I May be way off base here.....BUT I am thinking that Brian did not “imagine” sex with Justin. I’m thinking that good ole Mikey came in the loft, saw how high Brian was and took his opportunity. I know I’m thinking very diabolically, but I am not a Mikey fan. So my mind immediately went there lol. I guess we will see what really happened with the next chapter. Great writing. I love this story.
Author's Response:
That's certainly a unique theory. :D You'll just have to keep reading to find out what happens. :D
Thanks so much for leaving a review. :) We're made up that you're enjoying our story. Real life has delayed us - again, dammit! - but we should have a teaser for the next chapter up soon.

I just wanted to tell you that I not only love these stories but ALL of them! I love how for once Brian has to own up to how he treats Justin because of Michael and Deb. Don't get me wrong, I love Brian, but too many stories are about Justin just accepting how Brian treated him (and how Brian let Deb and Michael not only treat Justin, but Brian himself) because of his childhood. There are lots of people who had messed up childhoods for one reason or another. It doesn't mean that how you treat people gives you free reign to be a jerk. Anyway thanks for sharing your wonderful imagination with me. I hope you never loose your muse.
Mystic is a small village near the ocean, which makes it the perfect romantic getaway. Justin takes Brian on a holiday where they have an appointment with a couple therapist to rekindle the fire. Brian is all against it. Justin is at the end of his patience. Their marriage is in shambles. Their therapist does his best to salvage their relationship and remind them all the reasons they fell in love with each other.

Wow, I'm completely loving this story. I also 100% agree with everything Nochaser said as well as your responses back to her! I love Brian as well, BUT in my opinion, he totally abused Justin. Emotionally and mentally. As Nochaser said, you can understand Brian's actions but there is no excuse. If anything, you would think that he wouldn't WANT to do anything to someone else, especially someone he cares about, that was done to him. He KNOWS what that feels like. He wanted to give up Gus because he was worried that he would become Jack and abuse him. When in reality he was already acting like both Jack (in his verbal abuse to Justin) and Joan (in his indifference to everything). I just have a hard time with him not realizing he acting like both his parents. Please don't misunderstand me, I am far far from a Brian hater, I absolutely love Brian and want to help "the little sad boy inside him" and show him that love is okay. BUT, that doesn't mean I condone how he talks and acts. Thank you so much for this wonderful story, and I look forward to reading more!! Patty
Author's Response:
I agree 100%. I love the character of Brian; he's interesting, and complex and has the capacity to love deeply and strongly, but he was a total prick. He allowed his childhood to dictate who he became - I remember reading a fic a while ago, and in it, Justin said to Brian, if you don't want to be like your parents - then don't be. Circumstances only dictate a section of our lives - choice dictates the rest. And as Justin said in this particular fic - his father (Craig) was a prick, and he chose not to be like his father.
That really struck a chord with me.
So thank you for reading, Patty, and for taking the time to leave me a review. I'm really glad you are enjoying this. xx

Welcome back! I absolutely love this story. So glad that you are able to write again. Life is very hectic and I appreciate that you found time to update. I will always wait for you to write this story. Good luck in your life and happy writing!
Author's Response:
Thanks, hon.
Justin and Brian meet while Justin works for him. Brian ends up continuing to see Justin after and wants more than the occassional hook-up.

Absolutely loved this story. Brian was definitely correct that he should have put Michael in his place a long time ago.
Post 5-13. Brian ends all contact with Justin from one day to the other and Justin has no idea why. After five years in New York he returns to Pittsburgh and goes looking for answers that are long overdue. His whole life will be changed forever when he finally gets the answers he has been looking for.

