Reviewer: marie-france (Signed) · Date: July 17, 2023 09:35 AM · On: Chapter 27- Moving Day

I really liked this story. Witnessing Brian's journey to sobriety through his diary, Justin and Cleo was really interesting. And the evolution of his relationship with Gus too. Thanks for sharing this story.

Author's Response:

Thank you.  I appreciate your support and comments along the way.  So glad you enjoyed the story.

Reviewer: marie-france (Signed) · Date: July 02, 2023 09:39 AM · On: Chapter 26- Two Men and an Argument

Their first argument was something! Brian has a lot to learn and I think Justin has a lot of patience.

Author's Response:

Justin has shown his patience over hte last year.   Patience is needed in new relationships.  

Reviewer: marie-france (Signed) · Date: June 18, 2023 08:24 AM · On: Chapter 25- The Next Step

Brian has changed so much. He talks about his feelings and what he wants without hiding. I'm a little sad that this story is ending but I'm sure they'll get there.

Author's Response:

Marie:

 

There are a few more chapters.   I may write some additional stories in this universe, but I will be waiting a few weeks to start up again.

Reviewer: marie-france (Signed) · Date: June 04, 2023 10:00 AM · On: Chapter 24- Lindsay the Inquisitor

I imagine Lindsay pursing her lips so much! She hasn't been able to get near Justin and Molly is probably not going to help her. I think a lot of people see through her game especially the pro- Brian who know him well and know how much Lindsay wants to put a spoke in the wheel for Gus.

Author's Response:

Lindsay is wanting to foul things up and she doesn't like taht her conniving is being thwarted.

Reviewer: marie-france (Signed) · Date: May 23, 2023 08:41 AM · On: Chapter 23- Dinner Prep

The dinner looks very appetizing. Melanie is really a bitch. Gus is a charming boy and his complicity with Emmett is formidable. He has so many questions and Emmett has the cautious but realistic answers.

Author's Response:

I really like Emmett and Ted in this universe.  I find that sometimes when I write I enjoy writing the minor characters from the show and giving them major roles.

Reviewer: marie-france (Signed) · Date: April 24, 2023 08:11 AM · On: Chapter 22- Sobriety is Like Relationships

Brian is sure of his feelings for Justin and they are slowly coming to pass. Let's see how the family meal is going to go. I so want Lindsay to get roughed up.

Author's Response:

I apologize for not responding as I thought I had.  I agree, Lindsay getting roughed up would be awesome.  

Reviewer: marie-france (Signed) · Date: April 09, 2023 09:05 AM · On: Chapter 21- Assumptions Gone Wrong

Sorry to hear that you brought back the covid from your beautiful trip. I hope you are well now. Brian is really like a teenager in this relationship, luckily Justin is patient with him and explains everything that worries him. Their discussions are so interesting. A few more adjustments and they will be ready to live together. Thanks for the update.

Author's Response:

I'm fairly well reocvered now.  Brian is learning so much from Justin and I love their conversations.

Reviewer: marie-france (Signed) · Date: March 12, 2023 09:13 AM · On: Chapter 20- Late Night Conversations

I can't wait to read if their first sex party is going to be ruined, I hope not but Justin looks so surprised! Otherwise Gus has completely accepted Justin and is eager to do things with him.

Author's Response:

I had to leave my readers with a little cliff hanger.  LOL.  Gus and Justin get along great, so there is no concern there.  As always, thanks for reading and always commenting.

Reviewer: marie-france (Signed) · Date: February 18, 2023 09:18 AM · On: Chapter 19- When are you ready to date?

I really like this chapter where Brian can see that a relationship has good sides and that he appreciates them. I can't wait to read how the family dinner will go.

Author's Response:

thank you.  The family dinner will be a bit- they have some things to explore first

Reviewer: marie-france (Signed) · Date: January 29, 2023 09:52 AM · On: Chapter 18- Moving Forward Part 2

Another great chapter. It's so nice to see Gus' enthusiasm for his dad and Justin. In addition through his words we can see that his mothers do not facilitate his relationship with his father. I can't wait to see them all reunited with Molly!

Author's Response:

Gus is enjoying Justin and his Dad being toghether.  His moms do not really emphasize the good things his dad does.

Reviewer: ForeverLove50 (Signed) · Date: January 21, 2023 10:11 AM · On: Chapter 17- Moving Forward

Yup! Iā€™m Still reading this! šŸ˜Ž



Author's Response:

Thank you for letting me know.  I know it has been a difficult few months with a long time between updates, but that should hopefully be handled now.  I'm glad you took the time to let me know.

