah....do NOT like Mrs. Bell at all. I hope down the road Justin tells her to take a hike. I don't see him putting up with anyone ordering him around, contract or not. Let's face it.....we all know that B&J will figure things out, that Justin is more than just a boy toy. She nailed it when she commented that brian was trying to make a statement. she wants to stop him?? good luck! she may interefere for a bit, but it HAS to work out in teh end right?!
Cody brings in a whole new level of angst. don't trust him at all. (didn't like teh whole pik posse story line anyway) Hope cody gets what's coming to him at some point. either that for falls off the endge of teh planet. lol.
Great chapter!! Great story!!
Cheers
Elaine
Author's Response: Thanks! I never liked Cody and his buddies either, they totally belonghed in jail. And yes Justin is defintely no boy toy, he's strong. But Brian has about the same issues that in the show, not wanting to interfere in his career (even if he's doing a lot better than in the show, he's already a big name, but he's just 24).

What an interesting evening. Of course, we knew Anatol would show up again, we just didn't know where. Cody and the pink posse show up and I've got to wonder what you have planned for him. I'm not sure I like Justin's agent. She says she's looking out for Justin's interests but is she? Love how well Justin and Emmett get along.
Author's Response: Emmett is one of my favorite characters on the show, I love his Aunt Lula's quotes, his cheerfulness...
Justin's agent is a business-woman, she is very one minded so yes that will be an issue in Brian and Justin relationship.
Thanks for reviewing!
Reviewer: Predec2 (Signed) · Date: August 14, 2016 06:18 PM · On: Chapter 7
Hi, Bea! Still enoying this story very much. That ending kind of worries me with the Pink Possee, though. I guess I'm a little perplexed as to why Justin is defending Anatol so much. I get that he's sympathetic to him if the guy is a loose cannon, but at the same time that doesn't mean that Anatol might not do him some actual harm in his deluded mental state. To me the man seems to definitely need psychiatric help and he is not getting it.
I found the idea of all of the men in tuxedos fighting funny, however. And this Bell woman might be great at what she does, but she's also even better at sowing seeds of doubt in Brian's head. Something tells me that could play a part coming up.
I will be looking forward to your next chapter, Bea! Thanks for posting this on here. :) Kim
Author's Response: Thanks Kim. I see your point concerning Anatol, I will have to develop him in a new chapter to explain better why Justin is not only not afraid of him, but has sympathy for him, even if he unquestionably has mental issues. They have some kind of history together. And yes the agent has set up something, and she knows it perfectly.
Reviewer: sophie'smom (Anonymous) · Date: August 14, 2016 05:10 PM · On: Chapter 6
Sit her in the farthest corner with Michael and Lindsay only. That would teach her to hand Brian an ultimatum.
As for Michael and Ben. Really can't blame Ben for finding someone he has more in common with. No matter what age. And I think Michael's way off the mark about Ben using him. Don't think Ben would do that.
l I like the friendship Brian and Justin are developing.
Author's Response: Thanks! As for Michael, well I agree that Ben would not have done such a thing. But it is hard to be cheated on with someone much younger, so Michael feels totally betrayed.

Reviewer: dorrit (Anonymous) · Date: August 13, 2016 08:26 PM · On: Chapter 5
This is dorrit again in reference to the chapter four post about character bashing and breaking up every other couple in the show. I was tagging the destruction of the other romantic pairs on the show as character bashing. But now I realize that's too broad a definition for the term. So I apologize for this and admit to being wrong about calling it bashing.
But unfortunately. I am not wrong about the rest. It is still unrealistic to have the whole QAF cast outside of Brian and Justin be unlucky in love. And the explanations given for why they would all be kaput just underlines how unrealistic. None of the things listed are believable divorce fodder for any of these couples. It's true that Mel and Linz cheated on each other, but they took each other back. And Lindsay being bi sexual doesn't mean she can no longer be with Melanie.
If Michael takes on the lifestyle of who ever he's with, this only makes a breakup less likely, since both partners are now on the same page. And Ben practically cheated on Michael in canon, with Michael forgiving him without even asking for an apology. So there's no reason he wouldn't do it here, although they might be separated for a while.
If Ted and Blake are settling for each other so what, lots of long term couples do this. Different people expect different things from a relationship. Heat and passion was not what brought Ted and Blake together to begin with. So they certainly wouldn't need fireworks later.
And if these couple's shortcoming really are lethal to their relationships, what about the same problems being a part of Brian of Justin's romance. Mel and Linz might have cheated, but Justin cheated on Brian as well. Michael takes on the life style of his partner, so did Justin when he coldly rebuked that virgin a la Brian and got all artsy when he was with Ethan. Ted and Blake might be settling for each other, but so would Brian and Justin if they stay together. If he gave up his party ways Brian would be settling. If he gave up his hopes for a more domestic life Justin would be settling. None of this means Justin and Brian can't be together. But by the same token, none of these deficiencies mean the other couples can't be together either, yet these are the reasons provided to bust everyone up.
The reason for going on so much about this is that the idea of a more worldly Justin and a more seasoned Brian is an exciting new twist on that couple's tale. But this backdrop of everybody parting ways so completely lacks feasibility, it makes everything else impossible to fathom as well. It's like some bizarro world where everything's off kilter and out of sorts. If I can't believe in the backdrop of the story, how can I believe in Brian and Justin's story? I was really, REALLY hoping for credible explanations about how all three couples broke up. I hoped this because I wanted so much to be able to enjoy the rest of the tale. But instead, reasons put forward for the breakups were so poor that even I could come up with better justifications. This makes me sad since it makes everything else in the story unbelievable. And worse, it makes it questionable if I can continue to read. I'm sorry to say all this as I was really looking forward to this story.

