This is my favorite favorite story!!! I don’t even know how many times I’ve read it...
Author's Response:
Becky,
Thanks for the sweet review. I'm glad you enjoy this story so much. It's one of my favorites. The cat 'Patches' in the story is my cat. She doesn't have any heart problems though, I got that part from one of my dogs. Devil was a Pomeranian that I got from the shelter, he had a heart murmur and was going to be put down, I took him anyway and he lived for 3 more years, being loved and cared for, he was a sweetheart.

Justin is living in NYC with his boyfriend, Connor James, who is an actor. He comes home from a trip to Pittsburgh to find a 'Dear John' letter from Connor who's gone to LA for a movie part. The next morning Justin wakes to find Brian Kinney pounding on his door, apparently thinking he's sublet the apartment. Brian is just starting a new job in NYC. Justin has nowhere to go either. It seems like the best solution is to just share the apartment, at least for a while. It pretty quickly becomes apparent though that these two men aren't exactly compatible roomies. But there's a definite attraction between them too. How are these two very different men going to handle cohabiting in a small apartment? A QAF Fanfic Novella very loosely based on the classic movie, The Odd Couple.

You'd think it was a Christmas fic wouldn't you? If that's what you're looking for - best to just move on - ‘cause there is no Santa here...
...instead, what we really have is a series of snippets in which our favorite QAF characters happen to overhear the boys in the throes of passion - and can hardly believe their ears...
Some canon - some definitely not - some that could be - with timelines that work for this story - all showing a ‘depth of love' that is only Brian/Justin - and for me, will always be!

High school senior Justin Taylor has two passions in life: literature and Brian Kinney. Unfortunately for Justin, Mr. Kinney happens to be his English teacher at St. James Academy, making their relationship even more forbidden than Romeo and Juliet’s. After signing up as stage manager for the school’s holiday play, which Mr. Kinney is directing, Justin learns that his teacher’s life is more tragic than anything Shakespeare ever wrote.

My eyes...my eyes!! I don’t like think about Mikey dressed much less undressed! Puking now????????????????????
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.

I really like like this story, but it makes me very very angry…at both Mikey the weasel and Brian the idiot. Mikey I get…he’s just being the obtuse asshole he’s always been, but Brian…at some point you have to realize that just because you’ve been friends with someone since you were 14 doesn’t mean you have to remain friends with them forever. And I absolutely hate Deb for refusing to handle her own son and guilting Brian into taking responsibility for him. If I were Justin I’m not sure I’d want someone back how could treat me so shitty while catering to the whiney weasel. Cowlip should have left Mikey in Portland so everyone else could lead a happy life

You’ve been updating your other stories...so what about this one???
Author's Response:
Hello Becky,
I haven't forgotten about it, but I don't believe in putting out just anything simply for the sake of saying it's been updated. It wouldn't be fair to you as the audience, myself as the author, nor the story itself which deserves to be told authentically. Unfortunately, that means that I have to wait for the next chapter to reveal itself in its entirety. I will say that it's half done, but there are some more things that need to happen within it. So as I wait, I write.... and write... and write.
Please keep in mind that I'm also a Mom of 2 with special needs, a parent advocate for parents of children of special needs within my school district, a daughter who is medically trained to take care of everyone and everything (myself excluded, most of the time), and a writer in real life whose manuscripts are also in progress and demand my attention as well. So during this quarantine, I'm exceptionally busy due to conference calls and other situations that take me away from KD. Also, my blessing is also my curse in that I believe wholeheartedly in producing a quality story that you as my audience can get lost in for a little while. Believe me when I say that as impatient as you might feel for the story, is even moreso for me since I also want to know how it all unfolds. I'm not one to write simply for shock value or reviews, which are definitely appreciated and extremely validating that I'm doing my job.
Simply put: I do it because I can't NOT write. It's as natural as breathing to me, and just as vital. Without it, I would go crazy. And you all might be reading ABOUT me, instead of falling into my fictional worlds. Actually, it's been touch and go for the last few weeks LOL
I hope I made you smile a little bit there, and thank you so much for your continued support of my work and vision. It certainly doesn't go unnoticed or is taken for granted in the least!
Be well, safe and HAPPY!
HUGS,
~Nichelle