Reviewer: ForeverLove50 (Signed) · Date: January 21, 2023 10:11 AM · On: Chapter 17- Moving Forward

Yup! Iā€™m Still reading this! šŸ˜Ž

Reviewer: marie-france (Signed) · Date: January 17, 2023 11:59 AM · On: Chapter 17- Moving Forward

I loved this chapter. Together against Lindsay yeah! I can't wait to hear Gus' reaction but I think he's going to love Justin and his dad in a relationship...

Author's Response:

Thank you.  Gus will be super excited.  he really likes Justin and the three of them have such fun together.

Reviewer: Draccone (Signed) · Date: January 17, 2023 01:49 AM · On: Chapter 17- Moving Forward

Ahhh, I can't wait for more. I finally caught up. I was glued and then it ended. Thanks for writing this wonderful tale. I'll be looking forward for the next chapter.

Author's Response:

Thank you for letting me know that you enjoyed the story.  More is coming.  My life is settling down, hopefully I'll be able to write more soon.

Reviewer: Draccone (Signed) · Date: January 17, 2023 01:36 AM · On: Chapter 1- Late Night Calls

Lindsay gets me so angry. I'm so happy Brian changed his mind. This is soooo good.

Reviewer: ForeverLove50 (Signed) · Date: January 01, 2023 02:48 AM · On: Chapter 16- The Morning After

Lindsey was and will always be a Bitch to me.

Reviewer: ForeverLove50 (Signed) · Date: January 01, 2023 02:48 AM · On: Chapter 16- The Morning After

Lindsey was and will always be a Bitch to me.

Author's Response:

I'm so sorry that it took so long to resond.  I'm not a Lindsay fan,

Reviewer: marie-france (Signed) · Date: December 12, 2022 10:25 AM · On: Chapter 16- The Morning After

Brian enjoyed his morning that's a good thing. Michael made his imagination work but who would have doubted it! Brian's true friends, Ted and Emmett are worried about him and want to help him not judge him. Lindsay really thinks she can influence Justin? That she continues to dream, he knows her well thanks to Brian and he will not let himself be manipulated. It's good that Brian told her four truths! I appreciated that she remained speechless at his words! Go Brian!

Author's Response:

Sorry for the delay in responding.  Michael only sees what he wants to.  Ted and Emmett are good friends and Brian's lucky to have them.

Reviewer: marie-france (Signed) · Date: November 21, 2022 09:22 AM · On: Chapter 15- Decisions and Truths

Their relationship is taking a turn. I like this ! Brian manages to confide in Justin

Author's Response:

I love their relationship and watching it grow.

Reviewer: debv3 (Signed) · Date: November 20, 2022 12:33 AM · On: Chapter 15- Decisions and Truths

Still loving this!  Go Brian calling Cleo. 



Author's Response:

So happy to hear that you are enjoying the story.  It makes me happy.  I love Cleo.

Reviewer: marie-france (Signed) · Date: November 06, 2022 11:04 AM · On: Chapter 14- The Diner

Cleo to the rescue! He makes Brian understand that his situation is the same as that of a schoolgirl in love since he has never known this feeling.He is making really good progress!

Author's Response:

Cleo is all about teaching Brian the things he should have learned in high school.

Reviewer: marie-france (Signed) · Date: October 11, 2022 07:33 AM · On: Chapter 13 Making Plans and Carrying Them Out

Brian is progressing well in his introspection. Michael seemed to me like a demon who wants to hijack Brian, unfortunately nothing new. Fortunately Cleo will come to her rescue.

Author's Response:

Michael does not change.  He still thinks that Brian is not an alcoholic

Reviewer: chadmom63 (Signed) · Date: October 10, 2022 02:15 AM · On: Chapter 13 Making Plans and Carrying Them Out

Still reading! Really enjoying this story!



Author's Response:

Thanks for letting me know.  I appreciate that you took the time to tell me.

Reviewer: Crookedhalo1 (Signed) · Date: October 09, 2022 04:06 PM · On: Chapter 10- Endorphins

Sorry I tried to read this chapter and I crapped out.  When sex came in I went out, I tried to read but I couldn't.  It's like Brian now has to schedule sex and think what it means how to analyze it, blah blah blah.  Instead of it being an expression of their attractiveness to each other, it had to be a planned event.  If I were Brian, I would now rather have sex with a cactus.  I understand you don't want to release one addiction to fall into another, but when sex has to be a questionable, analyzed, well thought out chore...who could get off?



Author's Response:

Thank you for the feedback.  Brian still is struggling  and that can get frustrating.  But I hope this doesn't turn you off from continuing the story.  

Reviewer: Lorma (Signed) · Date: September 21, 2022 12:38 PM · On: Chapter 12- History Revealed

Glad the text problem got cleared up.  Clearly they are on a path towards a real relationship.



Author's Response:

There are always bumps along the way.  Thanks for reading and commenting.

