Hi, Alois!  This is - as all your stories are - an intriguing tale.  Both men yearning for the other, but unable to express that, either because of fear or protectiveness (in Brian's sake), or uncertainty (in Justin's sake). 

I love how you have changed Brian's appearance and occupation in such a way that it has thrown Justin off (for now), but yet you have managed to keep a lot of his same mannerisms the same (his snarkiness, sarcastic wit, his use of the word 'brat, etc.).   Very clever.

I think Justin on some subconscious level knows it's Brian.  Just a guess.  And you may have covered this before, but is his voice different?  I'm sure it was mentioned in a previous chapter, but I've forgotten.  There would b e no way that Justin wouldn't recognize that familiar voice. And I also think in their touches, in Brian's scent, in the feelings that are rising to the surface with Justin, he knows somehow that there is a reason why he is attracted to Liam...and I think that will soon become apparent.

And I think Brian's playing with fire by deliberately allowing Justin into his 'new' reality, when he could have discouraged it. But on the other hand, I think he's unable to take advantage of this 'gift' that has been given to him, if it is only for a short time (as I'm sure he feels it is). But something tells me that will change. ;)

As for Connor and Gabriel, once more you have created OCs that I have already come to care aobut. I always adore the back stories you create with other characters in addition to B and J.

Very much looking forward to the rest of your story! Thank you for posting this on here.  ~Kim



Author's Response:

I'm thrilled you think this story is intriguing. No matter how much Brian has changed, there's still a part of him who is Brian Kinney, even though another part is not that man anymore. I have a great time trying to show that, without changing him completely.

You're onto something about Justin unconsciously recognizing Brian. His voice is slightly different, mainly because Brian needs to disguise who he is. He also has been through a lot, and is more... sad, if that makes sense. 

Brian clearly shouldn't have accepted to meet with Justin. Now that he has, and since Justin is so persistent, he can't back down. He also is convinced Justin will be gone soon... but we all know it won't be that simple ;)

I love writing Connor and Gabriel, so I'm elated that the readers like them. It's always so interesting to create OC and to try giving them a real life and a story that can explain who they are. Connor, especially is a delight to write.

Thank you for another wonderful review Kim! I appreciate that so much <3

Justin is going to wonder if he's lost his mind or think that he has a definite 'type'. Even though Brian has changed his name and appearance he can't really change his personality - Justin will pick up on that. It's going to be interesting to see how Brian deals with Justin's pain over his 'death' and Justin's reaction to him being alive... 

Connor and Gabriel - such pain and confusion there too. Need more...



Author's Response:

Yes, Justin doesn't really understand what's happening, or why he is so drawn to Liam. Brian has changed a lot, though (we will know more about what really happened to him later) but this is Justin, the man who never gives up when he wants something.

As for Connor and Gabriel, we will know more, so stay tuned! Thank you very much for your review, I deeply appreciate to read them :)

Hi, Alois :)

 

 

Yes!! I love that they got to spend time together!! Woohoo! LOL  But my heart aches for both of them though. Brian having to be so far away from everyone he knows and being so close to Justin, but not being able to tell him who he is and Justin wanting to be around Brian/Liam but also confused how he is attracted to him right from the start.

I love that Justin is still his aggressive self lol And makes it so he can spend more time with Liam. Again, I am hurting for Brian because of his judgment of himself! He has gone through so much in the last three years. 

I am also looking forward to how you will get Gabriel and Conner back together, hopefully, Gabriel will grow some balls? lol  Because from what I read so far, it does not look like Conner will make the same mistake twice, but I do not feel it would be a mistake this time around.

Thanks for the entertainment, like always :) Again, I am excited to see how you work all this out <3

Author's Response:

I had a great time writing them on that 'lesson'. Of course, it isn't easy for them, but Justin is nothing but perseverant and Liam can't do anything to stop the inevitable from happening.

I also love writing about Connor and Gabriel, whose love story is also going to be a large part in this story. for now, Gabriel needs to stop being afraid, but he's getting there. Connor is not the most confident or the simpliest man, but he's been hurt enough.

I'm thrilled you like this story, Lisa! Thank you for your never-ending support and your friendship <3 <3 <3

Liam and Justin's first, dare I say, date was very sweet and so them. Justin is falling in love again for the first time since Brian, with Liam. Little does he know they are one in the same. It's clear as day to me that Brian is still in love with Justin. There could never be another Justin for Brian so it's not hard to believe he never moved on from him. 

OMG Gabriel and Connor! I had my suspicions but was so focussed on Liam/Brian and Justin that I almost missed it. Gabriel needs to man up and get his head out of his rear end and get with Connor. They will make a beautiful couple. I think it will take some time but it will happen eventually. 

So, back to my favorite boys... my heart hurt when Justin told Liam about his love being murdered and revealed that Liam reminds him of Brian. Well duh! Of course he does! Justin is a smart boy and will figure out soon enough that Liam is Brian in hiding. Especially if they continue to spend time together, which we know they will. It's unavoidable actually. Brian and Justin have always been drawn to each other like magnets. 

