Again.....why is he making Gus stay there when he clearly knows he's unhappy not to mention that the Peterson environment is not a healthy one at all.

Just one question....why? Why would Brian leave Gus somewhere he doesn't want to be? Not to mention the cold callous statement about him being too selfish to have a kid living with him....I just can't with that because I don't see Brian ever acting that way toward Gus or considering his feelings. I'm really disappointed 

Hi again! 15 Fahrenheit - that's cold! Here in Berlin, we've around 9 - 10 degrees during the day this weekend. That's around 50 Fahrenheit. And also in the night, it's still not under 0 degrees. Unfortunately, there has been little snow here in recent years - I like snow better than rainy cold weather.

Oh goodness, I was so relieved that Brian wasn't hurt worse. Meanwhile, I no longer think that this life-changing injury will happen to Brian - and hopefully not to Justin... I'll just have to be patient ... :-)

I'm glad that Nathan told his father the truth. He can really be glad that he has a father who stands up for him. I really hope that Brad just disappears and doesn't cause any further trouble. But he was so angry ....

The situation with Gus makes me sad. If he learns that he should go to Lindsay's parents, he will certainly freak out. And Brian... On the one hand, the sudden daily responsibility for this pubescent teenager is all too much for him (and I can understand it :-) as I said, one of my sons is 12 years old and puberty just started...), on the other hand, he defends Gus immediately if someone else criticizes him (like Michael). I am very curious how things will continue here! So, have a nice Sunday!

good one

Great story so far. Don't like the brad character,  nasty man and i have a feeling he's done something to the car, maybe to the brakes? Also im thinking nathan helps gus. 

Id like gus and nathan to become friends and i think sending gus to Lindsey parents is a big mistake. 

Hi! I come from Germany and we have something similar, called „Erntedankfest", but that isn‘t such an official holiday and therefore we have no free days. And it was already in September. It's also more of a religious fest and since I'm neither educated so religiously nor do I believe in God, it's not a day that I celebrate especially. But I know it's much more celebrated in America ... So I wish you a wonderful Thanksgiving and still hope that there‘ll be an update soon because I‘m so curious about the further developments :-) Warmest regards!

Hi again! Yeah, I agree, the end of S5 was just terrible. And sometimes I think, maybe it‘s good that there wasn‘t another season. Who knows what they would have done to Brian and Justin and their relationship… I'm not sure what they wanted to tell us with this ending, but I agree with you here too and even if I want to persuade myself that they would have stayed together, they gave us a different impression. Also with this last scene at Babylon. Where was Justin? His presence alone would have made a difference to me. So it seems as everything would go on or start over all again. Pathetic! And I really love the show, but these last scenes seem so careless. My goodness, they wanted to get married! And after all that they went through together and how far they had come, they just part with a few words which leave everything in the open… What the fuck! I wrote it in another review, I really would have liked to see some kind of commitment, not necessarily a marriage, but maybe a private arrangement between the two, or just that they wear their rings. It would have made a difference. Why didn‘t they let us believe, that they would try to live a long-distance relationship for some time. What are 600 kilometers? I also wrote this in another review… I think I hardly know a series or a movie, whose end has made me so dissatisfied ... And I think, apart from them being the most beautiful, hottest and cutest couple in the whole movie history, that's one of the reasons why I‘m so addicted to them :-)

About your insecurities regardings the 15th chapter… I really think you‘ve done a great job with their talk. Maybe they could have talked more about Nathan ... At first Brian only says Nathan is young, hot and has a cute ass... Later he says he has had his reasons to break the rules ... But what are these reasons? Because he also wanted to break the rules? Because he was dissatisfied with Justin‘s behavior? Because Nathan fascinated him and reminded him of a younger Justin? I understood "your" Brian as if it were a bit of everything, or what were your motivations behind his acting?

