Lindsay is a conniving bitch and she really has no respect for Brian. Serves her right to be in jail for trying to run his life and make it the one she wants not the one Brian wants or deserves. Michael, is as always a whining, baby who pitches a fit just like a two year old when he doesn't get his way. So sad that he is going to take Debbie down with him. Hopefully , she will wise up before it is too late, but I don't think she will.
Brian and Justin made plans. They were going to travel for the first six months of the year ending up celebrating Brian's 60th birthday in Australia. While they are away, the family continues to grow and expand. Nothing can bring down the Taylor- Kinney empire, can it?

great start to another story in the universe. Can't wait to read more. I'm worried about Seth and Gus- hope it is not a forewarning of things to come.
Author's Response:
Hope to have the last chapter up tonight. My Beta was on vacation over Christmas so she has had lots of reading to catch up. #12 is started.
Brian and Justin slipped away for a much needed rest after Brian and his Great Nephew finished their courtcase. It had been far to long since Brian and Justin got away but it isn't the get away they hoped for. While they are at the villa in Ibiza, Brinn is struggling with her pregnancy and Gus is just struggling.
Gus has put Shelby through a lot in the past. Will he push her too far this time?

Hopefully there is something the surgeon can do for Justin. Gus handled the information about Shelby well, but I wonder if Shelby will handle Trenton? Great chapter.
Author's Response:
I am having fun with this one. Glad you are enjoying it.
Date: Apr 21, 2020 Title: Chapter 14: Chapter 14
So sad for Trenton and I see Shelby understands Gus. Glad that Brian convinced Justin to have the surgery. I'm worried about Eliott and Danny. Having children is something that couples talk about before marriage not afterward. Hopefully, they can figure it out.
After Justin moves out in season five, Brian overhears something alarming while eavesdropping on the gang gossiping at the diner. This prompts him to take pre-emptive action at Justin's new apartment. Will he be happy with what he discovers?

I laughed- something I haven't done in a while- thank you- loved Brian breaking into Justin's apartment- and the picture of him not wanting to touch anything was very well done
Author's Response:
Wow! That's quite the compliment - that I made you laugh. I'm thrilled I could make that happen.
Brian's such a B&E expert, right? 😠Only in his dreams... He got what he really wanted, though, so maybe he's not so bad a burglar after all.
Thanks so much for leaving a review, Sandy. 🤩 It's much appreciated!

What a cliffhanger!!! Brian better be alright. This has me on the edge of my seat. Hoepfully you will be updating soon- like tomorrow.
Justin will feel really guilty if something happened to Brian and he was not there. He will never forgive himself. Hopefully, Shelby will be okay too.
Author's Response:
It will be a little bit before the next chapter. I am going to finish my second story this weekend and then I will focus solely on this one. Glad you like it.
Date: Jun 08, 2020 Title: Chapter 7: Chapter 7
thank you for the update. So glad that Brian was okay. It was great that Trenton stayed with Gus' kids all day. Gus is going ot need him if Shelby is injured. The dynamics of the family will change and it will tear Gus and Trenton too. I'm enjoying the story alot.

So happy to see that Hannah is safe and that Elliot finally told Danny about his past. Worried about Shelby and what that will do to their marriage. Trenton is a good friend.
Date: Jul 04, 2020 Title: Chapter 14: Chapter 14
So excited to see an update so soon. I hope Trenton can keep Gage away. George and Sam- interesting combo- I love how you give an update on all the characters.
Author's Response:
The family has gotten so large I feel like I have to keep updating. I think this family will be riding off into the sunset soon but I think they will always be my favorite.
Date: Jul 22, 2020 Title: Chapter 17: Chapter 17
Glad you are feeling better. Great chpater. I could feel the love between Gus and Trent. Interesting to see Gage wathcing his fathers- Sam and George having a baby- wonder what Sam's secret is?
Justin just wanted to try a night out at a different club. He didn't expect it to make him question his whole relationship with Brian.

