Am full of joy at the idea of Craig being Fred's "indentured servant" looking forward to what Fred will have him doing. Who was Fred talking to?? Sounds like some games are afoot. can't wait!!
So Nancy is now working with Gardner and his wife huh? All sorts of interesting things will be happening there I'm sure. Unsuccessful naturally, but should be amusing and equally frustrating to see. They'll gain an inch and fall back a mile. Love seeing that. The idea of Lindsey and Gardner though....ick!! She and Gardner are in for a hell of a shock when Brian eventually sees Lindsey at the office. Kinnetic will be started sooner than he thinks I bet. She's definitely going to try to put some cogs in teh wheels at the office, but again, can't see it being particularly succesful. If she tries too much, Gardner will end up losing clients even before Brian leaves. Lindsey is going to cause him to loose a TON of money in the end.
Thank goodness Ron is out from her clutches. to think he's just been waiting all this time. His martyrdom will eventually be rewared I'm sure. Not however with Belinda. He learned his lesson with Nancy, pretty sure he's not going to take on Nancy 2.0.
The nephews may prove to be an interesting addition to this new family. I'm sure they will eventually end up there permanently. At least I would hope so. Joan is in for a shock! Hopefully the boys don't give them too much grief and lean quickly who the actual good guys are. Feel bad for them, as they are just a product of their environment. A change of that environment is sorely needed and fast!
Wonderful!!!! So much happening!
Cheers,
Elaine

Hey Elaine!
Craig is definitely going to understand the true meaning of 'indentured servitude' and you'll never guess who is responsible for his new plight. I listen for the virtual cackle you're going to have!
Nancy is indeed joining forces with Gardner, but she better watch out for Belinda Ryder, who is Marty's wife and her 'friend.' But when you live as a crab in a bucket, one better be careful about who's looking to pull you back down when you climb too high. And Belinda is definitely ONE of the crabs! I have a feeling that Ron has his own plans in the works to be too worried about Nancy 2.0.
Lindsay and Gardner...well isn't that a match made in HELL. But nothing is ever cut and dry, and their road of revenge definitely won't be smooth. After all, Cynthia, Marcie and Murph are there....just saying! LOL
I have to admit the arrival of John and Peter in this capacity has surprised me in a really interesting way. Brian will really get to know them, and in turn, they will learn what is fact or fiction regarding their mother and grandmother's rants about their Uncle Brian. Justin, Mel and the 'true' extended family will definitely help to dispel the myths.
Glad you continue to enjoy this story, Darling!
Happy Reading,
~Nichelle
Date: Feb 05, 2018 Title: Chapter 1: Chapter 1: HOW DID YOU GET HERE?
Riveting!! Not surprised at all about Chris's revelation. No shit he actually wanted them both!! Interesting statement from Brian though. that Chris is Michael an dLindsey wrapped up into 1. That is totally spot on. Until Brain made that statment, I never would've considered that.
Mel has a lot on her plate right now. I hope her parents don't make it worse. I know her father is dying, but she doesn't want the last visit to be like Biran's was with Jack. Hopefully her parents will be more accepting. If not, at least B&J will be there to tell the a few truths.
what are Joan and claire upto? Will this be the last we see of them? I doubt it. They need to meddle and vilify Brian. I can see them trying to get back and Jenn. Hehehe. Oh I'd love to see them try. Would be amusing!
Good to see Samuel and chris are goingto pay a ;arge sum. Their sense of entitlements got a massive kick in the ass today. Good judgement. good judge!! couldn't be bought or influenced.
Great chapter!!!!! thank you!
cheers

Date: Jan 22, 2018 Title: Chapter 22: SIDEBAR CHAPTER SEVEN: STOMPING WITH THE BIG DOGS Part 1: WHEN A PINSCHER BECOMES A POODLE
Wow!! 2 chapters!! So excited to see. What an interesting coule of chapters! Man oh man....the legths people will go to try to undermine and destry Brian and Justin.
Was so proud of Justin!! He showed amazing strength when confronted by both Lindsey and Michael as well as Chris! (that was pretty intense!) Pretty sure Craig was mesaging Chris re: Justin, thus he knew where to find him. Mel et al were obviously thinking the same thing as the phone is being traced. Can't wait to see what happens with that little tid bit of information.
Needless to say, they are all going DOWN and in a big way1 there will be no recovering for any of them. Not only will their professional lives be destroyed, so will their personal. (at least more than it already it) Pretty sure jail time will be in the works for them all as well! Me thinks the judges involved won't take to kindly to the lengths these assholes will go to to destry B&J.
