I am glad that you enjoyed reading both stories and thanks for taking the time to read them and to let me know :)

As of now, I have a couple of sequel ideas in my head, but nothing has been written or even started yet. And none of the ideas involve Michael :P As of now I am focusing on another universe that I am putting Brian and Justin in... As much as I love this Brian and Justin and their sons, after two stories, it's time for a break and something new. But who knows? Maybe one day one of those sequel ideas will turn into a story ;)

I have really enjoyed these 2 stories, although I'm still not sure Justin should should have forgiven brian so easily. But it was inevitable once they were living in the same house together.  Of course I am still enjoying 'the pittsburgh years' as I do love a good Michael/Linday bashing!

I have been thinking maybe you could do a one off follow up to this forward 2/3 years. Michael gets released/paroled from prison and we see if anything has changed! Never say never!

Thanks for your excellent writing,

Deb

At the moment I am writing on a different story altogether, but I do have some ideas in my head about possible sequels for this universe, so who knows? Never say never ;)

A very good ending.  If Daphne can forgive I guess I can too.



Author's Response:

Haha, yeah. If she can, we can follow her lead :) And we can always threaten Brian with bodily harm as well :P 

Thank you for joining me on this amazing ride and for your comments - I really appreciated them :D

Hi again or for the last time! I can't tell you how sad I'm that this journey now came to an end! First of all, I want to thank you for the way you published this story. I've already told you that I rarely read stories that aren't finished or published at one go. I've done it a few times and nearly went crazy if a very exiting story was canceled. I mean, there are always private reasons and we have to accept them but it's hard for the readers. For me, it's also always hard to accept that a good show has a break for a year or something. You always have to get involved in this story again  and again. So, I really liked your concept with publishing two chapters a week. To be honest, if you'd published your story all at once, I wouldn't have been able to stop reading, wouldn't have given you so many detailed reviews and would have neglected my family. :-) Another advantage in publishing it the way you did, was, that we always had time to think about it very exactly. So, thanks very much for this!

Then, I've already praised your writing-style. But I have to tell you again, it was a pleasure to read and you are very talented! Now, to the story. At the beginning, like some other readers, I was skeptical that I could endure what Brian did here to Justin. But by the way you've set out Brian's reasons, and also by your characterization of Justin, you've managed to convince me that makes all sense. You've chosen a difficult topic that is about forgiveness and understanding and about questioning one's own mind and leaping over one's own shadow for the benefit of other people or in this case of children. This isn't easy and will probably often be different in real life, but hey, that's what stories and fiction are for... to show how it should or could be done.

Especially to Brian and Justin: Your story is about true friendship, understanding, trust. The time in New York seems to have done Justin well. He's developed in your story to a very mature and wise human. Brian has also undergone very important developments and changes during these five years. And by the recent encounter with Justin, he finally realized that you shouldn't take other people decisions, but sometimes seek help or take a risk. I'm very glad that the two have come together again through an initial friendship, that they have learned, or Brian in particular, to open up, to talk to each other, to make decisions together. Otherwise a renewed relationship wouldn't have been possible. In my opinion, you've let them stay in charakter and portrayed them as we know them from the show or as I see them.

Well, this epilogue. What can I say, it contains everything I had hoped for. It's so nice to see them finally as a happy family and I'm happy for all four of them that after all this time of suffering - and they all have, maybe Luke least, since he's still so young, a lot of pain, cheating and experience suffering - finally find peace and just live and enjoy their being together. I must admit, I will miss them, especially Luke and still hope for a sequel... But for now, thank you so much for sharing this wonderful, amazing, very well written story! Warmest regards and a big hug!

