Sorry to comment so late I didn't have internet. A beautiful end to this beautiful story. They are ready to make their relationship work while maintaining their sobriety. They will go there slowly but surely and Gus will appreciate finding them. See you soon for the rest!

Do you need to ask if we want you to continue the story?? Please please post the 3 chapters, that you've already written, asap. Love this story so much.

I'm absolutely 1000% looking forward to following Brian & Justin's journey in a sequel. You added just the right amount of a unique twist but stayed close to who they are. This was a wonderful read and can't wait to see how the next part develops! Candy

I don't normally read Wip as I've been burnt many times, mostly my fault when I find a story was never finished. I jumped in as I know you are an author true to your word that you will finish this amazing story. It's captivating to see Brian search to find who he is under the booze, drugs and sex! To see his awakening to how his friends view and treat him is quite eye opening. I love your writing style, your eye for detail, exploring his emotions. Brians abuse of drugs, alcohol and sexual is a side that was never touched on during the show and should have been! Loving this story!! Candy
Author's Response: Candy:
Thank you for your kind words. Yes, I wrote WIP and I totally understand folks who don't want to read a story until it is finished. I hate reading something and then realize the author never finished it. Of course, I have been writing this one for three years, but you're in luck as it will be finished in a couple weeks. Do not despair as there is a sequel. Lol
I always thought that Brian was an alcoholic and I understand that the show was ground breaking and wanted to explore the sexuality and lifestyle more than it did other topics. I don't even remember what made me decide that this was a topic I wanted to write about but it has definitely been a very wonderful journey that I am still working on. I'm pleased that you are enjoying the story and my writing style. My family was amazed that my readers continued to read despite there being no sex for a long time. I told them the story was not a PWP. Thank you for writing.

Another fantastic chapter to this brilliant story. They were both so deep in talking weren't they. I'm so glad Brian took that step to find a new sponsor. I honestly think it will help more than he even knows it will. Justin as well coming to the realisation he needs to talk and reach out as well. I really enjoyed this.
Author's Response: Thanks Vicki. Everybody brings different things to the table, no matter whether they are in recovery or not. Brian and Justin need to talk when things are not so much in the moment.
Reviewer: marie-france (Signed) · Date: February 06, 2022 09:40 AM · On: Chapter 66- You Can't Lie and Be Sober
I'm so ready for this talk between Brian and Justin and they need it too. I think like Brian that Cleo could be a good sponsor. I can't wait to read the next chapter!
Author's Response: The talk will be soon. Cleo is helpful to Brian in different ways than Justin. Each man brings something different to the table.

I can feel both guys emotions they both so want the same thing and it's the figuring out how to is hard. I pray the right sponsor shows up for Brian so it will give him the strength to carry on and have that relationship with Justin. I love how Gus loves his dad and cares about him and wants him happy. I'm loving this so much x
Author's Response: Gus loves his Dad and really wants the best for him. The sponsor will have to be really special.

“Few More Chapters”: I hope you get Brian to find another sponsor to finally be with Justin and the next story will be about their new way of working together and with Gus and the family's reaction to that relationship. A happy ending even if there is a sequel would be welcome!
Thanks for this chapter. Ted and Blake are there to help Brian see more clearly what he wants with Justin who will have a different place in his life.
Author's Response: I'm glad that you are eager to read the "next story". There is a lot going on that could be explored but this first chapter in their lives is coming to a close. Yep, just a few more chapters. Thank you so much for sticking with the story. When I posted last night, I realized that I'd been writing it for 3 years. Yikes. I don't think that I would have undertaken such an endeavor if someone had told me that it would take me 3 years.

Thanks for this update. Despite their change of circumstances Brian and Justin are in a good place. They need to redefine their relationship and at least each one knows what the other is feeling. Brian had a good idea by going to see Ted who is always listening and manages to bring out his anger, and Blake who offers to find him another sponsor can only help the situation. I really like your end of the chapter: "Justin, a sponsor, and a sober lifestyle" it's perfect! Hope we will see this soon.
Author's Response: I thought I responded earlier to your comment and apologize for the delay. Ted is a key character in this story. I find that I like his mild mannered approach and his support of his friend. Brian wants it all and as everyone else, he should have it.

What a great way to start the year with a new chapter in your story and what a great chapter! Brian who confides in Ted and goes to a meeting with him. What a road traveled! And now Justin comes ringing the bell, I hope they will be honest about their feelings and find a solution so as not to endanger their sobriety and try a relationship. I think that's what they both want. Happy new year for you too!

Jeremy is a good sponsor, he also asks the right questions.I hope they will find a solution to continue their relationship together and with Gus. Another sponsor seems to be the solution because they will always be able to talk to each other about their sobriety when they return home.
Have a Happy Holidays.

