I'M still trying to catchup to all the stories I missed when I wasn't able to access the site. Anyway, saw today you had finished this, and read it right away. I was happy to see it completed, and got to read all about the horrific Mr Hobbs, his actions and the results for those actions. Yes, I truly believe he will have no parents, relatives or friends let when he does get out of prison. It would be great to see a one-shot in this universe showing a fateful day in Hobbs' world inside prison. I have a feeling the gay men inside those walls will not be too kind or gentle to our resident gay basher, and the attempted murder on two gay men.
I was a little disappointed that Michael seemed to escape getting any backlash from Brian, either regarding the sketches or the way he had treated Justin. (Here's my anti-Michael coming into play.) Earlier in a response to a review I left regading the sketches, you had stated: I can promise you that we haven't heard the last about that. It will come up again in the future. Only it never did.
You had also mentioned that there would be no Ben: This story won't bring Ben into the picture, so it will simply stand that Michael decides to stay in Pittsburgh. Only he was brought in. So somewhere between leaving responses to my reviews, you changed your mind. But, that is YOUR perogative. It's your story, and maybe those directions didn't work.
All that said, I LOVED the story. I wish there were more out there with this scenario, as it's a great synopsis.
Thank you for writing and sharing this wonderful story with us.

Author's Response:
I was so excited this morning to wake and find your comments on my story, Cathy. I have missed you greatly. Your comments are always so thought-provoking and interesting. Let me first thank you for catching up and reading my finished story. There was a time when real life was kicking my butt so hard that I wasn't so sure I'd ever complete it, but thankfully things improved and I did. I am so glad that you enjoyed reading it.
Now on to specific comments. One of the things I love most about writing my stories is making Hobbs pay for his crimes. I loved that final scene with him cowering before Justin in the show, but I always wanted him to suffer far more than that one embarrassing moment of fear. Glad you approved of his ending in this story.
I'm sorry about Michael, but that's my NOT anti-Michael feelings coming into play. LOL! I know I am a rare creature who seldom felt badly about Michael or even Lindsay. (I say seldom, not never.) I felt the same way about them that Brian did. He might get mad at them, but he also loved them, so I can't find it in my heart to hate them. Folks also often forget the many good things they did for both Brian and Justin. As for the sketches coming up again, they did in Chapter 19, three chapters later. At least that was what I was referring to when I wrote that response for you. I'm sorry if you feel I misled you on that.
As for my Ben response, you are right about that. There were often long gaps between chapters and I did change my mind about not including Ben. I wanted to give Michael a reason to forget all about Dr. Dave, a character that I truly did hate. It also gave me the chance to distract Michael from being involved as much with Brian and his recovery, leaving the door wide open for Justin to be front and center as Brian learns more of the past year.
And now, let me thank you one last time for always being such a great supporter of this story. It was one that I enjoyed writing very much. Huge warm hugs, Grammy

Wonderful ending to a wonderful story. Fantastic writing. Thank you a happy ending and for finishing it. So many writers have just left their work unfinished because of RL or health issues. Hope all is well with you and that you are thinking of something new to write. 10+
Author's Response:
Thank you so much for all the wonderful support you have given this story throughout the lengthy time it has taken to finish it, Mamab. It means a lot to me, especially that you have enjoyed it. The one thing you can always count on me for is a happy ending. LOL! I do have just 2 more stories that I had to abandon some time back, and I hope to finish those too someday.
As for the near future, I do have another short story already in the works. It's called 'The Great New York City Misadventure'. I hope to have it completed and posted very shortly. I hope you will join me then too. Then, after that, I am thinking of writing a sequel to 'The Letters' which I am calling 'Finding Ginny'. So many stories are still running through my mind even after all these years. Warmest hugs, Grammy

I had a lot of fun re-watching that iconic Pride Day Parade from the show as inspiration for this chapter, Mamab. I am very happy that you were able to picture what I saw too. I can promise you that the end is in sight. I'm almost halfway through the final chapter now. I can't let things hang as they are now. I do hope you will be pleased with the ending.

Pride was wonderful, but Hobbs plans put a plight on what was a great day.
Author's Response:
What a dirty rotten SOB, that Hobbs is. The real question is, will he finally face true justice for his evil deeds and thoughts? The answer is right around the corner. I look forward to your thoughts on how this all ends, YumYum. Thank you so much for all your support. Huge hugs, Grammy

Something tells me that Brian remembers Ben. Hobbs won't have to worry about his future because he's going to spend it in jail.
Author's Response:
Hobbs is soon to see the results of his hateful attitude, I can promise you that. And as for Brian and Ben, that part of this chapter is a nod to what actually happened in the series. I found it very amusing that Brian and Ben had connected long before Ben met Michael, and the scenes in the show when Michael was so disturbed by it that he imagined Brian in bed with he and Ben were actually funny to watch. Thank you so much for your great reviews, YumYum. They are much appreciated. Huge hugs, Grammy