I can't wait for Justin to discover the truth and how exactly that will happen. I hope that it's Liam that tells him although in reality I think that's not very likely to happen. At the same time, I'm very concerned about how Justin will react to that turn of events. He will be angry, hurt, and feel the ultimate betrayal. I think it will be hard for him to forgive Brian at first but am confident he will in the end. 

As usual, a beautiful chapter. I can't wait until the next one! 



Author's Response:

I enjoyed writing about this first encounter between them. Love your thoughts about Justin's falling in love. It's exactly what's happening, although he doesn't understand how he can fall so fast.

Gabriel and Connor have history, and will have a large part to play in this story. Gabriel is admitting his feeling, but it took him long enough, and he still needs to fully embrace them. But yes, I promise they will be beautiful together and I'm so SO happy you think so too!

LOL Love your thoughts about this last scene. When the idea of Justin confiding into Liam about Brian popped into my head, I truly considered I was a sadist, but I love that scene, too, since it shows how much they mean to each other.

You're also right to be concerned about what's to come, although it's going to take a few chapters for Justin to discover the truth. I hope I won't disappoint!

As always, your never ending support means so much to me. Thank you! <3

Alois, I had to write another review, of sorts. lol I was just thinking, Justin is going to be soooo pissed when he does realize that Liam is Brian. Everything he went through and everyone else...omg that is going to be so intense! I'm sure he'll be elated once he gets over the initial shock & anger but wow...can't wait for that! When will that be, by the way...



Author's Response:

LOL I love extra reviews :D And... yes, Justin might not be too pleased when he will discover that Brian is alive, espeically since he won't know immediately the reason why Brian did this. To be honest, I have spent a lot of time on the chapter everyone is waiting for, since I felt it was a pivotal moment in this story. I might work on it some more until I post it, to make sure I have it right. As for when it will be, * ahem * if I say soon, but not right away, will you be satisfied? LOL

Oh mon dieu ! Je n'ai pas pu empêcher une petite larme. J'ai hâte du diner. je ne sais pas quand Liam/Brian pourra dire la vérité mais ça va être difficile pour lui parce que l'amour est toujours là !

Et pour Gabriel et Connor c'est compliqué aussi. je veux en savoir plus sur eux et sur leur lien.

Merci pour ce chapitre Alois je suis scotchée par cette histoire, je l'adore vraiment, c'est dur d'attendre les mises à jour ! A bientôt
Amitiés Marie-France

Author's Response:

Et tu ne t'imagines pas le sourire que j'ai quand je lis tes commentaires! Merci mille fois pour ton enthousiasme, ça me fait vraiment chaud au coeur.

La question est de savoir si Liam va tout dire à Justin, ou si Justin va découvrir qui est vraiment Liam. En attendant que cela arrive, cela risque d'être compliqué pour eux. Entre toi et moi, j'ai déjà écrit la scène que tout le monde attend, et j'y ai passé du temps! J'espère que cela te plaira, mais attention, ce n'est pas pour tout de suite.

Merci encore Marie-France et à la semaine prochaine :) <3

Loved every word! The scene with Justin and "Liam" taking photographs was just delightful, and very them. And even in the darkroom... it was hard to read and Justin's sadness and confusion made me teary eyed. But there was a bit of happiness and hope there too. I must be a "brat" too since I can't wait for dinner either!



Author's Response:

Aw, you make me very happy! I'm not sure this story is as popular as the previous ones I've written as it's quite dark, so I'm glad a few readers enjoy this. I loved writing that scene between them! And of course, as the evil author than I am, I couldn't help but having Justin confines in Liam. If he only knew...

Keep being a brat, please :)

Thank you so much for your support on this, I deeply appreciate it <3

Nice chapter! Brian/Liam's inital hesitation about seeing Justin again. The slight touches between them were quite endearing & obviously Justin feels the same connection he had with Brian. Well duh! That's because Liam IS Brian! Clearly he sees & feels the similarities between the two. Can't wait for their dinner!

Nice backstory on Connor & Gabriel. Very interesting. 



Author's Response:

Thanks Glo! It's interesting to write about the two of them connecting while Brian hides who he is and Justin doesn't understand his own feelings. The dinner promises to be * ahem * something (and yes, I'm smirking)

I like to write about Connor and Gabriel. Imagining their backstory was fun. 

Thank you!!!! Hope you're okay, my friend <3

I hope Gabriel stops pussy footing around and really makes a move on Connor.  Can't wait for dinner.  Justin is falling in love with Liam once again.



Author's Response:

Gabriel definitely needs to grow a pair! We'll see if he finally acknowledges his feelings soon. And yes, Justin is already in love, although he doesn't really understand why. 

Thank you as always for your never ending support Phyllis :) <3

You are such a tease! When Justin began to explain why 'Liam' reminded him about his dead partner Brian, I almost lost it. The suspense is killing me. I need more...



Author's Response:

LOL! Love your review :) I know I'm a tease, but this is worth it, right? :D
