YESSSSS!!!!! And here we go with the D-R-A-M-A!!! Just read all three chapters and am extremely excited to delve into this! Strangely, I can actually see all of the events happening this way! Lindsay marrying Sam is what should have been done in the series if you ask me. Both are two sides of the same coin and I think Mel would have been much better off ditching that relationship- if it could really be called that. But I digress...

Michael and Ben foray into Stepford Fagdom has turned them into f*cking idiots. Although I am a little surprised at Ben in this fic, I can't say that there weren't times that I thought he was sanctimonious and occasionally mean (during the steroid arc). But then I suppose he would have grown even more so with Michael as a 'partner' over the years. Someone has to be the adult in the relationship and for the most part Michael was always the one who followed his lover's beliefs and mandates without question... In other words, he became their clone instead of having a mind of his own. David was a snob; Michael adopted David's snobbish ways. Ben lauds the virtues of a two parent home; Michael wants custody of Jenny because Mel and Lindsay split...what a mindless TWIT! <<insert Deep sigh here>> Michael...well everyone knows what I think of the rat bastard in ANY verse I read or write, LOL. I look forward to seeing how Deb's eviction will be handled. The fact Justin- who doesn't even really know Deb- is willing to step in and take care of her speaks volumes to the ignorant ingrate that Michael has really become.

Lindsay....already she is pissing me off with her selfishness! I can't help feeling that she is getting what she deserves in having a husband like Sam, especially in the insults department. Too many times her passive-aggressive putdowns grated on my last nerve so yeah, I will watch merrily as she gets her comeuppance. I agree with Justin that any parent who uses their kids need to be erased off the earth. And the fact that she is trying to use Gus to lure Justin to her house for her degenrate dick of a husband makes me want to slap her into next week then kick her ass well into the next millenium. Selfish guttersnipe!!

I really hope that things progress well with Brian/Gus and Justin/Jackson. It is a sticky situation that Brian and Justin will find themselves in but I do believe that Gus and Jackson will benefit from knowing each other, especially since they are/were the only offspring of their fathers and Jackson is in a new town. I can't wait for Michael to find out that the boy who named Gus is now a very successful man and once again involved in Brian's life in some way that none ever expected.

Well the battle lines are being drawn in the literary sands of this fic and I for one can't wait to watch it all unfold!!

Happy Writing and HUGS,

I love your imagination and hope to get updates on this as fast as your other stories.  I'm surprised that Justin didn't recognize Lindsay.  Has she changed that much?  Mrs Sam Auerbach, doesn't really surprise me.  Mikey making troube for Mel doesn't either.  But I'm loving it.  Ted recognizing Justin, but not being able to place him is a twist but a good one.  I can't wait to see if Emmett recognizes Justin.  I'm pretty sure Justin recognized Brian, but I won't know until later.  Gus goes to St James Academy?  Is that a good thing?

This is off to a great start! So much has already happened; can't wait to see what happens next.
