Great chapter where Justin shows his true self: dedicated, uncompromising and loyal. As well as horny and loving...
Very interesting stories about Fanta and MBZ.

I just KNEW that left-behind coat was gonna be trouble! Can Not Wait! to hear more about Lucky's dilemma!
Side note - Was actually getting ready to watch 'Imitation Game' again. This movie about Alan Turing is phenomenal (and Benedict Cumberbatch as a bonus!). For those who don't know Turing's astounding and heartbreaking story (though it's obvious our distinguished authors are WELL aware of this piece of LGBTQ WWII history), please please correct that lack quickly! He pretty much single-handedly saved the freaking world and was chemically castrated for homosexuality as repayment. Took his own life at the devastatingly young age of 42. I'm so thrilled that this little tid-bit is here - and I'm glad Brian is having a bit of a historic come-to-Jesus moment as to the strength and breadth of the shoulders upon which his freedom as a gay man was so heroically borne.
Author's Response:
Can we just say ‘Ditto’ to everything you wrote here? Yes, we both have seen ‘The Imitaion Game’ in doing our research for this story, and it’s a wonderful movie. The idea that gay men were chemically castrated in the past has haunted me (TAG) ever since, and our attempts to show this fact - and how it would impact a modern gay man - is one of the driving motivations behind our writing. Glad you caught that reference! TAG & Sally

I hope that Lucky gets lucky and comes out soon. Brian's lucky they didn't connect the coat to him. Darn it's hard to read about how bad things were back then and wanting to know if Justin leaves that time to be with Brian.
