Finally the Trish is out. Brian wanting to KILL is what I need too. These bastards. Poor Justin :( Brian got him this time. I hope he won't allow Justin to keep running away.

Great story. Very angsty, but good characterisation. Looking forward to the next chapter.
Author's Response: Thanks :) Glad you like it, despite the angst-factor.

OMG!!!! I have been waiting for this chapter for soo long and it was compleately beautiful, and the best part is that you managed to keep everyone totally in character, something that most writters can't do in a story like this one. Also, I'm so glad Brian finally knows what happened but the way he found out was a total mess and so horrible for him. However I'm happy it happened 'cause at least now he'll be able to help Justin and beat the shit out of the Sap! Please keep writting! oh, and I wanted to aks you if you have a livejournal page or something like that? 'cause I would love to add you to my friends so I can keep track of all your stories. =)
Author's Response: I was kind of worried about Brian this chapter, so I'm really glad you thought everyone was in character. I always wonder if they're all coming off right. :) The way Brian found out was pretty horrible (sorry, I'm cruel to him). Out of Daphne, Justin, and Michael all knowing...he had to find out by linking some gossip to what happened to his boyfriend. That definitely could have gone better. Now that he knows, though, he and Justin can finally start to deal with this like they should have been doing a month ago. I don't know exactly what's going to happen to Sap yet, but I have a good idea. If he doesn't get what's coming to him anyway, Brian is intent on making him pay. Sorry, I have a livejournal page, but I've posted about four things on it, and three of them were chapters from this fic. I've been having some technical problems with the site, I don't really post over there much. All my QAF stuff is here and on fanfiction.net. If you want the link to my stuff there, there's not much QAF stuff over there that isn't here, (I think like, one fic), but if you want it, email me :) Thanks so much for reading and reviewing :)

I am so hooked on this story, I was practically jumping up and down in my chair when I saw an update...this was definitely the chapter I'd been waiting for from the start, and it was worth the wait. Most stories like this have Justin miraculously recovered in three or four chapters or, worse, have him magically healed through sex with Brian which (no matter how hot) isn't really believable. This is just so heartbreakingly beautifully and realistically written...I haven't read your other work, but this one is amazing. It's one of the best stories I've ever read out of any fandom, on any theme. Every chapter has left me speechless.I'm happy Brian finally found out the truth about what happened to Justin. Now they can both really start dealing. And I'm kind of glad actually that Michael got off the hook having to be the one to tell Brian; though he will still have to deal with Brian finding out that he’s known for days.I'm wondering right now whether Justin will find the courage to go to the police, once he knows someone else had The Sap arrested. The more people that come forward, the greater the likelihood of a conviction, right? Though I doubt that Justin is able to think like that at the moment.(It would be great if Daphne saved those clothes Justin was wearing that night in a plastic bag or something as evidence...) all of that assuming Brian doesn't beat The Sap to death first...(I think that would be too good for him though. I think he’d suffer more in jail.) Okay, I think I'll stop there...as always, I'll be waiting eagerly (obsessively) for the next one.
Author's Response: Wow, thanks so much :D I'm so happy you like the story, and that this chapter was worth the wait. :) Healing is going to be a long process for Justin, one that just can't happen overnight. (Though I wish it could...I hate writing him so depressed.) And he definitely won't be having sex with Brian any time soon. Yeah, Justin couldn't heal alone. Now that Brian's found out, they can start trying to deal together. Brian's not going to be happy to find out that Michael knew and didn't tell him, of course...Mikey's not off the hook yet. I haven't decided exactly what's going to happen with Sap yet, though I have an idea. Justin's not really thinking about going to the police...if anything, Brian might try to convince him to go, but it will be up to Justin. Well, and me, lol. Thanks again for reading and reviewing :)

This was just amazing! Not at all suprised Brian reacted this way. He would go to the ends of the Earth for Justin. He is not a man to be messed with at this point and everyone would be wise to NOT piss him off. His head has got to spinning now. One minute he's sitting in the diner with the gossip queens, the next he's putting 2+2 together and realizes his boyfriend was raped. You can tell he was running on pure adreneline with one goal in mind, which was seeing Justin. Had to feel like an electrical shock to his system. And I know that this is just the beginning. He won't be happy at all that Michael knew and didn't say anything to him. Now Michael did plan to tell him that night (when he asked Brian to come by), so maybe Brian won't kill him for that. He'll also wonder why Justin could tell Michael and not him. Although Justin's confession was not done out of a trust in Michael, he was in full on panic mode and blurted it out. I hope Brian will realize that Justin would never trust Michael over him. I knew this would be great and you didn't disappoint!!
Author's Response: It's definitely wise to stay out of Brian's way when he gets like that. When Brian has a goal in mind, nothing is going to stop him from reaching it. And in this case, nothing in the world would have stopped him from reaching Justin. Yeah Mikey's argument that he was *going* to tell Brian isn't going to help much. Brian will still likely be pretty pissed that Michael didn't tell him the second he found out. He'll also probably be a little hurt, though he won't admit it of course, that Justin apparently "trusts" Michael over him. The whole involving-Michael thing just makes things that much more complicated for all three of them. I'm so glad you liked the chapter and weren't disappointed. Thanks for reviewing :)

This was amazing. A very realistic portrayal of how I think Brian would have reacted. I must admit to being worried as to why Brian hadn't figured out something sooner, but if he had never been in that position then he wouldn't have know what to look for. I'm glad he knows now so hopefully he can help Justin through this. I was very suprised at the twist of Brian finding out through Ted and Emmett, I wasn't expecting that. Can't wait for the next chapter.
Author's Response: That was pretty much it...Brian had no idea what was going on, and out of everything that could be happening, he wasn't really narrowing it down specifically to the party + weird behavior = rape. Especially when Justin has had panic attacks/nightmares/etc. before. Finding out through Ted and Em wasn't really the best way for it to happen, and it's going to make things even worse and more complicated. But I had that idea in my head since the beginning, and I wanted to keep it in. Thanks for reviewing, josieb :)

Very powerful. Poor Brian, definitely not the best way to find out. I'm surprised Ted and Emmett didn't connect the fact that Justin was also a dancer at Babylon and make a comment. I'm really glad it's out in the open and hopefully Brian will make Justin see sense and get some help. I'm guessing there's going to be some fallout when Brian finds out that Michael already knew and didn't tell him? I imagine Brian will also find it quite hurtful that Justin could tell Michael but not him - Daphne is understandable, but not Michael! Keep up the good work, I look forward to reading what happens next.
Author's Response: Brian's definitely going to be pissed at Michael for not telling him the second he found out, and probably a little hurt that Justin told Michael, but he's much more likely to yell at Michael than Justin right now. This definitely wasn't a good way for him to find out the truth. You're right, Daphne's one thing, but Michael's another matter entirely. There's probably going to be more about the rest of the gang (Ted, Emmett, Deb, etc.) finding out what's going on, too, one way or another. j Thanks for reading and reviewing :)

that was amazingly well written and realistic and heartbreaking.
Author's Response: Thank you so much :D I was extremely nervous about this one, since it's such an important part of the story, so I'm really glad you liked it.