I do like my cliffhangers, don't I? LOL! And I don't like to make our boys suffer too badly, so you know where all of Hobbs plans will lead. The ride is coming to an end very shortly, and I hope you will enjoy the rest of it. Thank you so much for all your lovely comments, Mamab. Huge hugs, Grammy

Oh, wow, just wonderful. Could see every movement of the dance which I still think is one of the most romantic things ever shown on television. Of course, I cried just thinking of it. You took the story to a new level with the way you have written this story. Fantastic writing. Can't wait to see where you go next.
Author's Response:
Such beautiful comments, Mamab. Thank you so much. That dance is one of my all-time favorite scenes, because it left no doubt as to how Brian was feeling about Justin. The looks in their eyes said it all. I loved picturing the scene in my mind's eye as I wrote about the video. And now that Brian fully realizes how he felt that night, he is able to come to terms with how he is feeling now. It will change everything for the couple. They'll need their connection as the storm gathers around them. More coming up soon. Huge hugs, Grammy

I've always felt that someone must have recorded the proceedings. The final piece to the puzzle as it were. Can't wait to see what happens next.
Author's Response:
Yes, I got to thinking about how it is common for things like weddings and Proms to be recorded. So it stood to reason that Justin's prom would be too. Actually, I think it would have been interesting if the series had explored this possibility. And then I realized how much different things would be if there was visual proof of how they felt towards each other, which was so clear to all of us during that dance. I'm so glad you enjoyed this chapter, and thank you for all your comments. Huge hugs, Grammy

I know how you feel, Mamab. I used to go crazy when a chapter ended with a cliffhanger, but then I realized how excited it made me feel in anticipation for the next chapter.

Date: Nov 20, 2018 4:53 am Title: The First Breakthrough
It was so wonderful to see an update on this story when I turned my computer on this evening. Brian sure had a wicked morning. I figured the dream was the sounding of the bat as it struck him, even before he realized that was what he was hearing. I'm not really surprised he went to Justin first, after all, justin was there when it happened, and it was Justin's voice he heard call out.
Yes, Brian played the brat this time. Leading Justin on, and still withholding information. But it is nice to see Brian wanting to be with Justin, after such a short time after 'meeting' him.
I have to wonder if you will give Brian his whole memory back. As time goes on, I'm beginning to think it might be best, if some things are left forgotten. I know I should censor my 'Michael Feelings' around you, but I can't help to say how the little prick strikes again. He was, oh-so-quick to tell Brian about the scarfing incident, but has yet not told Brian about the 30th birthday party Brian gave Michael, and how Michael subsequently wanted nothing to do with Brian. If it wasn't for the persistent Twink, Michael probably still wouldn't be talking to Brian.
Chris Hobbs has been suspiciously quiet these last few chapters. I can't help but wonder what the little homophobe has going on in his head, and what plans he's making for his 'get even' campaign.
Hugs ~ Cathy
Author's Response:
Brian's connection to Justin is growing stronger each and every day, so naturally he felt that he was the one that needed to know about this breakthrough. Together they will continue to explore their connection, which may bring back even more of the past little by little.
There had always been a bit of teasing between Brian and Justin once they became close, so I wanted to show that the mischievous playful camaraderie was still there.
Now Cathy, never censor anything with me. Even when I'm not on the same page with someone, I always respect their opinion, especially with someone as thoughtful as you are. Strangely, when you look back on it there were a number of times when Michael helped out Justin with Brian (such as during the cancer situation when Brian kicked Justin out), and then there were a number of times when Justin helped Michael out (such as the situation you mentioned with the disastrous birthday party). The way I see it, both men love Brian enough to put aside their differences if it was to help Brian in the end. Maybe that's why I never felt so much animosity for Michael. I completely understood his devotion and love for Brian (even if it was a tad too obsessive at times). In a way, we are all obsessed with Brian, but who can blame us? LOL!
Ah yes, Chris Hobbs... oh, he is still around. And he will figure prominently in future chapters. But for now, Brian and Justin need to grow even closer. Hobbs is not uppermost on their minds for the moment. More coming soon. Thank you again for always giving me such wonderful comments, Cathy. Huge hugs, Grammy

Great chapter. A breakthrough for Brian is great. Can't wait for where you take them next. Terrific writing. Hope you have a nice Thanksgiving.
Author's Response:
The timing was right for Brian to finally remember something. He is now feeling many of the things he felt with Justin the first time around, which is opening his mind up to the past... slowly, but surely. The couple will explore that connection to each other in the coming chapter. Thank you so much for your comments, Mamab. I hope you have a great Thanksgiving day too. Huge hugs, Grammy