I'm so proud of Brian reaching that milestone and may he reach more. They sure work great as a team don't they. Gus is going to be so happy when he sees his bed. Oh no I hope Brian catches up with Justin and sorts it out. This was another fantastic chapter x
Author's Response: 6 months is pretty awesome, but now he has something else to deal with. We shall see how they deal with the latest spin.

I think Lindsay needs a new partner in her life. She could be a better mother person. She knows her Brian, she already knows he is serious and now Melanie has planted this horrible fable in her head. Ugh. Update soon. I love this story.
Author's Response: So glad that you are enjoying the story. Lindsay is still very torn between wanting to believe that Brian is changing and wanting him to fail so things can go back to the way they were.

Author's Response: Michael has never been nor will be a favorite character of mine. Between him and the girls, Brian has enough negaivity in his life. I'm jsut glad that he has some positive peple too
Reviewer: marie-france (Signed) · Date: November 22, 2021 08:59 AM · On: Chapter 60- What Are Best Friends For?
Shitty best friends one day, shitty best friends always. Unfortunately for them Brian is not going to give up his sobriety and he likes having Gus. If you could get whatever they throw up to splash onto them that would be great! Very irritating but very informative chapter on the thoughts of the girls and Michael.
Author's Response: Shitty best friends for sure, but they are so used to Brian being a failure they don't know what to think when he is successful.

Wow Brian certainly needed that strength to get through that dinner didn't he. I loved him helping Gus with the dinner and the pride he felt for his son shon out of the page. Those girls I swear they make me want to be very not ladylike at times. I'm very proud of Brian. Fantastic work as always x
Author's Response: Mel and Linds are really showing their true colors. They are surpirsed that he is really changing.
Reviewer: marie-france (Signed) · Date: October 25, 2021 10:30 AM · On: Chapter 59- The "Dinner"
The dinner went well with the help of Brian's friends who provided all the support necessary to cut off the attacks of Lindsay and Mélanie who will want to know more about Justin for sure. Fortunately he is ready for them.Even Debbie is very understanding, it's a nice surprise Another great chapter thank you.
Author's Response: I wonder if there will be any backlash when Debbie thinks about the fact that Michael isn't included. Thank you for continue to read the story.

So proud of Brian, he handled Linsey so well and you could tell he enjoyed asking Ted to join them. I had to giggle at Molly figuring out how the two feel about each other but didn't ever bring it up. This gets better and better x

This just keeps getting better and better. You truly have me captivated by everything that is going on. Gus's excitement over his room is brilliant and I can feel his joy. I can feel Brian's nerves over this dinner but with his true friends by his side he will be fine. I hope he and Justin have a heart to heart soon and Justin becomes a friend rather than sponsor. Fantastic work x
Author's Response: Thank you. Brian is really nervous and I hope that he can enjoy the dinner and here's hoping that no one ruins it for him

I'm as scared as Brian of what the girls might say or do to ruin dinner. By hurting Brian but also Gus. I hope father and son can count on the rest of the guests. Michael is going to whine so much when he sees that he's not invited. Yet it is he who refuses to see the new Brian .Can't wait !

That was so sweet. Brian is such an incredible dad and how he was with Gus cooking blew me away. Plus him cooking with Justin was wonderful and had a closeness to it. I can not wait for the bed shopping.
Author's Response: The bed shopping is a fun one. I just sent the chapter to my beta. Hopefully I'll have time to write some more before the weekend. Justin is enjoying teaching Brian to cook and there is something very intimate about cooking together.

I haven't seen the recipe at the bottom of the chapter! Everything looked delicious. I'm sure their guests will appreciate it. Lindsay doesn't know how to stop but in spite of herself, she gives Brian some pawns so that he has more Gus. Another great chapter. Thank you !
Author's Response: Some of the recipes in the story I have made ( Indian one) and others I just copied. The Indian one is one of my favorites- yum. Lindsay is thinking she is going to wear Brian down by sending every little charge to him, but he has the right idea in that she is just giving him more proof that he is supporting him.

Even though I am super happy that Brian is doing better. The only thing I am wishing every second is for Justin not to be Brian's sponsor anymore. Ahhhhhh!!! But I'll be patient and let things work the way they are supposed to. BTW... Michael is an ass. Lmao
Author's Response: Yes, Justin as Brian's sponsor is a little problematic for many reasons and especially ethical ones. I agree, Michael is an ass. Patience is a virtue and one I hope my readers appreciate. I never thought I'd still be writing this story 2+ years later, but there is so much to tell and my readers seem to enjoy the long tale.