This was such a fun story to read. I'm in need of laughter and lightness and this was great.
Why did Brian leave the loft door open at the end of 3.04? Was it an invitation or did Brian innately sense something special was about to happen? Let's find out...

If only this was how it was portrayed. Brian and Justin together is how it should always be. I enjoyed the one shot.
Author's Response:
I wish it could have gone like this too. I think it could have, but I guess they wanted to prolong it. Nothing is ever right until there's a Brian/Justin reunion. I'm glad you liked it. Thanks for reading and commenting. :)
What if Brian had taken the job in New York in season 1? After three years in New York, Brian returns home to Pittsburgh to find that things and more importantly people have changed.
This was one of my first attempts at fan fiction and I am not 100% happy with it. Still I decided that some people might like and appreciate it anyway.

I just wanted to drop a note and say I'm really enjoying the story. I lvoe that Brian finally told Justin he loved him. I can't wait to see Justin start doing his art again.
Author's Response:
I am glad you enjoy the story :) Thanks for letting me know!
More will be up soon :)

exactly what I wanted to see and read tonight- fluff without angst- great job
Author's Response:
Thanks! I'm glad this was the right fit for you on this night. I don't write much like this anymore, but I did enjoy writing it then.
Thanks for your comment. :)
Justin's desperate for a bit of freedom, but it all hinges on an important test. On the other side of town, Brian's having a bad day, which leads him to the same place as Justin. What happens when they encounter each other?
or...
What if the sighting under the lamppost wasn't actually the first sighting? ;)

Fun little story- I enjoyed the details- I could really picture the DMV and the road.
Author's Response:
Thank you, Sandy! 😘 I'm thrilled you enjoyed this story. I'm pleased the details helped you picture the action at the DMV and on the road.
Btw, I'm really enjoying your current WiP, which I've been reading on AO3, even if I've been horribly remiss about leaving comments. #BadKarynn You're much more prompt with updates than I am with Tricky Business. I am working on the next TB chapter, though, and hope to (finally!) get it out in the next week or so.

Justin tells Lindsey off and doesn’t go to New York after he realizes that it was Lindsey pushing Brian for him to go. Michael is next on his list.

I enjoyed the story. Was this a sequel to another story. There were characters that I thought I should know but couldn't remember where I had read about them- Justin's uncle and some others come to mind.
Author's Response: I used the uncle's in Blossoming Friendship.
Brian and Justin have come a long way. They met back on the streets of NYC. They had a family and made lifelong friends. They lived and nearly died together more than once but overall it was a long happy life. The final chapter of Can’t Do Life Without You has our favorite couple enjoying their senior years with their family in their favorite place, the vineyard. (Don’t worry, Brian and Justin will be happy and healthy at the end of the story. Ch. 16) If you choose to read the epilogue there will be a death of a Major Charactoer.

Author's Response:
Trenton and Gus belong together as much as Shelby does, although he still knows his family always comes first.

Great ending. I hope that when it is my time, I will be surrounded by family like Brian and Justin. Hopefully you will continue to write about our favorite two men in a different universe.
Author's Response:
I have a short started and a couple series already in play. I am so glad you enjoyed the story.

Well worth the wait. I was so excited to see a new chapter. Your characters are so vivid and jump off the pages of the story. I can jsut see the reunion with Ezra and his parents and can really visualize Mason too. The pain is so raw with the characters too. Great job. Looking forward to more.
Author's Response:
I'm so glad you are enjoying the new characters and feel like everyone is multi-dimensional. :) Thanks for reading and reviewing! New chapter is now up!

Great ending. Im happy taht Dak did not want custody once he learned that Aiden was sick. Very cool about Molly gettng married and being pregnant.
I bet there are lots of things we don't know about Brian and Justin, and I'm sure some of it might surprise us.

I would think another idea would be Brian cooking some fancy dish- Brian historically doesn't cook, but he learned to make one fancy dish for whatever reason you decide.
Justin is afraid of dogs or maybe Brian is-
Brian knows how to Scottish dance- mom made him take lessons when he was young