In contrast, I find this chapter a bit confusing now. You rush through this chapter and many things are addressed, but then end up in the open. I‘ve noticed this before for example when Brian and Nathan planned to get together for dinner – and it never happened but there was no reason given why (in this case I was very very glad ;-) ). Or Nathan‘s father.. He was so suspicious of Brad ... Did he still try to find out something here? And we never got to know what Danny and Stu planned to do with Nathan at Babylon? And I didn‘t get it that Michael didn‘t asked about JR??? Don‘t get me wrong, by now I really like your story a lot. You write well and it is very exciting, but sometimes I just miss a few details or explanations...

Josh seems to really like Nathan and Nathan should be careful how he treats him… That was the second time he used him and told him to fuck off… I‘m also glad, Nathan discovered the truth about the incident at Babylon. Now hopefully Justin doesn‘t fall for this intrigue and soon realizes the true character of his so-called friends…. And I really hope that sometime soon Nathan gets over his crush on Brian and developes a friendship with Brian and Justin. Will there be a clarifying conversation between Nathan and Brian in this regard? On the other hand, at the moment Brian has other worries about this accident and Gus! So, hope you‘ll update soon! Have a nice weekend and warmest regards!

Hi again! Finally! The much needed talk! And also the talk we readers needed to understand some things way better.

So, Brian: I‘m glad that he finally told Justin what disturbed him. As you wrote „What I say and how I feel are completely different...“ - That‘s not only not fair because how should Justin know, and it would have certainly over time negatively impacted on their relationship or even destroyed it. That was something I so disliked about the show – often they just didn‘t talk!

Justin: I've never seen Justin that way, that fame matters so much to him. I like this idea of him, being sure to be an artist, painting primarily for himself, who doesn't care so much about the opinion of others or fame, to whom other things are far more important than a career, as such to be with Brian or having a family with him. But I‘ve to admit, that was something I also didn‘t like in the show - it seems to be easy for him to leave everything behind and I never understood why he left everything else behind to go to New York just because of this one article. But there were many things I didn‘t like in the show, mainly in S5. So, I can accept and understand your version - it's one of many possibilities. So, another affair – just great :-( But hopefully he learned his lesson and grateful he didn‘t lose Brian because of this. One question, I‘m not sure if this is just a phrase or if you meant it that way… „getting your ass fucked raw“ - he didn‘t let this guy fucked him raw, did he? He wouldn‘t do something so stupid, dangerous and irresponsible, would he? In my opinion you‘ve done a great job in the way you let them talk. I imagine it to be difficult to put the most important things into a few sentences and I think you‘ve mentioned the most important things… They talked about Nathan, Justin's affair in NY, about the things that bother Brian, but also about their love for each other and how they can imagine a future together and about the things they have to change. I just still hope that this incident in Babylon won‘t throw them back…

So, the lodger will be Gus! But how terrible, there was an accident... Then you meant with the death Lindsay or Mel or even both ... I'm very curious. Again, you‘ve surprised me very much ... I really thought that death had something to do with Nathan and/or Brad…

Uff, another mini-chapter! :-) Until soon, warmest regards!

Hi again! Are you feeling better?

Oh no, here we have the betrayal, haven‘t we? They are some friends… Hopefully, that doesn‘t have too bad effects on the relationship between Justin and Brian! Shit, hope Nathan doesn‘t run straight to Brian now to tell him… I just hope that he confronts Justin directly with this, so that Justin gets the chance to correct that and on the other hand learns what his so-called friends are doing behind his back. Why are they trying to make Justin so suspicious of Brian and Nathan? I still feel sad for Justin… He‘s so trying to find some time for Brian and him to spend together and he‘s also trying to be friendly with Nathan although in my opinion he would have reasons to dislike him. Nathan - I really like him less and less. He uses Josh to meet Brian in Babylon, then treats Josh so dismissively and thinks that Justin likes him, although Nathan tries to get closer to Brian… The strange thing is, I would really like to see Justin and Nathan becoming friends. I don‘t know where this is coming from… Maybe Nathan could fall in love with some other guy… Josh for example ;-)

Oh man, you‘re killing me… you‘re chapters are just too short ;-) But in the next chapter, there will be the much needed conversation! I can only hope that it‘ll be a good and productive one! Have a nice weekend!