Can't wait to see what all you have up your sleeve for everyone in this! Loving the gorwth in B&J, both as individiuals as well as a couple. It's lovely to watch. As much as we all hatge the duplicitous behaviour of Brian's so called "best friends" I am so enjoying, and am anticiapting their throrough smackdown even more. How far will they go? What will be the end result for them? Wondering if an entire new wing in the local prison should be build just for the entire crew of people out to get B&J. ;)
cheers,
Elaine
Date: Jan 16, 2018 Title: Chapter 20: Chapter 15: WORDS VERSUS ACTIONS
I never thought a sex scene could drive me to tears. It was hot...it was beautiful and it was magical for them both. What a lovely moment for them!
Fabulous smack down of Michael and Lindsey both. Brilliant1 Really glad that Deb recognized the fact that she had some growing to do as well. that she held back on coddling her son. she new she couldn't and she was right. he would take advantage of it.
Lindsey...well, Obviously she's not to be trusted either. Not sure what she's up to but it can't be good.
Tomorrow at the trial should be intersting. Hopefully it will be cathartic for Justin. That all goes well and that Craig's lawyer doesn't pull too much shit. that Justin candeal with it. He's stronger than he realizes!
Brilliant chapter and soooooooooo glad to see an update!!!
Cheers,
Elaine
Date: Jun 19, 2017 Title: Chapter 17: SIDEBAR CHAPTER FOUR: JUSTIN HAD IT RIGHT Part 1
That was intense though I must say. I'm a sucker for court drama, so this definitely wetted my appetite. Perkins is going down! Serves the asshole right. Mind you, it's nothing compared to what's going to happen to Dixon and Craig. Again soooooooo deserving of whatever happens to them!
Thank goodness Mel has this covered. Dispite her past feelings for Brian, she adores Justin and will do everything in her power to have everyone her deserves it pay a high price.
Impressed with the input of teh affidavits. the screws are tightening. Quite brave of those to come forward. I knew Hobbs had it all planned out, but this information certainly makes it clear to all. Man alive!!!
For prev chapter...Heart was breaking for Justin! Oh man. He's trying so hard, but he's getting slammed right and left. He'll get through it though I have no doubt. he has too many people supporting and loving him.
OMG!!!!!! that scene with Craig...THAT WAS THE BEST EVER!!!!!!!!!!!! Woohoooooooo! Absolutely brilliant! Oh how I wish we were able to actually see it. No way my imagination did it justice!
Michael is soooooooo screwed! He's goingto lose his job. for some unknown reason he seems to think that simply apolgzing will make everything alright with Brian. We know it won't thankfully, but it's kind of fun to watch his dilusions. lol
I was SO happy to see an update to this!
thank you!!
Cheers,
Elaine
Date: Apr 10, 2017 Title: Chapter 15: Chapter 12: DISCLOSURE
Like Brian, I want to freaking throttle Michael. Oh man...Michael is going to pay a hefty hefty price! what a little bastard!! Not sure the gang will forgive him for this one. I'm quite sure I wouldn't. Can't wait to see what Brian ulitmately does to Michael. I'm really glad that he also saw that he should've defended Justin more. that while Justin was able to defend himself, he shouldn't have had to.
An excellent chapter and I was so very happy to see an update.
Cheers,
Elaine
Date: Feb 28, 2017 Title: Chapter 13: SIDEBAR CHAPTER THREE: The PINCH HITTER
I have to admit, I did a little jig in when I saw this. My eyes may have welled up slightly in sheer joy.
Bryce has a huge set of cajones!! To defy his parents like he did. To admit to a relationship with a teacher...to say all that he did about Hobbs...Man alive. That was amazingly brave.
Melanie seems to think she in between a rock and a hard place. Saying she "can't" leave Lindsey, that they have kids together...Worse excuse possible!!
Am enjoying the strength that some of these characters are portraying. Oh this investigation is so interesting and I'm really anticipating teh outcome to it! So so so much happening. I really love that you're doing these side bars. A nice look into the investigation aspect to the story. Quite exciting.
Cheers,
Elaine
Date: Aug 29, 2016 Title: Chapter 12: SIDEBAR CHAPTER TWO: NEW FRIENDS AND OLD FOES
Tears of joy seeing this update! thrilled beyond belief! thank you!!!
The intro of Shavonne should be an interesting addition to the story. A nice little bit of personal history between her and mel. Not even going to touch on her ex hubby and the queen. lol. How ironic is that?? Glad there doesn't seem to be any long standing grudge there of Mel's slip of the tongue. Kind of reminded me of Justin's slip about Brian and Ben.
