I understand your pain and feel it too.  WE must ensure that all americans continue to have and enjoy the freedoms that this country was founded on- religious freedom and tolerance-  we must not move backwards and continue to recognize that sexual freedom, religious freedom, and racial freedoms are all essential to our country and its success



Author's Response:

So many want to 'go back' and that's not even possible philosophically. The genies are out of the bottles on those things. But physically, legally, socially?? Yeah, it could happen. So we grieve and we cry and then we battle on.

In the words of a a very wise woman -- "We can mourn the losses because they are many, but celebrate the victories because they are few."

Battle on.

Summary:

Brian realizes he wants more than a reputation. He meets an artist in New York and finds what he was looking for.

 

Justin didn't grow up in Pittsburgh but New York, where he meets Brian.

 

None of the events in cannon that involve Justin happened to him.

I've read some of your more current work so decided to check out some of your older stuff, only to realize I had read quite a bit of it.  Found this story and enjoyed it.  Light with some angst, but not really.  VEry anti- Michael and Lindsay which is fine with me as I don't like either of them.  Enjoyed the story

Seeing Clearly by Thyme Rated: M starhalf-star [Reviews - 32]
Summary:

Sequel to Blinded.  Because Gale seems to have changed a lot since his accident, I wondered what would happen to Brian after his crack on the head in Blinded.  This story deals with that scenario.  Written for Rory who bid on a story for the Help-Haiti project.

I remember reading the first story years ago, but never read this one.  I liked the changed Brian and alternate universe.  Brian is OOC but still he loves Justin, just not afraid to show it.

another great chapter-  Jennifer was such a bitch-  glad Debbie got her to change her mind.  Brian and Horvath-  glad that Brian knows he gave Justin his rucksack- makes Brian a little more forgiving-   Interesting converstion with Smthye but still don't trust him

 

I feel so badly for Justin and for all kids that are bullied-  it really is bad when the administration doesn't support the student-  lots more to read-  just so little time



Author's Response:

Thanks for leaving another review, Sandy. We're glad to hear from you here or on AO3. :)

Debbie makes the best surrogate mom ever. She was pretty clever in the way she persuaded Jennifer to cough up Justin's birth certificate.

That makes two of you since Brian doesn't trust Smythe either. :)

It is absolutely horrible that many kids are bullied for one reason or another. Too often, bullying goes unreported or unresolved, either for fear of retaliation and/or indifference on the part of school administrators.

You'll catch up with us eventually; we've just started working on chapter 22.

-  I smell trouble-  the copy took him home today-  but I'm worried.  Brian needs to step up before something bad happens



Author's Response:

We're all worried about our favourite blond, but fortunately, Justin has all sorts of people looking out for him.

Real life got in the way of writing the last couple of weeks, but we're working on the next chapter now and hope to post it soon. In the meantime, a teaser is available in the FanDoc. :)

Thanks for commenting, Sandy!

darn-  not the first to review-  great sex scene -  love the playfullness between Brian and Justin

 

gag every time another pet name comes up between Michael and Dr Dave - and I just hate that Brian or anyone is not putting Michael in his place when he just blasts Justin with all that mean spirit.

 

Liked that Ted talked to Brian- now Brian has to get over himself and talk to Justin



Author's Response:

We're made up that our readers want to be the first to review. :D

The two of us had fun writing that opening scene competition between Justin and Brian; both men won in the end. :D

Imagine having Dr Dave and Michael whisper those pet names into your ear - we can't escape! LOL

We're doing our best to nudge Brian toward Justin.

Thanks for commenting, Sandy. :) We're writing away on the next chapter.

Been super busy lately and finally catching up.  Brian, Brian, Brian-  he needs to get his head out of his ass and tell Justin he was wrong.  Mickey hitting on Ben-  oh so wrong.  Hope Justin figures out he can't really burn the candle at both ends without crashing.  If he is about to crash, I hope Brian is there to catch him.



Author's Response:

We know all about the struggle to find tme to read and review, lol. We're glad you're still enjoying our story, Sandy. :)

Both of the boys are a mite stubborn, so it may be a bit of a contest as to which one comes to their senses first. :D We'll have to see what happens.

Have you managed to forge your way through chapter 31 yet? We rather outdid ourselves with the length of that one. No, Brian, we're not talking about inches...

I've been alternating reading this excellent story on three sites so my reviews are all over the place.  Anyway, gives us a back story for Lindsay but I've always felt that Gus was her way to keep Brian in her life.  Brian is not sorry he has Gus but I do believe he is sorry that Lindsay is his mom.  It would be interesting to see a story where Gus was not LIndsay's.  Anyway, I digress.  Glad LIndsay is realizing she can't have Brian but I hope she improves her relationship with him as he will be around for a long time since he is Gus's dad.



Author's Response:

Yeah, I would like her to get her act together, Brian doesn't need to lose another friend.

Thanks!

Summary: Feature

This is such a wonderful story that leaves you wanting more. I loved every minute of watching Brian's masks slip away as he accepted his love and appreciation for Justin. It was also great seeing Brian discover he had members of his own family looking out for him. His Aunt and Uncle just accepted him no questions asked, and they respected Brian and Justin as a couple.  So much happens in this story that I believe makes Brian and Justin into the couple they were meant to be - SunshineSally

An AU season 3 post-finale story.

This was a wonderful story.  I loved every minute of watching Brian's masks and shields fall away as he accepted his love for Justin.  I loved his aunt and uncle and how they accepted him and Justin.  I think moving the venue to California helped make Justin and Brian into the couple they were meant to be.  Excellent job.

When Brian Kinney was fired from Ryder's advertising agency after being accused of sexual harassment, he never would have imagined becoming an escort. However, learning that his son was seriously sick wasn't part of his plans either.

Glad that Brian is able to donate-  lots of confidentiality breach here- but poetic license is allowed-  I'm pleased that lindsay and Mel are suportive of brian's relationship of Gus-  very happy taht Brian is still around with Justin after the surgery.  Hope the surgery is a success- would love to see Brian go back to something other than escort and they build their own relationship



Author's Response:

Brian is Gus's best shot, so let's hope everything works until the end. Brian and Justin are in a very good relationship right now and we agree it would be great if Brian could quit escorting at some point. We will have to wait and see :)

Thank you for your never ending support, Sandy!

A very warm-hearted thank you to Predec2, who made this amazing banner !!!

 

Thank you so much !!!

Happily living their lives together with both success, fame and with children around them, Brian and Justin Kinney were in their own words 'living the life of great homosexuals', when a car accident changes their lives.

Now, they are back to the beginning where Brian, the ultimate asshole ad executive, and Justin, the blonde twink stalker. did not meet each other yet. This is the story of what these partners will do to make sure that they really have 'no regrets' in their lives and to avoid the mistakes they made in the way.
