Thanks for not making Brian a total ass...we all know he loves Justin.Even if Justine doesn't think so right now.  This is intense. Thank you for the update

 



Author's Response:

I'm glad you're sticking with it even through the intensity. And I will never make Brian an ass...I adore him.

Wow, what a tough chapter!!!  I could totally feel for Justin in this chapter, thinking that Brian just left him; that he just couldn't deal with him anymore.   But that was very sweet that he called Daphne to go and visit him.   And I am so happy that he came back the next day.   I'm thinking maybe after visiting Justin, Daphne may have gone and talked with Brian.    But how sweet was it that he was wearing one of Justin's shirts?    



Author's Response:

Brian wearing Justin's clothing is the sweetest. And Daphne is a BriTin cheerleader - she will do whatever she can!

Justin is not alone.  Brian isn't exactly all happiness and light. 



Author's Response:

So true, they are each suffering in their own way. 

Reviewer: cullengirl08 (Signed) · Date: November 05, 2018 11:02 PM · On: Chapter 5: Walk Away

While I'm glad that Justin told Brian about his thoughts of possibly harming him and Gus, I hope that after it sinks in a little further, Brian will go back to see him.    Just walking about was not good at all.   I believe that is going to make Justin even more depressed.   I understand his concerns, however, Brian is his whole support system and Justin is getting help for his issues.   They aren't just going ignored.   



Author's Response:

Brian's actions are hurting Justin right now...the angst! 

Reviewer: cullengirl08 (Signed) · Date: November 05, 2018 10:49 PM · On: Chapter 4: The Interview

After everything Justin has been through - Craig kicking him out, the bashing, the side effects from the bashing, as well as his moving around a lot and never really being in one place a lot, I can see where a lot of his symptoms are coming from. 



Author's Response:

Thank you! I'm glad it makes sense! 

Reviewer: YumYumPM (Signed) · Date: November 05, 2018 07:57 PM · On: Chapter 4: The Interview

It seemed that the doctor asked a shitload of question, but even better he listened.  Great chapter.



Author's Response:

Tons of questions!

I really like this story, even if it's dark enough. Seing Justin so badly hurt. I hope he can have the right treatment and that Brian will be near him.

Author's Response:

I'm glad you're enjoying it! Thanks for reading!

Umm, I'm hoping you are not speaking from experience.  It is so realistic.  Will Brian be able to keep this from Jennifer and Daphne?



Author's Response:

I work in the mental health profession so it is speaking from experience in some ways. I've also experienced depression and anxiety myself. I also hope that this fic reduces stigma around mental health concerns and seeking treatment.

Was it the dullness of being back where he started do you suppose?



Author's Response:

Depression is caused by many things, not usually one thing, but probably coming back to Pittsburgh was a trigger. 

Reviewer: cullengirl08 (Signed) · Date: November 04, 2018 08:46 PM · On: Chapter 3: 5150

I just found this story!!   I am totally hooked and looking forward to seeing how it all plays out!!   



Author's Response:

Thank you! I hope you continue to enjoy it!

 I am glad Brian helped Justin help himself. But something tells me its going to be a bumpy ride. Let the angst begin...



Author's Response:

Yes, Brian will always see Justin as capable of helping himself and will try to do what he can to make that happen. You called it...an angsty bumpy ride is ahead of us. 

Reviewer: Enohvee1875 (Signed) · Date: November 04, 2018 06:41 AM · On: Chapter 2 - Back to Pitts

Oh my god! Justin has left the building. This chapter was sooooo intense. Loved it.



Author's Response:

Glad you're loving the intensity because it's going to be intense for a bit! 

Reviewer: Predec2 (Signed) · Date: November 03, 2018 01:09 PM · On: Chapter 2 - Back to Pitts

Hello, Amanda!  Wow, what an intense chapter.  I could have seen this happening on the show. It had to have been a big letdown to come home after experiencing such an exciting time in LA with the movie, even though he did miss Brian.

I really liked the first part especially of this chapter when you described how Justin kept tabs on Brian by getting information from his friends.  And as I mentioned in the first chapter review, I think you have both of their characters down very well.  Loved this line, BTW:  "I was in constant contact with everyone in Pitts trying to soak up as much Brian as I could like secondhand smoke."  Great!  And so true when it comes to Brian.  And I liked how you mentioned that despite his job, he still wasn't good at written communication.  Very accurate and ironic!

Really enjoying this, Amanda, and so glad you're posting it here for us to enjoy.  Looking forward to reading the rest!  ~Kim



Author's Response:

Thank you! I'm so glad you're enjoying it. Justin has been through so much - including the movie being cancelled. He was always portrayed as doing just fine on the show but I think he must have struggled. 

And yes! Whatever contact Justin and Brian had while Justin was away would have been very limited. I just can't imagine Brian on the phone chatting about his day. Everyone else would have been more than happy to fill Justin in on the goings on of the Great Kinney, however. 

Thank you for reading! There's more to come.

I enjoyed yor account of the Hollywood arc. So happy Brian decided to pay Sunshine a visit. Please update soon.



Author's Response:

Thank you! I will! I've got the next 3, almost 4, chapters drafted. 

Reviewer: YumYumPM (Signed) · Date: November 02, 2018 03:32 PM · On: Chapter 1: Rage in LA

Like all the little touches.  Did Brian get to go back?



Author's Response:

Sadly no...Rage got cancelled before he could go back out. We'll pick up in Chapter 2 back in Pittsburgh.

Hello, Amanda! Welcome to Midnight Whispers!  We're always delighted to see a new writer on MW.  Thank you for choosing to post your story on here.

I would have loved for Brian to have carried through with his desire to go visit Justin on the show, so I'm happy to see you writing about it. I really enjoyed your first chapter, and think you have their characterizations down very well. I will be looking forward to reading the next part! 

If there is anything I or the other admins can do to assist you in any way, please do not hesitate to ask.  FYI, I did space out the paragraphs one extra line to make them a little easier to read.  Hope that's okay. Did not change anything else. :)

Thanks again for joining MW and posting on here!  It's great so far!  ~Kim

 

 



Author's Response:

Thank you for the warm welcome! I figured it was time to stop lurking ;)

Brian is my favorite so to hear that I got the characterization down is a huge compliment!

Thank you for the help with formatting - I'm not tech savvy at all so I welcome any and all help!