Reviewer: marie-france (Signed) · Date: September 20, 2022 08:06 AM · On: Chapter 12- History Revealed

Brian looks at Justin as if he could guess his thoughts, luckily Gus is more open and asks the question that's been bothering Brian for days. Brian still has a long way to go to open up and say what he thinks or feels. It's good that we learn more about Justin thanks to his meal with his agent. Well, nicer things later will reassure Brian haha!!

Author's Response:

I know my readers want to know some of Justin's back story and Brian's story should be told too.  Maybe soon they will start to share more.

Reviewer: marie-france (Signed) · Date: September 02, 2022 09:04 AM · On: Chapter 11- Serenity

Brian needs to learn to trust his "relationship" with Justin and not imagine the worst. I get it though , it was a little frustrating not having Justin around in this chapter. Happy Holidays

Author's Response:

Brian is still very uncertain about the dating relationship.  He has to work through a lot of uncertainty.

Reviewer: marie-france (Signed) · Date: August 21, 2022 08:47 AM · On: Chapter 10- Endorphins

Brian is progressing really well in his alcoholic and sexual sobriety. He discovers himself and the new Brian is much improved! His diary is always so constructive and I like to know his thoughts, his questions that help him to move forward in his sobriety. Thanks for the update .

Author's Response:

Marie:

 

I really enjoy the diary and I think it is a great way for the reader to understand what is going on in Brian's mind.  We are the fly on the wall, so to speak. Thank you for your continued support and comments.  It means a lot to know you took the time to let me know that you are reading the story.

Reviewer: marie-france (Signed) · Date: July 27, 2022 07:23 AM · On: Chapter 9- Aftermath

Brian went through a lot of emotions and questions in this chapter. Luckily he has Cleo and his dear diary!:

Author's Response:

I love using the diary as a sounding board.   Thanks for your continued comments.

Reviewer: MaggieMay13 (Signed) · Date: July 12, 2022 02:49 AM · On: Chapter 8- The Date

I'm still reading. I really enjoy this story. Thanks



Author's Response:

Thank you.   I appreciate you letting me know you  are still reading!!1

Reviewer: marie-france (Signed) · Date: July 11, 2022 08:02 AM · On: Chapter 8- The Date

What a beautiful date! They are really moving slowly. I don't know if you're planning on sharing what Debbie thinks of her son's attitude, but I think Brian has definitely eliminated him. Thanks for the update. I look forward to reading Brian's thoughts of all that's happening in his diary. I love this story.

Author's Response:

Thank you.  I like using the diary to help the readers understand Brian's motivations.

Reviewer: marie-france (Signed) · Date: June 18, 2022 08:54 AM · On: Chapter 7 Feelings and Emotions

Cleo knows how to press where it hurts to move Brian forward.

Author's Response:

Cleo is everything Brian needs but it is soemtimes hard to hear.  Thank you so much for your contunued support and comments.  It means a lot to me.

Reviewer: marie-france (Signed) · Date: June 05, 2022 09:14 AM · On: Chapter 6- The Fear of Dates

Lindsay is still a bitch! I can't wait to see how the date goes. I still love Brian and his diary so much. All his feelings and all his questions are there

Author's Response:

I like the use of the diary to show his feelings.  I don't think he would be at a point to talk about them but writing them down is another matter.  So glad you are still enjoying the story.

Reviewer: Lorma (Signed) · Date: June 04, 2022 01:16 PM · On: Chapter 6- The Fear of Dates

Lindsay is so annoying.  She'll do anything she can to try and control Brian.  It is more than obvious she doesn't want him dating Justin.  Brian is trying so hard to change his life.  Can't wait for the "date."



Author's Response:

Lindsay is not my favorite character and I really beleive the show portrayed her as wanting the best of both worlds-  Mel and Brian.  The date should be fun.

Reviewer: vic32 (Signed) · Date: June 02, 2022 12:21 PM · On: Chapter 5 Childhood Memories

I LOVE this so much. I find I look forward to the conversations in this and this chapter had a bunch of them. I feel like I'm sitting at the table listening to them and nodding along to their words. Gus is a very respectful child and I love that about him. He isn't stomping his feet or screaming to get his way. Plus Brian and Justin are adorable and I honestly can't wait for more. Thank you for writing this.

Vickie:

  I'm so pleased to know that you look forward to reading the story.  That means a lot.  I know that there are fewer readers in the community these days and I'm happy to have readers enjoying my work.

Reviewer: marie-france (Signed) · Date: May 15, 2022 08:51 AM · On: Chapter 5 Childhood Memories

It's so touching how the three of them behave. jI think they are moving in the right direction. Slowly but surely .

