It takes courage to speak to someone, so Brian is being brave here.

Yay, so happy he was brave enough to ask Justin to move in with him. And hopefully, he'll take Justin's advice and stop comparing himself to how he used to be.

Well, this made me cry, especially the scene with Deb at the end.
I have a friend who became a paraplegic five years ago, and what you have written is so accurate, the grief, the anger, everything.

They're talking so much more now than ever, I am so proud of Brian for admitting all of this to Justin.

Brian needs to do this, for himself, to feel like he's in control again.

Justin is so fucking accepting, I love that about him.

I can't be lieve Brian didn't tell Justin, but I completely understand his reasoning, and it makes sense when you hear his reasoning.
I am looking forward to hearing how they manage life together like this.

Just finished reading this amazing story. While it was initially difficult to witness loss of the perfection that had been The Great God Brian Kinney, and to read of his terrible mental and physical pain after the accident, his courage in not only turning his life around, but eventually even putting himself out there as the face of disability, was moving and inspiring. And of course Justin played no small role in Brian's transformation. Despite the AU circumstances, everyone was true to character. Your writing is really impressive, and I look forward to enjoying more of your oeuvre.

Thank you so much! I admire and enjoy your writing a great deal, so it means a lot to hear this from you! Brian places such importance on his sexuality as well as his physical appearance, that I thought it might be interesting to explore how he would react to such a life-altering circumstance. I'm glad it plays out well and they are still true to character. I can't seem to let this version of Brian go, so there will be much more from him I'm sure, in addition to what's already been written. :) Thanks again! <3

This story was actually hard for me to read. I had to take a break before I could finish it. I felt so much empathy with Brian - not that I’m phyically disabled or anything, but because I’m dealing with my own losses this year - so it was difficult for me to see him get through the struggle to acceptance when I’m not there yet. You did a wonderful job detailing all that emotion. Great writing job. TAG

Love the idea of Brian advertising himself. He can sell anything, right? TAG

I think Brian just needs to take Justinalong with him on his business meetings so every time he starts doubting himself, Sunshine can give him a good ‘talking to’ *wink* TAG

wow!!! what a rollercoaster of emotions. Such a beautiful written story, I couldn't stop reading it, and didn't want it to stop. It seems so realistic (not that I know…) and so fit to Brian character.
I love angst stories like that. Stories that shows the difficulties and hard road to stability, love and happiness, and well written as well. Unfortunately there are not so many of them out there, so those stories like this are pretty rear. thanks for writing it.
Author's Response:
Thank you so much! <3 I'm so glad that it resonated with you. I'm a lover of angst as well, if that wasn't already obvious...ha. I love it when I'm so into a story that I don't want to stop, and I'm honored that mine did that for you. Thank you for reading and taking the time to comment!

Well, Brian and Deb at the end had me in fucking tears <3
It's 1 am, I wanna finish this, but I need to go to bed, you're killing meeeeeeeeeee!
Author's Response:
Me too. I cried when I wrote that part. *sniff* Fanfic over sleep, that's what I always say...heh.

I feel so fucking proud of Brian and how far he's come. How - even with a little pushing, he opened up to Justin.
Your writing is PHENOMENAL!
Author's Response:
Wow, you're a fast reader! :) Thank you! I'm really happy that you're loving the story. It invoked so many emotions in me writing it, and I can see that it's doing the same for you as the reader.

Brian and Ted's friendship has always been a huge love of mine, so reading their little talk made me SO happy. Even though Ted hasn't gone through what Brian had, he's had a lot happen to him and I think he understands why Brian needs and wants to move. I hope Justin is okay with it. Argh, I need to go to bed soon lol
Author's Response:
I love their friendship too, and that's why I wanted to invoke it here. The way their relationship turned out by the end of S5 was great. "Anything...for a friend?" Apologies for keeping you up too late. ;) I know the feeling well! haha

I THOUGHT HE'D WANT TO MOVE - and now we know how much he likes the city!!!!!
This was really heartbreaking reading Michael and Deb's experience after the accident, you wrote Deb PERFECTLY.
I just want to cuddle Brian so much in this. Not because of his accident, but the way he's coping and trying to discover who he is now he isn't the stud!
Author's Response:
Thank you! I knew that watching the series way too many times would come in handy someday! ;) I am loving your reviews. I can't wait to see what you think of the rest.

This story is making me have all the feels. Justin was so right at the end, it's probably him that's judging himself more than anyone else, and he needs to try and let that go. But it won't be easy. I love seeing this softer side of Brian though.
Author's Response:
Aww <3 This was a really fun and interesting version of Brian to write. I don't want to let him go.

I had made sure to stay away from anyone talking about this story because I wanted to be surprised, and boy, I was NOT expecting that. I love this side to Brian though. It's sort of like it's grounded him a little maybe? And the fact that Justin was bashed and can relate somewhat to how he felt afterward must have helped Brian a little.
Author's Response:
It's definitely had a huge effect on him...as you will see later. ;) I am so, so happy you're reading this now! And that you managed to remain unspoiled.

Please tell me you are gonna do a little follow up with them getting married... I figure with them it would be a small thing, but I'd love to see your take on it...
great story!!!!!
Author's Response:
Thank you so much! I've been loving reading your reviews as you went along. I'm seriously considering a sequel, but I want to wait a bit because my life is about to get busier in a couple of weeks, and I know I wouldn't be able to keep up the pace I did with this one, at least not for a while. Thanks again for reading and reviewing. I'm glad you enjoyed the story.

i LOVE the activism angle... a way to empower Brian... fantastic

such a tough road Brian has... I really like how you are weaving in what we knew all along... he was always insecure (ok not about work) and vulnerable, but he always was able to just put on the Stud persona and nobody looked behind the mask... I appreciate him actually seeing that now
Author's Response:
The complexity of Brian’s character is why I love him so much. There is far more beyond the surface than what he wants others to see, and Gale Harold portrayed that so well. There’s a broken little boy under all of that bravado.