And Dorrit? I have no problems with criticism, but this is ridiculous. There is no way I'm going to enter some debate on the plausability of a secondary part of the plot. Maybe you are 100% right and it's totally unrealistic that those 3 couples broke up, Then I'll just say that they all made a big mistake by breaking up and move on with the story.

That was a very interesting but sad background story for Justin. I'm glad he didn't elaborate any further. I can also see why Justin responded the way he did when Brian pissed him off.
Although I love the hot sex scenes, it's good to get to see Brian and Justin interact and get to know each other outside of the sex. You're done a nice job of that.
Author's Response: Thank you! I agree that they can't expect to build anything serious solely on sex, even on great sex.

Hi Bea. I just started reading this and you have quite a story going here : ) In the first chapter where Justin saw Brian standing in his window and was startled to see a naked man smoking and staring at him was good, I could just imagine that happening in my head. Brian was pretty much a complete turd to him at the end of the second chapter but I liked how Justin handled it, I think it made Brian see Justin for the mature young man that he is. Plus, I don’t think Brian is over reacting at all about the Anatol situation in the fourth chapter, that man seems to be a few sandwiches short of a picnic, if you know what I mean ; ) BTW, I agree with YumYumPM, I don’t see any character bashing going on here, everyone has problems in their relationships, even fictional characters. This is an interesting story and I’m looking forward to seeing where you take this : ) *Hugs* Janet
Author's Response: Thank you for your review! I loved your expression "a few sandwhiches short of a picnic", it's very visual and made me laugh ! Is it a common expression or did you make it?

Author's Response: Thanks, yes, it's easier to have them equals by making them older. 17 year old, inexperienced, homeless and moneyless Justin makes it difficult.

Great first chapter!
Author's Response: Thank you, hope you like the next chapters too

I disagree with Dorrit. I'm enjoying this fic. Not everyone has a happy ending and I don't see you bashing anyone. I just see Brian and Justin in a new light. Keep on keeping on.
Author's Response: Thanks for your support. No, not everyone can have a happy ending, and hanging up to a couple when love is gone is far worst than breaking up. That's a mistake that Brian and Justin would never make. They're both too brave and honest for that.

I was hoping for a new approach due to Brian and Justin's age advancment. Instead it's just the same old bashing of characters who aren't Brian or Justin. I am tired of stories that destroy another couple's relationship in order to elevate Brian and Justin's romance. And in this case every body's partnership was deep sixed. If you really think Brian and Justin are all that, why not make them a better couple instead of eliminating every other romance on the show. It's also not very realistic that Mel and Linz, Ben and Michael and Ted and Blake ALL went on the skids. And doing this is like saying Brian and Justin don't stack up as an emotionally healthy couple when you have these other examples. It shows little faith in Brian and Justin if they can only be together if they are the only lovers around.
Author's Response: Well, I don't think there's such a thing as a better couple. Your couple works or it doesn't, it's not a competition where the couple that lasts longer wins. Mel and Linds didn't work for me, They both cheated on each other, Lynds was obviously bisexual, an issue they never really discussed. Michael and Ben: Michael's lack of personality is another issue, he loses his and copies his partner. When with David, he turns into this snotty person, when with Ben, he becomes the perfect middle class parner. Ted and Blake seemed to be settling for each other, I saw affection between 2 lonely and insecure persons, not love. So yes, in my world, they all go their separate ways.

