Brian and Justin live in different worlds. Brian is still based out of Pittsburgh, while Justin is in New York. Yet, they still have a great deal in common. Both are successful...both are respected in their fields...both are wealthy...both feel like they should feel on top the world….and...both feel like there is something missing in their life. It’s been five years since they have seen each other. Will a chance meeting bring them together, or will they remain as far apart as ever?

Summary:

Brian has been known to throw his friends off that now famous cliff, always with the best of intentions, but leaving the other party with absolitely no control in the matter. As much as I LOVE Brian, I thought perhaps he should feel the pain of being pushed off that cliff, with all the angst and heartache that accompanies the leap.

Kindred Souls by Tagsit Rated: M half-star [Reviews - 76]
Summary:

Brian Kinney had a terrible childhood and a difficult, lonely life as an adult. Before the age of thirty he's already become so jaded that he doesn't believe in love or even in true happiness. After years of dealing with a dysfunctional family and an uncaring world, it seems like he's just about ready to give up completely. But, the guardian spirit that's been watching over him since Brian was a baby decides to save him, teaching him that true love does exist and that it can even transcend the laws of space and time.

I loved this series and must admit I am one of those fans who is saddened that it has ended -I truly would be very happy to continue reading much much more. If not an epilogue maybe a sequel one day, just to show us how the family and Kinnetik are faring in the future?  Can't wait for your next/new story:-)



Author's Response:

Thank you so much. I'm thrilled that you enjoyed my story. I'm a little sad to see it over too. And yes, I can see a possible sequel too - that's one of the reasons I'm leaving it where I did, so that all that twins goodness can be dealt with in the next story. Hope to see you there when I figure out what that plot will be. Thanks for reading. TAG

Summary: Feature

Even though they have their ups and downs, Brian and Justin always find their way back to each other. They are ready to take on the world! -mamaduck

Sequel to Time's Up Volume I: It's Only Time

After ten years, Brian and Justin are still meeting in secret. Now one is ready to make things permanent while the other...Hmm- not so much. It will ultimately come down to hard choices, sacrifices and what's more important: everlasting love or freedom? And how will secret and not-so-secret enemies affect their decision?

This made me feel sad, remembering those devastating scenes once again. What makes it so sad to me is that Brian didn't seem capable himself of recognising his ability to love and how often he acted on the love he felt for Justin, Gus and his friends. This was a hard time to watch them go through and you have captured the emotions exactly.

I really liked this. I know it was a "Holidays" story but I was really holding out for Michael and Lindsay to finally get their comeuppance. I have never understood how Ben tolerated Michael - I know they say love is blind, but deaf and self-sacrificing too? Ben puts up with way too much.

This story really struck a chord with me, I felt like I was immersed in the series again.  I only wish you would continue it and rewrite some of the wrongs that disappointed us all as our beloved tv series continued. I really like the path Brian and Justin are on in this, and their evolving relationships with the "family".



Author's Response:

Thank you. 

I think that there were so many opportunities that the writers/ producers ignored in favor of a sort of points scoring. This chapter was an early attempt to explore some of the options.

The show could have so easily taken this route. Still plenty of angst and fear but clearly many of us thought Brian and Justin had progressed to the point where it simply seemed ridiculous that Brian would want to, or even be able to, hide this from Justin. Love your version.
