1. Chapter 1 - Strolling Down The Avenue by 4depthoflove [Reviews - 6] 
(1372 words)
First story in quite a while - feels really good to be posting. Hope you enjoy. Either way, let me know. Thank you.
2. Chapter 2 - On the Streets of New York City by 4depthoflove [Reviews - 3] (1926 words)
Yes, I know that I have taken great liberties with one of New York's most famous streets. Please forgive me. I also don't have a clue how the real world works with artist's representation. I hope you can overlook these small details, and recognize that sometimes we stretch the truth to provide plot devices that make a story work.
Special thanks once again to my friends in the LLLC - especially Tag and Lorie for your invaluable support, and brilliant editing...you make me always want to be a better writer - and a better friend!
3. Chapter 3 - That Was Then...This Is Now by 4depthoflove [Reviews - 3] (2616 words)
Grab your tissues folks - if I cried writing it - you might need them as we take a look into Brian's thoughts and inner turmoil - as one very smart lady told me...it makes us want to slap him...and then hug him!
Still - we can't get to the good until we travel through the bad.
Once again - a great big thank you to Lorie and Tag for their invaluable editing...
And to all the wonderful ladies of the LLLC - for their constant support and encouragement.
4. Chapter 4 - Two Ships...Passing by 4depthoflove [Reviews - 2] (1725 words)
Just a little more detail…a little more plot…and a tease…
I’m not really cruel…but it will all be worth it soon, I promise!
Huge shout out to Chelle and Lorie - you always take what I write, edit and enhance, and make it better in the process!

6. Chapter 6 - It's Only Time by 4depthoflove [Reviews - 3] (1787 words)
The meeting we've all been waiting for...
7. Chapter 7 - Flame Rekindled by 4depthoflove [Reviews - 2] (3278 words)
I am so terribly sorry that it took so long for me to get this chapter written. I don’t know when I have ever struggled over a scene like this. On top of that, with so little time to write to begin with, the holidays only make it more so – and I don’t ever want the people in my life to be able to say ‘if only she had made time for us.’ So…here goes…hopefully a treat for your patience…
…but don’t put that tissue box too far away quite yet…
8. Chapter 8 - To Have Loved and Lost by 4depthoflove [Reviews - 4] (3705 words)
Unfortunately - more angst for Brian. This story has become so much more intense than my original outline - taking off in a direction all its own. I have no doubt, though, that they will come out better and stronger than ever...and the pain is part of it.
Special thanks as always to the ladies of the LLLC. Your constant support and encouragement means the world to me! And of course, to Tagsit, who once again has taken time out of her own busy schedule to catch all my fumbles, and make me seem better than I am.
To those who have left reviews and comments - Thank You! It inspires me to keep going.
9. Chapter 9 - Everything Old Is… New Again by 4depthoflove [Reviews - 6] (2173 words)
As Justin attempts to come to grips with the events of the past few days, Brian gets advice from an unexpected source that gives him a new perspective on what he needs to do.
10. Chapter 10 - Be The Change You Want To See by 4depthoflove [Reviews - 3] (2191 words)
Brian shows Justin that he can be every bit as devilishly endearing and determinedly annoying as the twink he met under a streetlight oh so very long ago. A little more angst, so we can get these two back on the path to their true destiny…together.
Sorry, lots of dialogue in this one. Justin has something that just need to be said.
11. Chapter 11 - Preposterously Quixotic by 4depthoflove [Reviews - 3] (2286 words)
Thought with how long this story has taken me to write, along with the amount of angst we’ve had up to this point, that I would give you something fun to move the boys along…back towards each other.
