so glad that they are finally seeing what Michael has done- now they just have to figure out how to talk to their spouses- of course, talk is only the first step- I'm still so loving this story
Date: Feb 09, 2018 Title: Chapter 44: STAYING or GOING: BOOK II: CHAPTER FOUR- PLAYING FOOL TO CATCH WISE
excellent update, as usual. The intricacies of their stories really come out. While I want everything to get back to normal, I love the way you weave the stories and really have the characters examine themselves. I can't wait for more updates.
Date: Nov 21, 2017 Title: Chapter 42: FIRE and ICE: BOOK II: CHAPTER 3
You have such great insight. Just love how Justin gave it to Michael and "Brian didn't fight him. Everyone has their secrets but it appears that they are all on boarc to discuss those with their partners. I know there is a lot of work ahead but I have lots of hope and Michael is a pain.
Date: Oct 19, 2017 Title: Chapter 37: FIRE AND ICE: BOOK II: CHAPTER TWO: ADORE
I know I just reviewed each chapter but wanted to add an overall view. I lvoe, love this story. It is a favorite of mine and I appreciate how long it takes to write Very fascisnating insight into all the characters and their motivations/
Date: Oct 19, 2017 Title: Chapter 37: FIRE AND ICE: BOOK II: CHAPTER TWO: ADORE
I love Drew and Emmett- Emmet is the gentle soul with the keen eye that everyone knows about but no one talks about. I hope they can figure this out- They both want it but need some clear understanding of each other's needs
Date: Oct 19, 2017 Title: Chapter 36: THE WIFE or THE MISTRESS: BOOK II: CHAPTER TWO: HE WON’T GO
Hopefully they both talk soon. It will devastate both of them if they start to use and they both could garner such support from their partner if they just admit it
Date: Oct 19, 2017 Title: Chapter 35: IN OR OUT : BOOK TWO: CHAPTER TWO: MY HAPPY ENDING
Ben should just leave- Michael is an ass- enough said
Date: Oct 19, 2017 Title: Chapter 34: STAYING OR GOING: BOOK II- CHAPTER 2: NO ORDINARY LOVE
Justin is hurting so badly and yet he has a love/hate situation with Brian at the moment. He doesn't want Brian's help, but yet he allows it as Brian is the only one that truly understands. I like that you started out with Justin admitting that he still lvoes Brian- I have hope
Date: Aug 05, 2017 Title: Chapter 32: FIRE AND ICE: BOOK II- CHAPTER 1
I really like hte eay you are delving into everyone's mind- I want eveyone to stop playing games and really talk to their partners and to not be afraid of losing Debbie's conditional love- I think they all have paid enough for that love- but especaily in their relationships
Date: Aug 05, 2017 Title: Chapter 28: BEFORE I LET GO: BOOK II- CHAPTER 1
can't beleive that I did not see this great update- I was just thinking of this story a few days ago- now I have another book to read- yeah- wishing Michael doesn't shw up, but know he probably will- hopefully all the guys realize what stupid and manipulative games he actually plays.

Nichelle
Great set of stories. I just caught up the last t. I'm happy to see everybody at least starting to think about a future. Jennifer was great giving Justin some kick in the ads. She loves and respects Brian and wants to see them happy. I must say I cheered when drew kicked Michael out. Can't wait for more

Date: Jun 30, 2017 Title: Chapter 21: FIRE AND ICE: CHAPTER 4
Loving this story- Just started reading it and am so tempted to skip forward and read what happens next for each couple, but have refrained. Now am all caught up- :-( and have to wait for an update. I dislike Mikey and hope Ben decides to leave. Of course, I want all the other couples to end up together, but they all have a lot of work to do. Can't wait for another chapter
Date: Sep 13, 2018 Title: Chapter 49: STAYING OR GOING: BOOK II: CHAPTER 5: THE FACTS OF LIFE EXPOSED Part 2
I am so proud of Brian for listening to Justin and for Justin guving him the chance to start again. I know they have a ways to go but it's a start. Great sto story.
Justin reflects back on his life, and his regrets…

I love the fantasy element that you have chosen to "redo" their mistakes- They do belong together
Author's Response: Sometimes it good to know what you've lost to really appreciate what you have. Thankfully they'll now have each other forever! Later Sweetheart ~ Kathleen

I'm throughly enjoying this story. Can't wait to see the reaction to the wedding. REally like that Debbie was there- and of course Gus.
Date: May 15, 2017 Title: Chapter 19: Chapter 19
so sad that Craig doesn't accept Justin but so glad that Jennifer and Brian support him. Can't wait to see how things progress with Gus being a big brother to their child

Thanks for a wonderful reunion story. Brian being the first to say he loves Justin is oh so wonderful and that they became friends first. I liked that. Going to find more of your stuff- really enjoyed this one
It's a different twist on how B/J met and the differences that follow. It's interesting how just one little change impacts the rest... -samcdee
On that fateful night when Justin stood under the lamppost and Brian took him home, what would have happened to them if events had not unfolded the way they did on the show?

Truly loved this AU. Brian's friend's are a pain, not believing that he can have a realtionship, but I loved the way you got them together and how Brian decided he was ready for Justin in his life.
Author's Response: Thanks so much. I love your comment. The believing part is the hardest.
Brian has not yet met Justin. He has other problems to deal with.

I really enjoyed this story. As someone who works with people with mobility impairments, I thought you did a great job in describing the barriers and challenges. I love that Justin didn't see the chair. Great job.
Author's Response: Thanks so much. I'm particularly pleased that you thought I got it right.
After Brian and Justin cancel the wedding, Lindsay and Michael try to persuade, or some would say bully, Justin into going and taking his chance in New York. Unfortunately for them, Brian has his own Cyrano to help him and Justin get to where they need to be.

great chapter. Michael and Lindsay really don't have a clue Glad that Gus got to spend the weekend with the people he liked.
Date: Dec 19, 2019 Title: Chapter 20: Impatience, Nerves, Envy and Rage
Great chapter- but I think Mel would try to insist that Brian and Justin have a little more decorum. Practically doing during the parental meeting is a bit much. I think that Brian would be okay doing a little teasing, but more should be held till later. Sure, he is pissing Mikey and LInds off, but by paying attention, they can't get on his case even more about his priority isn't Gus but getting off.

the picture of Lindsay in grease had me lol rolling on the floor. Loving all of it

I like the way that Justin let's Brian have space but also how Brian starts to analize his feelings. Should be interesting to see how Michael visit goes
Author's Response: You can probably tell it won't go well. LOL