You know, there are tons of stories out there that Brian pushes Justin away while he is in New York for the sake of his "career". Those were possible for Brian to redeem himself somewhat. However, keeping Justin's SON from him is completely NONredeemable. He will never get those "firsts" back (steps, words, etc). His own child doesn't even know him. Oh I guess they showed pictures, but that doesn't mean anything to a child that young. Of all people, Brian should KNOW how Justin is feeling. He missed so much with Gus, but that was HIS choice. He did not give Justin a choice. I really hope it doesn't come down to Lindsay and Melanie threatening to take Gus away if they told Justin....if so, then Brian picked one child over the other...unacceptable!!! As for Jennifer, blackmail my ass...one of the times she planning on having Luke, she could have had Justin plan to come home first. Brian could not have left then for Justin would have found him. I think she wanted to be a grandma too much and she was looking for anyway to get it. I say Justin kicks Brian's ass out of Britain sine it is HIS house and raises Luke there. That way, Luke is in familiar surroundings. Unfortunately, for Luke's sake, he can't sue for full custody, but he certainly can for shared custody. Brian is the only Dad Luke knows at this point. Grrrr just pisses me off. I agree with everyone else, that there is no way back from this for any reconciliation between B&J. I also say, Justin should kick everyone who knew out of his life permanently!!! I also want to tell you that I love your writing style and thanks for sharing your story.
Author's Response:
Thanks so much for sharing your feelings on my little story - I really appreciate it and it makes me so happy that so many people get so emotional over it :)
As for what Justin will do: We'll see in upcoming chapters once he has calmed down a bit and really wrapped his head around the fact that he is a father and has a son, but like you mentioned: Brian is the only father that Luke knows. Would Justin go and destroy that in his thirst for revenge on Brian and his mother? We'll see *evil grin*
As for Gus, Lindsey and Melanie: There is a whole story there and it is connected to Luke's existence, but it's not what you fear. Brian did not choose one son over the other. We might think very badly of him, but he wouldn't do that :(
Date: Jul 30, 2018 Title: Chapter 15: Chapter 15
Jennifer is full of BS. What is Brian the CIA and would know if Jennifer told Justin to come home. No way. She could have told him not to tell Brian and paid for him to come home and then hid him at her house when Brian was bringing Luke over. Also when Lindsay and Michael tried to kidnap Luke brian could have used Justin's help then to prove who both fathers were. You know, I love a good AU story, but in the end this is about QAF and B/J's love story. At least in my opinion. Most people look at tags in the fanfics to decide if a certain story is their "cup of tea". You have Brian and Justin tagged as a pairing and angst with a happy ending. I'm all for angst as long as I know they will be happy AND together in the end. However, you have eluded on some comments that there will be a "happy" ending just that what constitutes one happy ending isn't someone else's. As a writer you can and should certainly write whatever you want to write. BUT as a reader we are given the same choice. That is why there are tags and/or a writer can put a note in the summary to explain. IMO I can't help but feel deceived but the Tags. B/J are not a pairing in this story and your references to happy endings hint that they will not be together either. I don't know how they could ever be together in this universe. I have certainly read many stories post 513 about the "Kinney cliff" for Justin's career, but they were believable and brian was redeemable. Maybe if it wasn't almost 6 years and EVERYONE except Emmett betrayed Justin it would be more believable.
I'm not trying to criticize at all. Your writing is superb! I know from reading the comments that others agree with me. Had I had an idea what this really about with the tags or an author's note in the beginning, I never would have read this story. I'm sorry if I am sounding rude and mean. I've been burned so many times in other stories that I invested a lot of time in, so I'm really careful to lot at tags first. As I said please write what you want, just please place a warning in the beginning and be careful of the tags. I can't remember ANY stories that I have read that have angst with a happy ending NOT having brian and Justin together at the end and happy together.
Also, as so many others have said, Justin can be as mature as an 80 year old man and not want to hurt the kids, BUT that is not how he comes across here at all. Everyone has excuses, no REAL apologies, and above all NO CONSEQUENCES!!! Justin seems very weak and taking all of the blame in this story. Luke and Gus are old enough to understand certain things. Justin does not have to be around Brian all that time at Britin. He can be cordial to brian in front of the kids, but that's it. He can go out and buy clothes and toys etc for his house. He has had the time now. I don't care if his house was not meant for kids. Any house can be rearranged to accommodate. Im sorry it is just too unrealistic for the characters.
As much as I love your writing, I think I am going to have to abandon this story like others have. Good luck and please keep writing, maybe just please consider a warning on future stories.
Author's Response:
Hi, thanks for your comments - of course everyone is entitled to their own opinions and I do accept that people will have different opinions from mine. That's life and that's what makes life so interesting :)
As for the tags: The Brian/Justin tag and the Angst with Happy Ending tag were chosen for good reason! This is a Brian/Justin story and yes, there will be a Happy Ending! I have not said anything about them not ending up together and I am aware of what those tags mean. Again - chosen for a good reason! What I was refering to concerning the Happy Ending is that not everyone will want them to have a happy ending after what Brian did and not everyone might like the happy ending I have chosen for them. After what they have been through, people might expect different things and not everyone might be happy with the happy ending this story will have. Some people might be, others might not. But having said that: I AM aware of what Happy Ending in a fandom means and that's why the tag was chosen ;)
As for anything else - there is always the option of contacting an author. Several people have chosen that option and contacted me with questions about the story before starting to read it. I have answered to all those questions and comments and would have answered your questions as well. What I will not do and will never ever do is spoil a story in a public forum like this. While you might like to know where a story is going and want to know in advance what you're getting in for, many people don't want that and I don't want them to get accidentally spoiled by any comments I might leave here.
Once again, I can only go by my own experience, but when I go into a book store, I only have 3-5 sentences at the back of a book to get me interested. There are no warnings either about what might or might not happen to characters. I do appreciate that everyone is different, but for me that's the thrill of reading: You never know what might be coming your way!
So please, if you have any specific questions concerning the happy ending or where this story is going - I am more than happy to answer them outside of a public forum as I have done for several other readers as well :)
As for Justin being weak or not - I realise that some people will never agree with me as we have very different outlooks on life. For me he is the strongest character in this story and I stand by that. Being angry and ignoring people that have hurt you is the easy way - facing them and trying to move on from the hurt: That's the hard work. That's the painful thing to do.
I have mentioned before that I don't believe in revenge, vindictiveness or anything like that - to me it's just a waste of time. So yes, I can totally relate to Justin, but I do understand that other people can't. That's life :)
At this point we've barely reached the half-way point of the story, a lot is still going to happen before we make it to the end (where the tags will come true ;) ).
I am sorry to see you leave this story behind, but maybe it's for the best. The story is finished and I am not going to change Justin's view of things, so there probably isn't much hope for him in some people's eyes.
Having said all that: Thank you so much for all your comments and all the time you have spent on leaving them. I do appreciate that and loved reading your thoughts :)
This is the story of what happened in Pittsburgh during the five years that Justin spent in New York working on his career. What was life like for Brian, the Liberty Avenue family and Gus and Luke?
This story does NOT need to be read to understand Back for Good! Each story can be read on its own!

