I am assuming the eraser was there to erase Evangeline and not to harm J/B-  what a crock those doctors were doing with their surgeries.  So glad Carl demanded Daph and Troy

Nichelle, the epiologue was very touching and really summed up the characters and what they have gained in life.  I hope all our lives are made better by the people in them ( without the drama of trying to be killed)-  great job on you first fanfic, first m/m and first etc.

Decided to reread this wonderful story-  Almost a comedy of errors-  Justin in Pittsburgh and Brian in New York-  then of course they bump into each other in the airport.

Great scene-  the passion and lust and love all come through.  Brian talks well with his body and Justin knows how to listen.  Now they have to talk when they are not joined in sex.

so many issues to deal iwth. Craig and Stockwell are so dangerous, but I wonder who Cynthia called  hope the Calvary will be there to watch over our guys.  Interesting to see what Gus and Lindsay will think about Justin coming back.

Loved this update.  Justin Gram is a hoot.   Shame Brian wasn't there.  I think they should go back soon with Brian in tow, not Emmett.

Author's Response:

Yes, as much as they are at odds with one another at this time. Brian still needs his best friend, or at least closer... Hugs Hon ~ Kathleen

Summary: Feature

Love this long and angsty series. It's a great post-513 read from an author that deserves a lot more attention - Tagsit

 

Brian uses his pain management techniques, but do they still work?

The smoke thing is really true.  I know that when my daughter comes home from dancing, she reeks but she is not as aware of the smell as we are since she has been smelling it on herself.

 

Mikey will always have a one track mind- Brian

Summary: Feature

I like how the author explores a different, softer, more openly emotional side of Brian after he's had an accident. Plus, LOTS of good sex scenes. LOL - Tagsit

It’s all gone in just moments; your life changes and there’s no going back. You’re no longer the person you thought you were; and you have no idea who you’ll become.

I know I've read this before and even commented on it, but wanted to read a great story and chose this one.  It did not disappoint.  Loved watching Brian changing and allowing Justin into his world.  There was no anymosity (sp) between the characters and most everyone was supportive.  I lvoe Gus in this fic too.  So glad this was listed as an admin favorite so I could find it easily to reread.  Since I've been reading fic for 15 years in this fandom, it is hard to remember all the fics.  Looking for recs is always a good place to start.

Ring of Truth Banner.jpg

Ow=  that hurts-   so sad that he won't tell Justin



Author's Response:

We all saw it in the series. How he really wanted to and just could not bring himself to do it. Writing this helped me to understand what was going through his head and why he didn't.

It makes watching that episode just a little bit easier for me.

Author's Response:

Lol. I could write more of a epilogue but it would be filled with more questions as you are.asking know. But I don't want anyone mad at me so i'll work.on writing more to the epilogue. But the sequel will have the answers and it will be the last in the series.

Thanks scarlet. Brian so obviously loved Gus even while he worried he would become Jack Kinney. I love exploring that side of him.
