Just read your comment on my last review.... you mentioned S5... That's funny ... I wrote this a few hours ago...
Justin‘s reaction to Brian‘s question is so cute! And then their whole exchange the next morning. "Hey, I thought we said no phone numbers." - You let them be so beautiful, so cute together. I love them so much and that's exactly how I see them. And this "Sun-Justin". I know, since Ana's comment, he thinks, it puts too much pressure on Justin, but hey, Justin could be pouting the whole day or doing whatever, he is Brian's sunshine, his light - I don't know how to explain it... But I think it's cute that Brian tries to refrain. "And god, I would do..." This is so beautiful! And I can understand Brian's idea about LA - he always wanted to leave the Pitts and yeah, you described Justin as really happy there doing maybe for the first time something that makes him feel really useful, fulfilled, missing really only one thing, and that was Brian. And I think, okay, the family means well, but it would be also a chance for them and whatever "this" is between them to grow and develop without these constant interferences, which often led to rather negative results. But I like that they really think this through.
And then the scene with Molly is so heartbreaking, but I love how Brian handles it, comforting not only Justin but also Molly. And I never thought I would say that about tricking, (but as I wrote before, you let it seem so natural), it's so cute... "Can we have phone sex while a trick is giving me head?" I don't know what's going to happen, but at this point, your version of how it could have gone after LA is much more better than what they did with and out of them in S5. Again, thanks for this amazing story!
Author's Response:
I adore your view of Justin as "Sunshine" because he's Brian's light, not because he has to be happy all the time.
I'll be honest that moving them to LA let me avoid having to write big scenes with tons of people in them - all that dialogue is hard! But I do think that the two of them leaving Pittsburgh would be good for their relationship so it made sense with the story too.
I'm glad you think my story is better than S5 - I could have done without most of that season. It hurt so much!

Good chapter. Poor Justin. Hope one of these chapters he is feeling better. Happy Thanksgiving.
Author's Response:
He's feeling a bit better than he was. Recovery is slow and not-linear...which is both reality and makes for a more interesting story IMHO. I think for the nightmare, it was accidentally hurting Molly that was most upsetting. Not that a nightmare is fun but he knows how to cope with them. He's terrified of hurting someone else though. Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours!

Ok. All caught up reading. More please. TAG
Author's Response:
I aim to please. I need to catch up on some RL stuff (what? real life? who cares about that?) but it seems like when I settle in with the best intentions to adult, I write more. So I will probably update soon.

Moving to LA will need a lot of research and preparation, but it could be good for them.
Jennifer is going to freak if she doesn't know that Justin still has nightmares.
Author's Response:
I think Jennifer knows Justin isn’t completely cured of ptsd.
yeah the decision to move cross country isn’t an easy one

What is Jennifer going to say when she finds out?
Author's Response:
I think she will understand. She knows Justin can’t help his nightmares.
Or do you mean the phone sex? I think at this point she knows Brian and will just roll her eyes.