Brian's thinking that Justin would hate him and "trap" him is exactly what jack had done and I'm sorry to say that it is EXACTLY WHAT BRIAN would have done. There was no thinking about Justin EVER
Author's Response:
The sad thing is, I think Brian really believed deep down that he had to do this for Justin - if only he had talked to Justin and hadn't gone by his own expectations, but had considered Justin's feelings :(
Justin is an empath who can read anyone's feelings. Or that’s what he thought until the day he ventured onto Liberty Avenue and met the most beautiful man he’d ever seen. A man who was a total blank to him. But what happens when there’s a crisis and only Justin’s empathic skills can help save the day?

I really love this story as I do all of your fics. I think I missed something though.....what did Michael send to Justin? I.e. “Did he send it before you started backing out of the comic? Brian asked.” What is the “it”? Thank you for sharing your wonderful talent.
Summary: This is the sequel to Captivated. A year has passed since Brian, aka King Brahim has married his former captive, Justin. Still very much in love with his husband, yet bound by the duties of his rule, how will he respond when what he loves most seeks to abandon their life together? Will Brian accept that this is an act of selfless love or will he view it as the ultimate betrayal?

Author's Response:
Couldn't she, though? Some kind of "okay for me, but not for thee" mindset she had going on. Lord. This snippet will probably never have any more added to it, but I've got a longer one-shot almost ready. Just trying to wind it up and do some editing. I'm not writing much anymore, but I have a LOT of pieces and parts hanging around and a few that need finished here, so...
Thanks for the comment.

If Brian and Michael had done the deed, and Justin and Ben had balls of steel. How might it have gone?
A little humor, a little angst, and a touch of Jesus.
Another kind-of-a-snippet-definitely-a-morality-tale one-off, while I'm finishing up a longer work.