Brian better not get hurt because of Nathan and have to snap at Justin

Hi again! Spooky! Does such things often happen with your brother? :-)

Oh goodness, more hints… And you also got me more and more confused… :-) Great! What lodger? Hm, am I now happy, that it won‘t be Nathan? I‘m afraid, it has something to do wtih the guy you mentioned. I just re-read this part again (the phonecall between Justin and his mother). If I understood it right, something happened in New York with someone else, but fortunately Brian seems to already know about this. And he also seems to know about the blackmailing, but Justin hasn't told him that this guy also has been in San Francisco, has he?

So, now this chapter. I really thought the scene at the loft would be more dramatic. Did Justin know who Nathan was or didn‘t he realize it until Brian told him the next morning? I really liked Brian's honesty and that he finally told Justin about Nathan, so I really hope that the lies regarding Nathan and the secret meetings between Brian and Nathan are over (You know this „when is Justin at work, so I can meet with Nathan“ was so not my vision of Brian). But I also wondered a little bit that there were no further questions. Justin knows that Brian has broken the rules because of or with Nathan and he didn‘t questioned it? Won‘t they talk about it? Hm, I hope you understand what I mean. Your story got me more and more captivated and I think you can actually write quite well, but in some places I miss the details or the sensitivity (sorry, I’m not a native english speaker and therefore sometimes it's very hard for me to express what I mean). I'm just not getting your Justin. Sometimes he seemed almost calculating in earlier chapters. Is his concern and his kindness to Nathan real or only played? I hope it’s genuine, because that would be more akin to my picture of Justin. And again, I just got the feeling, Justin wants to be alone with Brian, spend some time just with him. And I think an honest conversation would be absolutely necessary, but unfortunately, again, it seems not to happen. Another cliffhanger! I hope you‘ll update soon!

Hi again! Another mini-chapter :-) I hope you don’t mind!

While writing a review to another story, I suddenly realized that maybe I was wrong. Like often before, I was thinking about what a possible sequel to the TV show might have looked like and what they would have done to the characters of Brian and Justin. Unfortunately, series are always filled with excitement, cheating, betrayal and breaking-ups. Well, that’s surely not what I would hope for them. And I still can’t imagine that Justin would have developed as you portray him (at least at the beginning), but what the fuck. It's one of many options… But no matter, I hope you understand how I mean that. Yeah, I care deeply for them and I don’t want to see them hurt or mistreated, but maybe I was way too overprotective. This is your story to tell...

As you see, I couldn’t stop myself and continued to read… I don’t know what it’s about your story, because - although at the beginning it annoyed me to hell and I’ve already named all the reasons :-) – I find it nevertheless exciting and interesting. In this last chapter I even liked your Justin way better. He no longer appears like this smug man, he seems more thoughtful and apparently there is a mystery or a problem in his past years - who is "he"? Hopefully he turns back a little bit more into the amazing and sensitive Justin we’ve known from the series.

And I also liked Brian way better. From the talk between Brian and Debbie I get the feeling that his feelings regarding Nathan change. At the beginning he was just horny, then I was afraid he would start an affair behind Justin’s back falling for this guy. But now it feels more like he realizes that the fascination Nathan awakes in him has more to do with the fact that Nathan reminds him of a younger Justin and maybe this awakens a sort of nostalgia in him. So, maybe this dalliance with Nathan doesn’t turn into a sexual affair (and that’s what Brian also told Debbie, isn’t it?), but rather some kind of friendship. That’s at least what I hope, And I also hope so much that Brian opens up to Justin as soon as possible and talks to him. That he tells him about his dissatisfaction, how they live their lives right now. On the other hand… This isn’t the end of the story and I’m afraid this wasn’t the worst…
