I loved:
"the dog doing his thing"
"Unbidden was the thought; kind of acts like Justin after a good fucking."
"Yep, eats like Justin too"
So funny...!

IKR? I had that rolling in my head while I was trying to sleep one night months ago. That part was written long before the previous three chapters.
I had a hard time not laughing while I was writing it.

I want Jane's treatise on human sexuality and labels embroidered on a t-shirt, taught in grade-school, and written across the fucking sky! You just put perfectly into words everything I have ever felt. So good. I can't tell you how much I am enjoying this story. Seeing Brian's interactions with so much female energy is really exciting and different. I honestly wouldn't think that I would like it, because let's face it, we all love Brian surrounded by men; but you have managed to really make it work, both with canon characters like Cynthia and Jennifer, and your originals, like Jane, who is amazing. Really looking forward to seeing where this story goes. Great job.
Author's Response:
I like Jane's treatise too. I think this is the first moment of true respect between Brian and Jane. I feel Brian's philosophy up to this point is similar, but she expanded on it and he realized how very well it fit the inner core, or seed, of his relationship with those around him. Most notably, Justin, Cynthia, Lindsay, and ultimately Jane herself.
I am glad you are enjoyiing yourself. The subject matter can be harsh and difficult at times, hence why I leave nuggets of humor. "Laughter through tears is my favorite emotion."
Thank you so much for the beautiful compliment.
We still have a long way to go, I hope you stick around.

Melanie's smart enough to catch on to Lindsay. A clean house, a groomed Lindsay and the kids on a sleepover. Please! Love Aunt Lulah, she's ready for anything with her handy handgun. Good thing it wasn't needed. Have to admit I was wondering what the lady was up to, especially when the dog sniffed both Brian and Jane's butts. Both of them squeaking. LOL, puppies a sure cure for what ails ya. Love how Lulah gave Brian the responsibility for the dogs. My mother says the dog across the street looks like a bear so I'm assuming that it's a Newfoundland. I couldn't for the life of me figure out the breed. Thank you.
Jen's talk with Deb is proving very informative. I'm glad Deb feels guilty about telling St. Joan about Brian's cancer. So she should. If only Lindsay felt the same for her part in Justin going off to New York. But then that would be another story.
That Gus should be introduced to Everett. He's in the same league. Lindsay's pulling the same shit she did with Brian. I kinda wish Mel would say no just on general principle. Being manipulated like that is not good.
Justin's plans to save the world have to be saved until he gets to the bank. I'm assuming his account has enough in it so he can do whatever he wants.
Back to the cops. Who's the dead body and why do I feel that it related to Brian's case? Don't tell me it's the Russian. I thought he was locked up.
Hetro sex. Did you put a warning on this chapter? Before I forget what was it that got Everett's attention before Cynthia did?
Wow, I love the way Jan condensed Lindsay's hold on Brian. She's got great insight. Love her background story. That was some story.
Author's Response:
I always thought Linds was fairly transparent in the series and Mel seems to agree with me in my story. Lulah is a card as we say where I am from. The Brian/Jane/Bear/Puppies scene was another bit I had fun with. I woke up in the middle of the night with it Playing on re run in the back of my head and had to fit it in somewhere. Lulah knows depression can sometimes be fought by having responsibility for a pet. Brian would never take on a pet, but he might do a "favor"
I did a ridiculous amount of research on dogs and their attributes before writing these last chapters. Bear is a mix and if you look each breed up on the internet, then roll them together, read the chapter again. You will get a clearer picture of just how massive and scary and resourceful he really is.
Maybe Gus will work for Everett when he is all grown up?
The DB is most definitely the assassin that dumped Brian in the ocean, he was out on bond, remember the scene with Harry on the steps? Looks like someone got to him before the cops "tail" could find out anything useful.
Hetero sex, yeah I know we are a QAF fandom, but Cynthia deserves to get laid too and no, I do not warning each chapter only the whole story. Everett was on the phone finding out the assassin was dead.
Jane is awesome, her superpowers are mighty, and she has her own demons.