I'm liking this sidebar aspect to the story you're doing. The court case is something that's going to be a great part of it, and these aspects you're writing gives a terrific backgournd into it.
Daphne sure has alot to say!! good thing too. The bullying that Justin had to endure, and it was blindly ignored if not facilitated by the faculty. thrilled that the judge etc are going to get what for! Daph definitely gives a different perspective. A very realistic one at that. She saw chris watching adn looking at justin. (OK...while obvious, still kinda creepy!)
thanks for this chapter hun!! So happy to have seen it this morning adn been able to read it.
Cheers,
Elaine
Date: Aug 08, 2016 Title: Chapter 11: Chapter 10- THE RETURN
"Chris the cunt, Dixon the dick and Perkins the pussy"...LMFAO!!!!!!! OMG! that was brilliant!!
Mel is seeing first hand the positive influence that Brian and Justin have on each other. Good. Can't wait to see what's gonna happen with her next victim...I mean interview.
George as Justin's uncle huh?? Interesting. this could make for some interesting interactions in teh future. I mean, what a difference in personalitites! between George and Craig i mean. Dayum!
what a brilliant idea for teh potter's wheel! Good thinking. Hopefully this works and that Justin doesn't put too much pressure on himself. Will we witness a "Ghost" moment between B&J in teh future?? LOL.
Lindsey's confrontation with Jenn came out as would be expected. she as definitely out wasped. Not sure what she has up her sleeve, but we all know it can't be good. Definitely don't trust her, and sadly, I'm not sure i f justin has teh strength to stand up to her especially when it comes to beliving Brian's emotional commitment to him. nope....don't trust her at all. I'm sure however, that you have an idea of her getting her cumuppence at some point and I for 1 will watch with eye's lit up with approval!! LOL
Your update made my night. I always love getting one for one of your stories.
thaks for this!! and of course...look forward to more. for whichever fic you do next. ;)
cheers
Elaine
Date: Jun 01, 2016 Title: Chapter 8: Chapter 8- LOCKED UP
Wonderfully long and involved chapter! I was completely sucked in the entire time. Admittedly I am currently at the office, but what others don't know won't hurt them!!! :)
I like the idea of the sidebars. I definitely want to read all the action going on there. Will Hobb's Russo, dixon, & Craig etc shoot themselves in the ass with their testimony? I know this new judge can't be bought off, but....
I can only hope that Debbie has really and truly seen things as they are. That Vic has really gotten through to her, and that she sticks to her guns. It's one thing to have an epiphany about Micheal, it's altogether another to stopp the cycle of enableing. I want her to have a life outside of the family! Carl will be good for her. Micheal is just going to have to suck it up.
I have to admit, Lindsey is kind of freaking me out. I've always known she's manipulative in her own way, and you get to elevate that in your fics. Something I enjoy immensely! :) How far will she really go though? And to what end? Inquiring minds want to know! :)
Micheal.......Micheal Micheal Micheal. No real surprise there. Another one who manipulates to their own demise. Yet....another one that is so enjoyable to watch it happen to, lol. There's always the hope that one day he'll grow up. But then again, watching him fall is such fun! (man....I'm such a bitch!! lol) I guess these stories are all an opportunity to read (of in your case write) vicariously!
Heart breaks for Justin and Brian. Poor Brian is suffering just as much. I hope you alleviate that soon. I think both he and Justin need a bit of light at the end of the tunnel. There's only so much a person can take.
Loved finding this update this morning. Another pause in my morning at the office. Most enjoyable!!!
thanks for this!! I always am so joyful to see one of your updates.
Cheers,
Elaine
Author's Response:
Hey Elaine!! As always I love, Love, LOVE your reviews!! There is a lot of things that are going to happen throughout this fic. I really am enjoying writing this!
For Debbie, bad habits are hard to break and that includes cloaking and covering for her only child. But not to worry... Vic is going to make sure that although she may backslide from time to time, Michael will have to stand on his own and fight for himself. I think having Carl appear earlier than in the series will also facilitate that. And Michael will have plenty of rude awakenings on his journey to manhood.
Yes, Lindsay can be a manipulative and selfish shrew especially where Brian is concerned. At base, she likes Justin, but like Michael, she also views him as a threat to what she considers HER happiness. That all may change eventually once she gets to fully see the extent of Justin's injuries. Soon we'll get a POV from Justin that will also help explain just what Michael and Lindsay said or did that set him off. One thing is for certain, Mel, Emmett and even Ted will NOT allow her to delude herself into thinking that her acts are without egocentric motivations. The real question is will Brian and Justin be able to see them coming?