Thank you so much for joining me on this amazing ride and for all your amazing comments! I can't tell you how much I have appreciated reading your thoughts and comments and how happy they have made me over the last months :)

I totally understand what you're saying about abandoned stories and WIPs. That is exactly why I swore to myself never to publish a story like that. I hate nothing more than reading a story and then having to wait several months at times before the next chapter is up. When the next chapter comes, I have no idea what happened before and most of the times don't even really remember the story anymore. It's really annoying and one of the reasons why I mostly only read finished stories. I do get that writers have personal lives and issues as well and we all have time constraints, but when you start posting a story (in my opinion!), you make a commitment to your readers and they deserve kind of regular updates. What is so hard about finishing a story first and posting it then? That way you are not under any time pressure to get it finished because no one is waiting, no one even knows about the story but you and once it's finished and you start posting, you'll have time to actually interact with the readers and talk about the story as you're not pushed by time to get another chapter up soon. For me it's the only way I can imagine writing and publishing my stories, to be honest. I do get that everyone is different though, so fair enough to writers that handle it differently :)

Yes, this is a story. People should never forget that we're talking about a man giving birth to a baby here ;) I do like that people made parallels to their own lives and got thinking what they would be doing in a situation like that, but at the end of the day it's "just" fiction and not a real story, so no reason to get angry about the characters not doing what we might like them to do or what we might think would be most/more realistic. It's a story, it's fiction and it's supposed to show us what could be and to bring us fun :)

To me both Brian and Justin needed to grow up and change. If they had gotten back together the way they were at the end of season 5 or had continued their relationship like then, I don't think they could have worked. Of course I'd like to think so, but realistically speaking, they both needed to do some more growing up to be able to have a "proper" relationship with each other :)

I do have some ideas for the future of the Kinney-Taylors in this universe, so might actually return to them at one point. You never know :)

Amazing first effort. I’m still not sure I agree with Justin as to forgiving Brian - I don’t think I could do it - but I understand your thinking. Thanks for writing. TAG

Thanks for joining me on this amazing ride and thanks for sharing your thoughts and comments with me :)

I do understand where you're coming from and I am not sure I could be that forgiving myself, but it's a story and in this story they deserved to get their happy ending ;)

Wonderful endidng.  I am a sucker for happy endings so you made my day.  As is my normal, I will miss them dearly.  I get very attached to some stories, but knowing they are well, is enough for me.  Thank you for your amazing writing.

Thank you for this sweet ending. You wrapped it up beautifully. Justin better enjoy his Saturday morning snuggles with Gus, because at eleven, they probably won't last much longer.  It was good to see the whole family has been supportive of Brian and Justin as a couple.

Regarding my last review, I'm so very sorry if I offended you with my suggestion of checking out the Plot Bunnies. I certainly wasn't suggesting you couldn't come up with a story idea of your own. What I only intended it to mean, is there are so many great story ideas that I wish some gifted author would pick up. I'm not a writer, so I had never looked at writing a story the way you described it, by starting one 'born in your mind'. But, you proved yourself in my eyes with your two piggy back stories. I wouldn't mind seeing this verse revisited about three years into the futher when Mikey gets out of prison and learns of the 'Kinney-Taylors'. That could prove interesting.

I would be happy with just seeing another story from you. You're one of the gifted authors I was referring to. Your story-telling is well-written and an amazing read. Thank you for honoring us with this story.

XOXO ~ Cathy

You are very welcome :) Thank you for joining me on this wild ride and hanging on till the very end. I know this was not an easy story for Brian/Justin fans as they started in a very bad place and were separated for about 98% of the story. So thanks for hanging on till the end!

I have really loved reading your comments and thoughts and appreciate you taking the time to share them with me :D

Nah, you weren't offending me at all. I am sorry if my reply seemed that way, but I was not offended at all. I basically just wanted to explain my writing process to you and why Plot Bunnies don't usually work for me. It was a very kind suggestion from your side, so don't feel bad about it at all :*

I actually have some ideas in my mind about revisiting this universe. Writing two back to back stories at the same time kind of made me feel really connected with the charatcers, so there is a definite chance that I will revisit them again at some point in the future. After two stories, it was definitely time for a completely new story, though and that's what I am working on at the moment. Something very, very different from this universe :)

Unfortunately or fortunately, depending on how you look at it, that story i am working on at the moment has turned into something way bigger than I have originally expected, so it might take me a bit longer to finish than I would have liked. Especially seeing how I have changed jobs recently and my private life is rather busy at the moment. If only I were a recluse with no friends and had time to write more than I do now *lol* 

But we still have the Pittsburgh Years, so I am not completely gone yet ;)
