Funny how Mel and Brian get along when Lindsay isn't around.

Gus is too cute. That vacation jar is going to fill up pretty quickly. With Brian, Mel, even Deb visiting.

Brian,no "emotional entanglements"? Really? Does Justin sound familiar? Forty-eight hour reunion?

Author's Response:

Thank you for taking the time to comment on Contortions, Sherry! <3 It's much appreciated.

That vacation jar is going to spill over soon, it'll be so full :D

Justin is the exception to Brian avoiding emotional entaglements... Like Debbie said back in 2.06, Justin made it under the wire. (It happened earlier than 2.06, of course.)

This chapter was most interesting.  You got Mikey down pat.  Somehow I think Bent will end up a Rage character if Justin has anything to say about it.

Author's Response:

Thanks for leaving a comment, Phyllis :) I suspect you're right about Bent and a certain blond's superpowers.

Hot and hilarious! I would never have thought someone would dare having a SBD in a story. And to have Brian experience it was the cherry on the top, no pun intended.

Justin really is an accomplish and attentive lover, even when completely stoned.

Author's Response:

:D :D I'm thrilled that I made you laugh. Flatulence happens, right? :D I couldn't resist, and it just had to be Brian with the 'problem.'

Justin has skills that only Brian fully knows about :) Brian's one lucky guy.

Thanks for commenting, Claire. It's much appreciated.

Absolutely loved this story. Highly entertaining and literally laugh out loud funny. So good!

Author's Response:

Thank you for the lovely comments :) I'm thrilled that I could make you laugh. I don't think I could write a story without at least a touch of humor (although I do have one plot bunny that may never get written because it would be way darker than my norm).

Fantastic story.  Love the banner.  Thank you for the only Halloween story posted today.  WONDERFUL writing.  Hope you had a nice Halloween.

Author's Response:

Thank you for all the lovely comments, Marilynne :) Gladly accepted.

It's rare that I manage a story for a particular holiday; I'm glad I could carry it off this time. I have a sequel started that was intended for Thanksgiving, but I just couldn't manage it this year. Next year, though! Stay tuned.

I just have to say if anyone comes back with yucky things about that video, I'm going to hide my head in the snow.

Well, you had me in stitches a few different places. But if those were the Halloween decorations you invisioned for the diner, I feel sorry for poor Violet. Please don't scare the kitty!

Me thinks - the more Brian growls "Hand's off, Honeycutt," the more Emmett's going to egg him on, and get more touchy-feely And what's this with you and orange? I'd almost think that was your least favorite color.

Ted and Blake having sex while doing a handstand. (hmm, gotta wonder if Brian will see if that really works.) But when Mel challenged: "I'll believe it when I see it," ...  I would have loved for Ted to say: "Sure Mel, come over anytime and watch us have sex. What day works best for you?" Ah, poor Lindsay would have jeered and stormed out. But I was confused on that part where Lindsay stared in seeming fascination at the Formica table top. Because Michael had just commented it wouldn't be enough to get him to do the guy... Hmm... Whatever...

I never get tired of Michael's denseness and clueness. It's SO fitting. But I would have thought he'd jump at featuring a character such as a contorionist - it would kind of be like the Elongated Man in Flash. And if it's good enough for FLASH, Mikey should have ran with it.

But I think the best part of this was when Mikey realized even BEN had a go at Gumby. Contortion Boy was wrapped around you like a limpet, his ankles around that thick neck of yours. LMAO! But the ‘Holy Spider! sex'? Thanks for the visual. It made me almost throw up! Mikey is someone I don't compute with hot sex. Sure the professor is hot, but gosh darn, Mikey is LACKING!!!!

Whipping Wexler. Oh yes, Brian, Ted is VERY well acquainted with Dale - and his whip!

Very good second chapter. And looking forward to the finale.

Author's Response:

Good news. You didn't have to give yourself brain freeze by hiding your head in the snow :D :D

I'm glad I could put you in stitches more than once. Those hissing black kitties were getting their revenge on the horrible humans who even thought of mistreating them (or any of their less beautiful cousins).

