First new story I read in a very long time: I loved it!!!
You captured them perfectly and this phase in their relationship is crucial as they are both bare of almost everything.
My favorite part is: "the continuing curiosity that looked into me instead of at me".
Author's Response:
That's one of my favorite parts, too. Thanks for your enthusiastic review!

Sigh.
You write them so perfectly.
Author's Response:
Some people call it "Ridiculouly Romantic." I'm probably a good interpreter of Brian...and struggle a bit with writing Justin. Thanks for your Review!

Did anyone notice? Justin's list is written in the present tense...while it was happening, I suppose. Brian's list is in the past tense...and he leaves-out the words "I love..." It's just a small writing trick, but it adds to the sadness.

Oh, so beautiful - ridiculous romantic ;-) - I love stories which state that Brian did recognize that Justin was different right away. "A pre-Raphaelite angel in the presence of God" - "the continuing curiosity that looked into me instead of at me" - I love how you describe Brian's thoughts... "By the third time, I didn't know what to expect" - that must have been a first for Brian :-) Yeah, in some things, the pupil has taught the master a lesson! And I so love their short conversation. I really wish they would have talked a little bit more in the series. But sometimes it also wasn't necessary. Your story fits that scene so well, that short moment in S4 when Justin says "For me it was love" - just a short sentence and the way they look at each other. That said everything! Thanks for this story!
Author's Response: If you like dialogue between Brian and Justin, you might like what's coming later today or tomorrow. My latest story "Should Auld Acquaintance Be Forgot"...their reunion on New Year's Eve. I wrote it in two voices, Brian's and Justin's...taking turns describing the same event as the story unfolds. They both don't see/remember it the same way. The differences are subtle, but they're there. Also, the sex is as hot as it gets!

Ditto! You might like to read "Let Nothing Ye Dismay" which may be posted on Friday. It's a stream-of-consciousness piece about Brian's Christmas without Justin.

I like Brian when he is like this; even though he can't say the words, you just know how much he cares for Justin and realizes how different he is than everybody else.
Author's Response: In this story he actually says the words… but to us, not to Justin. If Justin could only read these stories, he’d understand the situation better!
