I don't write at all but I read a lot. So, I'm more than happy to have a new site where I hope I can find new wonderful stories or old ones about B&J.

The Loft by Tagsit Rated: M star [Reviews - 127]
Summary: Feature

I love the supernatural twist to the Brian and Justin romance. Very different from other stories and it's well written and entertaining to read. - samcdee

Loft_not_moving.jpg

Justin moves into a new loft apartment in preparation for starting his first term at PIFA.  Upon arrival, he finds a “Welcome Letter” from his new landlord, Brian Kinney. But, when he goes to respond, odd things start to happen.  Can these two men reach across time itself to realize their love?  (Loosely based on the plot of Alejandro Aresti's The Lakehouse - one of my all-time favorite movies.)

I think guessed who the good Samaritan was and why Justin thinks he never met Brian.

Big twist indeed.

To add some more attraction, Justin just found the idea to help Brian on his campaign.

I love this story! 



Author's Response:

No fair - you've seen the movie so you had a lot of clues guessing about my Good Samaritan! LOL. Glad you like my version though. Thanks for reading. TAG

The gift is a very good way for Brian to show he cares about Justin and also an incentive for him to paint which he's not very motivated to do.

First meeting with the gang, at least 3 of them. Is Brian secluded in his new location or is he at work or ...?



Author's Response:

Or. It's definitely the 'or' choice. LOL. TAG

So funny how Justin's resolution for shopping went to the drain when he finally saw Brian's best asset. What would I give to see the picture...

The description itself was hot as hell. Yes, Brian is gorgeous and he's not shy about it.

I loved the note that was with the pictures.

Nice to have some time with Daphne.

I love how they feel each other and know when something is wrong. Loved also Brian's brainstorming for naming their exchanges.

The comments of Justin on the sex toys catalogue were very funny. The fact that Justin can choose something that doesn't even exist on Brian's time is really tricky. Same for the mail from the future that Brian gets via Justin.

Michael is as nosy and whiny as ever... and Emmett always ready for a good gossip... Where is Ted with his witty remarks?

Hilarious!!!

Poor Justin, he was ready to pass out for being over stimulated, to avoid not following the instructions.

About these, I forgot to tell how funny it was to have Brian writing them at the diner.

Too bad Justin wasn't able to realize Brian is a dad now.

Ha ha ha... Justin and his needy little ass! What an understatement! I guess we will have some more of that later on (one can hope).

Brian and his son: so much left unsaid in the series, but all the moments Brian held Gus in S1 were overwhelming. I don't know if it was Gale's acting or Gale's true self or both, but it added to the charm oozing from the images (the scene in the kitchen while he waits for his delivery before his father shows up - "Gus, think nipple. Think cock. Whatever get you there"). But, I digress.

This is genius: using the GLC show to allow Brian to see the paintings and find out the one he got via the sexmailer is not the first one that has been drawn.

He needs to know if Justin is present and to meet him; only, Justin has absolutely no idea who Brian is. And then, Brian finally finds out the color of Justin' eyes, hair; needless to talk about the smile...

Yee Haw indeed!!!

I loved the whole chapter, but you got me with "I want you to remember ME" because Brian knows that it won't be the case.

Good to read that Justin finally remembered that night.

One more panic attack and no bracelet on the wrist.

Is the fading image one of the bracelet on Brian's wrist?

Excellent!!!

It started very dark and desperate but ended with a big smile and relief.

Well done!

Brian is so impatient to find Justin that he almost begged Lindsay for the address.

Who were the noisy teens?

Their sexmails and their sexgames are as meaningful and playful. Can't wait to have them reunited.

What about Justin's game? Brian didn't play yet, did he?

Glad to see that Brian supports Justin through this painful event, and I guess it will probably have an impact on their futures.

Wow, that was hard for the boys. Fortunately, Deb is strong.

The gift from Justin is just amazing. It's a beautiful idea to paint flowers. At the same time, it gives Brian a reason to reveal a little about Justin.

