I'm so happy the show went so well for Justin, we knew it would though because he's a survivor :)

And wow, the woman coming up to Justin saying she was there the night of the accident, that was kind of cool. As Brian said, it was a relief to know he wasn't alone.

I can't believe his paintings were returned to him, it's all coming together for Justin, just as it always should have.

I have another request/idea. Brian goes swimming for the first time after his accident with Justin. It's great for his body because it takes the weight off his legs. And it's a fantastic workout for his upper arms. My friend now goes swimming each week because the weight of carrying around her legs is a lot, and this takes that pressure off. I can imagine how nervous he'd be and there could be some really cute and romantic pool scenes as well as really happy ones for Brian. It would be cool for him to find a sport or activity he can excel in now he can't do all his usual workout stuff at the gym.

This is nearly over. I am not ready :(

Thank you <3 I really wanted to be able to give Justin and Brian that closure. Mostly Brian.

Another amazing chapter! You had me worried for a moment with Justin's crisis, but Brian managed to get him home and force him to get rest.

I was wondering about the missing paintings and you gave us the answer. Even if Justin didn't remember, Brian did and it's important that he could get them back and not damaged. The last surprise was Mrs Abernathy: another closure for Brian. Although, her name should have been in the report from the police if she witnessed the accident. Maybe he didn't try to meet her.

I hope Gus will get to come to NYC and spend more time with his father. Maybe Brian and Justin will think having a kid now that they found some sort of routine and have some free time.

Cynthia is the best person in Brian's life, after Justin. I always loved her (and Daphne too; too bad she couldn't be there for the show).

Thanks! <3 I needed to write a little hurt/comfort to mix in with all of this upward movement and positivity in these last few chapters. ;) I had never forgotten about the missing paintings -- although I think a lot of people thought I had. I wanted it to be a nice little surprise here at the end. As for having the name, in my mind I think Brian was so preoccupied with Justin that he wouldn't have reached out to her. There were a few "seeds" for future story planted here in this chapter, too. One of which was Gus. Not sure if they'll ever adopt a kid of their own, but Rob and Adam's girls are good stand-ins too. And I love writing Cynthia! So we'll be getting some more of her in the future too. I'm planning to continue this verse with one-shots that fit within it. I'm already working on one. The last part of this one is written and just waiting on one final extra component from another creator in the fandom. <3 I should be posting it Sunday.