I'm so happy that you like the idea of the 'Sidebars.' I know that everyone would want to see the testimony as it happens. Hopefully although I can't promise, I hope that it will be followed up by a 'regular' chapter in the same day as well. You know what they say about the best laid plans...lol Russo's and the Pittsburgh P.D/ Stockwell comeuppance will come in the next Part of SOWK because they are on Federal levels which ultimately take longer to accomodate Depositions for but we'll catch glimpses of them here and there. Pluse there is another issue in which both of them will feature heavily (yeah...Brian and Justin have another crisis coming but it can't be helped- more about that later...much later and will ultimately be the reason for the Ethan fiasco). As for the others, they will face their music during Part I and that will include the DA. It should definitely be interesting to see them all answer questions about their roles in the cover-up...
It's a long road ahead but one I hope you'll find worth every moment!
Happy Reading and HUGS,
~Nichelle
Date: Jun 20, 2016 Title: Chapter 9: Chapter 9- CARVING A NEW PATH
first off, THANK YOU!! Have been anticipating this chapter.
Michela and Linsey. I mean, I knoew they could be spoiled little brats, but to take it to such an extreme is beyond belief. thank goodness Emmett was there, adn that Brian arrived as well. To say "I'm disappointed in them" is not near enough. It's disgusted to the point of being perverse. Cruel isn't near a good enough discription. Please have Brian really lay into them!! Even beyond what he's done thus far. I love reading anti-Mike and/or Lindsey fics, but the real almost hatred I feel for them reading this in particular....I want to crawl into the fic adn kick their asses! LOL.
I hope that Debbie has really or at least has part way come to her senses re: Micheal and his spoiled little brat ways. That she really listens to vic adn continues with her actions with Micheal. That she puts her foot down in no uncertain terms adn that she carries on with it. that she doesn't allow Micheal to influence his pissy attitude about her and Carl.
I hope too that Ben is able to give him a kick i nthe ass as well. I'm not sure how interested he'll stay if he sees how obsessed Micheal is with Brian, nor if he hears about what Micheal and Lindsey did to Justin. I know I certainly would kick anyone to the curb who could do that to anyone, let alone for such selfish reasons.
The rooftop scen was lovely, hot and sweet. Brian was generous and loving and giving. Loved it!!
Now I envision the shit hitting the fan when David arrives. Yet another point against micheal should Ben find out. (I never really understood their dynamic on the shoe. Ben is so intelligent, adn Micheal..........well, isn't Was it because micheal was able to come across as such a "boy next door" kind of guy? Was it is "little boy" kind of persona that attraced Ben? Perhaps Ben saw the potential of the kidn of man he hoped micheal would become. I mean, granted, he had his moments here adn there. But even in those good moments, I often quetioned his motivations. Like at the end, when he convinced Brian to redo Babylon. Brian's expression when Micheal spoke was....he seemed disappointed and an "I give up" expression. Then Micheal's face was a smirk...Like he won or something. Hated that scene.
Off to review the sidebar.
thanks for this!!
Cheers,
Elaine
Date: Mar 06, 2017 Title: Chapter 14: Chapter 11: RECOGNITION, Tantrums and T-R-O-U-B-L-E with a Capital T
Go Cynthia!! what an impressive pair of cajones she has standing up to Vance like she did. Kind of makes me hope he tries for fire Brian! I wonder if he realizes that all those clients will happily walk with Brian when he eventuall leaves? OR...perhaps when he sues Vance if he's dumb enough to try to fire Brian. Brian will end up owning Vanguard lock stock and barrel. Thank goodness she had teh forethought to get all the necesary information onto the thumbdrives, and she has them with her.
Ted...well...man o man! I didn't see that coming but GO TEDDY!!!!! Bellweather is just the most vile creature. That he and his nephew have such nasty plans. I get the impression that they are even more involved than we realize at the moment.
I'm so thoroughly disgusted by Michael. He's so desparate for acceptance of any kind that he'll resort to anything just to get it. he doesn't see that people are using him, or if he does, he doesn't care as long as he gets his revenge, his 5 minutes of fame, gets his own way..the list goes on sadly. I can't believe he said all those things about hsi "friends".
Great update!!!!
cheers,

Hello my dear!!!!!!!!!! Well, I must say, your warning for graphic violence was spot on!! WOW!! and YIKES!!
Like I said on FB, I have no idea how I missed chapter 8. Ah well. I got to read 2 chapters at once.
I must say, I think Kip and Sap got off easy compared to what my lay ahead for David. LOL. Good to see Deb and Jen working wo well together. I can see them becoming friends do to their many common interests. Perhaps find a new found repsect for each other. haha.
