A nice dinner. A nice prelude to their evening. Although with 25k plus, Michael just might stay and find some who WILL do damage to Justin’s home or business.

Date: Jul 21, 2021 Title: Chapter 32: Chapter 32: Shall We Move this into the Bedroom?
Beautiful bedroom. Well, I hope Brian rocks Justin' world tonight, leaving him with the thoughts, "Why didn't I do this sooner?"
I hope Michael just goes to Pittsburgh and stays there. His thoughts were wandering there a little bit. And if Debbie comes down hard on him, he just might say the heck with everyone, and take off to places unknown.

Date: Jul 22, 2021 Title: Chapter 33: Chapter 33: Just For Tonight... Or A Brand New Beginning?
I half expected a major interruption before they got to the main event. I wasn’t sure if the author would be that mean.
Also, I honestly think that the true, best tops should have a bottoming experience so they know what their bottoms are going to feel and experience.
HUGS,
Cathy
Date: Jul 22, 2021 Title: Chapter 34: Chapter 34: Where Do We Go From Here?
It seems now that Brian has topped, he’s more open with Justin being the top. As long as they switch off occasionally, that seems fine. This Brian does seem like he likes the more dominant personality of Justin.
HUGS,
Cathy
Author's Response:
In canon, I don't think this would have worked, nor would Brian ever consider Justin being the more dominant top in the relationship. The characterizations are different in this story. I think a slight balance will be enough now that Brian has accepted his deep feelings for Justin. Overall, I think they will keep each other on their toes - LOL.
Thanks for commenting!

Date: Jul 22, 2021 Title: Chapter 35: Chapter 35: In An Instant Everything Changes
I’m not sure how to feel about this turn of events in their relationship. Justin still seems unwilling to share the bottoming. So what happens when Justin sets up a romantic night for them, but Brian decides to go topping and doesn't come home right away, and then is too tired, yadda, yadda… and that's a ‘what if’. Maybe it won’t come to that. But Justin assures he did like it when he bottomed, so what’s his problem? I just don’t want the guys to run into problems.
Arson. I can’t see it as Michael. But the thugs going through with it to get more blackmail money, possibly. Or would Sean do this, to get Justin home? Or is it going to simply be something faulty.
There’s so many possibilities for you to throw that in right now. (thanks! :)
HUGS,
Cathy
Date: Jul 22, 2021 Title: Chapter 36: Chapter 36: Questions. Answers. And even more Questions...
Just because Brian is sure it wasn’t Michael, still doesn’t mean the guys Michael talked to in NY are in the clear. I’m iffy on Sean - because I think our author is sending us on a wild goose chase. Because if someone was already arrested, someone would have let Justin know that.
HUGS,
Cathy
Author's Response:
I think I left this as a whodunit for sure. Was it an accident, is Justin in danger, or is Brian? Both even? Or no one? LOL. I am not helping here. Haha. Another mystery, but one that is soon to be solved. :)
Thanks for commenting!
Date: Jul 23, 2021 Title: Chapter 37: Chapter 37: Awkward Homecoming
For a while when Sean was talking to Justin, it sounded identical to the crap Mikey spews at Brian. “You don’t do love.” But then he seemed to accept it. Much more adult than Mikey.
And what’s this crap just coming up now about Ethan having the hots for Justin. We’ve only known of him as the driver, and now suddenly there’s feelings involved?
That’s scary. Ethan can be a lunatic too.
HUGS,
Cathy
Author's Response:
Ethan could be a lunatic here too. I guess we'll see. I think Ethan always ends up doing something disturbing - at least in my stories. LOL.
Sean certainly didn't take the breakup well, but I guess from his POV, everything happened so fast from the time Justin left LA and went to NY on a business trip. Brian Kinney is always a game changer. Haha.
Thanks for commenting!

