Several months after Brian and Justin part ways, a private airing of their dirty laundry results in a night of passion that neither one can forget or stop. But what happens when Brian is tired of playing second 'fiddle' to the fiddler? And how the hell do they keep the Gurus of Gossip aka the 'family' from finding out about their affair?
Based on the plot bunny from TAG!

Yes, foreward progress! Brian and Justin could never be just f@ck buddies, Brian's too needy lol.  I agree completely that Justin needs a taste of independence.  I'm happy they talked.  Once they are settled then we can deal wth the dingbats and the fiddler.

Oh, damn, Lindsay is screwing in the car in front of Gus? She's not just dumb she's a dumb slut, correction a dumb slut who has been caught.

Still can't believe this stupid plan.  And Ethan's just as dumb as the rest.  I want DNA on the babies and a Justin/Mikey snack down (ala Crystal and Alexis from Dynsaty) immediately, lol.  Lindsay should catch vd, lol.

Happy Thanksgiving!!! (I'm pretty sure you're American :) )

All I keep saying is What?  Seriously. My mouth hung open four the last part entirely.  Please don't disappear for November we must resolve this.  Lol, 

Again, What??



Author's Response:

Hey Gretchen!

First don't worry. I've decided not to do NanoWriMo this year. In addition to my outstanding work here on KD, I am also in the middle of finishing up two novels. So I've opted not to put that kind of pressure on myself this year especially since I have to actually deal with Real Life sometimes (No one has managed to ban that yet huh? LOL). That said, everything will be resolved in due time! I know....these here folks...Girl they are going to drive me CRAZY! LOL

Happy Reading and HUGS,

Wow Mikey and Lindsay aren't even smart enough to be subtle. At the risk of sounding childish I'll say they make me sick. Why come to the hospital to whine? Seriously, how does that help Mikey?  Don't even get me started on Ethan, ugh!

My poor Sunshine.  I'm  glad he called be for he passed out and so glad the Stud followed his gut feelings.

Thanks for the updates!



Author's Response:

Good Morning Gretchen!

LOL! Don't worry about sounding like a child! Honey you should have seen me rolling my eyes and sucking my teeth while writing Michael, Lindsay and Ethan's parts....LOL I guess they inspire that kind of churlishness in all of us from time to time. 

Brian is definitely learning to follow his instincts a lot more instead of relying on someone else's opinion or view of what he should be doing. I'm glad that Mel and Ted were with him and not the Leeches of Liarsville- Michael and Lindsay. They would have done everything in their power to stop Brian from going to help Justin.

Happy Reading and HUGS,

~Nichelle

Wow this is like Dallas, Dynasty and Empire rolled into one.  When the truth comes out what a mess this is going to be.  Frankly, I have no idea how anyone (Mikey) could be so dumb to follow this plan, but idiots are born every day.

Justin is right he needs his own space.  Brian should reflect on his prior behavior because it was so wrong at points.  

Thanks for the yummy updates!!



Author's Response:

OMG!!!! How COOL is this review!! Thank you so very much! There definitely will be some serious talks and thoughts abounding between Brian and Justin. As for Michael.... yeah, I'm still looking for that one redeeming quality. 

Thanks so much Gretchen for making my day! 

Happy Reading,

Wow, they're saved. I hope they can fix this system because poor Justin, Luke and Rex deserve a life.  Bellwether deserves some alone time with some mean prison peeps. Craig too.

That was so much fun!  The ending was appropriate and I appreciate Vic explaining some things.  I'm glad Ben found happiness.  As for Lindsay well it's unfortunate that she used all her chances but I guess she's a determined bad person. I loved Brian and Justin truly thinking about each other and working toward their life together.

I thank you for allowing me to read your work.

OMG!!! Loved it! Did not expect Mikey to get hit, certainly not twice, but -- yay!!!! And having Marilyn just show up was perfection!

Let's just start with me being worried for Brian because of Mark and everybody because of Chris. I assume things will be ok because if not this would be a really long fic. I just worry something bad is coming.

As for Brian and Justin with the birthday, S2 was so heavy handed and silly. The hustler as a gift wasn't the worst but it was pretty bad.  I think a Jeep and a picnic makes up for it.

Hey those tidy whities made Justin the favorite -- it's was very Catholic School boy.  Mikey is so thick.  He just sees what he wants to see.  I have no idea how Jenny is going to be born.  



Author's Response:

Brian wants Jenny back, so he is going to make it happen.

Ok no one scream but poor Chris.  I get it, seeing someone that shakes your foundation, and seeing that they are happy while happiness illudes you.  Coming to terms with being different can take a lot -- no it shouldn't take violence and a baseball bat but... Let's hope he rides a d*ck and learns to live with who he is.

Awww, the painting was perfect! We made it they the prom!

I am enjoying this.  Thanks so much!

Author's Response:

Why scream? We aren’t seeing the same Chris. I get what your feeling, he is confused. The writers of the show seem to make everyone but Chris gay. Yet kept putting him in places someone straight wouldn’t have gone too, like Liberty Avenue.  Why purposely go somewhere you could get outed in front of his friends? Chris could have been an example of someone who was scared of his sexuality,  but instead they let that story pass them by, to show a bashing. People like this Chris exist and live dual lives to hide from the truth. It would have been a contrast to Justin not caring what the world thought. At least that's my take on it.

So I appreciate that you read my version and saw a new perspective.  Thank you, I think it’s a great compliment.

