Thank you for this incredible work! :) I'm completely fell in love with it! It is so interesting, tense and exciting! I never can get enough of it :)

Your Brian is so beautiful! I do enjoy his inner power very much. Of course, such a person like he can cause fear - even just subconsciously - but he is a real mystery at the same time. On the one hand, this one needs to be open, but on the other hand, there are such secrets that should always be closed to retain their charm. Maybe, it is one of them :)

As for Justin, he is a very interesting person, too. To tell the truth, I really enjoyed reading about his contradictory feelings :) He fell in love with Brian in such interesting, unusual way! It seems that their relationship are complicated and simple at the same time. Of course, Brian's agression mixed with Justin's unpleasant past can't be called 'simple', but their feeling to each other are so natural and sincere - it is just charming. They don't lie to each other, they don't hide their feelings. They do what they want to do. So they are free - at least in their own eyes. Of course, Brian's problems make everything more difficult, but I believe that as long as they can trust each other and love each other they will be happy :)

The last chapter was really beautiful! Skating was so funny - especially when Brian was angry with Justin because of his laugh :) They was so caring and protective! And I was really sad because of this unpleasant incident. I hoped that this homophobe would understand that it had been enough warnings for him to stop his annoying behaviour - but unfortunately, it hadn't, To tell the truth, I was afraid that Justin just wouldn't want to talk with Brian. So I'm very glad it didn't happen. But without doubt, Brian should deal with this problem - at least for Justin's peace of mind.

Thank you once again for this incredible story! I'm really looking forward to the next chapter!

Such a long beautiful chapter! :) Thank you very much for it!

Poor Justin... I can't even imagine what he must be feeling. It seems to be a terrible nightmare - to meet someone who had poisoned your life for a long time, feel helpless and fear that burn everything on their way. Derek seems to be really dangerous man. He cares about his own desires - not Justin's ones. Such love - if it can be called 'love' - doesn't bring nothing but suffering. 

And I was really sad because Brian didn't notice anything weird in Justin's behaviour. I hoped he would be able to help him - at least morally. Justin really needs support and care for now - maybe, like never before. 

But the second part of it was completely different. I was pleasantly surprised with Brian's mother - it is so unusual to see her like that. But I liked that! Her attitude to Justin can't not to cause some positive emotions. And I just couldn't help but laugh in some moments! Brian's searching under the table was so funny! He is just charming in your story :)

As for Brian's father, honestly, I didn't expect such a reaction from Brian. Obviously, this question still hurts him - even after all these years. Hopefully, Justin will help him to get rid of all these exhausting memories. Of course, he won't be able to forget it completely, but he will happy at least. They really need each other. 

Thank you again! I'm so looking forward to the next chapter!

Thank you very much for this interesting chapter! :) It is so exciting and charming – just beautiful :)

I very wanted to see how Justin had managed to convince Brian. I can imagine how much patience and strength was necessary to do it. I liked your description of each stage of this 'operation'. It was very deep and clever. Justin definitely knows Brian's temper very well. So he can and use these knowledge successfully. And it seems Brian doesn't mind, too :)

Their agreement is a really good thing to do. Milan shopping made me smile a few times – it is so like Brian :) You described him very authentically. And Justin is just amazing :) All these details in their behaviour make your work really bright and alive. I enjoyed it so much!

Thank you once again! Looking forward to the next chapter :)

Thank you very much! This chapter was very warm, so I got a lot of pleasure from it :) 

I'm so glad that Brian and Justin finally enjoy their vacations together – without any complaints and doubts. I suspect it wasn't easy for Brian to admit his mistake and see his own happiness in Justin's one. But he dealt with it – that proves his deepest love to Justin and endlessly pleases me :) Really, I always feel so good when I know that they share their feelings and emotions, make each other stronger. Honestly, I didn't think that Justin would offer Brian to leave. It was very difficult decision – both for Justin's desires and their relationship in general. And I believe the solving they found is the best thing that could be. 

Oh, it seems all Brian and Justin's friends have babies :) I was both surprised and glad to see it. And Justin's love to kids isn't difficult thing to notice. Kauê and Taynah are described very alive. And Rudah on Brian's shoulders is something absolutely charming :) I liked it!

Thank you once again! I'm very looking forward to the next chapter :) 

It was an interesting, touching work! I liked it!

You're completely right – Jennifer did never hate Brian. I always enjoyed to observe their relationships in the canon. And you showed it all very successfully.

I had an impression that I reviewed everything again – only with Jennifer's point of view. Her feelings are very contradictory - and it's not surprising. But it pleases me very much that she always understood Justin's choice - even subconsciously.

And I was so touched reading Jennifer's thoughts about Brian at the end. It is amazing that she managed to see in him a sensitive man who needs love and care. And her pride for both of them... it was so beautiful! 

And a special thank for Brian and Justin's relationship. I very like the way you showed it. I just could feel the warmth of their love when I read.

Thank you so much for sharing!

