cliffhanger- well I know you won't kill either of them off- but woman, you do write lots of cliffhangers- hopegully, Brian will get there soon and he can get Justin to talk and if not, take him someplace safe-
Author's Response:
You're right in that this is is not a death fic...but there will definitely be some drama in the next chapter. And I think this is the last cliffhanger! Thanks for reading :) And hanging in with all of my cliffhangers...haha.

I love this series. I like the way in this one it is like Brian telling the story and each of the cliffhagners doing the job of keeping the reader hanging.....
Keep up the great writing!! Can't wait for the happy ending......

Author's Response:
Thank you so much! I'm so happy to hear you're enjoying the series! I sure do love writing it. And I particularly love writing Brian's point of view. And I do have a slight love of ending chapters with cliffhangers. ;) Glad they're resonating with you too! There is a happy ending coming...but we have a crisis to get through first. <3

Wow, difficult chapter, but finally we know what Justin's problem is & hope it isn't too late to help him. You know I love my happy endings. Fantastic writing as always.
Author's Response:
Things will not be easy for our boys here...but I'm a sucker for the happy, sweet, snuggly ending and writing our boys in each other's arms, reflecting back. ;) Thanks so much!

The situation is getting weirder on every new chapter. What is Justin doing and why is he so distant and secretive? So glad that Cynthia is back. Less worry for Brian.
Author's Response:
We are approaching the climax of the story now, where things should (hopefully) get a lot clearer. As for why Justin is distant and secretive...all of his symptoms are adding up to something... He's sleeping a lot, he's withdrawing, he's having mood swings, he's anxious, he's not interested in things he once was...

Oh no another cliffhanger!!!!! Love them, hate them. Usually I get a feeling about where a story is going. But you got me on this one, I have no idea what is going on with Justin which is frustrating me, but not your writing. I keep thinking of things, but nothing makes sense. Goes to show how good your are with a good mystery. Wonderful, amazing writing as always. I will keep thinking & hoping there is a sunshine, happy ending somewhere down the line.
Author's Response:
Ha...I know it's been a lot of cliffhangers, and I think there will be a few more as we approach and start to make our way through the climax of the story. Then those should calm down a little...maybe. ;) But you know me. LOL It's not really intended to be a mystery per se...all of Justin's symptoms are adding up to something...but don't overthink it. There absolutely is a happy ending coming...but the road to get there is gonna be dark. Thanks so much for reading and always reviewing! <3

Ahhhhhhhhh!! Cliffhanger!!!
Author's Response:
Hehe... sorry. ;) Sort of. They're kind of necessary for this part of the story, I think. They should calm down in a few chapters, I think.

What is Justin up to? Did the show get canceled and he's too ashamed to admit it?
Author's Response:
You're sort of getting there... ;) Keep reading to find out!

Oh no, evil cliffhanger! You know we will be back even without one of those.
Very good reference to the "Tales of the City"! I love that series that I was able to watch again on NetFlix, although, one part was missing.
Author's Response:
I do love a good cliffhangert, though! ;) So much to think about and theorize about! And I loved TotC too, so that's why I just had to throw it in there. Although I couldn't share any details because I didn't want there to be spoilers.

What is Justin trying to hide and why?
Author's Response:
Justin is suffering from depression...and the shame and stigma that comes along with it.

I'm thinking someone needs to go get Justin because something is very wrong if he's not answering his phone.

Great chpater. Glad that Brian's injury was not as bad as it could have been. I wish Brian wasn't so damn stubborn and leary of asking Jsutin what is wrong. Justin seems to be in his own little world and Brian is so wrapped up in protecting him that he is making excuses for Justin's iffy behavior. Hopefully he will wake up or at least push back on Justin.
Author's Response:
Thanks so much! :) Brian got lucky, for sure! Things could have been a lot worse. I think Brian is gunshy when it comes to asking Justin what is wrong, because he's so afraid that the problem is him -- those insecurities cropping back up again that have been "his" since childhood, that he normally hides behind his walls. Brian is protecting himself here, subconsciously...afraid of the truth.

My rating disappeared again. Don't know why that happens.

Oh no, cliffhanger!!!!!! Great chapter, but it is killing me what is wrong with Justin. Hope that comes out soon. Wonderful writing.
Author's Response:
Thanks so much! Justin's symptoms are all adding up to depression, and the stigma associated with it is adding complication to his situation.

Rob is great taking care of Brian. I jsut hope Justin is not a giant mess when he comes home. The perfect ( or imprfect as the case may be) is that he is also having major issues as well.
Author's Response:
Glad you enjoyed that little hurt/comfort interlude between friends! ;) The dynamic with Justin is definitely going to be an interesting one when he finally gets home, because you're right, he is having some major issues himself, and now he's about to be put into the caretaker role.

Great chapter. They just can't ever get a break (no pun intended). And, now when Brian needs him just where is Justin? Terrific writing.
Author's Response:
I figure, without drama, there is no story...several different aspects of drama here, and that keeps me happy as the writer. Hopefully it keeps you guys happy as readers too! :)

One good thing is that Brian will be forced to rest and take care of himself.
Author's Response:
He will...and that's often the only way one can get him to do it, is if he has no choice. Otherwise, he's too much of a workaholic and a perfectionist. ;)

Okay, Justin is not doing well and now Brian has taken a turn for the worse. If Justin is having difficulty with his art, that I understand, But Brian? Sounds like hospitalization is in order.
Author's Response:
Brian's body is in a lot of pain that he isn't feeling, so his system is having a different sort of reaction to it since it isn't being resolved. Hopefully the next chapter makes things a little clearer on what is happening with Brian!

Thanks for reading ;)

Oh no, they just never get a break, but it would be a boring story if they did. Great chapter. Fantastic writing as always.

What did Brian break? I hope Bob will drag him to the hospital so he can have a scan to see what kind of injury he has. So stubborn! As if his previous scares didn't teach him to be careful with his body.
Author's Response:
Not to worry, Rob is all about making sure Brian is okay and that he does what needs to be done. He also has some inside information as to the potential seriousness of the situation. As for being careful...stuff happens sometimes no matter how careful we are. :)

I love the tenderness and love that comes across the page as you describe the two of them making love. Michael is a good friend and I hope Brian figures out what is wrong soon. As much as I hate the buildup, I do love a good story.
Author's Response:
Thank you! I really enjoy writing the physical components of their relationship, as well as portraying Brian as a sexual being even though he has a spinal cord injury. So glad your'e still enjoying the story! Lots of buildup and complication in this one as Brian looks back at everything he feels he should have seen.

Such a turnmoil must be painful; hot then cold, Justin is perfecting the mood swings.
How will Brian be able to ever speak his fears to Justin? It's quite impossible to talk about something that isn't visible anymore. Justin might dismiss Brian's concerns as fast as he can.
Author's Response:
There is a lot of chaos in Justin's brain right now, and they both have a lot of fears that aren't being shared, but talking about them won't be simple...

Justin situation is really worrying.
Michael is showing a mature thinking, which is always refreshing. Great job!

Thanks! I love writing a more mature Michael who is a supportive friend...and I would hope that at 48, he and Brian have both settled into that role for good. ;)
