Bio:
Justin has grown up in a very different household than seen in canon. He is living on the streets when he is found by the Liberty Diner gang and is rescued - malnourished, exhausted and ill - and taken home by Brian. Can Justin be brought out of this hell he's been resigned to by his hateful father? Can Brian find the one thing that will make Justin whole again?
This story is based on a prior fic - 'Smolder' - by LovelessSouls. All credit for the haunting story premise goes to the original author, as well as my thanks for letting me repost the first two chapters of that story.

What happened to Daphne? I have to read more. Also I think it's normal for a new dad to be a little bit scared. I hope that's all it is with Curtis.
Author's Response:
Daphne dies, that is what the story revolves around.
Most new fathers would be worried but not as bad as Curtis.
Thanks

Curtis is an ass. Poor Daphne, what a big loss. I hope there will be no problems with Brian and Justin taking the baby.
Author's Response:
Our story will have a happy ending.
Thanks

Date: Jun 18, 2016 Title: Chapter 3: Beautiful Boy
I'm really glad Keegan is Justin's son. And I have to repeat myself: Curtis is an ass. Thankfully Brian and Justin are so good together that Justin has someone to hold on to during these hard times.
Author's Response:
We like Brian an Justin together.
They are wonderful parents.
Curtis is definitely an ass and will be even more of one soon.
Thanks

Date: Jun 18, 2016 Title: Chapter 4: You're My Best Friend
That was so beautifully written, very sad but also very good. It made me cry. Thank you for doing such a great job.
Author's Response:
Thank you so much.
We cried writing it too.
Thanks

Date: Jun 18, 2016 Title: Chapter 5: Bridge Over Troubled Water
Mmh, I don't like Brian's reaction when Justin started talking about Keegan living with them. I hope it won't cause something bad between Brian and Justin.
Author's Response:
Brian is nervous.
He never considered having a child to raise.
Thanks
~charming1 & Lorie~
Date: Jun 18, 2016 Title: Chapter 6: That's What Friends Are For
I'm really relieved now that I know that Brian's hesitation was about his age. I can totally understand that. Emmett and Ted are great friends and said exactly the right things.
Author's Response:
Brian has realized that Emmett and Ted are much better friends than Michael ever was.
Thanks
~charming1 & Lorie~
Date: Jun 18, 2016 Title: Chapter 7: Take Me Home
I haven't even missed Michael in the story up until now. That just shows how unimportant he is. Hopefully he realizes it too and leaves everyone alone.
Author's Response:
Michael definitely made himself unwanted with what he tried to do.
Thanks

Date: Jun 18, 2016 Title: Chapter 8: Love Will Keep Us Together
I'm sooo happy they worked things out. Now I hope they keep it this way and Mel can do some magic so Justin can keep Keegan.
Author's Response:
They have truth and honesty, they won't need magic.
Thanks

Date: Jun 18, 2016 Title: Chapter 9: We Are Family
Please Brian, don't destroy everything you have. I can't stop reading and it's 1am.
Author's Response:
Brian has a lot to think about.
Thanks
