Finally got to the last posted chapter. Love this story. So happy that Brian sees the real Mikey and isn't going along with him anymore. Can't wait to see what you have next for us. Great writing.
Author's Response: Thanks Darling, I'm so glad you're enjoying it! Brian's had enough of Michael shenanigans, more smackdowns to come... Later Hon ~ Kathleen

Well Brian will eventually sweep Justin off his feet. Chinese food helps towards that. Ha!
Really was nice of Brian to tell Ted about Justin's aborted trip. The money for it will be nice. Now when Justin breaks up with the fiddler, he won't have to worry about the money being wasted. Blake and Ted will have a fantastic time.
Oh Brian Brian Brian, I applaud you. That smackdown, kick him to the curb was just beautiful. Deb damn well better not hold it against you for making her little boy return to her busom. Better get those locks at the loft changed before Michael tries to retaliate and ruin all of Justin's and Vince's work.wouldn't put it past the little shit to try and do something. Already blaming Justin for Brian's turn against him.
Author's Response: Brian has learned, that the way to keep Justin's attention is to feed him. At least Ted and Blake got to enjoy a romantic holiday. Justin will gets his, but not in the way he's planned, Brian to the rescue... We can only hope that Debbie remembers, what Brian said. If she withdraws funds to help Michael, her mortgage is reinstated. Sorry Mikey, it's time to grownup! Hugs Hon ~ Kathleen

OH KATHLEEN! Thank you so much. A broke, destitute Michael... I can live with that. The thing I won't like though, is if he moves in with Debbie. If he does that, I can't see him wanting to get a job, if he can live for free at Deb's. No responsibilities, won't make him grow up. So glad Brian made that executive decision to sell of all his collectibless and comics. I just have to wonder what's going to happen when Michael runs into Justin, as I'm sure it's inevitable.
Good to see that the situation doesn't allow for Justin to go to Italy. I cringe thinking what Ethan is going to say when Justin tells him it's over (I'm waiting patiently for that to happen). Still trying to figure out Ethan's angle for needing the money... unless he plans on Justin helping him make cd's of his work, and marketing a campaign to sell them. Also, setting him up with a designer wardrobe. Or, maybe he plans to swindle Justin money away from him, before he leaves high and dry... maybe he has someone on the side? Who knows?
I've been alternating reading this between here and Midnight Whispers, only I have two different user names. So, I have to remember to use Kinnetik Dreams from on. Thank you for this awesome story...
Hugs, Cathy
Author's Response: Yes, A desperate and desuetude Michael with no more toys to play with. Boo Who Mikey! He needs to get a job, but who will hire him? Hopefully Debbie will stay strong, and finally stop babying him. I cringe thinking about Ethan too, but he'll have to stay around until him and Justin have their showdown. Of course Brian will be there to help Justin when the truth come out. So what name do you use on Midnight Whispers??? Can I venture a guess that maybe your Britin Manor??? Let me know my curiosity is piqued. Hugs Sweetheart ~ Kathleen

Brian is rich and he's doing what he can to placate Justin. Michael on the other hand is the arrogant prick not to mention ungrateful. That does not bode well. Ted was happy to land himself a trip to Italy, a win for Justin. Ethan falls into the same catagory as Mikey.
Author's Response: Brian is learning how that dating things works, even if he can't see that's what's happening. Love is blind... Michael, Ethan can I just hire a hit-man to take them both out??? Ted and Blake in Italy, Sweet! Later Darling ~ Kathleen

Hey Darling!
I absolutely LOVED this chapter, from beginning and especially, the end. I'm so glad Justin and Vince are going to go ahead with the project, and that Lindsay was being reasonable in reference to Gus' visit. I know everything probably won't stay rosy in that corner, but at least for now, she's displaying empathy. Could it be because she's been silently fuming about Michael's machinations for years. Hmm...
As for Justin, is it wrong for me to be clapping my hands in GLEE that he won't be going to see the idiot in Italy? I keep hoping that the Leaning Tower of Piza will finally lean over far enough to crush the little twerp, but that's not nice....Oh who am I kidding, I'm NOT that nice, LOL Hopefully, by the time Ethan returns to the States, Justin will have officially move out AND MOVED ON!
Michael <insert deep sigh here> Michael, Michael, MICHAEL! OMG! He needs to be run out of Pittsburgh by an angry mob! Like seriously, he expected to be allowed to continue to mooch?! And every time you turn around he's lamenting of how he's Brian's best friend <cringing yet again!> when in reality he's no one's best friend, not even his own. What he actually is, there are few choice words for, but I settle for the millstone around everyone's neck. UGH! He should lose his voice so that he can't screech, whine, complain, and beg for anything else!
Looking forward to MORE!
HAPPY WRITING and HUGS,
~Nichelle
Author's Response: There's nothing better than a Michael smack-down, unless of course it's a Michael smack-down in jail. Yes, I've been reading your fics, sorry about not commenting... I love your writing! Wouldn't that be great, Michael losing his voice, hmmm... I'll have to work on that. Ethan, not to worry, he'll be getting his comeuppances soon enough... You won't believe what he's been up to in Europe... Coming soon, just a couple more chapters... Later Sweetheart ~ Kathleen

It was time for Brian to cut the strings/cables chaining him to Michael.
Author's Response: That's so true. He should have used the cables to bound and tie Michael up, then drown him in the river... He, he, he... Hugs Hon ~ Kathleen

