Beautiful chapter! The emotion is all over the page! Great to read that they have reconnected and that Justin knows what partner Brian sees in him.
Also, great touch getting Daphne all the credit she deserves.

Another wonderful chapter I could feel the love between them as they were making lov- great writing. I enjoyed reading about Justin and Brian's history and the thought process regarding Ethan. Hope your RL is going well and you have more time to update soon. Just love this story. I love that they are seeing through Michael's machinations and are ready to ignore him for time with each other.

Oh Wow, what a wonderful powerful chapter and let's not leave out HOT!!! So happy this was just the two of them and no one trying to break them apart. I have loved this story from the beginning and I have to say I love it even more after this chapter. Fantastic writing. Can't wait to see what you have in mind for all of them Please don't make us wait too long. LOL

So HAPPY to know that you are still enjoying this story, Marilynne. It's intense in a way that I have to handle in increments, otherwise I would never get anything else done...LOL I really do love delving into the psyches and motivations of my characters in this way. It's a rare gift for a writer to have this kind of look into their characters (strangely, that even includes my least favorite one of the bunch LOL), so I feel very fortunate to be able to bring this to you all.
HAPPY READING and HUGS,
~Nichelle

Brian and Justin are finding a way to reconnect just need to continue to write the letters and talk to banish the fear that still lingers.
Justin had to go through the drama of Ethan to truly understand what loving someone means and what it means to be loved in return for your imperfections.
Ethan like Michael is expecting someone to take care of and praise him while they are just the maid and arm candy to show off.
Neither one understands love because they don't really want it they just want the spotlight on them 24/7 and they will destroy anyone or anything that takes the attention away from them and that insatiable greed and narrow-mindedness will always b there downfall. (Hello Deb That Means You Too!!)
Perhaps Justin is afraid to tell Brian he is ready to do it raw too?
Maybe he is ready to have kids but is afraid of Brian's reaction especially after losing Gus?
So many things Brian and Justin are still afraid to say out loud but they will get there and soon the space between will be filled with love, laughter and total trust.
Thanks For the Update 😃

I can't wait to read the next chapters. But in the meantime I'm going to reread this from the top.

I have to say the last thing I expected to see a little after 3 a.m. when I was thinking of heading to bed, was an update on this story. I was happy it was a longer chapter, too. So, thank you for this.
You brought up something I always wondered about during the Ethan arc. How did Ethan survive? I really can't see a person able to make enough money playing on a street corner to pay for housing and food. The bus to and from school, etc... Did he have a full scholarship? How did he pay for PIFA? (I know... none of this matters) ... Just Curious. Maybe we weren't suppose to disect the show that much. All that said...
I think you explained the whole Ethan arc perfectly. It sure fit with where Justin's character was at at that point and time. But it did prove to be a time of growth for Justin. Helped to take the rose-colored glasses off.
When Brian questioned Justin towards the end about what he was afraid of, I have no idea where you plan to take that... but I could hear clear as day, Justin saying... This... Losing This.

LOL! SURPRISE!!!! This story has seriously had me in its grip these last few days. It hasn't let me go as of yet, but I have to get back to JT2U, which is having quite the tug-of-war tantrum inside my mind right now.
I'm so HAPPY that you are so invested in my work. This was always an arc that, to me, needed to be analyzed completely to be understood. It almost seemed so out of left field, even though there were warning signs along the way that they were about to implode. There's more that happened during that era which needs to be addressed, but Brian really needed to be able to see what it was he missed about Ethan's advent. It wasn't even that he was intentionally unvigilant regarding Justin's needs; just trying to juggle life as it was then without losing his sanity in the process. It's sort of the kind of situation I'm in right now regarding my oldest son, so even though it's in a different context, I know exactly how he's feeling during these moments of analysis, clarity and forced introspection.
It's wonderful to know that you continue to remain enthralled with this particularly engrossing work!
HUGS and LOVE,
~Nichelle
