Love this story so much....it was one of the first fanfics I read. I just read it for the second time and although there are parts that break my heart and parts that make me want to scream with anger...I think it’s the most honest any writer has been about the characters...all of them and how they really feel about Brian and how badly he was treated by his “best friendsâ€.
Thanks for writing the story and hope one day you will continue it. Would love to know more about Melanie and Ron.

I had forgotten how absolutely amazing this story was, but the proof is in my return to read this again. This is the equivalent of the book you cannot put down, and several times I have been reading it still at 3am on a work day! I have no doubt at all that I will return to this again and again in the years to come, and in that regard a sequel would be awesome. A "for all time" favorite.

Just finished reading this, which I have been doing on and off for some time now. The only other time I read this was way back on MW around 2011. It left me raw and open. It left me with a resound sense of peace at the ending. Although, more information about what happened with Melanie would have been nice. I was appalled at her and Ted in this story. But I Loved It. Sure, there were areas that were hard to read. The true horrifically story started with Brian's capture, and the subsequent brutalizing of Brian. How truly amazing that Brian hung on through it all, in order to inform them of Justin's danger. Only something Brian Kinney would be able to do. Yes, definitely a hard read. And to think he was safe towards the end, only to be shot again... Just Wow!
When Brian fell in love with McClaren and pushed Justin away, I felt my heart break a little. I'm aware a lot of readers came down on you for that, and in my eyes that was wrong. It was your story to tell. But you righted that wrong by the end, and Brian and Justin came together and admitted they loved each other; had always loved each other. My heart swelled and the tears flowed.
I checked out your pinterest page. I loved the photo's btw... But I wish there would have been a way for you to put names to the photo's, so we knew who was who. Absolutely gorgeous men, all if them.
Anyway, thank you for this wonderful story. Even if bits and pieces fade over time, the story itself, remains in your heart and mind. It's one I will never forget.
It's... Timeless.

I LOVED this story! It has everything I enjoy; first it was long which gave me a chance to get to know the characters in depth as you wrote them, especially the addition of the new ones. The way you added details & nuisances, they were so vivid it was like they brought the story to life, with the different scenes playing live in my mind. The drama, the twists, the turns, and the angst at times brought me to full blown tears. For me, the story was first and foremost about LOVE, enduring love, self-discovery, forgiveness of oneself and of others. It has quickly become one of, if not my all-time favorite story! As to whether I would have liked to have seen a McClaren sequel, not really...especially if it meant more drama & trauma for our boys! I hope someday you find the inspiration to write again, especially about our boys, you have a special gift! Candy

Chapter one and I already love this - but my god, I want to shake Brian and tell him it's OKAY that he misses Justin. Sometimes this boy can be so silly *shakes head*
I am now picturing Brian doing manual labour... mmmm.
Also, loving the image of Brian on a Disney Cruise LOL.
I know I am going to fall in love with this story big time, it's been recommended to me so many times and I am so excited to get my teeth stuck in to it!