Lindsey......talk about seeing a different side of her!! Again...YIKES! If the families merge, obviously another realtionship will be in teh works, between her ane Mel. Nothing like a perverse love ot pain and torture to bring people together.
Gotta say, teh bird thing.......eeeeeeeeeeeeek! I'm honestly scared shitless of birds, so that scene playing out on my head. Yeesh! Got chills!
Terrific 2 chapters. Have been thoroughly enjoying this fic. Enjoyed the twists you've created.
Looking forward to more.
Cheers,
Elaine
Author's Response:
Hey Elaine!!! What can I say about this chapter? I had so much fun being this vicious and I'm glad that you enjoyed it. I have to say this is probably the first time I really enjoyed writing Lindsay and Mel. Talk about a match made in CREEPY!! Jenn and Deb are getting to know each other by more than reputation only and that can only strengthen the partnership. They may never fully be friends but they definitely have a newfound respect for the others ability to torment their victims. Wait until their sons get to David!!! **Hint: Brian is going to see a side of Justin he's never seen but only recently heard about...And so is David!

I love how in this chapter all the fighting, death scenes etc are approached by them kind of like a day at the office. lol. Big meeting, and they got it done. Love it. adn thank you for no more bird scenes! ;)
No way could they have David live adn just go to jail. Like they said, he'd just escape and he'd be even more dangerous. Great end for him! Not only having to watch B&J, but having his own form of torture, which was partially pleasure, adn haveing Cynthia finally end it. Very apropo. Must say though, that little twist with Cyn and David was definitely a bit "WOAH!"
Great story all round. Looking forward to putting it on my kindle and giving a good re-read.
While I'm looking forward to reading updates on the other story, like you, I'm going to morn the end of it. It's inevitable, but it'll be emotional as well. At least once it's finished, again, I can add it to my kindle, curl up with a "glass" (aka bottle) of wine and read in it's entirety again. (and again)
Cheers,
Elaine

Woah......I seem to say that alot in these fics of yours. That and Holy shitballs! both of which are pretty precise!
michael adn Lindsey are in so much trouble! both are digging themselves early graves. figuratively and perhaps even literally. this need for revenge is going to have Lindsey in a whole heap of trouble. she's completely over the top! Her dad...I dunno about him. You make him seem like he may be havingsecond thoughts, but will he ever really do the right thing or will he go down with the perverbial ship with Craig and Stockwell? the brithers....well...they are going to come to a dire end I'm sure. (I have upmost faith in you!!)
Ethan...well now. He's one that's also causing too many problems for himself.
Glad they have Mel on their side in this. She's not going to let anything happen to our boys. Thank goodness she overheard everything in teh last update! She'll be a few steps ahead of those who are causing all teh problems.
William is finally really seeing Justin for who he is. Not a threat to him at all. that everything that justin has gone through, while he may not know what it is, recognizes that it's been dire. That alone seems to have him respecting justin. Seems to have a deeper understanding of all the crap Justin has gone through.
I have so much fun reading adn re-reading all your fics. alwyas such a thrill. I find I need to read each update a couple of times just to make sure I get all of it engrained. That I catch all the nuances. fuck me you are just so talented. I'm always trying to figure out which one I prefer. I can never really tell. with each update on each fic, I deem that one my faveorite. lol.
Love that you share your incredible talent with us! It's apriveledge to read them.

WOW!! Wow wow wow! Am totally amped up now. Pretty thrilling chapter!
Ron definitely wasn't at all prepared for the brick wall he faced. He didn't get anywhere with them. I'm a bit surprised that Ron was naive enough to think that he'd just walk away with the journal.
Ooooooooooooweeeee! Nancy isn't gonna know what hit her!! Looking forward to that!! Inevitably Lindsey will see her demise as well. Again, fun fun fun! Well, perhaps not for her, but definitely for the rest of us! lol
Thank you for this! Terrific update.

Date: Mar 06, 2017 Title: Chapter 18: Chapter 18: SUSPENSION of DISBELIEF
I've got chills...they're multiplying...!!!
WOW and holy shitballs! This is so intense! So many things going on in the lives of Justin adn Brian. Their so called friends have no idea just how deep in shit they are! Lindsey may have a slight idea, but I don't think Michael really does. He's not smart enough. He actually thinks that Brandon and Connor will want him. His jealousy is going to get him killed of he doesn't get his head out of his ass soon adn get some form of protection against the brothers. Unfortunately for him, he can't see past his own wants and what he sees as beingowed to him. Namely Brian's loyalty. He wants what he wants and screw anyone else. Lindsey, being cut from the same clothe as her mother, is more than happy to align herself with the brothers to get what she wants, what she feels she deserves.