How dare Michael and Lindsay think they are going with Brian just because they got an invitation. I hope Ben got one too. Brian's totally happy that Justin will be accompaning him. Now if he can just keep the crazy guy away, he'll be even happier.
Author's Response: Nope, sorry, at this point, Brian is a very loyal friend to Michael, so no invitation for Ben. But yeah, Michael and Lyndsay don't really have a sense of boundary where Brian is concerned, that will have to change.

Thank you for the quick update! I'm still enjoying this immensely, and can't wait for the next chapter :)
And just a question. Do you speak French? If so, I will leave my reviews in French if it's okay with you. Anyway, really loving this story, thank you!
Author's Response: Oui! Je suis française donc aucun souci, au contraire c'est trés agréable d'écrire en français après beacoup d'anglais! Et merci beaucoup pour ce gentil commentaire, ça me fait trés plaisir.

hi, Just wanted to tell you that I am really enjoying your fic and can't wait to read more of it. What a waste that Brian had to blow it with his hot temper when his initial meetings with Justin were so fantastic. Looking forward to your next update.

Author's Response: Thank you, yes Brian really blew a fuse, but he'll take responsability

Hi, Bea! Just finished my story, and have a little time to play catch up (finally!). This is very interesting so far. Love the first chapter where they had their little tryst without really knowing who each other was, and the 'take charge' Justin.
Have to agree that Brian really went way overboard on his treatment of Justin in the second chapter at Kinnetik. Wow, that was really nasty of him! I'm glad he realized he had been wrong, but I think Justin let him off the hook just a little too easily. I would have made him work for it just a bit harder.
But I do like the more confident Justin in this story, and I have a suspicion he can more than hold his own, while teaching "Mr. Cocky" a think or two along the way. :) I will be enjoying reading more of this story. Thank you for posting this on here, and for being a writer on MW! ~Kim
Author's Response: Wow, Kim, thank you so much. I've just finished reading your story too (nothing new, I read ALL of your stories and love them all ! With a very special place in my heart for "I remember", I get goose bumps every time I read the chapter where Brian finds Justin and they finally meet, it's so beautiful). And I also want to thank you for your cover of the Toronto Convention on LJ and on Twitter, it was great fun reading and seing the photos.
I hope you like the rest of the story. And it's great fun to write here!
Bea

This Justin is no starry eyed twink. I was thrilled that he put his foot and didn't deal with Brian's shenanigans. Now that Brian has admitted to himself that he was being an idiot, they can try again to re-connect. I hope...
Author's Response: You're right, here Justin is experienced and successful, he can stand up to Brian even if he's younger than him.

Good for Justin that he's sticking to his guns! Brian has enough guys kissing his ass and begging for his attention. He needs someone to sluff him off like Justin did. At like brian's was thinking, neither of them (yet) have anything to loses. Justin is only here for a year (yea right....) and they can just enjoy each other's company for that amount of time and then part ways, no worries. (pffffft like that's gonna happen)
I do believe Michael's chat with Brian was enlightening...to Brian anyway. He realized that he doesn't want to stay stuck in that rut. It would just mean either staying stuck like that or really, taking too many steps backwards. Is he finally going to let go of his mantras? Will Michael have a reaction when he realizes that Brian is considering someone in his life? I feel bad for Michael re: Ben. Sad that Michael's concerns are financial. that he can't seem to get by on his own.
Love the fact that Brian is making such an effort!! Such lengths he's going to! Brilliant!!!!!!! and he was rewarded!! Love it.
Cheers,
Elaine
Author's Response: I love your confidence that Justin will stay in Pittsburgh! And yes even involuntarily, (and he would kick himself if he knew), Michael helped Brian realize that he can't stay a club boy, he's 36 now, time to grow up. It's sad for Michael, but in my country bookstores keep closing, there are so many other ways to buy books and comics, so I assumed it was probably the same in America and therefore times must be hard for Michael.
Thanks for your review

Ben cheats on Michael. Then he stops paying part on a house it was his idea to buy. What a creep Ben is.
Author's Response: Yes, cheatin on Michael is creepy. But Ben's still paying for the house presently, however since it's doubtful he'll come back, the house will have to go. Even if he buys Michael's share, it won't be much money.
