I fucking love Rob. He doesn't care that Brian is in hospital, he's telling him what a selfish, stubborn man he is. I say those words lovingly by the way. He's right, they both end up hurting each other while trying to protect the other. They are insufferable lol

I really like Rob - great job developing his character. Personally, I find character development the hardest part of writing. Especially with an original character. That’s why fanfic is so much easier than other writing, because you start with a character that’s already essentially formulated. But you do a great job here with Rob. Kudos. TAG

Thank you! After writing this, I decided to flesh him out even more and did a character worksheet for him. I know all kinds of things about this character now and it was so fun to create. I really like him too. Thanks so much <3 If I do a third story he will definitely have an important role.

What a powerful chapter. You must be exhausted when you finish one like this. Terrific writing. Now let's hope that both Brian and Justin will listen to Rob.

Thank you! <3 Justin's panic in the last chapter and this one was difficult to write and required a lot of breaks. But it was important to the story. We are coming to a pivotal point now...

Wow powerful chapter it gave me some insight into the many barriers of being a paraplegic and how a partner or carer needs to know. We know it’s not just the physical it’s also the emotional
Author's Response:
Thank you <3 We are very complex creatures, aren't we? SCI is a major upset to a lot of different systems in the body -- with the one injury, you inherit a lot of other potential health problems down the road, and a lot to watch out for and take care of in order to maintain good health. I'm glad you enjoyed the chapter!

Physically, Brian seems out of the woods; for the rest, he must start talking to someone and then to Justin; I don't think he should talk directly to Justin, as he must learn what to say and how to say it.
Author's Response:
Physically, he's going to be fine -- it's just going to take a little while, and he's had a bit of a wake up call here too. For the rest...that will be coming, and it's pivotal to being able to move on and live his best life without being haunted by the past.

There is so much that Brian should tell Justin. Same with Justin, but he doesn't know what it is he should be discussing. Rob has been a help since he's been through roughly the same thing. Maybe he should tell both Brian and Justin about his kidney stone episode. Justin wouldn't feel so bad.
Author's Response:
Brian and Justin definitely need to talk...and they will. Rob was sort of a big brother to Brian when they first met, because he'd been through all of it and come out on the other side. He's also a lot more open than Brian, as he mentioned in this chapter, which makes him more helpful than Brian as far as Justin is concerned here. Now, Justin has the info he needs to be the kind of partner he wants to be.