Date: Sep 02, 2016 Title: Chapter 29: Chapter 29 - The Babylon Experience. (December 18, 1991 ­ 10:30 pm)

What a chapter!!!

Horny and twicked out Justin made an incursion in Babylon. Did he come to meet with Brian or was it a coincidence?

The very hot scene in the backroom could have ended in the loft if the "boyfriend" hadn't interrupted them. I guess Brian wasn't too pleased to see Justin in a strange state and to think he wasn't single anymore.

Was it Ethan?

Date: Sep 02, 2016 Title: Chapter 30: Chapter 30 - Broken Date. (December 27, 2001 ­ 6:30 pm)

Gut wrenching chapter, as hard to read as to watch in the movie. I can see this scene without crying (same for the last scene).

Justin's decision to ask Brian not to write him anymore is so painful.

Date: Sep 02, 2016 Title: Chapter 31: Chapter 31 - Alone. (January 7, 2000 ­ 9:30 am)

Distraught Brian is not a beautiful sight. For once, I was glad that the best friend took his job at heart and managed to shake the stud out of his misery.

At least, Brian was able to go out and to clear the air with Justin.

This it: Brian leaves his first home and prepares it for his future tenant and plans the renovation of his future home.

Date: Sep 02, 2016 Title: Chapter 33: Chapter 33 - Best Laid Plans . . . (May 20, 2000 ­ 1:30 pm)

Another hard part for several reasons:
- Justin puts 2&2 together and knows who was the good Samarithan and why Brian wasn't at the restaurant on December 31th
- many people lied to him to avoid more stress
- he also realizes that this day is the D day and he can't warn Brian because he asked him not to write anymore, therefore, not to wait for other letters

For once, Michael's usual foot in the mouth helps to let Justin know where the painting is coming from.

So much angst... and then so much hot sweaty sex... yeah, very happy reader!!!

The bracelet is back as THE medium of this beautiful story (not to forgot the mailbox).

You can be very proud of this first story because it's so well thought, built and written. You used some canon parts (Daphne and her peach yogurt for example) and some dry humour.

I have some questions in my mind, but I won't ask them now. I need to make a list and share it with you if you don't mind.

I didn't mean to have the 100th review written, but I'm happy about it. I'm so disappointed I wrote the 69th and didn't realize it.

He sure can do romance... Very nice and hot "what if" story. I could only imagine the look in Justin eyes when Brian started to put the condom.

What about Daphne with her date in the limo?

Will you post all the chapters that were on MW and maybe a new one as well?

So impatient to read what happened to South's visitors.

Thank you!



Author's Response:

Hello! I will be posting all chapters from MW to this website and there will be more chapters as well. But due to this being my first story in the fandom, written after a dry spell, I am editing the first several chapters along the way for tense purproses. I hope to be caught up over here in the next couple of weeks and want to get the new chapter up soon. :) Thank you for reading this story!

Happy to see the story coming back to life. I can't wait to read the chapter that follows the trip to Miami.



Author's Response:

I have been working on this chapter for a while, but with two jobs, I have little time. Hope to get it up soon though. Do you mean New Orleans? Eric is working there for a month and goes to North Carolina to see his parents. Thank you for understanding and for reading and reviewing!

Reviewer: The SNO Signed
Date: Jun 10, 2016 Title: Chapter 1: Chapter 1: 34th and 7th

You are right, I meant New Orleans (it makes more sense for what I supsect is going on).

I'm sorry, I didn't want to put pressure on you; you wrote that you woud review the old chapters before posting them here. As they are quite long and dense, that might take time.

Please don't worry and take your time.

Thank you.

 



Author's Response:

Oh, you weren't! Don't worry about that lol. I just wanted to give an explanation for my lateness. And ooooh, I do wonder what your theory is. Care to share? Anyway, I hope to get the next chapter done soon. I went away for a few days so I didn't get any time to actually write. I am glad I have readers, such as yourself, who are excited for the next chapter though! Thanks again!