You know, I just couldn't believe my eyes when I saw this story submission from you! I was dreaming about it so long! It was such an amazing surprise :)

I truly liked your writing style, plot, wonderful description of feelings and incredible dynamics you managed to express so brightly and alive. I just couldn't tear my eyes off this story! That were really unforgettable moments.

Actually, the situation you described in the beginning seems to be ordinary – unfortunately – but not in the Brian and Justin's case. To tell the truth, I felt so sad while seeing Justin's desperation. It was so real, so touching – I had a really hard time trying to convince myself that it must be an explanation for Brian's behavior. He was so cold and rude that I've nearly lost any hope for their happy future together. It was such a huge tension here! I literally could feel how the cliffhanger was coming. Really – it wasn't difficult to understand that Justin wouldn't tolerate this weird – offensive – attitude of Brian any longer. And – I just can't help but admiring Justin because of that. Even if Brian really made this decision - that seems to be impossible at all - Justin wouldn't hate him and – more than that – he would continue loving him. I believe that the only true feelings can be so deep – whether the chosen 'directions' are equal or different. 

And I didn't expect this to be AU at all. It was such a pleasant surprise :)  The way Brian and Justin met, fell in love and built their relationship is amazing. I loved every line of it! Brian's desire to protect Justin from troubles, to keep him safe and this rude manner at the same time... I enjoyed it so much! It was really painful to see that Justin got hurt, but when Brian saved him, when Justin showed him all the devotion and love he felt, I couldn't really decide what to do – cry or laugh! And all these funny moments you described are so beautiful! I can hardly say how much I enjoyed it. 

Brian and Justin's conversation is a really right thing to do. They needed it so much. They both are so in-character here! I liked the way Brian apologized – it was so touching and truthful. And when Justin said that he needed some time alone... Honestly, I didn't have any doubts concerning his decision, but despite that I just couldn't help worrying because of all this tension between them. 

And one more thing I would like to notice. I truly loved Justin's thoughts about Brian – especially the part where you describe Brian like a good boss :) I don't know why it impressed me so much, but I couldn't help re-reading this several times. Really – it's such a pleasure to see that Justin knows Brian so well. 

The epilogue made me completely happy – although I wouldn't mind reading this story endlessly :) It is such a relief to see them together, knowing that they've finally found the right way to go. 

Thank you once again for this work of art! I'm going to re-read it a few more times, though I doubt then I'll ever get enough of it - anyway :) 

Hi! Thank you so much for your beautiful story! I like it very much.

You Brian and Justin are wonderful, I fell in love with them right away. Brian’s pregnancy… it was intense and touching at the same time. I loved every detail, verything was so well-written and interesting. I couldn’t keep my eyes off it even for a moment!

Justin’s e-mails are amazing! I can’t remember ever reading something like that. It was really hilarious and enjoyable – especially Brian’s reaction to it :)

And I also loved Keith and Leo. It’s good that they’re so supportive of Brian and Justin.

Patrick is charming! Brian’s love to him is something that’s just impossible to resist. Actually, I understood it’d be that way from that very moment when Brian slapped Justin’s hand off his belly fearing for his Peanut/Munchking’s safety. It was really funny, by the way – I was laughing so hard! :)

As for the second pregnancy, it’s really difficult. I can’t even imagine what Justin must have been feeling during the first one. I completely understand his concerns. It might be really dangerous for Brian.

I’m very glad you’re going to keep on writing :) Looking forward to the next chapter!

By the way, I liked you other works as well. You’re very talented.

Great chapter! Loved it! 

Evan seems like a good teacher. Kids who keep forgetting their stuff can be really exhausting yet funny at the same time. 

I liked scene with Patrick’s picture. Hopefully, his passion for painting remains in the future. Really, why shouldn't he inherit that trait of Justin’s? :)

Emmett's complains about Ted and Black’s ‘assault’ are hilarious. I definitely love him here! 

And that ‘teddy bear’ moment is probably my favorite (though it’s really difficult to choose one). Debbie’s remark made me smile – a mixture between Brian and Justin is definitely not something you can deal easy with :) 

Thank you for writing such a beautiful story! 

Oh, so Keith is going to have twins! It’s a good thing that Brian isn’t the one to receive such news. Justin would be having a panic attack. 

I was a little surprised that Brian actually agreed to check on Black. It seems like their friendship with Ted is really important to him – he definitely wouldn’t do such thing if it wasn't. I like their interaction in the show, and I enjoy it here as well.

Poor Patrick… I can imagine what he must have been thinking. I hope Brian and Justin will make it up to him, so he won’t be feeling insecure when the baby is born. 

The conversation about Kiki was hilarious :) 

Thank you for this update! Can’t wait for the next one!

Hi, Frances! Thank you so much for such a captivating work! 

Actually, I love such stories very much, so I had big hopes for this one while starting reading. And it has definitely intrigued me. 

