Sorry I am only getting back to you now :(
Thanks for reading the story!
Unfortunately, for now this is it. I might go back to this universe in the future, but for now I am focused on other stories.
Thanks for your comment, I really appreciate it :)

Hi again and sadly for the last time! First, I'm glad that everything's alright. Like I told you, I was a little bit concerned... And now, my review also comes so late... Sorry! So, thanks for this last wonderful chapter. I think, now I've to re-read "Back for Good". :-)
Thank you for this wonderful story. You've given me such a great time reading and thinking about your story. I've to admit, "Back for good" had touched me even more, as I'm simply addicted to Brian and Justin and never tire of thinking about their unique relationship and their wonderful love again and again. But it was a great idea from you to give us an insight into those early years to find out what happened in these five years in Brian's life, his thoughts, his experiences, his development, reasons for his decisions ... I've written it so many times, but here again ... Not only do you have a wonderful writing style, the way you've portrayed these characters is also just perfect, amazing. And I love the way you've allowed Brian to mature, being a father. And though I still wish Brian hadn't made this dreadful decision at the beginning of his pregnancy, at any time you let us feel how much he loves Justin, his deep and infinite love for Justin is omnipresent.
So, what can I say, thank you for a wonderful time, I will miss your Brian, your Justin, your Gus and your little Sunshine! I would like to have accompanied them a little bit further. But who knows ... I really hope to read something from you soon or at some point again! Until then, have a really good time, warmest regards and a big hug!

I am sorry that I got people concerned - but what can I say?!? I am blond *lol* And I have a private life and in this case being blond didn't go well with having a private life *lol* It was my mistake and I messed up. Sorry to keep people waiting and having them concerned :(
I am glad that you liked this story. Both stories really. But this story in particular. As it doesn't feature any significant Brian/Justin, I know that it's not an easy story to read for most people and with Brian doing what he does in the beginning of the story, it wasn't any easier, so I am very grateful to everyone who stuck with this story and finished it. It means the world to me :D
I will miss this Brian, Justin and the boys as well :( And never say never... I am sure one day my muse will miss them as well and will want to come back, but right now she's quite busy with another story ;) There will be a new story, once I have finished editing the first draft and once I am perfectly happy with it :)
Thank you for all your nice comments and all the conversations about Brian and Justin and the show. I really liked our bi-weekly "conversations" and will miss them :)
Wishing you all the best as well! *returns the big hug with a crushing Debbie-like hug*

This was a really good story and very well written. I liked the original too. Although I am slightly biased as I love a good Linday/Michael smackdown!!
Thanks for your writing,
Deb

What was Luke's wish? To meet his papa, finally?
Wonderful story, so well written! Thank you!
Author's Response:
Like the good boy that he is, Luke never told his wish, but in my mind, yes, he wished to see his Papa. And to have that wish come true within two weeks of his birthday must have been amazing for him :)
I am glad you enjoyed the story! Thanks for all your comments, I really appreciate them :)

Knowing that Justin is coming back should cause everyone to feel bad about keeping Luke a secret.
Author's Response:
Well, we know from Back for Good that they will feel bad in their own ways :( Some more than others...
Thanks for all your comments - I really appreciate them :D

I was happy to see this finally posted. I have wondered the last couple days why it wasn't posted. I almost put a message on FB about it, as you have never missed a Wednesday or Sunday before. Then to see it today, and a LONG chapter at that, I was almost happy you had waited. It held off the inevitable for a few days.
I loved Brian's reflection of the last 5 1/2 years. He truly was blessed to come from the family he did, and the volatile friendships he had had with Lindsay and Michael. I found him very deserving of the life he had made for himself. But apparent that one thing was drastically missing in his life. A loving partner.
Then, Aha! Brian actually had forewarning that Justin had moved back. Foolish Brian. Didn't he realize that you Never procrastinate when it's something as important as this was? I have to marvel at how my prophecy for the end came true. But I loved it. I loved this whole arc. Both stories were awesome, but this one meant a lot more to me. Thank you for writing them and sharing them with us.

I was quite annoyed at myself when I realised on Wednesday at the hotel that I didn't have the file with the edited story on my netbook :( I hate to disappoint people and to keep them waiting. I hope the long chapter made up for that a bit ;)
Yes, to me Brian has always been a complex character. While I agree with everyone that what he did to Justin was wrong on so many levels, Brian was never the bad guy for me. He did what he did out of love, a misguided idea of love, but still love and I really felt for him at times. He didn't have an easy time either... Not that it excuses anything, but at times I just wanted to give him a hug. He deserves this happiness with his boys and family and even more so once Justin is back and they have made up!
Yes, Brian had a warning that Justin would move back to Pittsburgh. Which was hinted at very strongly in Back for Good. I was surprised that no one wondered in Back for Good why Brian would have a finished custody agreement just lying around at home *lol*
I am glad you enjoyed both stories and this one especially. It was a tough journey, especially as there was no Brian/Justin in this story, so I appreciate it even more that you stuck with it till the end.
Thanks so much for your comments, they mean more than I can say :D