Thank you for the formatting of chapter 53 it was so much more pleasant to (re) read like this! I'm drinking my coffee and suddenly I'm hungry. The chicken cooked by Justin looks excellent, I am thinking of trying this recipe. Brian and Justin's conversations are still as relevant as ever even to someone who doesn't have a sobriety problem. And so Justin has feelings stronger than friendship for Brian. We advance a little. It only remains to wait for dinner between real friends and maybe something will happen at Brian's. A real moment of relaxation with his son and no one who will judge him, now that he understands that Ted and Emmett are real friends who support him and have no ulterior motives.
Author's Response: Marie:
Thanks for letting me know about the formatting. I have to watch it. Justin is also growing, but it has been 18 months of sobriety for him. It is only a 1/3 of the time for Brian. Let's hope it down't take Brian a full year to see if he has feelings for Justin. Besides ( it's taken me almost 2 years to write 5 months, the story has to finish some time- lol). Brian is really understanding what true friendship is and how important it is to admit that people like him for himself.

Inviting Deb to the dinner party would only end up with her doing the cooking which would make Gus upset. I'm enjoying seeing how you manage Brian's problems while giving him options that improve his friendships with Ted and Emmett and going to work without a hangover. I think having a dinner party with Deb, Mikey and Ben might be an idea, because Ben could be the voice of reason.
Author's Response: Before Michael would be invited, he would have to accept Brian's sobriety. Debbie would try to cook, so that would be hurtful to Gus.

You keep going at your own pace I'm enjoying how it's playing out. Sobriety isn't quick.
This was so good, loved Gus talking about food and wanting to do a dinner. Emmet was so supportive along with Justin that Brian didn't panic to much. I look forward to seeing how it plays out. As for the big idiot child he needs a swift kick up the arse, I swear. Shake him and you will hear a rattle .
Brilliant work as always x
Author's Response: Thank you for the comment. Gus has always wanted to have a dinner that he and Brian cook. He is confident that he can cook after only a few forays with Emmett. We wil see how well and Brian handle making their first chicken attemp.
Reviewer: marie-france (Signed) · Date: August 01, 2021 07:53 AM · On: Chapter 53- Dinner Party and Guests
I think it's a long-standing friendship that is going to end. Michael is stuck with his mantra "I am your best friend" "I will take you home to safety". Michael needs to make changes too, but as usual he doesn't listen. I can't wait to see how the dinner organized and cooked by Gus and Brian will go.
It was hard to read this chapter its formatting was weird everything was glued!!!
Author's Response: Thanks for letting me know the formatting came out weird. I fixed it!!! Brian's willingness to walk away and to go straight to a meeting shows how much growth he has experienced. Hopefully, Michael won't cause any more trouble.
Reviewer: HJ1225 (Signed) · Date: July 31, 2021 10:22 PM · On: Chapter 53- Dinner Party and Guests
WOW! I can't tell if Michael is obtuse (can anyone be that obtuse?), stupid (not even he can be that stupid), deaf (well, he could have made himself deaf with all his whining) or just evil (leaning towards this, though I am and always have been biased about him being rotten to the core/evil, so it may just be me).
Poor Brian, I have to think his heart is a little (or a lot) broken. The pain that he must feel that his "best friend" wants him to be a drunk just so he can have a way to "take care of him" must be awful.
Really love the relationship that is growing with Gus. They don't seem like strangers any more.
Great job!
Author's Response: I've never been a Michael fan and even though this is somewhat of an alternate universe, I still have kept many things the same. Michael is obtuse and stupid and really for him it is "all about me". Every conversation he had was always about him and how it impacted him. I think some of the pain has already been dealt with through his long journey and the many times Michael has already shown he just doesn't "get it". I'm really pleased that you are getting a sense of the relationhsop between Gus and Brian. Since this relationship wasn't really shown much in the show, it is a real compliment that my writing has given you that perspective.

It's good that Gus doesn't ask for things he doesn't really need. Can you imagine Mel and Lindsay if Brian bought him loads of stuff. Brian needs Justin if he is to make it through this journey.

I found this chapter really touching. Gus was fantastic asking those questions and enjoying his time with Emmett as well. As usual the talks really really moved me. Thank you for writing this x
Reviewer: marie-france (Signed) · Date: July 20, 2021 07:40 AM · On: Chapter 52- Relationships and Friendship
Emmett is a really great friend. Justin and Emmett are going to like each other I think. Gus and Brian enjoy their time together especially as it is seen that Gus doesn't appreciate his mothers' incessant remarks about his father. Gus loves his father and their connection. Maybe they can have more time together. Justin and Brian seem to be getting closer, even though there is still a long way to go. Thanks for the update.

I really enjoyed this chapter watching Brian make those amends was so good. I could feel it free up some of the tightness I'm sure holding on needing to that can cause. I loved him reaching out to Emmet for help with Gus and they will have fun learning to cook new things. Brian sure has come such a long way. Fantastic work x
Author's Response: Brian is moving forward with his journey and learning how to ask for help.
Reviewer: marie-france (Signed) · Date: June 28, 2021 08:53 AM · On: Chapter 51- Conversations with Friends
What a great chapter. Emmett is truly a true friend that Brian discovers through his sobriety. And Justin will certainly be part of their evening. I can't wait to see him and Emmett meet. I also think making amends to Ted Emmett and Cynthia was the easy part. Let's wait and see how the rest of the family will react.

