Honeycakes, I think you just reheated my COLD coffee with this update!!! WHOO! Hotness all throughout. YESSS! Aside from that, it was such a pleasure reading the family dynamic in the beginning and seeing Brian free to be his closet-romantic self. Great job!

Looking forward to MORE! Happy Writing and HUGS,

Chelle,

They need to have a hot honeymoon, it would be very boring if they didn't do what they do best.

They still have a lot to do on this trip.

Thanks

LMAO!!!! This chapter was so nice, I read it TWICE!! And laughed my ass of while doing it! I'm sitting here damn near choking trying to hold back the tearsand loud bark of hilarity thinking of the scene with the irate husband. I would feel sorry for the now-sexless bastard but I just don't have it in me. Karma truly is a bitch and he'd f*cked with her one too many times. Hell Daphne probably made friends with Karma and high-fived while watching the revenge play out LOL! 

As for another baby, I think it's a great thing! Brian and Justin have grown as men and as a couple with a lot of love to give. It's always wonderful to see them in their roles as fathers. Considering that both men had crappy dads, it would stand to reason that they were taughthow to be great dads in reverse.

BTW...have I mentioned how HOT last chapter was?! OMG, talk about having to cross my legs! Go Dom Justin!! Damn I love that blond boy in charge and I'm sure Brian does too!

Can't wait for MORE!! Happy Writing and HUGS,

~Chelle



Author's Response:

Chelle,

Happy to see that you are still enjoying this story. 

Curtis only got what he deserved.

Brian and Justin are proving that just because you have bad parents,(except for Jen) you can still be a great parent.

Brian and Justin are always hot, there is just no other way to write them.

Thanks

Hey Lorie,

First, thanks for the shout out! It was my absolute HONOR to have a bird's eye view during your continuation of this beautiully-crafted work. I'm looking forward to betaing for you again in the near future.

Secondly, I'm so PROUD of you for revisiting this story. Each addition just got better and better. Not a moment/ literary opportunity was wasted and by the end, I truly felt satisfied. That takes skill, since as an author I tend to be critical and picky, LOL. Anyway, this is one story I will read again!! 

Hugs, Love, Peace and Hairgrease!!

LOL!! Loved to see an update from you AND this picture at the end of it!! How adorable! Now for the story: I love that you gave Justin every possible reaction that we all tend to go through when faced with our significant other's Ex. I adored his shock at Brian not having a FB page...LOL OH the travesty! I'm glad that Daph agreed to come over and do what a best friend does- listen, tell him he's being an idiot and veg out with an endless supply of munchies. I'm also happy that Brian chose to personally disabuse Justin of some false notions running around in his head (I still want to kick Adam into the middle of another storyline, LOL). Now that Justin knows where he stands with Brian, they will be making some significant moves toward a relationship and the Freaky-Sneaky!! Can't wait for MORE!! 

Happy Writing and HUGS,

P.S. Be encouraged!! Believe it or not, sometimes having a bout of Writer's Block helps to renew an author's passion for it. Keep up the good work!!

So HAPPY to see the return of this!! I re-read everything from beginning to end and I must say, it's as engaging now as it was when I first read it! Brian and Justin are really taking me on an emotional rollercoaster ride. I LOVE Grandma Ann and I really want to beat the hell out of Craig but most especially Jennifer....smh Both are truly selfish. Even Jennifer wanting Justin's forgiveness is NOT about him but easing her troubled conscience. Well too fucking bad! She should have thought about her son instead of remaining loyal to that Drud-dealing Dickhead she was married to. Looking forward to MORE!!

Kindred Souls by Tagsit Rated: M half-star [Reviews - 76]
Summary:

Brian Kinney had a terrible childhood and a difficult, lonely life as an adult. Before the age of thirty he's already become so jaded that he doesn't believe in love or even in true happiness. After years of dealing with a dysfunctional family and an uncaring world, it seems like he's just about ready to give up completely. But, the guardian spirit that's been watching over him since Brian was a baby decides to save him, teaching him that true love does exist and that it can even transcend the laws of space and time.

Date: Mar 20, 2017 Title: Chapter 26: Chapter 25 - Frustration

Welcome back! And what a comeback it was! I wanted to punch the Munchers and Michael in their throats. It really is sad to see what they really think of Brian in their words and deeds. I kept thinking 'Oh my God, why does he keep holding onto these people?' I could definitely understand Justin's frustration because I felt it too.

He was finally getting Brian to the point where he was actually thinking about forging his own path and designing the life he wants to live, instead of living the one Lindsay and Michael wishes for him, and then Michael's incessant and know-it-all whine penetrates Brian's psyche and undoes all of Justin's hardwork. AAARGGGGHHHH!!! UGH! Why can't Michael just go find his own life? Brian is NEVER going to want him! He's too damn needy and sychophantic but also a controlling asshole who knows just how to play on Brian's insecurities. Brian really does NOT need Michael in his life. Friends are supposed to enhance life not drain the life out! 

