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.

So relieved that John followed his instincts and didn't go for the huge "house"/"cabin".

The honey bear could be a great place to spend time with a new friend.

I forgot about the piano teacher; she seemed to capture what Justin did.

Tom is starting to feel home on the lane.

I'm impressed by Debbie. Michael is also surprising. Bree asking about Brian is hilarious. She has a strong character.

Tom is very handsome and charismatic!

Great reunion! I could feel their need for each other. Brian has really changed over the years, in such good way.

Summary:

Stay

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...

Best ending ever: "However, I do want you to stay; I always have."

It's true that this episode was "open" for new ending and this one is especially good!



Author's Response:

Thank you so much! I'm so glad you liked it. This particular episode has inspired me, and I know many other writers to put a happier spin on it. I think in the actual episode we could sense what was to come, but it would be a perfect moment for them at that time. 

Thanks for reading and commenting. I appreciate that. :) 

Summary:

Days after their historic reunion, Brian and Justin still haven't come back down to earth. Working together is extremely difficult, most especially when a certain blond intern teases the boss with regularity.

Justin is a natural teaser, his smile, his backside... Brian is a natural hunter with a sexual hotness and a hidden heart of gold.



Author's Response:

Justin knows exactly how to tease and get to Brian - always! Your description of Brian is perfect, and how I always see him. Thanks for reading and commenting. :) 

Summary:

Justin is having a 'queen out' moment after returning from a visit to the hairdresser with Emmett. Brian, of course, will bring him out of it in his own unique fashion.

When I read the title, I thought that Brian was having a bad hair day; he is so vain about his hair.

I could see Emmett trying and succeeding in convincing Justin to try something fun (for him, not so much for Justin).



Author's Response:

Yes, I can definitely see Justin going along with Emmett on this - LOL. I think that would have been fun to see, and I can see Brian thinking he needed to get Justin back to normal too. Brian always figures it out though. 

Thanks for reading and commenting. :)

Brian is going through the motions at re-opened Babylon yearning for only one thing - Justin. Will he continue to live with his torment or will he do something to change things?

Fluff is good for the soul and this kind of ending is always welcome!



Author's Response:

I am not a fluff kind of writer, at least not anymore, but this just felt right to me. And, definitely the ending I need to see them living. :) 

Thanks for commenting! 

Summary:

 

Everyone has been placed in charge of their own lives. As Brian and Justin begin to design theirs, Michael and Lindsay are having to deal with what they wanted... just not the way they wanted it.

Again, a special THANK YOU goes out to Lorie, who I find an AMAZING person to know. I seriously couldn't do what I do without you. Love you!

Very dark, but the client is not an angel. I'm wondering how you plan the meeting between Brian and Justin.



Author's Response:

Yes, a very dark story, but I think many lighter moments throughout as well. The meeting between Brian and Justin will be different for sure. :) 

Thanks for reading. I hope you enjoy this story...

Reviewer: The SNO Signed starstarstarstarstar

I'm wondering if there might be a more powerful link between S. Caletti and Brian. Like father & son?

This "Mr. Tall, dark, and short on words" defines Brian so well; personally, I would add sexy as hell!



Author's Response:

There is definitely a strong connection between Salvatore and Brian. You will find out what very soon. 

And yeah, that could certainly be added to Brian's description! Thanks for reading and commenting. :) 

Reviewer: The SNO Signed starstarstarstarstar

Oh no, not Ian! That could ruin Brian's "vacation" even if the bellhop is quite an interesting entertainment.



Author's Response:

Haha. What would we do without 'Ian' to intrude? Yeah, I think Brian, in this case, will be very adept at mixing business with pleasure!

Reviewer: The SNO Signed starstarstarstarstar

I have a slight that I already read this story some time ago. The secrecy regarding Brian and S. Caletti is ringing a tiny bell in my head.

So, Justin and Brian are both "hunters" and seem to have the same view on relationships. Their meeting might be interesting on several levels!



Author's Response:

Yes, you could have. It was originally written a few years ago; although, I have touched it up a bit here, and I am working on extending the ending to make it a bit longer too.

Surprisingly, Brian and Justin do have much in common. That could be interesting. 

Thanks for reading and commenting. :) 

Reviewer: The SNO Signed starstarstarstarstar
Date: Jun 19, 2020 Title: Chapter 5: Chapter 5

Ha! That's such a good question! I'm pretty sure it will be the first choice, until next time!



Author's Response:

Yes, you could be right. And many more times... LOL

Reviewer: The SNO Signed starstarstarstarstar

Fireworks is the best way to describe this meeting and hot exchange! It's not only sexual attraction, it's preservation of the upper-hand and high power-play.



Author's Response:

Yes, I think keeping the upper hand is a component each of them wants to implement; although, I think we know which one has the slight edge. Either way, I hope it will be interesting. Thanks for your comment!

:)

Oh, double agent! Clever!



Author's Response:

I have fun coming up with twists, especially the ones that aren't so obvious. LOL. 

Thanks for commenting! :) 

Reviewer: The SNO Signed starstarstarstarstar

Oh Ethan! So painful to see how pathetic he can be!

Is Justin really sure that Ethan is not nearby hearing what he is revealing? Not a good idea to drop such a bomb in an open area.



Author's Response:

Can Ethan ever be anything less than annoying? LOL. 

That's very true. I think under the circumstances both Brian and Justin are a bit off of their game. Hopefully, Ethan didn't hear anything.

Thanks for commenting! 

Reviewer: The SNO Signed starstarstarstarstar
Date: Jun 23, 2020 Title: Chapter 10: Chapter 10

Uh oh, not a happy ending! Brian is very sensitive regarding this kind of deception.



Author's Response:

Yes, for sure. Brian isn't good with deception, and this is a bad one; although, hopefully, one that works out for everyone.

Thanks for reading and commenting! :)

Teasing... They both know how to put pressure on the other.



Author's Response:

They sure do. It's good that Justin can give as much as he gets.

Poor Craig: he would be mortified if he knew about Justin's thoughts regarding the sofa.



Author's Response:

Yes! What a thought for Justin to have at such a time. LOL.

Thanks for commenting.

The shower scene... self fanning mandatory!

Eww, Ethan is back. Maybe not for a long time.



Author's Response:

Of course there had to be a shower scene - LOL. 

Ethan is like that bug that constantly buzzes around. And no, I doubt he hangs around for long.

Thanks for reading and commenting. :)

Bad, very bad move from Gary. I'm surprised Ethan is not dead yet.



Author's Response:

Yeah, Gary probably made his most fatal error. I wouldn't want to be aligned with his camp in any way.

Thanks for the comment. :)

Things are getting better between Brian and his father. Sad story about Joan.
