Summary:

Justin's life is spent alone, only being sought out for his mind, and Brian for his body. Only Justin sees past the party boy to the man Brian really is. Justin can’t relate to people or why they do things and lives a solitary life because of it. He watches Brian, only because Brian quiets the mind he can't shut off. Brian watches Justin, not understanding why he needs to know more about Justin.

Oh shit!  What can he do?  Yes, I'm intriguied.

Summary:

Sequel to "Filled Silence" set in the Post-Stockwell Era, Brian and Justin makes some decisions that will redefine their definition of the word 'relationship'. Although inspired by the concepts within "The Experiment" by Wren and "The Dare" by Edom, it's my take on what should have happened in the series. ENJOY!!!

To the Wonderful and Talented Lorie Austin, Thanks for being my beta, but most of all, my friend. I couldn't do what I do without you.

WTF?  I did not see that coming.

"I want us to try monogamy..."

 

Well, I'm  all in.  I'll help in any way I can.  Hand them lube, keep a steady porn supply arriving at their door, send flowers?  

 

Ok, I'm moving to the next chapter.  *skips off happily.*

Oh, I love them talking and working on their partnership.

 

Great job.  Let's get on with starting Kinnetik. I"m all in , too.

Well,  over the years I've turned very anti-Michael, so I'm willing to think the worst.

 

I guess you'll take me where you want me to go. 

I'm falling in love with them again.  So far, so very good.

 

Thanks

You pack a lot into a chapter.  That's a positive comment.  It's nice to get a real sense of what's happening, not just a little snippet.  

How enjoyable to read about them actually talking and communicating with each other.  I liked that they don't want to be blindsided any longer by other people.  And if they talk and are honest with each other it lessens' those chances.  Thanks for taking us there.

Now, off to bed I go.

Date: Jul 04, 2018 Title: Chapter 22: STUPID IS AS STUPID DOES BUT DOES THAT APPLY TO A SORRY ASS, TOO?

Well, Lindsay and Michael might have to pool their future resources if they manage to stay out of jail.  If they get jobs at the Big Q or McDonald's perhaps they could share an apartment.  That gives me chills.

 

I never liked Ethan and I like him even less now.  Lindsay, Michael, and Deb are really something.  Personally, I cannot abide people who cannot accept personal responsibility.  You've made them punch all my buttons.  i find myself wanting to commit acts of violence on them.  hahahahaha  I better go take a pill . hahahahahah thanks for the entertainment.

i'm certainly crossing my fingers that Alex can do some good with Deb.  It would take a miracle at this point.  But, something could get through to her.  She hasn't even had a chance to feel what Michael has caused her to lose.   It's massive.  Thanks for all the past explanations about those. 

I'm glad you had Vic take care of the answering machine and I can't wait to find out what's in the crates.  

 

A double post today - Excellent.....I feel spoiled.  Thank you 

Hope your day was a wonderful one.

Bravo!  Another great chapter.  I love the thought of them being an extreme power couple.  It's fun to think of them running Kinnetik together.  I just love them.  Thanks for all the ups and downs this story has given me.  It keeps me entertained.

Reviewer: sandid Signed
Date: Jul 08, 2018 Title: Chapter 26: BECOMING KINNETIK (Part 2), A MOMENT OF EPIPHANY, A PLAN SET IN MOTION

OMG- I missed this chapter.  After I quit hypervenilating and could read it, I feel so much better.  hjahahhaha

Deb is gaining insight.  I never thought I'd see the day.  I'm rather happy about that.  I'm also happy that she seems to realize that a simple apology won't fix everything.  It's good that she is working on it for herself.  She certainly needs the insight and perspective.  Loved this part.

Michael....I loathe him.  He is beyond screwed up.  Mentally, emotionally, he is so off the rails.  I don't even know what I would do to him.  What would be enough?  I shall contemplate that. :)

As for Brian's speech at Kinnetik - oh, yes....I'm excited to begin, too.  He lit a fire.  Exciting times ahead.

Thanks, thanks, thanks.....

I'm thrilled that I did not need the brain bleach after reading the scene with Michael and Lance.  It actually struck me as funny in some respects.  I felt for Lance.  He certainly needed the brain bleach.  I was really rooting for him picking up the pillow.  Damn, I hold onto that thought.