He's back already? Ugh lol.  I'll say it again unless he finds a way to change why would Mel have Jenny with him?

Brian and Justin deserve happiness even with a cheat sheet.

Deb is finally seeing Mikey, it won't Matt really. I've found that mothers and sons have strange dynamics, in the end he's her little baby regardless of what he does. 



Author's Response:

Michael is always going to come back, he resists change, through out the whole show.

How is it Mikey still thinks they are best friends?  Justin isn't invisible and Brian has made it clear again and again that he is with Justin. Mikey's delusions and Lindsay ridiculousness are astonishing!  

I think the direct tough love is the best.

I don't understand Ben, he could have left and ground a happier life.  Instead he whines? Maybe he loves Michael more than he's saying, I guess it's possible.

OMG if my mom told me to remember lube I'd probably die, even in at my older than Matt age.  Lol

Jenny, your Dad is gonna have fit!  

Mikey is delusional.  I assume he was going to steal Honeybuns money.  Just sad.

Lindsay better be smart she's losing Brian and Mel.  Oh, she's so jealous of the wardrobe , the wedding and well she sure hates Zee.  



Author's Response:

Can you imagine...hey my son likes popping candy and stimulating lube, make sure to stock up...mortifying.

Oh yes he sure is and it is going to be fun to write.  

No he wasn't going to steal it he was going to invest it...as you know he is an expert in the stock market...cough!

She has plans for that wardrobe and her hatred of Zee blinds her to exactly how powerful an enemy she is making...

Happy reading

Thanks for giving me a reason to dislike Lindsay.  That wasn't laziness or even carelessness it was mean and clearly meant in spite. Oh, it's a comin' and like Mikey she gon' regret some choices.

You're welcome, always nice to have another member in the clubs.

Wow, I feel awful for Lyndsay.  Even if her and Mel are on the outs constantly interfering in their marriage is just wrong.  Taking Mel places without her and then leaving her at the table is harsh.  Not to mention the law suit (which irl Mel would be fined or disbarred for her part in the prep for). If Mel wants out she should just leave. When you manipulate things to avoid manipulation you can become what you are trying to avoid. Don't get me wrong, Lydsay is a pill but between the cloths, work, the lawsuit, the wedding party trip and the outings she's seeming more atracked than attacking. 

I'm still reading along, but with one eye closed (I hate siding with Lyndsay).

I'm glad Faal found Zee and helped her.

Happy Thanksgiving!!! (Being thankful is universal tho the holiday is American)

Thanks for writing!

 



Author's Response:

You're welcome!  I'm glad you will still read albeit with one eye closed for now, but think I should answer your points:

No-one is interferring in the marriage but Lindsay, she has always run to Brian whenever there was a problem or used Gus as an excuse for trying to run aspects of Brian's life.  She's also blantantly flirting with Faal in front of Zee and Mel.

With regards to the lawsuit, Mel has made a statement to Joshua as to her knowledge of the email address and was shown the contents, she asked Adam not to serve at home and that's all she has done and all she will do.  

As for the clothes, these were a special present to Mel from Brian and Justin to thank her for bringing Gus home from Canada and were part custom made for her, she asked Lindsay not to wear them but she did anyway behind her back, so the lockdown was again her fault.  

Work wise, she's at fault because she is not moving along with the changes and feels entitled to do what she wants because she used to work there before and has taken advantage of that.  Lydia is different to Sydney and won't put up with her behaviour.  

If by outings you mean the tasting for Sydney's party she was at a showing and couldn't come anyway.  

Mel was taken from the table because Sam Auerbach, the man Lindsay had an affair with was sitting there, it wasn't fair on Mel especially as he said that he would be meeting up with Lindsay in San Francisco and she didn't say anything.

As for the wedding party, maybe I used the wrong phrase, the New York weekend is a thank you from Brian and Justin to those attending the wedding in a special capacity not just as a guest, which is what Lyndsey would be, so for her to want to come along isn't fair on any other guest.  

Lindsay's other behaviour has caused her problems as people react to it, she has lied to Emily, she deceived Brian as to the real reason she wanted a baby, she's not shown Brian the parental rights letter that she told Gus and Mel she would, saying she would discuss it with Brian and she's not done that either.  Also she's not told Mel about the support payments she's also received from Justin.

Yes Mel should get out and she will but she's also got to make sure she does it right.  She's giving up her parental rights to Gus so that Brian can get his back.

I do hope you stay with me to the end to see how this plays out.

Happy Thanksgiving too...sadly in the UK we don't have that but we have taken on the Black Friday sales with gusto.

Lindsay is not a part of the real world, it's as if she's ignores what she sees and hears.  I'm shocked she's willing to associate with Mikey.  I wonder if Zee is going to drop kick her at some point... Lol.

Oh yeah shes gonna get a metaphorical kicking.

Tough Ted is adorable.



Author's Response:

Oh yeah!!  I think when the time comes, Zee will leave a speck, a smudge would be too kind.  Karma is gonna take a chunk and serve it to him to eat!

Ted gets tougher.

This could be my favorite chapter from you ever.  It is frustrating, emotional, silly, heavy, crazy, and hysterical all at once.  The complete evil is met with anger but also with that awesome sense of humor you have (Teds sexy authority).

That being said -- He hit my baby with a pipe? A pipe?  You horrible creature. Lindsay and Debbie are just as scummy. 

Loved the extra update!!!