Ethan is another character who has no idea what he's getting himself into I don't think. He's another one who thinks he's owed something, who thinks he deserves what he wants. He's certainly going to get what's coming to him, just not in the way he thinks or hopes.
glad that William seems to have come around. That he and Justin seem to have come to some kind of truce. that may be the only thing that saves his ass in the end. If what he's saying is the truth, then hopefully he'll be able to obtain soem kind of protection. If not, than his demise is iminent. May be iminent either way tbh. It's a good thing he went to Cynthia first off, and was given the opportunity to speak to B&J as well. they are better prepared now hopefully.
I simply cannot believe everything that is happening to our boys, particularly Justin. Life has not been kind to him in so many ways. thankfully he has Brian now as well as a ream of friends and family who will do all they can to protect both he and Brian.
Oh girlfriend......I was SO SO SO excited to see an update to this story!! It really is just so exciting, so thrilling! It's been interminally long since we've seen an update. No guilt, I know you've been busy!! I'm just so happy to see this. I saw it last night, shortly before I was turnign out the lights and forced myself not to read it. To wait until this morning so I cold go back and re-read a couple of chapters to remind myself where we're at. I wouldn't have gotten any sleep at all if I'd done that last night. LOL.
I hope to see more of these now. Such a cliff hanger!!! My anxiety level is at a high. I can't say enough about how exciting this is. You are such a freaking talented writer!! It blows my mind that we are all gived with your talent, and so very grateful that you share your gift with us!! HUGE FAN!!

WOW!! Sorry this is so late. I've been moving. I only just read this.
I've been looking forward to getting an update on this one. Weel,,,any update on any of yours stories is a treat in all honesty. I'm always thrilled no matter which one it is.
so much is happening. Brandon and Connor I hope are going to get a swift and permanent end. As much as I adore all the angst, I hope that B&J are able to keep it together and put a stop to all the shitheads around them. they hav e aterrific support network, so I'm sure, while there will be bumps along teh way, they will be all good. someone will be there to talk sense into one or the other if and when needed.
Will Craig be onboard with teh revenge idea? Obviously he will want to...his anger and hatred runs deep. Will he be too fearful of teh possible ramifications though or will his need for revenge out weigh it. I know adn LOVe your hatred for Craig, so whatever you have him doing, his eventual demise will be eventful. I love reading about his downfalls. lol. Not death, cause that's too easy and let's face it....nobody will miss him, but jail time,,,,and all that goes with hit...yup! :)
Micheal....wht can I say about Micheal that hasn't already been said. emmett tried. He was a blunt and straight forward as he could possibly be, Nothing seems to get through to the guy. and now that Brandon and connor are going to get involved.........oh shit....it's going to get bad. And dear lordy...really??!?! Gus?!?! Justin and Brian will kill anyone who even tries to get near the boy.
Man o man...so much ahppening. So much going to happen. a real thrill ride. That's what love about your stories. Each chapter is such a treat. a real roller coster ride.
thank you for this!! Was such atreat!!
Cheers.
Elaine.
Date: Jul 19, 2016 Title: Chapter 16: Chapter 16- A CALL TO CHARM
I quite literally feel scik to my stomach. Lindsey's machinations...her complete betrayl is unbelievable. What I don't get, is that she seems to really belive what she's saying. That she really thinks Brian will marry her, that she could actually convice him to drop work to please her. Her sense of entitlements is mind boggling! and that she can so easily be bought........I hope Brian is able to call the clinic in time. How much more will she do, how far will she go to get what she wants. I wonder what's really driving her sometimes. Is it actually her desire for Brian, or is it the life she seems to think she's entitled to or is it simply teh approval of her father/parents.
what's to happen with Micheal. will he fall in line with Brandon and Connor, or will they go to far in just one night and cause Micheal harm? Will they "woo" him to joining forces? How far will he go?
So much angst and intrigue!!
Thrilled that B&J are legally joined! Thrilled that Mel is a part of teh group and that Gus is safe.