Author's Response:

Hopefully they will move a little quicker in the dating realm than in the initial sobreity.  ( lol)

Reviewer: Lorma (Signed) · Date: May 14, 2022 01:16 PM · On: Chapter 5 Childhood Memories

Brian, Justin and Gus interact like a little family already.  This relationship thing with Justin seems to be moving along smoothly.  It is interesting to see Brian learning as he explores his feelings.  It is a good thing that he sees the need to be alone with Justin at times.



Author's Response:

I like the dynamics, but Brian and Justin have a ways to go.  Thank you for continuing to read the story.

Reviewer: vic32 (Signed) · Date: May 05, 2022 06:44 AM · On: Chapter 4- Remaking a Life

I'm loving seeing Brian getting stronger and stronger. That chat with Cleo was such a great one and the writing in the journal afterwards was another breakthrough. I could feel the impact it had on him jump off the page. Fantastic work as always x



Author's Response:

Viki:

 

Thanks for the wonderful comments.  As always, I cherish each review.

Reviewer: marie-france (Signed) · Date: May 02, 2022 08:10 AM · On: Chapter 4- Remaking a Life

I like Cleo. He makes Brian think a lot about what his life was like with alcohol.

Author's Response:

I do too.  Cleo is really good for Brian.  

Reviewer: Lorma (Signed) · Date: April 22, 2022 12:20 PM · On: Chapter 3- Is Talking Over Rated?

Justin is so good at getting Brian to confront his past behaviors and feelings.  I think it is so good that they are airing feelings before jumping right into the relationship.  It is obvious that Justin is afraid of being hurt and he is being clear of his expectations.  Brian obviously does not want to lose Justin and is slowly discovering what a relationship would mean.  You are doing such a good job writing this.



Author's Response:

Thank you.  I jsut imagine what it would be like to start dating at Brian's age.  It would be daunting and he is so out of his league.

Reviewer: vic32 (Signed) · Date: April 21, 2022 06:45 PM · On: Chapter 3- Is Talking Over Rated?

I really love that these two can talk so openly and freely. It shows how close and strong they are get. I LOVED how Brian spoke to Lindsey that was the best. Fantastic work as always can't wait for more. 



Author's Response:

Brian is no longer fearing that Lindsay will keep gus awar from him.  he's learning to stand up for what he wants

Reviewer: marie-france (Signed) · Date: April 21, 2022 07:30 AM · On: Chapter 3- Is Talking Over Rated?

What a great conversation. Justin really wants to explore every angle of their relationship

Author's Response:

I hope they will have lots of great conversations.

Reviewer: vic32 (Signed) · Date: April 08, 2022 09:40 AM · On: Chapter 2- Being in Control

That moved me so much. I could hear Brian's voice right throughout this whole chapter. I can't wait to see how this plays out. Fantastic work x



Author's Response:

Thank you.  I'm really enjoying using the journal to let the readers inside of Brian's head.

Reviewer: marie-france (Signed) · Date: April 04, 2022 07:58 AM · On: Chapter 2- Being in Control

Thanks for this chapter. This new Brian is really interesting. He doesn't hesitate to talk to Ted and Justin who are good advice about Lindsay. I also really like his diary, he says so much. We know him better and better.

Author's Response:

Thanks.  I'm enjoying the diary.  It is a great way to let us inside Brian's head.

Reviewer: vic32 (Signed) · Date: March 21, 2022 09:25 AM · On: Chapter 1- Late Night Calls

So happy to see a sequel to the last story. This was such a brilliant first chapter to it. I love that Brian is talking so much more freely and with a different kind of confidence. I know I'm gonna love this. 

Reviewer: Marny (Signed) · Date: March 20, 2022 05:45 PM · On: Chapter 1- Late Night Calls

Great beginning of the sequel. I'm gonna love this.

* hugs *

It's Marny not Marne.

What happens with the black frame (on the top and right) of the banner?



Author's Response:

I'll correct the spelling. As for th banner, I copied it directly from your message.  Not sure why it is different.

Reviewer: marie-france (Signed) · Date: March 20, 2022 08:52 AM · On: Chapter 1- Late Night Calls

Glad to see the sequel. Brian and Justin really take it slow and ask good questions. Luckily Brian is calm, he could strangle Lindsay who is still looking for a way to control him or make him appear unconscious. Gus and him have a good relationship, they talk a lot and so he knew that nothing was planned for the holidays by his mothers. Anyway, since they want Brian to pay for the smallest thing, they would make him pay through the nose for an expensive vacation. I guess Lindsay is pissed because it's not at her request so she can't pressure her. Thanks for the new story. Oh beautiful banner!!

Author's Response:

Glad that you like the start of the new story. I hope that folks like it as well.  Hopefully, it will not be as long as the original.   The baaner is from Marny-  she did a great job.
