Wow. This was really well written
Author's Response:
Thank you! I forget sometimes exactly what I've written and an unexpected review gives me the chance to visit something again. This was a killer - pardon the pun. Thanks for your kind words.

Brian is in the third grade when he's paired up to be Justin's buddy on the first day of school, Justin only a kindergartner but they immediately connect. This is not the average, boy meets boy, best friends turn into lovers story. Brian is terrified that he has found love in Justin, and Justin represses his love for him. They both find love with another man, the same man, but will end up together. Love, hate, death, forgiveness, pain, suffering and joy has been thrown into a cauldron and has boiled over into this piece of fiction so take a deep breath, grab the tissues and enjoy.

Beautifully heartbreaking. So many assumptions and miscommunication.
This is a continuation of "Close to Home II", the story where Brian is confined to a wheelchair.

I loved it, I wish there was a part 5.
Author's Response: Thanks for your comment. I actually started part 5 but stuck as to where to take the story.
Following Gus who proves he knew from the start it was Al.
Lorie always thank you for everything you do for me as my beta.

Loved this story. Looking forward to more
No one had been more shocked than Brian when Melanie, of all people, had suggested that, since she didn't really celebrate Christmas, but J.R. was heading to Pittsburgh to be with her dads, perhaps Brian and Justin would rather come to Toronto to have a more subdued celebration with Lindsay and Gus.
"Lindsay never really gets to enjoy the decorations she puts up, since we're rushing around and then traveling during this time," Mel had explained. "I just thought it would be nice if you and Justin wanted to come to our place instead… You know, let Linds and Gus go all out, and then have a nice quiet holiday at home."
"Quiet" was all Brian needed to hear before he agreed.

Brian and Justin travel to Toronto to spend Christmas with a small part of their chosen family.

I absolutely loved this series. I hope this isn't the end.
It’s funny how life works sometimes -- in cycles, repeating the same themes in different ways with different situations. Leaving it up to us to recognize a familiar situation and call on our past experience to get through it. But sometimes you can’t see the forest for the trees.

Justin decides to make a huge transition in his career, but things are not always what they seem.

Everything was perfect.
Brian and I were finally together in New York, making both of our dreams come true. I was working from a spacious, comfortable studio in SoHo, and the first show of my return to the city was scheduled for the following weekend. Brian was out with a real estate broker, looking at potential office spaces for the soon-to-be New York expansion of Kinnetik. We had wedding rings on our fingers, having finally tied the knot a few years before, in front of all of our family and friends in Pittsburgh.
Our lives were full of new and exciting opportunities, both professionally and personally. I felt like everything was falling into place in a nice, neat, orderly fashion, one piece after another.
Then, I had the misfortune of being in the wrong place at the wrong time. And the puzzle that was my life -- so carefully and painstakingly assembled over the years -- was picked up and thrown to the ground, scattering the pieces everywhere.
And everything wasn’t so perfect anymore.

I loved the connection and they way their relationship evolved. It was cute that Brian felt the need to explain their last interaction. â¤ï¸
Author's Response:
Hey, Nissa! Thank you so much. I was a little nervous about that whole knowing each other their whole life thing. You help calmed my nerves. And a different story again without the Avenue involved. And this Brian? Much more sensitive... LOL
Thanks for reading and reviewing and supporting my attempt here.
Hugs,
Cathy â¤ï¸