 

Michael, Michael, what did you say to CPS?  Well, The three of them don't need one other thing, so I'm hoping whatever Michael said blows up in his face and doesn't amount to anything but pain for Michael.

What are you going to do now?  Can't wait to see.

Thanks again....



Author's Response:

LOL! Darling Sandy, try 'watching' as you're writing. Talk about willing your fingers to fly faster over the keyboard!!! LAWD HAM TURKEY it was scarier than any horror movie. We all know how I prefer to think of Michael as an asexual plant when it comes to the matters...LMAO

Michael's report to CPS will certainly have results he never anticipated. He should start hoping that the police find out it was him before Brian does.

Stay Tunued Darling!

HAPPY READING and HUGS,

Well that made my head spin.  So much going on.  Yummy.....

 

Michael is such an idiot.  He deserved being carted off by the police. Sadly, I was hoping for head FUCKING first down the stairs.  What?  A woman can dream.

 

 another exciting chapter.  You make me happy.

I've run out of things to say that I haven't said before.  I don't want you just hearing blah, blah, blah.  *sighs*

I'll just say that my heart speeds up each time I see you've made a new post.

I love reading these.  Thanks

I'm just dying to know.  Do you have a file with all the outlines for this story?  More likely a file cabinet.  How do you keep up?  I've found myself looking at previous chapters because I thought I remembered something and couldn't quit put my finger on it.  

You make my head spin.   In a good way.

 

These are so fun to read.

I love waking up and reading these early in the morning.

Mel on Brian and Justin's side is something I really do enjoy.  Who knew?

Of course Debbie is a zillion steps backwards sometimes.  Heck, she can't change overnight.  She's had years of reacting the old way.  People can change, but it takes time and effort.  

 

Thanks

You have to keep notes.....Again, I did not see that coming.

 

Love these.



Author's Response:

LOL! Hey Sandy! 

I'm so happy to be able to surprise you all. Believe it or not, I don't really keep notes unless I'm writing with Lorie, or until recently, other people. One would call me a free floater, and I guess that's true to a degree since I have the most primitive outline you can imagine. It actually looks something like this:

(1) Main characters

(2) Setting: Timeline and place of first scene ONLY

(3) What to accomplish in the first chapter/ introduce main conflict

(4) Grow the character throughout using subplots (to be determined later)

(5) Where do I want them to end up- Pittsburgh or Move on?

 

Ironically, it's the same format I use for every story, and nothing is actually filled in (hence the free flow vibe to my writing). Everything else that happens with in the story occurs organically, including the situations which serve to make every character's action and reaction as 'human' as possible. It's strange, and totally against the 'rules' of writing but I'm a rebel by nature so this works for me. 

HAPPY READING and HUGS,

~Nichelle

I don't think I was looking for a smoking hot display of public sex, but, I'll take it.  I know another perv.  hahahaha

 

 Good advice they gave Mel.  She deserves some fun and I bet the Dads would help out with Gus.

Michael is continuing his saga as the great dumbass of Liberty Avenue.  I guess now the correctional facility.  Go be the best you can be Mikey.

 

Now, I'm going to bed and dream of hot guy sex. 

 

Nighty night and I hope things continue to improve for you and your mom.

Wow!!!!! Who knew I could start to forgive Joan as well.  

I loved the way you wrote this.  It was just right.  I'm glad Father Tom and (I loved, loved loved you inserting Blake)  

Of course it will take time. Perhaps much time to fully forgive Joan.  This is a definite start.  She could actually find some joy in her life.  So could Brian.  A kind he's never known.  Perhaps.  But, at the very least finding some peace could be enough.  You made me feel that.  Thanks 

Great chapter

It occured to me much earlier that I should be keeping an outline.  Sometimes, I get lost.  hahahaha So much is happening my head can spin.

 

How on earth do you keep track? 

 

Have a great day, I'll be around waiting for another chapter. *grins*

Well now, that was another action packed chapter.  I'm glad the 'parents' are in custody.  Right where they belong.  

The kids are in good hands.  At least Jennifer is learning from past mistakes.  Just like the rest of us.

I really don't see how you keep up with all of this.  My head is spinning.  

I'm glad Lance' uncle clocked him with his briefcase.  Lance was trickier than I previously thought.

 

It made me so happy to see this post.  It's always good to see a post.  Thank you