Much adventure to come and can't wait!
cheers,
Elaine

Hey my Darling Elaine!!! Hope the move went well! I hate moving more than words can ever say! SMH
Now for your review: Lindsay is a straight up BITCH in this fic. She is vicious and has a boundary problem in the worse way. Her reason for that is two-fold. First, she is truly her parents' offspring (that will be explained by Ron in the next chapter). She is not used to being told 'NO' and when she employs other tactics to get her way and they usually work. Sadly her second reason is because she DOES believe that everything she is doing will lead to her goals being met. She believes wholeheartedly that if she thinks therefore she is.... in other words she believes that she is the yang to Brian's ying; his equal in every way that matters and the perfect spouse for him because of her upbringing and social connections which she'll regain once she's married to a successful man who would fit in with the WASP nest. Since Brian has grown used to the finer things in life, it stands to reason that he is ready to take his place at her side. In reality- well within the context of this fanfic- she thinks she's a bitch, therefore is a Bitch but her ultimate goal is to be a Rich Bitch like her mom and sister before her. We'll see if her rationale works for her.
We will see the inner workings of Michael's brain and motivations in the next chapter along with a few of the others, including Ethan (let's not forget that he's still lurking in Pittsburgh too). I will say that his time spent with Brandon did leave quite the impression on him. Needless to say that he will NOT be happy with the current state of affairs between Brian and Justin.
More drama from Angst-Mama coming soon!! In the meantime, Happy Reading and HUGS,

Synopsis: Brian Kinney and Justin Taylor are new parents! Their lives are thrown into even more turmoil than ever before by the demands of baby Kevan and all the challenges associated with being fathers. Can Brian cope with being not only a full-time father but also a celebrity, a successful advertising executive, an up and coming fashion model and a fully domesticated 'Family Man'? Probably not! Set roughly in the timeframe of Season 2. Sequel to 'Prego Stud'.

Date: May 17, 2016 Title: Chapter 46: Chapter 46 - Daddy’s Little Swimmers.
First off, sorry for not reviewing teh previous chapter. Somehow i missed it adn only just read it now. I was then too anxious to get to teh next and final chapter to review. LOL Needless to say, it was awasome!!
Kevan.what a little tyrant! LOL I so remember those days. Into everything adn those damned diapers!!
I'm glad that Micheal had some sense knocked into him. Hopefully he's being homst, not only with B&J but also with himself. they've been friends for so long and as much as I personally can't stand the little fucker, it would be hard on Brian to end such a long standing friendship. I'm sure he'll be wary for some time, but perhaps, Micheal will actually grow up abit.
Lindsey....I'm figuringthere's not much hope for her. She's too bitter adn too self involved. Too entitled. Let's face it....Justin was right, she's a cunt. ;) Don't normally use that word, but in this case..appropriate. :)
Jusmping up and down for joy that J is the daddy! So thrilled!! I had hoped adn was pretty sure, but good for it to be validated.
I'm torn now between happy to have finally read this through to it's completion. That they will have their happy family and all is well. Sad at the same time that it's over. such a great story!! thank you so much for sharing this adventure with us all!
Cheers,
Elaine
Author's Response:
Thank you so much, Elaine. I forgive you for not reviewing the last chapter - lol. I agree with all your observations too. Kevan is adorable and will likely be quite the little tyrant soon, if he isn't already. And I bet the adjustment to having two more full-time siblings will be tough on him, poor boy. Michael and Linds . . . well, who knows. Brian still needs them, I think, because they are family no matter how aggravating they can be and Brian has so little family, that he can't be walking away from any of them. I'm optimistic that they'll all work things out in time. And as for Brian and Justin - we know they'll be just fine because Justin is in Brian's blood now! LOL. Thanks for reading and for all your great reviews along the way. They are SO appreciated. Now, what new QAF mischief can I get up to, hmmm? TAG
Even though they have their ups and downs, Brian and Justin always find their way back to each other. They are ready to take on the world! -mamaduck
Sequel to Time's Up Volume I: It's Only Time
After ten years, Brian and Justin are still meeting in secret. Now one is ready to make things permanent while the other...Hmm- not so much. It will ultimately come down to hard choices, sacrifices and what's more important: everlasting love or freedom? And how will secret and not-so-secret enemies affect their decision?
***COMPLETE*** ENJOY!!

Oh my dear lord....another cliff hanger. I'm going to need xanax at this rate! lol. So exciting! Hopefully Julianne will be able to keep it together and not panic.
So many people involved in this rescue. There's going to be some very anxiety inducing moments ahead!
Not sure if I want Evangine dead or if I want her to suffer greatly in prison. Mind you...she has enough connections that prison may not hold her. IF caught, hopefully all those caught up in the net will testify against her. Mind you...that'd be signing their own death warrants wouldn't it. Again...thinking out loud...rambling. lol. I think dead. right between teh eyes, knowing who's doing it. Seeing it coming.
Brandon was a twist for those around him. I can see a few people doing a double take.