I am absolutely loving this story. I really like Justin being so strong in his professional life - shame he is so gullible and dominated in his personal life with Ethan. Ethan definitely needs kicking to the curb.
Author's Response: Justin's slowly opening his eyes to Ethan's dominating, superior, and condescending attitude. While finally seeing Brian's determined, honest, and sincerer pining for him. Hugs Hon ~ Kathleen

About time!!!
About time Deb got her blinders off to see how little Mikey really is.
About time Brian finally puts an end to that friendship. Wasn't doing him any good. Bet he feels the weight of the world is off his shoulders.
About time everyone makes Mikey grow up. Ha! Like that's going to happen.
About time Michael takes care of his mother. Sell his collectibles and put the money into her retirement fund. Mikey should support her in her old age. That would make sure she's taken carw of.
Good luck Brian where Justin's concerned. Pour on the charm you're going to need it.
Author's Response: You are so right! It was long over due, now let's see if everyone can stay on topic without caving to the swine/whine... Brian's learning that slow and steady will win the race. But the waiting is driving him crazy... Later Sweetheart ~ Kathleen

Good for Brian. I have waited for him to give this speech for years .

Woohoo, Brian finally let 'shit for brains' go and good riddance! Brian better change his code for the building & get a locksmith too. I can't blame Justin for being so pissed, that was friggin horrible and humiliating. Michael is such a jealous, vindictive asshole. Brian does have the art of persuasion down to an art form though, he'll do it.
Author's Response: Good riddance in deed! Justin maybe pissed, but Brian is determined to get his own what he wants, and he wants his blond angel. Later Darling ~ Kathleen

Kathleen,
This just keeps getting better and better. I'm glad Brian finally told off the nasty weasel. Now he just needs to get the blond angel back. Loving this story.
~Lorie
Author's Response: Thanks so much! The Mikey smack-down was a long time coming. He may have let Michael railroad him constantly. But there is no way he is going to allow Mikey to go after his blond. A protective Brian, is someone you'd best not cross. Hugs Darling ~ Kathleen

Brian is really too good even for Debbie; OK, she helped him when he was in need, but she let her son act like a kid for years and didn't bother to shake him out of his funk.
Author's Response: Yes, Debbie always turned a blind eye, when she should have smacked him across the back of his head, and booted him on flat ass until he took responsibility for his actions and attitudes. Lord knows she doesn't let anyone else get away with any bullshit! Hugs Hon ~ Kathleen

Why is Justin deaf and blind when it comes to the chin rat? The rat wants Justin's money. When putting money down on a home for them was mentioned, I have to wonder why Justin didn't mention his studio space. Nah not because he was drunk.
Justin is never going to find anything or anyone that makes him feel like Brian does. Come alive like Brian does. Boy is he in for a royal disappointment if he goes after the traveling troubadour.
Author's Response: Justin's slowly learning about being a gay man in the real world, and what better teacher is there than Mr. Kinney. Unfortunately, he may have a few bumps and falls along the way... Later Darling ~ Kathleen

I also love the way Justin stands up for himself and goes toe to toe with Brian without being worried about his reaction.

Kathleen,
The idiot and the weasel never quit. Justin is crazy if he thinks for one minute that Ethan would spend one cent of HIS money on anything for someone other than himself. Although he expects Justin to pay for EVERYTHING he wants out of his money.
Great story.

Author's Response: Yep, Ethan and Michael are both just whining users, never paying for a thing, wanting a free ride. Hugs Hon ~ Kathleen

Ethan and the weasel are such entitled assholes. They both need a good slap across the face with a reality shovel. I'm loving this story. I LOVE Justin's furniture.

I LOVE Daphne! She really tells it like it is! A gal after my own heart. As for Michael, someone is definitely on the road to Loonyville. 'We've been together since we were fourteen...' Really, Schmuck?! I hope while Emmett has Justin alone he takes the time to disabuse Justin of Michael's preposterous notions.
As for Ethan, UGHHHHHHH!!!!! Why can't he fall out of orbit WITH his violin?! That money is the real reason he's trying to hold on so tight to Justin. I just hope Justin sees it before he spends any more money for or regarding Ethan. That damned 'Gimme' syndrome he has is truly irksome and needs to be corrected with a cinderblock to the throat. He and Michael are cut from the same entitled, greedy, attention-seeking cloth! UGH! They should hook up since together they are both still children with the IQ of a rattle and the attractiveness of a car wreck. They truly are a match made in hell!
Really enjoying this!
Happy Writing and HUGS,
~Nichelle
Author's Response: Daphne has no problem seeing the real person Ethan is. But Justin is still wanting to believe in true love, after all he's been waiting for years. Ethan, Michael, bricks down his throat, violin bow through the eye, yep sound like it could be love at first sight... he, he, he... Hugs Darling ~ Kathleen

Pretty hot scene in Babylon! I'm glad that Justin countered Micheal. Emmett is so fun and so is Daphne! I can't wait for a confrontation between Daphne and Michael! I wonder why Ethan is pushing Justin for his found and why Justin doesn't react more to that.
Author's Response: I'm surprised Michael's head didn't explode as he watched Brian and Justin on the dance floor. Daphne sure will be the right person the rip Michael a new one... Yes, what does Ethan need all that money for??? Later Darling ~ Kathleen

He's already BOOKED the tickets??? No no no... Brian better bed the blond soon... Something has to get it through him! Thanks for the update. Looking forward to more soon.

Author's Response: I love Justin's drunken take down of Michael, he so deserved it. It may be a few more chapters before Justin and Brian truly get together, but there will be a bit of kissing and grinding along the way. One step forward, two steps back... Later Darling ~ Kathleen
