Bio:
I love a good cup of tea.
I am a sucker for "Brian in Peril" stories and this is one of the best I've read. The author does a great job dissecting Brian's complex mind. Phenomenal writing, interesting premise, and a satisfying ending. Can't ask for much more! -charming1
After Justin leaves for New York, the remaining members of the Liberty Avenue family go about their everyday lives, never suspecting that something serious is happening to Brian. When the realization hits, they find that everyone's lives are irrevocably altered.

I loved this story the first hundred times I read it, and I love it just as much the 101st time :D It's so angsty, but you capture it perfectly. I can't get enough of this.
FINE, I'll read it again :p

LOL... I'm testing you on this! Pencils ready? ;)
Really glad you like it so much. Thanks!

I LOVE Emmett stories, there are not enough of them. Thank you for sharing this <3
Author's Response:
I agree wholeheartedly! I'm glad you liked it.
Five years have passed. Justin's turned 27, Brian just going on 39. What if Justin wasn’t the success he’d hoped to be in New York? What will he find when he returns home destitute, his hopes dashed? Has Michael managed to realize his fondest dream? Can Brian and Justin overcome the mistakes made during the intervening years?
Note: Though this may seem like a Brian/Michael pairing, it is not. Michael is not nice and does hurt at least two characters.

YAY! Welcome to KD, it's so exciting to see you posting here. I hadn't read this one before, when did you originally post i t? I saw it was your first story, that's great. Keep writing, please :)
Author's Response:
I first posted it in 2010 and didn't post my next story until 2013. I prefer to have a finished story before posting just in case my muse goes on vacation. lol. Thank you for commenting.
After that one night stand and haunting promises of ‘seeing me in your dreams', the lives of Brian and Justin took divergent routes. Justin ends up at a place in life no one ever thought he would be, and ultimately no one is happier about that than Brian.

Seriously, Jesus Christ! HOW have I never read this series before? Honestly, you are one of my favourites, I feel like such a failure LOL. But my GOD... this, this totally made me gasp. smile, cry, laugh, cry some more...
Justin hurt his leg :(
When Justin went away and Brian took him to the airport and wasn't able to kiss him goodbye, my heart hurt :(
And then when he said he was going away and couldn't make any contact??? SO MANY FEELS!
BUT THEN HE CAME BACK, AND HE TOLD HIM HE LOVED HIM - IN PUBLIC <3
I wanted this to go on forever and ever and ever :)
Author's Response:
You make me do a happy dance!! LOL
If you want it to go on, make sure you read Moonbow, as well. At the begining of that story Justin is deployed. The reunion scene is so bittersweet. And Justin gets introduced to Gus! Oh, boy....
Thank you, Sally, for your nice words. :)
"There are just some things that should never, logically, exist in this world, Brian Kinney. Good kids kicked around or tossed away for being who they are. Hate-filled Christians. Diseases that eat away at the very soul of a being. They just don't make sense. Then again, we have the platypus. Flying fish. A midnight moonbow. Trained soldiers with soft touches and artistic souls. They make not a shit's worth of sense, either. But exist they do. And I'll deal with the bad if I can find that little bit of good, and thank god for it."
Two weeks in the 'Be All That You Can Be' universe. (Sequel to BATYCB)

Right, well now I need to add seeing a Moonbow onto my bucketlist...
I freaking love this series so much. Brian wants to retire to be with his man. I laughed so much at his army wife joke LMAO.
Author's Response:
Definitely put it on your bucketlist. I lived about twenty miles from Cumberland Falls for decades and had the opportunity to see the Moonbow a few times. Even without the Moonbow the falls there are absolutely daunting in their power and sheer size.
And the Army Wives reference was to one of my other favorite shows. Dayum, I loved that series. Glad you liked it.
Cpt. Justin Taylor-Kinney goes missing in Afghanistan.

HOW HAVE I NOT READ THIS BEFORE? You're literally one of my favourite authors. I am hanging my head in shame LOL. This was SO good. And your banner totally drew me in.
Author's Response:
Fear not! You're reading it now! ;) All things in their time, right?
I'm glad you liked it. This was actually written very quickly and for me that's very, very, very unusual. And I have a special place in my heart for the military. I'll add more to it someday, 'cuz I just love me some Col. Jasper Trent! LOL
Date: May 10, 2016 Title: Chapter 1: A Lifetime
DUDE! I am still crying reading this - but mu years of sadness are now tears of joy, because they found him AND HE'S SAFE. I legit was so nervous reading this, and I felt how scary this was for Brian and the family. Gus having panic attacks was what got me the most :( I wish this would go on forever and ever. I love this universe you have created.
Author's Response:
He's FOUND!!!
I didn't really understand the heartbreaking job that 'Messengers' with condolence calls have. If you get the opportunity, check out the trailers for a movie called The Messenger, about this very issue.
I tried my hardest to keep both Brian and Justin in character in this story. When the angst gets to a certain point it's almost impossible not to let them uncharacteristically cry themselves to sleep! Let me know if you feel the relationship between Justin and Gus is realistically represented. That was a concern and one of the reasons I seldom write Gus into my stories.
Date: May 10, 2016 Title: Chapter 1: A Lifetime
Your Brian and Justin were definitely in character. Brian may be all big and tough, but you know if his Sunshine went missing, he'd have reacted JUST like this. So good job *claps you*
And the relationship between Gus and Justin was so beautiful and also very realistic. I loved how at first he wasn't a fan of Justin, and you explained why perfectly. Logically (to a kid) it made sense, this guy had suddenly come into his life and was taking away some of his precious time with his dad - but the way you had them bond = <3 Gus trying on Cap's uniform was so cute. And when he asked him to be his dad my ovaries literally exploded LOL.
If you ever feel like coming back to this story, I would be all for it LOL
Author's Response:
Thank you for that feedback. I am not a stickler for 'in-character' but I don't like to take them toooooo far away from canon. :)
And the series will continue, it just comes in waves at times and the inspiration is usually a photo or story I read in the news. So, who knows when the muse will strike me again!
They've known since they were sixteen where their lives were headed, but somehow, everything went in a completely different direction. This is a journey through the build up of their relationship, its destruction, and the way it's pieced back together in the end. Non-linear storytelling.

When Michael falls deathly ill, Ben has never been more afraid in his life. No, scratch that. When Michael falls deathly ill and disappears out of thin air minutes before the ambulance arrives, Ben has never been more afraid in his life. All he wants to do is find his husband, alive and well, and to feel like he's not going crazy. He'd also love it if this duck would stop stalking him and breaking into his house. It's the last thing he needs right now.

thanks- I did not know so many people have read the series. When it was originally posted a long time ago it got a lot of reviews- but it doesn't show that due to the site going down. Still glad it hold up over time.
