Oooh, I loved this. ;) This is so Brian... he gets exasperated and just blurts out the truth, lol. Suggestions for asking Justin... how about love, birthdays, living in another state, coming out, school, art, recovery... so many things.. :)

I can't wait for them to see each other again! I hope Justin's memory is sparked by the meeting.

Awwww... I loved that Brian and Justin are talking again. What a mess! Did Michael or Lindsay hit Justin over the head and make him forget?

Oh wow... Brian did well to wear the same soaps and cologne he did when Justin was there 5 years before. The two mothers barging in was pretty entertaining. Even Joan doesn't want to deal with Debbie, Lol. Looking forward to the next chapter.

Summary:

Brian decides to throw a Thanksgiving Day Dinner Party for all his loved ones three years after Justin has moved to New York City, but this is no ordinary party because Brian knows a number of secrets that will change everyones lives this Thanksgiving Day.

Some might call this a wee bit sappy, but personally I love a happy ending for everyone.  I'm very glad that you  enjoyed my story.  Thank you so much for commenting.  Warm hugs, Grammy

I loved this, and Justin does need it verbalized even if he already knows. <3



Author's Response:

I am so  happy to hear from you, Gotb.  This was one of my more light-hearted stories and I'm glad you enjoyed it.  Although actions do speak louder than words, it is always nice to hear loving words from someone who means the world to you.  Thank you so much for your comments.  Hugs, Grammy

This is the story of Justin's journey. Time frame fluctuates between three distinct time periods in his life: his childhood, his years in New York City, and the present.

This story is now complete.

What an amazing and rich story. I enjoyed every word. <3

(Spoiler below if someone sees this review before finishing the story.)

How fitting that Hobbs would have to gaze at the result of his crime (and pay $100K for it) for years on. Wonder if his wife knew who Justin is or the real meaning of the painting...



Author's Response: Thank you so much. In my mind, Hobbs's wife has no idea who Justin is or the real meaning of the painting. Which is fodder for the sequel . . .

Summary:

Justin meets Brian at a show and walks away with a present.

Lorie, thanks for continuing to be my beta.

Wowza, well we all know that Brian is Gus' father, so it will be interesting to find out in this universe why he doesn't know.



Author's Response:

 

gotb30,

It will become clear why Brian doesn't know.

Lol, poor Brian (and Gus). I liked the scene with Debbie and Carl at the diner. It's a mystery why Lindsay didn't bring Gus herself to the Loft, but hopefully it will come to light soon. I'm enjoying this story.



Author's Response:

 

gotb30,

Glad you are enjoying the story.

Lindsay has very different priorities in this story.

Lol, omg, Brian giving a birds and the bees talk. At least he didn't ask in the store. :D He's having a lot of "fun" cleaning up after the little tyke.



Author's Response:

 

gotb30,

There will be some drama in this story but it is also a lot of fun.

Gus will continue to grow on Brian.

Summary:

stories/47/images/For_Better_-_border_-_resized.png

Yes, another what happened after Justin left for New York tale.

How does Brian deal with being alone again? Our boys have gone their separate ways, do things continue for better...or worse. Things are not going good for Brian since Justin, and the girls left the Pitts. The cancer is back, and his apartment burns down and that isn't even the worst!

Big thanks to Starfire64 and loahisi for being wonderful betas

Don't we all wonder about Michael, the Best Friend.  I just never saw him as that.  Thanks for the lovely review.

Reviewer: gotb30 Signed half-star
Date: Aug 28, 2017 Title: Chapter 2: Chapter 2

LOL, awww, Brian was appreciative but he is a clothes horse, after all. :) I'm sad to hear that the loft is gone but he can rebuild with the insurance money. I can just imagine Brian in the green suit, with a black tie maybe? Yum...



Author's Response:

I'm afraid you haven't taken into account the best friend.  You'll see in the next chapter.

Reviewer: gotb30 Signed half-star
Date: Aug 28, 2017 Title: Chapter 3: Chapter 3

Oh wow... that Michael... he means well but he sure riles everyone up.  I'm glad that Brian wasn't charged but it doesn't sound like his health is too good at the moment. I'm glad this story is completed so I can find out what happened! :)



Author's Response:

But does Michael mean well?  At least you won't have to wait to find out.

I hope they are.  Personally I love them for being on team Brian.

Reviewer: gotb30 Signed half-star

I love how Emmett and Ted are looking out for Brian, especially since Mikey is acting so strangely... actually, he's mostly in character. Yikes! *rushing off to read the next chapter*



Author's Response:

To me Mikey seemed in character so I'm happy you think so too.

Reviewer: gotb30 Signed half-star
Date: Aug 28, 2017 Title: Chapter 6: Chapter 6

I love the firehouse for the new home! And that MM has got to be Mysterious Marilyn! Lol 😆 And what is up with Mikey!?!



Author's Response:

I thought it might be a good idea.  Who else but MM would know that Brian would buy a firehouse?  I should have but an anti-Mikey warning but I couldn't figure out how.

Summary:

Justin has to pick a surrogate in order to produce an heir and carry on the family line. The problem is, Craig isn't gonna be very happy with the one Justin actually does pick. Sort of post apocalyptic. Sort of weird. Totally AU. You’ll like it anyway, even if you won’t admit you like it.
