What the hell happened to Brian? Did he know Justin before? Why doesn't anyone tell him the truth? I need to read more. Great start.

Aha! We finally get Justin's side of the story. He was acting like a silly twat, of course. Still hate this Michael. TAG

OMG! I love this story. I couldn't put it down. I was as captivated as I was reading "Only You". How you slowly revealed the twists and deceptions. I hope you have more for us.

Thank you so much. I'm so glad you enjoyed the ride:)

I'm so bad. If I was Brian and Michael told me he'd attempt suicide again if Brian didn't return his love, I'd have said, 'Good! Then I'd be rid of your manipulative ass!' Lol. TAG

I'm assuming that Daphne was yelling at Justin about him not telling the truth either. I kinda agree with her. Why isn't Justin telling Brian about their real past? This won't end well . . . TAG

I really like this Brian - he's so much more comfortable in his own skin. TAG

Thanks for all the backstory. This explains a little why Brian didn't talk to Em or Ted about the lies Michael was telling him. Poor Brian. TAG

More on with the back story in later chapters ;)

Thanks, again!

This is a fabulous ending.  Michael and Deb couldn't just accept things, they both had to go and mess things up.  I'm surprised that Carl was able to overlook their manipulations.  I'm so happy to see that Brian and Justin are still friends with Ted and Emmett as well as Ben and Sam.  I've enjoyed this story but even more so this last chapter.  Thank you.

Author's Response:

With Carl, love is blind, I guess;)

Thanks you so much for all your reviews, I truly appreciate it.

Brava!!!

I liked the inverted story telling.  I think Brian and Justin deserved the happy ending they received.  Lindsay got off easy, but I understand that Gus needs his mom, and she did choose Mel finally. As for Deb again a slight pass for grief and being a mom, but I think playing fast and loose with facts is her trait.  

Mikey Mikey, Mikey - he got what he deserved.  When it came down to it and he stole Justin's money, and lied about having other money it ruined the defense of "Oh but I love you".  This Mikey was the perfect monster.  

Thanks for this roller coaster love story, I trully enjoyed it.

I don't even know where to start. I'm honestly not sure that my mere words could sum up all that this wonderful fic encompassed. It was a daily joy to await a new chapter and it never once disappointed. Incredibly long and emotional chapters. I LOVE long chapters btw. 

B&J get the ending they so well deserve. Brian has come a longway. What a journey it was for him. Leaving so much of his old self behind and embracing the man he was destined to be. Becoming the man he so wanted to become. Acknowledging the challenges that may or may not lay ahead of him and Justin just shows his maturity and his depth of feelings for Justin. He took a look at all he once was and who he had bcome in teh past couple of years and made the decision as to who he wanted to be to make him a better made, husband and father. 

I have to say, I was impressed with Lindsey's honesty. She faced him head on and cam clean with everything from teh time they met forward. That too a lot of guts. While Brian was initially angered by her levels of deceipt, he chose to move forward from it, mind you with a touch of leeriness. They seemed to have developed a much healthier realtionship over time. she's put Mel, Gus and Jenny as her prioroties adn seems to be reaping the benefits.

While I expected most of the behavior from Michael, admittedly a few of his actions threw me, but whatever. Michael will always be Michael sadly. It was Debbie that disappointed me beyond words. She never fully learned her lesson. blindly running to his defense without any knowledge as to what happened. you'd think after what he did initially, she'd be more apt to question the whys and wherefores, but now....she surmises that someone has done her son wrong. I was actully pretty surprised that Carl even stuck it out considering everything he foudn out. He's much more gracious than I could have ever been.

Ted and Emmett truly tried to be "Switzerland" and be friends with everyone, even once B&J compoletely cut ties, but the vitriol that continued to spew from Michael's mouth must've just shake their heads.

Again.....no words. I'm ready to put it onto my Kindle now and am looking forward to the weekend where I can curl up in my comfy chair, relax and read it all together. I know it's going to be one that I keep going back to and re-reading.

Thank you so very much for sharing this treasure with us.

Cheers,

Elaine