He is so lucky to have Justin and Gus and Cynthia. I can't wait to see what is next. I'm loving this so much x

Another very nice discussion between Brian and Justin. I also think his making amends with Ted will be fine, as with Cynthia. I hope he will bring himself to speak with Michael. He needs to really know where Michael is with Brian's sobriety and be able to move on. I hope Emmett will agree to stay with Gus. They are going to have a lot of fun I think.
Author's Response: His discussion with Michael will be interesting indeed. It may be interesting to see how Brian decides to discuss issues with Michael.

I do have to admit that I would like to see how the rest of the family is taking the changes with Brian and what they are up to.

It's good to see that Brian is interested in doing something that Gus wants to do and that Gus seems to enjoying hanging out with Justin. A win/win. I'm surprised that Mikey hasn't tried to hog Brian's time.

It was a very pleasant day that I spent with them. Gus is a very curious and very intelligent little guy. I hope Emmett finds time to be with Gus while Brian goes to his meetings because I'm not sure what would happen if Brian brought him back to the girls and I feel that worries Gus too. Brian and Justin become good friends and I would love to see an evening with them Gus Ted and Emmett. I hope you have planned this! Thanks for the update and take care of you.

Thanks for the update. Another very interesting chapter on the road to sobriety, their discussions are fascinating. Gus enjoys going on tours with Justin. It's good that Brian was honest with Gus about his mothers. He made him understand that it was not him the problem but the money he could bring by manipulating his father. He must be relieved to have understood that. I hope that in two weeks you can take us to visit the bicycle museum with them, but we don't always do as we would like.
Author's Response: I'm enjoying watching them explore their relationship and Gus learn who his father really is. We shall see if we get to see them explore the musuem.

Melanie is really desperate to prevent Brian from seeing Gus. With her lies I hope she will have problems with her employers, which she is doing is not acceptable. Brian is determined to have a good weekend with Gus and I'm sure everything will be fine. Gus is really happy with his father. And Gus asked the right question!
Author's Response: I think Melanie has found that he lies are only going to hurt her. Now Gus is asking why his moms are so manipulative.

Glad to read that you can post every 2 weeks as I can't wait to read more and especially if the girls are going to stop Brian from taking Gus. Because even though Melanie as a lawyer knows she can't do much about Gus, she might still try to piss off Brian.
Author's Response: I apologzie for not responding earlier. I thought I did. I really enjoyed writing Molly and Brian together. Once she realized that Brian was not hitting on her, they enjoyed viewing the show. Melanie is just not smart when it comes to Brian. I think she has tunnel vision.

It was a good discussion with Deb and I hope she doesn't talk to Michael he has to make his decisions on his own. Girls always so slutty, luckily Gus shows everyone another side of his father that leaves everyone speechless except Emmett and Ted of course. You didn't say if Ted and Blake were at dinner. Brian will need all of their support. I can't wait to see what Brian's lawyer comes up with, the girls are going to be crazy! Things seem to be moving forward a bit between Brian and Justin. They are creating a good relationship. Thanks for the update.
Author's Response: Despite her faults, Debbie still cares deeply for Brian. While she is quick to judge, she is also quick to listen. Ted would stay quite as he knows Brian wouldn't feel the need for him to speak up. As for the girls, they will be in for a rude awakening by the time Brian is finished.

Brian and Gus have a great collusion and are going to enjoy their time together. It seems that Gus has a lot of bad things to do with his mothers. Brian is going to fix this by being closer. Now I can't wait for the Brian Justin evening and I wonder when things will move forward between them, even if the road to sobriety is more important!
Author's Response: Brian and Gus will most certainly enjoy their time together . Gus doesn't like some of the things that his mothers do, but he is enjoying his time with his dad. Eventually, we might see them together ( no spoilers here, but if you have read any of my work, you know they will be together eventually)

It looks like Brian is learning a lot by giving up alchohol. Cooking seems like a great start.
Author's Response: I love that he is willing to explore new things.

I am really enjoying this story. I loved the Brian & Sonny Boy interactions. Can I just say that I love Emmett. I wouldn't mind in the least a little more of him.
Looking forward to reading more soon.
Author's Response: Now that Brian is not drinking, he is really learning about friendships.

Way to go Brian that's exactly how to handle them. I love how Cynthia looks after him as well she is a wonderful friend to him. I look forward to seeing Justin call over and the fault out from this.
Author's Response: Brian knows how to handle Lindsay and he did it perfectly.
