Summary:

Sequel to "Filled Silence" set in the Post-Stockwell Era, Brian and Justin makes some decisions that will redefine their definition of the word 'relationship'. Although inspired by the concepts within "The Experiment" by Wren and "The Dare" by Edom, it's my take on what should have happened in the series. ENJOY!!!

To the Wonderful and Talented Lorie Austin, Thanks for being my beta, but most of all, my friend. I couldn't do what I do without you.

That was epic! Bravo! I totally felt Justin & Brian's pain though...oh my God...hopefully the idiot squad will heed their words but probably not. I thought Ben & Hunter were going to get their justice too at this meeting or is that another chapter?

THIS is what I thought would have happened first...glad it happened now but still...Chelle, I totally agree with your closing notes and Brian's character. I much prefer your way than what the writers did to the character of Brian in Season 5! All that back & forth business was bullshit IMO. Well done babe!

Of course the imbecile & the cunt paid Ian...I'm not surprised. I absolutely love Justin's calm sense of courage & justice. I can't believe shit for brains is still fighting this...he's gonna end up in a cell too! 



Author's Response:

Hey Shine! As you know I always love writing a strong Justin. Michael is definitely in for several rude awakenings dealing with him.

Happy Reading and HUGS,

Well that was wicked healthy! I loved it! Way to go Vic! I love it when Alex pops in during our favorite fics! You go man, get Deb healthy and open her eyes!

I am so glad that this will work out for Deb, truly! I always thought that she was allowing herself to be controlled by shit for brains. One day at a time, step by step...she will better herself. 

Honestly, I wish there were people like Alex & Stephen in my own life...

Okay first of all...ew ew ew sex bewtween Michael & Lance...EW!!! But thanks for the warning...yuck! Question: Can someone's asshole really be loose? IDK but could it really be? Seriously, I have no idea. And secondly, is he for real?? Calling Child Protective Services on them? Yes they do have to investigate every case that's reported but this has GOT to fall back on shit for brains right? He's just diggin himself in deeper right? What a total dick....can't wait til he goes to jail! 



Author's Response:

Good morning Shine! Believe me the specter of that scene reminded me of the 'Nightmare on Elm Street' series, where the original Fred Krueger aka the fabulously talented Robert England, came up with some funny lines even while he was scaring the hell out of you. Sleep? Yeah right! Couldn't sleep without someone watching over me for ten days after I saw the 1st one...LOL Consequently, it was a similar experience being tormented with that scene until I just had to write it. And here it is, the day after, and I'm still wishing for Morpheus' little blue pill! LOL

As for your question, let me put on my medical hat for a moment. YES, an anus, just like a vagina, can be termed as 'loose' for a number of reasons, primarily due to stretching. Think in terms of a rubber band. What happens when you continue to constantly stretch it out? Eventually, it begins to lose its natural elasticity, and just becomes loose. Muscles, especially those which serve as both an organ and a muscle (the vag and anus are such organs), work in a similar manner. It's why pelvic floor muscle exercises, or Kegels, are so very important. Not only do they help with continence issues and the like, but they also help you and your partner to attain and maintain pleasure during intercourse.

Okay, now putting away Dr. Nik M.D. and pulling 'Chelle the traumatized author' back out of hiding, LOL  Michael is somewhere laughing like a hyena in heat right now, but trust me, he won't be for long. All I will say is that he'd better hope the police figure out it's him before Brian does. Michael can do pretty much whatever he wants to Brian (and he has), but go after his child? Oh no, Sir Asshole, I think NOT! 

Stay Tuned Darling!

HAPPY READING and HUGS,

~Chelle

I don't care how talented they (Eric & Christian) are, having them there at Kinnetik, I believe, won't be good karma at all. There has got to be people out there with the same qualifications. And just knowing about Hobb's father & what he did to his own son?! Omg! Where is he now & can 'someone' have him killed please?! Horrifying! 

And Mel! Holy shit girl, you KNOW these two, did you ever hear of knocking before entering a room? I would have been pissed at her, Christ! Live & learn I guess.



Author's Response:

Hey Shine!

I understand your issues with hiring Eric and Christian, but there is a method to Justin's seeming madness. On one hand, hiring them prevents any possible civil lawsuits about discrimination even if they are falsified (again, think Kip Thomas). On the flipside of that theory is the adage "Keep your friends close, and your enemies closer". It's going to be interesting to discover what Eric, who is the wild card, really is.

As for Mel, it was really a comedy of errors kind of thing. Although she's annoyed, Brian's remarks to her tempers that a bit. Brian as always is an insolent imp, and takes great joy in goading her. The Brian/Mel dynamic just keeps growing and changing in ways I've never imagined. And it's a great thing since they are both going to rely on it.

Stay Tuned Darling!

HAPPY READING and HUGS,

~Nichelle

Omg tears...that was awesome! And 'Uncle Tom' & Blake are related! Perfect.

Ya know my friend, that explanation of Justin's mannerisms and character: this is YOUR story and you seem to be worried about your readers feelings on any variation of said character(s). I say, there's no reason to explain your writings or the way YOU see the characters. I don't want or mean to sound bitchy in any way honey, I've just had it with people criticizing writers works of art. In my humble opinion, it's better to not say anything at all than to be rude or cruel to others in regards to the way they want a story or characters to move ahead or be different in their fanfics. 

Sorry for my little rant babe, I love you & all you write!

First of all, I'm so glad & happy to see that Bubba has shit for brans under control in prison. Yes Michael, you ARE that dumb! Secondly, nice to see Jennifer being so open & honest with the kids, sometimes adults want to protect children from the truth in their own lives so much, that they're not upfront with them. Where will the boys go? And lastly, yes, take those morons to jail Carl!!!

Wow! Is there really such a thing as the Wasp nest? I have no idea. I didn't grow up in the country club way but I did experience life as a Catholic Italian woman and my family & those like us had our own set of rules and traditions shall I say lol The Wasp nest just seems so outrageous, I'm just wondering if there's any truth to it. Haha another great chapter Nichelle!
