I'm sticking with my story that Brian misinterpreted something he THINKS Justin did... I can't see Justin doing something and not knowing why Brian was shunning him.
Way to go Teddy!!!!! you rock, indeed!!!
Author's Response:
Your theory about a misinterpretation is a good one... all will be revealed soon. :)
Teddy really does rock and is such a fantastic friend! It was so much fun to write a good part of this story from his POV.
Thanks for leaving a comment on every chapter, Kathy. :)

I just wanted to say how much I love this story. There aren't nearly enough stories about Ted as there should be! I have a lot I'd like to say but I just wanted to thank you for writing this story and doing an excellent job writing the characters, and to Alois for the amazing artwork.
Author's Response:
Thank you for your comments and the compliment about my writing, Emily! You have me doing a happy dance. :)
When you have more time, I'd love to hear all your thoughts on this story, but even if you can't 'manufacture' that time, I very much appreciate that you took a moment to leave this review.
I agree, there aren't nearly enough stories about Ted. I knew I was taking a chance writing a fic partly from Ted's POV, but I wanted to try something other than a straightforward Brian-Justin romance, which is what most readers prefer. Plus, there's actually a goodly amount of Brian and Justin in this story.
Alois is cracking up over ever comment about her artistry, but I'm convinced she's not only the best beta ever, she's also an amazing artist. Justin couldn't have created that backdrop without her help. :p
The finale will be up this coming Saturday... and all will be revealed. :D

Omg the golden buzzer. Way to go Teddy.
Doesn't Justin realize Brian's anger is covering his hurt? He needs to get Brian to talk to him. Hopefully before the fiddler get the bird poop off him and he sees Justin.
Love Em and Drew.
I think Ted would be a great mentor for Austin.
Author's Response:
Hi, Sherry! Thanks for reviwing this chapter. You're comments have me smiling like crazy.
Justin only recently learned what caused Brian to push him away for good. Now he has to get that stubborn brunet to talk to him so the problem can be resolved. Not an easy thing to accomplish...
You picked up on just who the lucky recipient of that bird dookie was. hahahaha You're the first to mention it.
Em and Drew are wonderful together, now that - with an assist from Ted - Drew has gotten his head out of his ass. Happy ever after time for that couple. <3
I have a feeling that Austin will be staying in touch with Ted, now that he's found such a great mentor.
The finale will be up this coming Saturday. You'll have to let me know whether it's even better than this chapter. :)

Wow! What a fantastic chapter! So much fun! Ted 'rocked!' Lol Okay Brian & Justin, wtf boys, get your shit together!
Beautiful job Alois! You're so talented!
Author's Response:
I'm glowing from your wonderful review. *happy dance time*
I agree. Ted rocked that Figaro aria. He's finally getting more of the recognition he truly deserves. :)
Brian and Justin *sigh*. Such stubborn men. Let's hope Ted has given them enough of a push that they do get their shit together.
I'll have to make sure Alois reads the comments on this chapter. She's the best beta - and artist - ever. I can hear her laughing about that...
The finale will be up this Saturday. You'll have to let me know whether it's even better than this chapter.
Thanks for commenting, Glo!

Author's Response:
Aw, thank you, Navneet! Using Em's words, "It was marvellous," warmed my heart. <3 I think some readers aren't giving this story a chance because it's not a pure Brian/Justin romance, but I wanted to try something a little different, telling part of the story from Ted's POV, so I'm chuffed to get such an appreciative comment.
The artist - and most amazing beta ever - thanks you. She and Justin painted the perfect stage set for Ted.
You may have a bit of foreshadowing going on... you'll see what I mean when I post the final chapter this coming Saturday. :D

What a success for Ted! As for Justin, he has a lot of work to do as Brian is really not in a good mood.
I'm so glad Emmett has his "fame" moment with Drew; he dreamt about it and now it's done.
The dream with the bowtie was very funny; did Justin scream like a schoolgirl?
Author's Response:
Thank you for being such a faithful reviewer, Claire. It's always a pleasure to read your comments. :)
I'm so thrilled for Ted that he got more of the recognition he so richly deserves. The guy's a dreamboat, really; he just has lacked the self-confidence to accept that.
Brian's been in a pissy mood for months; hopefully that amazing blond will solve the condundrum so they can reconcile.
Em deserves his happy-ever-after! With an assist from Ted, Drew came to his senses and provided it. <3
I'm glad you enjoyed the dream with the bowtie; you're the first to menton it. As for whether Justin screamed like a schoolgirl, he's never going to fess up... :D
The finale will be up this coming Saturday.

Ted's definately got Talent. So do you and Alois. The next chapter will have to work hard to outdo this one.
Author's Response:
Thank you for being the first reviewer on both MW and KD, Phyllis. :)
Your comment about Alois and me having talent warms my heart and has me smiling like crazy. <3
Ted unquestionably has talent, and now he's the latest opera sensation.
You'll have to let me know if you think the grand finale matches this chapter. It will be up next Saturday.
Thanks again for all your support of this story. It means a lot to me.