Date: Jul 23, 2021 Title: Chapter 38: Chapter 38: A Man of Surprises
That was a nice offer to the cab driver. I bet they rarely get that much offered. Brian apparently was in a HUGE hurry! The driver probably got his ears full listening to Brian. That’s surprising that only a day passed and Brian had to ‘throw his hat in’ and head out. Must be love!
HUGS,
Cathy
Date: Jul 23, 2021 Title: Chapter 39: Chapter 39: An Offer Not to be Refused
Well, I’m super glad Brian’s out there, because I do believe Michael is on his way.
I thought he assured Brian he wouldn’t do anything. And just because Justin bought his store, he made a lot more that way, than if someone else bought it.
I hope he walks in on Justin doing Brian! LOL.. It would serve him right!
HUGS,
Cathy
Date: Jul 23, 2021 Title: Chapter 40: Chapter 40: Poolside Bliss
Another very hot and sexy chapter. Poor Brian, never in his life did he think he’d be jealous, and it appears as a constant for him now.
HUGS,
Cathy
Author's Response:
I think Brian has to redefine his no jealousy policy; at least, when it comes to a certain blond. LOL.
This story has had a lot of heat, but it was supposed to be THAT kind of story. I guess it did that. :)
Thanks for commenting!
Date: Jul 23, 2021 Title: Chapter 41: Chapter 41: Oh What A Night!
BRAIN BLEACH!! Naked Ethan. I can see a gun-toting Brian running out there naked to chase him off! LOL
Do you think all the neighborhood dogs are going to start howling now that the cats are fighting?
HUGS,
Cathy
Author's Response:
I remember laughing as I wrote this chapter. A serenading naked chinrat. What a visual! LOL.
It's a good thing that Justin has such a large estate with the closest neigbor not really that close. If not, there could be an incident!
Thanks for commenting, Cathy.
Hugs,
Janet
Date: Jul 23, 2021 Title: Chapter 42: Chapter 42: A Mystery Solved
I STILL think it would have been fun to see a naked Brian toting a gun or knife, and Justin could have stayed upstairs and poured a gallon of ice water on top of Ethan. And when Ethan begged to know what they had that he didn’t, Brian could have waved his hand down the length of his body and said, “SERIOUSLY?”
But yeah, the cops will get some chuckles. It’s always fun arresting the crazies.
HUGS,
Cathy
Date: Jul 23, 2021 Title: Chapter 43: Chapter 43: Bringing it all Together
The ending was perfect. I did prefer the whole talk and decisions being made at the end, vs your normal big sex scene. Because this wrapped it all up in a neat package. You know what everyone’s futures will now include. I guess I can see Brian and Michael being civil at family functions, but I don’t foresee a friendship like they had, unless Michael gets some counseling and grows up. And treats Justin with respect. (And that's a tall order.)
HUGS,
Cathy
Author's Response:
I'm glad you liked the ending. There have been a few stories that I have ended more on an emotional level than the big smutty finish - LOL. It depends on the story and the circumstances. In this particular story I really felt to have a good closure some things needed to be clear between them, and of course, the readers as well. :)
Thank you for reading and all of your comments, Cathy.
Hugs,
Janet

You know... if these two guys would have learned early on to say what they are thinking and feeling, most of those problems would have gone away.
HUGS,

Author's Response:
Very true, but in the early days, Brian wasn't ready for all of that. I think with the right encouragement, Justin would have said more.

When Brian went downstairs ‘to watch’ Justin with the trick, you could almost see all the thoughts running through his mind, and the expression on his face was also very revealing.
Hugs,
Cathy
Author's Response:
Yes, as much as Brian doesn't talk about his feelings, his face is so expressive about the things he really cares out. IMO that was such a telling scene.

You might consider this fluff, but hey, I enjoy these kinds of stories sometime. Simple and sweet. And they found their soulmate when they least expected it.

Author's Response:
Fluff is always far outside of my own comfort zone, but for the challenge it was written for, it did fit. I'm glad you liked the story, Cathy.

Brian struggles to leave what happened in room 1213 behind him, and a scorned trick looks elsewhere for satisfaction. What if gapfiller for 1.05.

I finished about five minutes ago, and have just been sitting here totally stunned. What does a person really say in a situation like this? We know from later on that poor Hunter was positive. So do we say: It serves you right, liar-oh-Marvin? He should have followed Brian’s advice. Because of his actions of not going home, now it’s going to be a really big deal. And if he and his wife don’t have protected sex, he just endangered her life too.
I’m still shaking my head. This is a hard story to wrap your head around. But you were right, it was a story needing telling.
Great job. A well crafted story. And maybe when I can get my jaw off the floor, I can actually come up with a valid review.
Hugs,
Cathy
Author's Response:
Thank you for commenting, Cathy. It's good to get some feedback :) Hearing that the story "punched you in the gut" lets me know I've written a powerful story.
I pushed Marvin Telson a little further than what we see onscreen in canon, although I think it slots into his character - and canon - neatly. As far as whether Marvin or Hunter is HIV positive, I purposely left it ambiguous. It could be either or neither. Hunter is positive when we meet him in S3, but this is a couple years earlier, so who knows? It he is positive and Marvin gets infected, it serves the sleazoid right. If he's not infected by Hunter, then it's going to be someone else...
If/when you recover enough, I'd love to hear more of your thoughts. Would you like to read Hunter's POV? Brian's scenes will be identical, but there's quite a bit of new material for Hunter, including a bit of backstory.
Hugs back atcha,