A bright orange should look good on Brian, especially if he still has a bit of a summer tan. He's just gotten into the habit of associating the color with Emmett. He acknowledges (only to himself) that the other man has style, but he doesn't think he can carry off the same hues and styles. He should remember they're both tall :D :D

You may be on to something with your thoughts about why Linds was staring at the Formica table top. I won't say any more than that, or you'll need brain bleach. (I'm feeling kind, lolol, especially since I hit you with another brain bleach moment in this chapter.)

By now, you'll have seen how Michael's thoughts about Bent will change... and know how that comes about.

Thanks for your detailed comments, Cathy :) You know how much I appreciate it.

Hugs back atcha,

Wonderful chapter.  Fantastic writing.  I recognize the Pittsburgese as we call it here where I live about 30 miles from the Pitts.  In addition to Yinz we have Younz, but one of my all time favorites is "jeet" which translated means "did you eat" and the Pgh. answer is no "ju" which is "no did you".  Just a little trivia for you.  Love the story.  Happy Halloween to you.

Author's Response:

Uh-oh. You've told me you live near Pittsburgh. That means I can hit you up for advice in the future :D

Thank you for sharing some of your favorite Yinzer-speak :) You can bet those'll show up in my stories :)

Your comments are much appreciated, as always. Happy Halloween - just a tad belated - to you.

This was SO GOOD and SO FUNNY. And I am totally waiting for the show at Babylon *Smirk* *wink*

You know, for never having a kid, you sure did the child talk good. BUT... I couldn't help notice how Gus had NO PROBLEM pronouncing money. The Five, Ten, Fifteen dollars all came out crystal clear! See, Gus knows what's important. Although, I really wish the 'bad-ass' would have been clarified. I could just imagine the running around the neighborhood "I'm a badass" while Brian stood aside laughing his ass off!

And what the hell did Mel have a lacy red bra in her purse for? I admit, when I was working at the hotel, I carried a new pair of pantyhose in my purse, but I can't quite figure out why a bra... whatever.

He laughed again at the elaborate cut-out of a witch on a broom. Mel must've modeled for that one. I laughed so hard. I was very happy I hadn't just taken a sip of my diet pepsi.

And it sounds like Lindsay is being a snobby wasp. Christ, Justin waited tables for years. And Lindsay is turning down teaching jobs! Teaching jobs that could make the household run smoother and better! Bitch! At least Brian realized it.

Christ that J.R.! All that screeching! She's a bit of a late bloomer.

Yessiree - She's definitely her father's daughter!

Can't wait for the rest!

HUGS  ~Cathy

Author's Response:

I'm thrilled you enjoyed the first chapter, Cathy. :) After all, if you hadn't shared that BGT video, I wouldn't have been inspired to write this tale. :)

I'll fess up. I had Gus sounding a little too young, but my wonderful beta pointed that out so I could fix it. Gus is a chip off the old block, right? :D He's an adman in the making.

Mel refuses to reveal why she had a red bra in her purse. :P

Yay, I made you LOL with the witchy comment. And with JR being a late bloomer. :D :D

Keep the plot lines coming. You never know what will inspire me next. First there was the table and this time the contortionist...

Hugs back atcha,

I more than enjoyed this tale! It's witty, snarky, a little emotional and we learn something very important to our hearts regarding Justin.

The 48h fuck-fest and the consequences on Brian's behaviour during meetings had me laughing.

Brian and the T-shirt is also hilarious and so is the swear jar.

The "Jushun" gets me every time.

And then, Brian with his son: so well written!

Author's Response:

I'm thrilled you enjoyed this first chapter so much, Claire! Thanks for the wonderful comments. :) Thanks also for letting me know the bits you especially liked.

Yeah, that "Jushun" gets me too. That's going to be Justin's name in every story of mine that features a young Gus.

I had loads of fun writing Brian, Gus, and Mel together. JR, too, although she didn't utter a single word, poor teething tyke.
