So, call me surprised! The last review you had on this story was one from me. Funny, I can't recall ever doing that... (Old brain or Covid brain?) The latter is the worst!

PART 3

I really hope the girls have had enough of Michael. Especially after hearing about him killing off Ben and Justin's characters. BTW ~ how and when is Ben going learn about this?

What a load of BS that came out of Michael's mouth when talking to Mel. Oh, I forgot it was Gus' birthday. Why, otherwise, did he just happen to show up? That dig about Brian not being a good father, and Melanie not contradicting him, really steamed me. IF she loves Justin, as she says, then she should do something, because it would make Justin happy.

Setting up an account for Lindsay surprises me. Maybe I'm not seeing something.

I forgot that Justin gets his prom memories back. I recently shared my liking of that type of story. Thank you for that. I need to jot this one down on my draft sheet.

This chapter is SOOOOOO frickin long, I might have to pause a few times during it.

At the beginning, in Justin's journal, he was saying something about how Michael wouldn't have a reason to contact him... Why the hell doesn't he BLOCK Michael's number? Brian should, too. And as far as that goes, why doesn't he and Brian just tell Michael they're together? They don't need to pussyfoot around. The guy is already hounding them and talking shit about them. How can it get any worse? Sorry... I just hate that man so much. Maybe it would serve Michael right that instead of just wondering if they're together, let him have to imagine all the things he KNOWS that they're actually doing? I mean, if Mikey asked Brian if he's seen Boy Wonder, wouldn't it be fun for Brian to say, I spent all week with him. My dick is so sore from the 50 times I f**ked him. RIGHT? :D

Oooh, I didn't remember this. Anyway...

How people liked the Sappersteiners can live with themselves is beyond me. I'm actually surprised that Daphne let them go with a warning. A warning is like a threat. When they're out and about, they can still strike. She probably should have had the police come and wait until Gary got there. Justin, knowing they're out, no wonder he's having attacks.

I'm impressed by Brian. He knew what Justin needed without Justin saying anything about why. He was so tender and loving. It made me happy how in tune they are with each other.

Any time you have "Sap" in a story or nephew in thins - I know they aren't fine, upstanding citizens. I get a fear-shiver up my spine.

I would have loved to have a little more in canon about the whole Adam Lyons debacle. But of course, they couldn't dream up a storyline quite like this.

God, where do Mikey's entitlement issues come from? (Forget it, bad question.)

Hugs, Cathy

Do you have a roof to go on when you need to be alone? Even at my age, that sounds heavenly some days. But it'd be hell trying to get up there. ;)

I'm glad Brian finally took the majority vote for him going to NY. He should know by now to never listen to that whiny voice. He's too full of evil.

Glad Justin caved and kissed him. Man, a year just seems way too long for those two.

Hugs, Cathy

BTW ~ It's been so many years, I figured I had to reread it. My old, tired Covid brain forgets lots. 

had to read it again.  Love it

so many issues to deal iwth. Craig and Stockwell are so dangerous, but I wonder who Cynthia called  hope the Calvary will be there to watch over our guys.  Interesting to see what Gus and Lindsay will think about Justin coming back.

Great scene-  the passion and lust and love all come through.  Brian talks well with his body and Justin knows how to listen.  Now they have to talk when they are not joined in sex.

Decided to reread this wonderful story-  Almost a comedy of errors-  Justin in Pittsburgh and Brian in New York-  then of course they bump into each other in the airport.

Good thing I know you love our boys, because you are doing your damnedest to make us believe otherwise.

HUGS ~Cathy

I can only imagine who John's boss is... hopefully he picks someone... Cynthia and thereby, Colby... to relay everything... at least what he knows.

Yay for Ben kicking Michael out! I'm proud of him. It should have happened long ago. I'm still wondering if Ben knows about the comic.

So it seems Debbie had to see through her rose-colored glasses, but for how long? They get back to Pittsburgh and Michael's wheedling and whining will have her caving, I'm sure. If that happens, she can kiss Carl goodbye.

It seems Michael thinks when he calls Brian today he will answer and forgive him. (Nobody knows Brian as well as me!!) But, Brian has been taken from his home, by the police, for questioning, when he's having his wedding party, with potential clients present, and all due to Michael's vindictiveness. I don't foresee forgiveness happening any time soon. I'm sure the last time Brian had the police come to his home is weighing on his mind, too. It never sits well with a gay person.

I have different feelings warring regarding this chapter, starting with the party.

I'm not surprised the first words out of Debbie's mouth was to halt Brian, thinking he should go after Michael. What I am surprised about, is her lack of (do I want to say horror) to find out that was what Michael had said while completely sober. Melanie and Lindsay fall into that category too. There should have been gasps of shock and surprise.

I do want to say *Kudos* for each Michael and Justin getting some well-deserved punches, and I'd like to see them try and sue. Ethan came into their home, during their wedding... and Michael... Brian wouldn't let him. Besides, Carl was there. They were both well deserved.

I applaud Cynthia and Colby!

As far as Brian and Justin go... okay, Brian was concerned with the way Justin reacted... but when Justin more or less told him he knew that Brian forgave Michael for saying that before, Brian SHOULD have apologized. Then I think Justin should have said, 'he's your best friend, deal with it' and went into another bedroom, only arriving back in there 15 minutes later, and then dominating Brian, working through his anger. Brian should have had to stew for his lack of remorse.

Hey! This is what you get for asking what we thought of the chapter *smirk*