Emmett was a major force there! Not putting up wiht Jason blaming Brian! Good on him. Good think for Jason's sake that Justin didn't hear him. Justin would rip a couple of vital things off of him, no matter how deep the friendship!
I have to say, I wasn't expecting an update so quickly. Thank you! A lovely surprise.
Cheers,
Elaine
Date: Oct 24, 2017 Title: Chapter 50: Chapter 50: EPILOGUE
Now that it's finished I went back and re-read it all before putting it onto my kindle. I realized how much I'd forgotten over time. Disregard my surprise in my previous review about Evangeline....yeah...that was a big aspect to forget, but between longer updates and reading so many others, it had completely slipped my mind. SORRY!
Just as Ted referred to, "All's well that ends well". Those who so deserved it, got the retrubution coming to them. And I agree with Jenn...Go BUBBA!! lol
A part of me does feel a bit saddened by Deb's fate. She brought it upon herself though.
Everyone else seems to be living well and happy. So good. They all deserved it after the hell they've all gone through.
Brillaont story and as I'm reading through again, I'm appreciating it that much more.
Cheers and thanks!

Date: Oct 20, 2017 Title: Chapter 48: Chapter 48: FEAST of the GOLDEN GEESE Part 3
My goodness! so much happening in just one chapter! Justin is one tough little fighter! Holy moses! Excitment, angst, galore! my adrenaline was pumping throughout the entire read. So much so I had to read it twice so I could take it all in without the intial emotions running rampant.
totally freaked out that Brian and Justin were shot! Oh my goodness!!!!! I know they'll be OK, but still...scary shit!
Dirty cops galore! Evangeline is one too?!?!?!??! Holy shitballs! Maloney is going down as well.
What's going to happen with Evangeline now? Will she escape from the hospital or will this be her end g ame? Fianlly caught and brought to justice? She is going DOWN!!
Such a long wait for this chapter but so well worth the wait! I'll be of course putting this on my Kindle to re-read in it's entirety in one fell swoop. Can't wait!
So looking forward to what you have for us next. Is this winding down now? Any more PB's up your sleeve for us?
AS always, totally transfixed with your storylines. Always brilliant
Cheers

Date: Jul 18, 2016 Title: Chapter 45: Chapter 45- LIKE A TAYLOR-KINNEY SCORNED Part II
How the hell did I miss this?!?!?!?!?
Holy crap! Looks like you will be able to tie everything up pretty soon. From what you've stated, just the next update?
Man...This was seriously an exciting chapter! I don;t even know where to start!!
Is Micheal going to get blown up? I hope not as it's Deb's house. Actually...I gues it's not anymore is it...Hmmmm It also seems like an easy out for him ya know? I want him to suffer more. He does seem to be coming around a bit after his talk with David. I can't beleive what he did with the Organization just to get what he wanted. Yes....I want him to suffer. Big time! Will he own up to his involvement? (even tho everyone already knows)
Now for Mark and Evangeline. Ooooooooooooh what do you have in store for them? Can't wait to find out.
An Go Daph!! A well deserved ass kicking. HAHAHAHA! Brilliant!
thanks for this fic....this whole series!!
Cheers
Elaine
Date: May 17, 2017 Title: Chapter 46: Chapter 46: FEAST OF THE GOLDEN GEESE Part 1
Are you freaking kidding me?!?!? OMFG!.....*deep breaths*
gotta say, Justin is a major fireball isn't he?!? Good thing that Brian was able to talk him down, along with Sarah.
That shoot out was terrifying! Wasn't expecting that at all. I was sort of waiting for Deb's house to blow up or something.
Seems like almost everyone has been rounded up. Just not the worst of them unfortuately. Now I know that Justin and hopefully Jules will inevitably be ok, but man alive, talk about stress! How did those bitches get them when half the PD was in the bank. Talk about brazen! At least Sheila is folowing so they know where they are being taken. who all is left that hasn't been nabbed yet?
Joan and Claire, selfish C-words, but can I also say...really REALLY stupid! I mean admit to paying to have Brian murdered. dumb dumb dumb. Poor Brian though to have to have heard that. Awful!
Do you think michael actually heard Brian? Naaaa, me neither. ;) Hopefully nobody falls for his, what was it..."dewy-eyed innocent" game. Thee's enough shit against him though that it wouldn't play out. He's going down! couldn't happen to a better asshole. I guess everything he spoke to David about didn't stick. The need for money, the need for Brian...it's like a disease for him. an addiction.
Brilliant update and am so looking forward to the next one. this cliff hanger is intense!
Cheers,
Elaine
