Damn! Justin and Mel squaring off. Mel is not looking like the better parent and she's sealing her fate with that as we speak.
Lindsay is no better. She's letting her wife dictate what happens.
Brian, Justin, Gus and Cameron need to work out their issues as a family without any others butting in.
Can't wait for the next chapter.

Hey Star, I am seriously enjoying this new story. I know I've said this before but can't help myself. This has got to be one of the best stories you have written so far.
I love the whole AU premise in this and the way Brian and Justin meet and the fact Justin is older and not just the 'little twink that could'.
Justin is to all intets and purposes the more dominant character here and is the one who kept secrets about his previous life. Brian is the one who is wrong footed most of the time.
I love this switch in characters/personalities the most about this story. And you know I'm always partial to bit of Mikey bashing, HeHeHe! Plus my opinion of the witches in the north.
Don't know if you have ever seen 'Emerald City', but Joley Richardson's portrayal of the witch of the north definately has overtones of your portrayal of Lindsay, in a lot in your work. Refined, pure, anjelic and mean, manipulative and twisted underneath. Convincing her prey that she is only there to help and empathise with them, while stabbing them in the back. Hah! love it!
Okaaay, maybe too much vino consumed after reading that back, but heyho there you go! It's Saturday!
Love and hugs from the UK,
Deb

What a shitty mother Mel can be; she hates Brian so much that she doesn't care if Gus and Justin are hurt. Selfish bitch! And Lindsay should get a backbone for once and confront her, since she is the birth mother.
So glad Brian decided to fight and to get a new phone.

Mel will rush over anyone to get her way no matter who she hurts. Mel didn't even listen to a word Justin said. Yeah, get a good lawyer Mel. How about support for Gus? Why aren't her and Lindsay paying any?
Aa for a new phone, right move.

Hunter's a smart man. Mel will try anything to bash Brian and Michael no matter who's around to hear it.
Why is everything pointing to Ben as being the one who controlled the family?
Brian right now is fighting a losing battle. Why is he questioning Justin's whereabouts? Can't be because he's afraid of losing him. He's already did that without throwing jealousy into the mix.
Can they be friends again like Hunter suggestedbefore becoming lovers?
Poor Deb, can't reach Brian. For how long?

Nice! Get rid of that phone Brian! And make sure the witches don't get a hold of Gus. How dare they! Even though our boys are having major issues, they stood together in solidarity. Good for them!

The lure of Michael and Deb is too strong for Brian to leave behind. He's gping to try and think of a way to have it all. Right now he's losing Justin,Gus, and Cameron.. He really doesn't seem to care.
Borh theories of Nick's are right. Payback from Ben for being treated as a third wheel.

I guess Mel has forgotten that Gus is old enough to tell the Judge everything and like his father he doesn't lie and he won't hold back.
Are Mel and Lindsay really ready for this fight and the consequences??
Plus isn't Brian paying support for Jenny as well as Gus?
Michael isn't paying any support right or spending hardly anytime with Jenny???
And in custody cases a lot of truths come out that won't help Mel or Lindsay look any better than Brian or Justin.
And can't they ask for any money that wasn't directly spent on Gus to be paid back with interest?
Time to go for the jugular, I wouldn't put it past Mel to ask for more money since Gus is almost 18 and the support payments stop in less than a year???
And with the money Brian and Justin have they can afford a top notch lawyer or lawyers and a private investigator. (Unless Cynthia has thought ahead and already has the dirt?)
Brian was smart to stand by Justin and to tell Cynthia to bring him a new phone with a new number, he is making the right decision to smash his phone and to really think about the excuses he made about Michael's behavior towards Justin and his behavior towards Michael.
Brian and Justin are coming together to fight the girls and hopefully this will start to help them repair their relationship?
Plus show Gus that Brian is willing to fight anyone to protect his children.

Melanie is asking for trouble. I'm glad that Brian is getting his act together and getting a new phone is the first step to doing that.

Good chapter. Thanks!

Wow...a lot of adulting going on. I feel so bad for Gus but can't blame him. It looks like their starting to heal though...very slowly.

Well it's a start. Brian is going to have a lot of making up to do.
I do hope both Justin and Gus give him a chance.
Thanks for the update.

Brian has a lot to make up for. Ben did his share to hurt their marriage, but Brian is a grown man. Liked that Gus pointed out that Michael was one too and he's older then Brian. Where does Emmett stand in all this?

I bet that chapped Brian's ads.

What always ticked me off about Mel on the show was that she always threw everything Brian did wrong in his face, but he never stooped to her level and threw her indiscretions back in her and he could have because she gave him a lot of ammunition.
Badmouthing Brian doesn't make her a better parent it just shows her children how bitter she is and how after all these years it has just consumed her, she now takes any small details to blow up so she can lump another stone at Brian.
At least he didn't marry someone who only saw him as temporary rest stop before she could move on to greener pastures!!!
Brian gave her an inch and she ran a mile and like Deb and Michael she abused it to prop herself up <shakes head sadly> And so is Lindsay by staying quiet
Brian is really seeing that Justin and Gus are not going to make this easy for him, because he let them down too many times, but at least he is trying but the real test will be Michael and Deb.
Hunter gave Justin some good advice but he is too afraid to listen right now, he wants to let Brian in but he is waiting for Brian to let him down again.
Brian's and Justin have a long road ahead of them and a lot of obstacles to knock down :(

The heat is long gone between them. Hunter is quite a good counselor.

I'm worried about Gus: with Brian's stupid acts and Mel trashing him, there is so little to salvage his relationship with his father.
Date: Oct 23, 2017 6:00 pm Title: Chapter 4
Great chapter: Brian is opening his eyes, finally. At least, Cameron is happy to see him and is caring. Gus and Justin are too hurt, but they will see what Brian will try to do.
Good riddance of the Novotny family!

I really like Nick...wish he was real and in the actual show. lol Oh Ben Ben Ben...what did you do...I'm very surprised. Yikes. Jesus I feel so bad for Hunter but am so glad he has Justin.

I certainly hope Brian listens to Nick and takes his advice.
I knew Gus was going to be the hardest person to get through to. I think he and Brian need to have a unburdening of some sort.
Thanks for the great update.

Jessica

Brian has to stop making excuses and face the damage that was inflicted, he allowed Deb and Michael a lot of leeway and condemned Justin for standing up for himself.
I hope they find a way back to each other and their family, but Deb and Michael can't be involved at all.
Justin has enough to deal with and doesn't need Mel using their situation to get back at Brian, she either needs to let go of her animosity or Justin should show how her actions how consequences.
And Lindsay is bidding her time to but in and drive the wedge further.

I'm liking Nick. He tells it like it is and in spite of everything he's trying to help Brian and Justin get back together. You write great stories.
Date: Oct 22, 2017 7:53 pm Title: Chapter 4
I certainly hopes Justin gives him a chance to fix their family. But Brian does need to see how hurt Justin is. And...poor Gus. He might be the toughest to give forgiveness.
Thanks for the update.

WIll it work? Can Brian really handle Deb and Mikey out of his life? Sonehow I don't think so. Prove me wrong.

Make it all better.