As for Lindsay, she does the same but through faux flattery and obsequious behavior. She isn't a true friend either but a sponge who takes from him but never gives anything of real substance back. For all of Mel's idiotic (and untrue) pronouncements of Brian and his lifestyle, I can at least respect her honesty in her feelings. All she really knows of Brian is what she sees and hears from Michael and Lindsay, whose hero-worship and unrequited love cloud anyone's vision with their pathetic prose and heteronormative desires in Brian's direction. It really is sad that she- as a reasonably intelligent lawyer who is supposed to be able to discern between fact and fiction- has never taken the time to see beyond the myth that her blind partner and the imbecile who calls himself the best friend built, to see the man beneath the mask.

Justin has really got his work cut out for him, trying to undo the damage Michael and the Munchers have caused during this chapter. Poor thing!

Happy Writing and HUGS,

~Chelle 



Author's Response:

Looks like I really got to you with this chapter, huh? LOL. You know, I actually did a hella lot of psychology research for this story and this chapter was my attempt to put a lot of that into action. I think you can really see Brian's Avoidant Personality traits as well as the projection of both Michael and Lindsey. Or at least, that's what I was going for. And, now that my stage is all perfectly set up . . .  off to the resolution. Thanks for hanging in there on this story. TAG

Date: Mar 25, 2017 Title: Chapter 27: Chapter 26 - Interlude.

YAY!!!!! An update!! And a wonderful one at that! Brian and Justin getting closer is always a great thing. But damn Lindsay just barges in.... I wonder if this is getting Brian to see how invasive his friends are...SMH Anyway, I'm glad that Justin is there for Brian to speak positivity into him. If left up to those around him, I doubt Brian would hear a positive word unless they wanted something out of him. Justin is definitely showing Brian the difference between unconditional love and 'love' with conditions. I hope he remembers the lessons when Justin becomes solid again!

Happy Writing and HUGS,

Author's Response:

Thank you for reviewing, my friend. This damn WIP has been dragging along and chapping my ass for far too long. I'm so going to finish it. LOL. I totally agree with your take on this chapter though. If Brian didn't have Justin to support him, he probably wouldn't have made it this far. Now, how do I make Justin SOLID again? LOL. TAG

Reviewer: Nichelle Wellesly Signed
Date: Apr 11, 2017 Title: Chapter 29: Chapter 28 - Conjunction.

These last two chapters were lovely with their plotty goodness!! I really loved the way Jesse laid it all out for Brian. It gave a whole new meaning to the term "Out of the mouths of Babes." That young man shows more knowledge, wisdom and understanding than the supposed adults in Brian's life. I'm also glad he talked Brian into donating for the baby. 

The hotel scene and every scene thereafter with only B&J was HOT!! YAY! They finally did the dirty! So worth the wait. If only they could have stayed there and blocked out the rest of the world for awhile longer...

I am so damn TIRED of Michael, Ted and Emmett! Even if Mel doesn't know any better and is acting predominantly out of spite and jealousy, the guys should know Brian better than that. Out of all of them, HE is the most successful, the most self-assured and the most respected. Yet when it comes to the three of them, they concentrate solely on Brian's perceived faults. My GOD! How I wish Justin had succeeded in kicking the legs of that whiny, judgmental, jealous, obsequious, vicarious-living little bastard's chair from underneath him!!!! That mangy mutt Michael really needs to be punched in the throat. Please get Brian away from all of them but especially from HIM and his toxic influence! *throwing tantrum NOW*

Happy Writing and HUGS,

Date: May 15, 2017 Title: Chapter 31: Chapter 31 - Progenitorship.

Poor Jessie. I want to kick Four's ass for him! I can understand wanting a son to be a success but that's not measured by how much of an extention he can be of his father. What an ASSHOLE! I mean seriously...if Brian had gone down the same road as Jack's underachieving ass...SMH I shudder to contemplate what he would have become.

As for Michael, where is a good cannon when one is needed? He should be shot out of one to land on an uninhabited island far from civilization with only his own voice and thoughts for company. He is a danger to sanity! What's always pissed me off about his character is that for such an authority on everyone else and how they should live their lives, he's another underachiever with entirely too much time on his hands and way too many opinions. What's more infuriating is that during the scope of his character, he wanted nothing more than a promotion at the Big Q or to indulge in his favoite hobby of Comic Books. Yet he has the temerity to think he knows Brian's hopes, dreams and aspirations? Really dude?!

Unfortunately, Brian allows the unfounded, unsolicited ramblings of the jerk to penetrate his brain. It's sad really that Brian lacks so much confidence in directing his personal life. Instead of listening to naysayers who can barely tie their own shoes without be told, he absorbs their low opinions of him. Or more accurately, he takes in their low wishes for him and decides to live by them. It's as if since Michael doesn't try to achieve anything worth having, Brian shouldn't try to either. In this case, it's fatherhood. If only Brian could apply the same determination he has to get ahead in business to his life outside of the boardroom, I think Brian would be a much happier person.

Great chapter and looking forward to MORE!