So Justin has some type of power to resist Brian. But good god, get him away from whiny Ethan.
And we have a besotted Michael again. Yippee!
HUGS,
Cathy
Author's Response:
I have written the besotted Michael too many times. LOL. That is how I really did see him, and this is one of my early QAF stories...so I'm sure I won't be too kind to him or the chinrat. LOL.
Thanks for commenting!

Date: Jul 24, 2021 Title: Chapter 2: Chapter 2
Ah, a wonderful friend in Daphne… and someone who detests Ethan. He’s the most arrogant person I know. Maybe he’s not being signed because he’s not as good as he thinks, and maybe it’s because his attitude stinks.
And I’m really looking forward to Brian’s private talk with the chin rat.
HUGS,
Cathy
Author's Response:
Daphne is a gem. I can't say how much I love her. I often go into a story planning to make her a huge part of the story, but I get sidetracked by all of our boys' adventures. LOL. Maybe one day I will remember that early thought!
Thanks for commenting!

Date: Jul 24, 2021 Title: Chapter 3: Chapter 3
Shucks. Brian didn’t have to just say you might survive the night. Hell, get rid of the creep. Send him off to a foreign land or something. A one-way ticket and then he wouldn’t be able to afford a way back.
And talk about two morons. If he plans to keep Ethan around. Mikey’s a good choice. They’re both losers. And Mikey deserved that for his comment he made about Brian failing.
I hope that smidgen of Brian’s blood will start working in Justin soon.
HUGS,
Cathy
Date: Jul 24, 2021 Title: Chapter 4: Chapter 4
Brian’s lucky that not ALL his body fluids worked on humans like his blood. He’d be controlling them all.
But finally, Ethan won’t be a problem, because if he is… Brian will do more than just TALK to the slimeball.
HUGS,
Cathy
Date: Jul 24, 2021 Title: Chapter 5: Chapter 5
Argh! It’s been way too long since I read this story. Does Brian know of the witch's curse and all it entails? Does he remember who turned him? I know these are questions you can’t really answer, but… whatever.
Does the ring help him resist Brian, or just protect him from the witch?
I can hardly wait to see who Brian fixes Ethan up with tonight, or won't Ethan even go in the doors because of no free pass?
HUGS,
Cathy
Author's Response:
So many great questions, and yeah, you're right, I can't answer them in the case someone finds this story for the first time and reads the comments. :)
The ring is a lot about protection from the witch...but all should be revealed in time.
You know Brian probabaly won't fix Ethan up with anyone good. Our Brian is a bit twisted that way - haha.
Thanks for commenting!
:)
Date: Jul 24, 2021 Title: Chapter 6: Chapter 6
When Brian told Ethan he wanted him to go to the backroom with a guy, and then another one, my first thought was: Brian’s going to have to manipulate some men into wanting to do that… then I thought: I hope Mikey gets lucky! LOL… (I’m so mean!)
I have mixed feelings about Brian giving Justin E, but if he doesn’t take advantage of that...
But it will be interesting to see the happenings in the backroom.
HUGS,
Cathy
Date: Jul 24, 2021 Title: Chapter 7: Chapter 7
Ah shucks, it’s not really Michael. When Michael thought he’d take a trick to the backroom, I was hoping he’d show up empty, and get Ethan.
My question though is, when was Michael killed? Was it AFTER he watched Brian and Justin head to the backroom? Or is his body just inhabited? Don’t they have to be dead to do that though?
Questions, questions...
HUGS,
Cathy
Author's Response:
I think witches can just inhabit a body, he could still be alive. His free will is just overtaken by the magic. I guess there are no rules, and since this was my first paranormal QAF story, I had my own special rules for different things.
And yes, this story does have a lot of questions. Hopefully, I did answer them all by the end of the story!
Thanks for commenting!
:)
Date: Jul 25, 2021 Title: Chapter 8: Chapter 8
At least Brian knows what’s happening now so that he will be able to take the correct steps to protect Justin. I look forward to finding out the reason all this was started in the first place.
HUGS,
Cathy
