Hello! I've stopped reading QAF fanfiction, or at least reading it regularly, some time ago. But when I saw that you are writing a story with a PC theme, I had to read it. I've seen only one finished story with this theme before and another one abandoned, both I really liked. This is great too. I like the slow pace, the protective Brian, and that Justin is gaining trust in Brian gradually. Also I love BJ and I love dealing with political and social justice issues, and although it's a work of fiction, it still gets more to me than any other story. It would be great if fighting the PC practices on a broader area than between B. and J. were described too. I'm waiting impatiently where you will take it! 



Author's Response:

Welcome back to the fandom, Astrid! Glad you like this so far. And, yes, I do plan to use this story to deal with some real life social issues like discrimination, political greed and such. I was actually inspired to write it after reading some late night tweets from political friends descrying the mindset that morality doesn't really matter as long as your making money. Please let me know if you think I'm hitting the mark on all these issues or not. It's going to be a lot different than my other stories, so I'll be eagerly waiting to hear how people receive it. Thanks for reading and for letting me know you're enjoying it. TAG

Coming back to your reply to my last comment, I think you are doing a great job in showing the broader context of how ugly PC trade is, even if some chapters are more focused on Justin personally. But Justin is not the only PC, and relatively lucky at that, and in the last chapter I liked that you described the black guy, it was heartbreaking to read about him. It would be great if there were some more PC characters (except for Justin) developed. You are doing a great job and make me think about a fandom story again during my day :) Thanks!

Summary:

OMG that's so brilliant. Justin's sweet naivety about the dildo and safe sex (from the previous chapter). Bathroom scene was great, I'm laughing at Brian for his vanity. Anti-wrinkle creme lol. For a moment I was worried that there will be drama as Justin was thinking about leaving Brian, but luckily he knows better. Daphne is clever, thinking about a supernatural explanation... just not this one! How long untill they figure Brian out? Or till Brian outs himself? Ich bin gespannt, as would the Gerries say.

OMG I'm crazy about this story. I haven't been reading any QAF fiction lately and now I'm back to this thanks to you! Could it be that Justin is listed as dead yet the body was not found since he mysteriously disappeared from the RAF (we all know where and with whom it could have happened...) and someone wanted to cover it up? :>



Author's Response:

Gald to have rekindled your QAF interest! More coming soon! TAG

Good chapter, like all of them! For a moment I thought the phone is working in the past, that would be something. I wonder what Justin might think of Brian - such a gadget must look soooo spy-like! And yet Justin is trustful.

Can't wait for Justin to find out about the time-travel!

Wow! Just wow! Great chapter. I've been waiting for it since the beginning of the story. Can't wait to see how Justin will like 2016 once he gets there. And oh, how naive can Chris Hobbs be! Can't wait to read more.



Author's Response:

Thank you! And thanks for your excellent suggestion about the WWII movies! Don’t think Justin will care for the future much, though - at least not a first. Can you imagine the shock of that discovery? Off to write more! TAG & Sally

I was really sure Justin is going to say the date including the year, and it will be it, couple days at the hospital. Luckily no. Poor him anyway, hospital must hvae been scary with all the lights and machinery. And Brian was totally adorable being worried about Justin noticing doorman's flirting. 

Loving it so much!



Author's Response:

I know, right? Can you imagine being from that era and having someone tell you they were going to 'scan your brain' with an MRI? I'd be running out of there screaming! LOL. Brian's gonna be taking good care of his little time traveler boy though. Happy to hear you're still enjoying this. TAG & Sally.

Summary:

This is a what if version of that period of time at the end of Season 3 and beginning of Season 4 when Justin has gone to Hollywood to help in the making of the movie, "Rage" . What if Brian couldn't take the separation from his lover any longer, especially with a New Year about to start? What would Brian do about it? I owe a great debt of gratitude to my friend, Judy for her beta help and my Granddaughter, Marika for the banner. Hugs, Grammy
