Wonderful chapter. Fantastic writing. I recognize the Pittsburgese as we call it here where I live about 30 miles from the Pitts. In addition to Yinz we have Younz, but one of my all time favorites is "jeet" which translated means "did you eat" and the Pgh. answer is no "ju" which is "no did you". Just a little trivia for you. Love the story. Happy Halloween to you.
Author's Response:
Uh-oh. You've told me you live near Pittsburgh. That means I can hit you up for advice in the future :D
Thank you for sharing some of your favorite Yinzer-speak :) You can bet those'll show up in my stories :)
Your comments are much appreciated, as always. Happy Halloween - just a tad belated - to you.

Great chapter. You always write so well. Can't wait for the next one. Love that it was a story of Brian, Gus & Mel. A nice twist of plots.
Author's Response:
Oops! I'm finally getting around to responding to reviews and just realized I started with the most recent ones for this chapter.
Thanks for the lovely compliment about my writing, Marilynne. :) It always makes me feel good when some says I write well.
As you know by now, it was only the first chapter that concentrated on Brian, Gus, and Mel. There may be more of them in the future, though. A sequel of sorts is in the works, but it probably won't be out before the holidays next year. Just couldn't manage it in time for Thanksgiving this year.
I'm thrilled you enjoyed my twist on what might've happened post-canon.

Fantastic story. Love the banner. Thank you for the only Halloween story posted today. WONDERFUL writing. Hope you had a nice Halloween.
Author's Response:
Thank you for all the lovely comments, Marilynne :) Gladly accepted.
It's rare that I manage a story for a particular holiday; I'm glad I could carry it off this time. I have a sequel started that was intended for Thanksgiving, but I just couldn't manage it this year. Next year, though! Stay tuned.

As the title says: This is it! The Wedding :)
This one will be a lot shorter than the previous fics in this universe and there will be a lot less angst. As the title says, this is about their wedding and I think we can all agree that they deserve a happy, angst-free wedding, right?!?

Great update. It is tough, but each in their way is coming to terms with what happened. How dare Louisa think she could take Lily from her father. Was told once that if you want to bring out the worst in people, have a wedding or a funeral and have seen it happen many times. Fantastic writing.
Author's Response:
Large family get togethers with a bunch of stress involved are the worst, so I can totally see funerals and weddings bringing out the worst in people. Louisa definitely needs to respect Brian if she wants to continue being in Lily's life. She is hurting and she feels immense guilt, but she can't go about it this way. Thanks for reading! Chapter 9 is now up!