The plot is interesting and unusual. The characters are well-written and alive. I’ve already fallen in love in Justin. He is so strong and brave, he tries to fight for himself (even despite of knowing where his rebellious attitude might lead him). It was really painful to see him like this – helpless, desperate, humiliated. 

Brian is amazing as well. He’s already so protective of Justin. It’s always a pleasure to see how much he cares – I’m sure this feeling will only become stronger in the future. 

The auction was breathtaking. I couldn’t take my eyes off it! Such powerful tension… And it was so touching when Justin feared to find out who had bought him eventually. Of course, he doesn’t trust Brian now yet, but I’m sure that he was somehow relieved that it wasn’t someone else (even on an intuitive level). 

I understand Michael’s concerns – this entire thing is not going to be easy for them. However, I wonder how he’ll behave towards Justin in the future. 

Thank you once again! Can’t wait for the update!

I love this story! It's very interesting, intense, well thought out and incredibly in-canon. I like Brian and Emmett's interaction. It was pretty obvious that there was something special about their relationship - something we just didn't get to see in the show. I always wanted to learn how their friendship developed, and now - thanks to you - I have this oppotrunity. I believe every word of it - your descriptions are very talented and captivating. 

This chapter was so touching! Honestly, I expected Brian to do something about Emmett's problem from that very scene when he tried to console him (in his own unique way). And when Emmett didn't take the money Brian offered him, I felt that Brian would eventually solve this problem no matter what it took. You managed to show his interest in it, his desire to help, and it looked amazingly natural - as if it was the way it should be.

Thank your for this wonderful piece! Can't wait for more!

By the way, I love your other stories as well :)

Oh, that was interesting!

I'm glad that Justin arrived. Brian is so cold now, yet it's obvious that he's tense and nervous at the same time. Undoubtedly, Justin will need all the strength he can get, this isn't going to be easy for him. I wonder how everything turns out. 

Michael's story gets more and more intriguing. The meeting with ducks was hilarious! It's really original and unusual. I didn't expect that the ducks would actually believe him and even try to help. He's lucky to have them by his side - however crazy it might sound :)

Wow, Debbie is intuitive. I suspected that she might be the one to recognise her son, but definitely not so fast. She really impressed me!

Thank you for the update! Looking forward to the next one!

I like the beginning! Your style is beautiful. The plot is very captivating, though it's not easy to see Brian and Justin suffering. I feel for both of them. Justin is trying to deal with his feelings for Brian, but to no avail - fortunately (I just can't imagine him actually succeeding at that task). I was touched by his emotions every time he thought about having to break up with Brian. If only Brian wasn't so stubborn...

I understand Justin's motives and desires. He is a strong person who is willing to fight for himself - and it's admirable. However, I can't help but being glad that he didn't walk away like that in the show - it would be heartbreaking. The current situation itself is really dangerous for them. I just hope that everything works out well. 

Thank you for sharing! Can't wait for the next chapter!  

Oh, that was really sad :( I just could feel this desperation and loneliness. It's almost physically painful to read something like that. 

I admire Justin for not being in denial about his true feelings. He's right - he won't be able to get over Brian completely. There will always be a part of him that's still in love, no matter what.  

Thank you for this short yet powerfull piece! Can't wait for more!

Oh, this chapter was really beautiful!

It was very clever of Justin to behave this way with Brian. I thought that it would take less time for Brian to realize that something is off - Justin did a very good job.

I was touched by Brian's willingness to help Justin, no matter what. His love is so obvious! 

The ending was painful. But it's logical, of course - Brian couldn't react in any other way. I just hope Justin doesn't back down, because such feelings are really worth to fight for. 

Thank you!

The ending was great! I wish there would be more, though - I will miss the updates.

The scene you described is one of my favorites in the show. This ride was such a big challenge for Brian. The moment with Justin was spectacular - I liked how you showed his worry, desire to comfort Brian, and finally desperate hope for their future together. I'm so glad everything turned out well! They deserve to be happy.

Thank you for this charming work!

I loved this story! The episode you chose is one of the most interesting in the show. It's always fun to read different interpretations. 

The conversation between Brian and Justin was very well written - I couldn't get enough and wanted it to go on endlessly :) Actually, I'm just crazy about protective Brian - it's always so touching and appealing. And this particular moment is a good opportunity for his instincts to kick in. 

And I agree with you - Justin has probably topped before. I should admit, that scene felt a little unusual for me the first time I saw it. I didn't expect Brian to have this degree of trust. It was a powerful - beautiful - evidence of his true feelings. 

Oh, I just loved this story! It was hilarious and intense at the same time. I liked the beginning - it was intriguing and sweet. The idea of Brian and Justin being stuck in the elevator was pretty appealing to me but I didn't think there would be something unusual... and here you managed to really surprise me! It was so funny when Brian was worrying about Justin's 'suspicious' duffel bag! Or when Justin attacked him with this water pistol. Or when Brian suggested that Justin drew a picture of a gun to scare people. I liked every line and just couldn't get enough!

it was an amazing, captivating story. Thank you so much for sharing!
