Well, I'm trying to get this finished. I'm thoroughly enjoying it. I was a little sad I hadn't caught up before you finished it. Anyway, thank you for the Chapter End Note: I almost thought one of you had a past life as a lock picker! (kidding!)
And my-oh-my... I'm with Justin... that device looked VERY painful.

Thanks for the story. It made wonderful reading and I will miss it.
Near where I work, there is a triangle building. Now when I pass it, I do and probably always will think of Eggy and Justin living on the top floor.
Thanks again for the story,

Thank you so much. This is quite the compliment. I hope you'll wave to that Triangle Building for me next time you drive by. Thanks for reading and taking the time to leave a comment. TAG

I loved the ending. Going ti miss this though.
The Triangle building bringing lovers together no matter what year it may be.
Justin has a lot of plans for the building. Not sure how Brian will feel about that. Although, considering the huge step of Brian going to meet everyone at diner, thankfully Deb controlled herself, who knows how the future will go. Brian's funny. Not wanting to put up with a wet spot on the sheet and trying to take it off the bed while Justin was still in it. Ha! Like that would work.

The ends of stories are always hard for me too. I live with these characters for the duration of writing a story and it's always hard to say goodbye. At least we know they got their HEA, right? Thanks for reading. TAG

Great ending to a really great story as usual from you guys.
Don't wish to sound stoopid but what does NaNoWriMo actually mean?
Look forward to whatever is next!

Author's Response:
It's not a stupid question at all. NaNoWriMo stands for National Novel Writer's Month - it's an International Writing Challenge that happens every November where people are challenged to write a 50k word novel in one month. I've done it 6-7 times, not always meeting the challenge, but it's always fun and a great way to push yourself. This year, we did hit the 50k word mark in November but since the story wasn't done, we just kept going. Glad you liked the outcome. Thanks for reading. TAG

Fantastic ending. I'd like to hear more about the bed and breakfast part in another story. Sounds interesting.
Author's Response:
I based the bed and breakfast hotel idea on this place here in Portland: https://www.mcmenamins.com/edgefield. Edgefield is the old County Work House that two enterprising young brothers bought for pennies on the dollar and then fixed up. It's a wonderful place now. I've stayed there a couple times and had dinner in their restaurant many many time. I thought it would be right up Justin's alley. Maybe someday I'll write the sequel where Justin runs the hotel...

Wonderful!
I am thilled with the happy ending and the "gang" all together the way it should be!
But of course, as happens with the end of every great story, the Fic withdrawals have begun. Especially since I don't have another one waiting on the back-burner. So you'll just have to come up with something for me to read this summer! (I'm channelling bratty Justin, LOL)
Great job, ladies!
Author's Response:
I HATE fic withdrawal! And if you think it's bad as a reader, just imagine how we writers feel. I live, eat, sleep with these characters for months and then . . . I miss them already. Oh well, guess I'll just have to write a new story with them in it! LOL. Thanks for reading. TAG

I was getting so nervous when Craig was attacking Justin, that I forgot that Justin had been Face-timing with Eggy. I didn't know how Brian was going to be able to save him!
Now, for a completely random thought... Just the other day, my local radio station had been talking about some viral Twitter or Facebook thread. People were arguing about whether or not you wash your legs when you're in the shower. One side said, "absolutely, you wash your whole body." The other side said, "don't be silly, your legs get clean as the soap runs down from the top of your body." Both sides were adament that their way was correct.
Now, personally... I am team "whole body" including feet. I had never even considered the other option! But, I'm surprised our OCD Egbert seems to be on the other side of the argument! I mean, otherwise he would have noticed the cuts on Justin's ankles...
OK, random thought over, LOL!

Absolutely perfect ending to a wonderful story. I love happy endings and this one was one of the best. You know I feel your writing is amazing, fantastic, wonderful, incredible, etc. but even you two out do yourselves at times. It definitely should be published. I truly will miss them, but as with Time Blitz, the memories will always remain. Thank you.
Author's Response:
Thank you so much. It was fun to research and go to Pittsburgh before writing this one. As for publishing, we're looking into that... Thanks for reading and all the wonderful comments. TAG

Now you just have to find a way to take Craig for all he's worth. That will teach him.

Excellent chapter. Really enjoyed Craig's rant and Justin standing up to him. And Brian to the rescue!

With all the shit Craig did, I loved this chapter. What a bigger ass Craig made of himself. We know Justin made the right choice to never go home again.
And Ethan, that fucking weasel. Thought Justin would want him after the shit storm he caused. What a delusional idiot.
Wow, Brian braved the tunnels. Must have heard Craig after he kicked the door in and rushed to the rescue of one brat in need. Not only that but to touch him while he was bleeding. Just wow. What a combo, Justin and those happy pills.
Yep, Just an endangered outweighs OCD and agoraphobia every time! TAG

Gotta love Justin's tenaciousness! But, damn... Craig's got lousy timing! (Although I chuckled picturing that door slamming him in the face, LOL!)
Author's Response:
Both Sally and I have said repeatedly that we simply love this Justin. We love his brattiness. We love his tenacity. We love the way his thoughts just ramble all over the place. He’s been a delight to write in this story. TAG

He just couldn't let go. Tenacious little bulldog.. Such interesting facts.
Why in the hell was Craig even looking for him? How embarrassed Craig will be when he finds that Justin had come with Ethan.
Damn those cliffhangers. Run through the tunnels Justin. Pray they collaspe on your father. Ha!
Justin seems to have a good group of friends. Teasing all in fun.

Wow. I read these for the Brain and Justin love story ,but these little bits of history are just so fascinating.
Author's Response:
Thank you. I, personally, love the research side to my stories and throwing in those historical references - especially in this story, since it relates back to a specific period of time - is part of the fun. But, yeah, the B&J stuff is still the main point. Thanks for commenting and reaffirming that my history lessons are not in vain. TAG
