DEAR MR. K. by Moonshadow Woman Rated: NC-18 [Reviews - 54]
Summary: Feature

***Featured Story for April  2015***

One of my favorites, but not very Ethan friendly. Justin is lonely, and needs someone to talk to, so he picks a name out of the phone book. Of course, the name he chooses is Brian's. He begins sending letters to "Mr. K," telling him about his life. Brian has no idea who is sending him the letters (maybe it's a crazy person!), but finds himself anticipating receiving the next one.

Your amazing stories have given me joy and hope during a very difficult time of my life.  Thank you so very much!

 

My mom’s death was very hard then I was struck by a car on June 4th of 2008 which led to multiple surgeries but resulting in my not being able to return to work.  Then August of 2009 I end up having chest pains and had 2 stents put in. Now I am looking at by-pass surgery.

 

I discovered Queer as Folk that summer of 2008 and have read QAF fanfiction while mostly bed-bound.  I just discovered your amazing BDSM based and other stories.  They have given me smiles, out loud laughter, tears and hope.  I hope you continue to share the beauty of your QAF worlds with those of us who love it so!

 

Thank you for helping me escape and survive with your writing filled with love!

Author's Response:

I am glad you have enjoyed my stories and it is nice to hear that reading them has provided you with some respite during difficult times. Thank you for your words and I hope your situation improves.

Hugs!

 
Summary:

 

I always thought how sad it was that Justin couldn't remember dancing with Brian at the prom. When Brian tries to re-waken Justin's memories and recreate it for him, in order for him to face the bashing and move on and Justin says, “You kissed me? In front of everybody?” and Brian replies, “Yeah … you should have been there,” with so much pain, my heart breaks every time I watch it. So here, Justin gets to see how they danced together.

I always thought the birthday they threw for Brian in canon was neither fun nor festive in any streach of the imagination.

Hobbs needed to be stopped, and this way Brian was free of the guilt he carried in canon.

Thank you so much for the review, Val - what a mood lifter!:)  I'm so glad you liked it - Fin and Tony have become two of my favorite characters, also.:)  I am definitely planning on starting the sequel soon - I just have to wrap up "She's Your Daughter" and "I Don't," both of which I see having one more chapter of each.  As soon as I get those done in the next week, I will be starting on the sequel, which will detail Fin's run for Governor, his deepening relationship with Tony and his ever-changing relationship with his son.  And don't forget, I still have a honeymoon to plan for the boys - ha!  I'm so glad you liked this one - it means a great deal to me.  And thanks for taking the time to leave a review for me - that means more to me than you know.:)

I just found this story and am reading it straight thru. I had to tell you how powerful this chapter is! Thank you for sharing your Gus with us!

Thank you for reading and reviewing this story!!!

Yah, that chapter was draining to write. I have become so close to the character of Gus that it is vary difficult to imagine him hurt in any way.

Please keep reading and reviewing, I would love to know what you think as the story moves forward, thank you!!!!!

Reading this has been a bit more painful than usual, being from the Boston MA area and a day out from the bombing. Thankfully all my family is ok and so are my friends who were running.

Loving the story and this chapter pulled me in all directions emotionally. Please let Brian and Justin be ok! Val

Author's Response:

Oh man, I'm glad to hear all is well for those you know and love - such a tragic and terrible event. 

Thank you for reading and commenting, even though it was painful. I promise it won't be completely angst-ridden and depressing every chapter!

Hugs

Thank goodness Justin used "please". If only Justin makes a stand for staying regardless of Brian's need to be so stubborn and alone.
Enjoying this! Val

Author's Response:

Thank you so much for the comment! I'm happy to hear you are enjoying the tale :)

Love it! Please do write a sequel or 2! Please be sure that Mel respects Brian's monog... and doesn't lash out beyond his saying hello to her little friend!! Can't wait. Val

Author's Response: I hope you enjoy the sequel Val as I will try and make it light-hearted fun with a little Lindsay angst. Just a little; maybe. LOL Brian enjoying the company of Mel’s little friend; you crack me up. Thank you for taking the time to review and the laugh. Cheers

 
Rage Revealed by 4depthoflove Rated: GENERAL [Reviews - 26]
Summary:

SUMMER FAN FICTION CHALLENGE 

The first episode of season 3 was unbelievably off the mark for me - and for so many reasons.

First, Justin made the biggest mistake of his life by choosing Ethan over Brian, showing just how far he had strayed from the ability he once had to read the man who had thrown away his rule book, and was scrambling to write a new one as he went along.

Worse still, in my book however, is that while Brian had plenty to answer for to Justin regarding his behavior, it was his family that once again blamed Brian for all the wrongs in the world, never once considering the fact that hitting Michael was so far out of character for Brian that something really huge must have triggered it.

Once again the golden child could do no wrong, only Brian knowing how far out of line his so-called best friend's comments about Justin had been, and everyone quickly rallied around Michael with love and support, while directing nothing but anger and disgust at the one man who had always been there to pick up all the pieces in their lives.

Ok...so now that I got that off my chest...