Happy Writing and HUGS,

Author's Response:

I always love reading your insightful reviews, Chelle! In this case, I think agree with you all around. My underlying point was to show how insecure Brian is behind the mask of invicibility he wears. The scared, abused little boy that hids behind the bravado. This is the story of how he got that way. Thanks for reading, glad you're enjoying it. TAG

Summer of Sin by Tagsit Rated: M half-star [Reviews - 77]
Summary: Feature

The reason I picked Summer Of Sin for my admin pick is partly because it is so well written and the other reason is that the amazing Tagsit invited readers to come watch her write and maybe join in. I was curious, so I started watching her write. Then she would chat with those of us that had joined in getting ideas and suggestions. At one point she asked me why I didn't write my own stories, I said because I couldn't. She gave me the encouragement to try and now I love writing. Through her I have met some really great people. Enjoy the Summer Of Sin - Lorie

Summer of sin - tekst.png

Brian, who’s in need of money with which to start his own ad agency, takes Ted up on a chance to appear as a contestant in a reality show the ‘Internet Porn King’ is producing on his website. The only catch is that all the participants will be naked for the duration of the competition. Brian Kinney doesn’t think being confined to a house full of naked, horny men for the Summer will be difficult, but is he really ready for the challenges he’ll face in this lustful and raunchy game? What if one of the challenges is a very young and very inexperienced Justin Taylor? Let the games begin!

Excellent job, Rody!! So sad to see the story end here but B & J are eternal in whatever verse they turn up in. I'm glad that you stuck to YOUR story regardless of the feedback. If you hadn't the story wouldn't have been as effective or memorable as NYSoM (and the others in this verse) is. This will definitely be one of those fics that I read over and over again. You always put so much detail into the story that I always feel like I've missed something and feel compelled to read it again and again until I catch every nuance of your storytelling. Continue to grow in your gift Darling and to hell with the naysayers! Use them as motivation, if anything at all. Those of us who love your work will continue to take the journey with you!

Congrats on finishing yet another fascinating tale!!

I really hope they get it together soon...smh It breaks my heart to see Justin in such an insecure state regarding Brian. And although Brian is adhering to Justin's order of staying away, it is gratifying to know that he's determined to woo him this time- even if it's secretly at first. I really like this new approach for Brian. Maybe being in New York could mean the start of a new beginning for Brian and Justin's relationship! 

Happy Writing and HUGS,

So HAPPY that Justin finally came into his own and is listening to his own heart. I might not be happy that it took a confrontation with Evan to bring it about but I can understand why it did. Sometimes, in real life, we have to take the message being delivered and disregard where or who it comes from to see us become better human beings. I applaud your efforts in the way that was represented.

Furthermore, I am enjoying this tale over and above what I thought I initially would- and that's saying a lot. I always enjoy your work but this is showing your growth as a storyteller. Keep up the GREAT work, Rody!

Happy Writing and HUGS,

Okay.... so I'm now sitting at my workstation in this god forsaken building grinning like a damn fool!! At first you had me worried about Brian turning into a lesbian, LOL but thankfully Justin put a stop to it thus saving his sanity and mine, LOL! I really think that they need to have a long overdo conversation about Evan- what actually happened in Brian's mind to go from no to yes so quickly- but I think that can wait a little while longer. First they need to reestablish their connection so that they will FINALLY 'hear' each other again. I know that Brian won't be able to stop working with Evan but how will Justin take that? Great job putting this 'somewhat' back to rights...

Happy Writing and HUGS,

Hehehe!

I couldn't turn Brian into a cwazy lezzy. :)) We'd leave that title for the munchers.

Yes, there has to be a conversation about Evan. I'm not so sure where I'll include it (here, or in the compaion story), I skimmed over it in the next chapters, focusing on the happy times.

Thank you for the lovely reviews. I know how hard it is to keep up with stories when you have your own to write. :)

This spin-off from New York State of Mind is about discovering and understanding Evan Steele. Is he really the Devil? Is there more to him than his cunning nature? What are his feelings about the trip to Miami?  If you didn't read New York State of Mind, this might not make sense.

Lawd Ham Turkey!! Evan is the MOST frustrating piece of ....man I have read in a long time! And whereas I feel for Brian, I still want to bite him in the kneecap! It takes me back to Justin saying to Brian in the series, "The only one who never broke a promise is you," and then he goes and breaks not only one but THREE of them. <insert deep sigh here> I'm really trying to be sympathetic to Brian's wants and needs as far as branching out Kinnetik but this thing with Evan... I just don't see how it could get any better for Brian and most especially NOT Justin. 

In mourning (and hoping it's temporary) for the B and J show,

I'm not totally against Brian and Evan having a friendship as long as it's within the context of business. However, if Evan can't respect the boundaries then he needs to remain part of Brian and Justin's history.

I now get why Evan pursued Brian so hard even though I still kinda hate him for that. It's easy to sympathize with him in that context because of how women tend to be treated when they reach a certain age. Many are traded in for the 'trophy' wife who is younger, thinner or whatever else men might deem more attractive. Nevermind that the first wife was there behind his back, holding him up when he failed and helping to shape the man into who he may have become... That kind of reasoning makes someone like Evan more human and again, I have to applaud your efforts as a terrific storyteller because of it!

Happy Writing and HUGS,
