Bio:
“All I’m saying is, someone should have called Justin.”
The blond young man standing outside the door to the diner was surprised to hear his name in a conversation coming from inside.
“Brian told me not to. What was I supposed to do, go against his wishes and do it anyway?” Justin recognized this voice -- Michael.
“I know he told you not to. I was there.” Ben. “I said it then, and I’ll say it again now: It’s disrespectful to Justin to not tell him, or at least warn him ahead of time. Can you imagine what it’s going to be like Justin walks in and sees him?”

His life is in NYC, not just with Justin, but because he can be himself there. No one knows him and it is more accessible.
Date: Apr 25, 2022 Title: Chapter 3: Invincible
It must have been so hard for the rest of the family as well, and their nagging only shows how much they love him
Date: Apr 25, 2022 Title: Chapter 1: Changed
Reading this for a second time and it's like reading it for the first time all over again. I am picking up bits I missed the first time around. I totally get why Brian didn't tell Justin, his reasons made perfect sense and what I loved was that Justin totally understood.
Date: Jul 20, 2021 Title: Chapter 12: Acceptance
You made me cry again. You are my favourite author. I am so happy I found you.
Date: Jul 20, 2021 Title: Chapter 10: Desire
Justin showed him how he still thinks of him as strong and sexy. It's easy enough to say it, but to be shown it's true is another thing. Way to go, Justin.
Date: Jul 19, 2021 Title: Chapter 1: Changed
I can't be lieve Brian didn't tell Justin, but I completely understand his reasoning, and it makes sense when you hear his reasoning.
I am looking forward to hearing how they manage life together like this.
Date: Jul 19, 2021 Title: Chapter 2: Together
Justin is so fucking accepting, I love that about him.
Date: Jul 19, 2021 Title: Chapter 4: Let Go
Brian needs to do this, for himself, to feel like he's in control again.
Date: Jul 19, 2021 Title: Chapter 5: Decisions
They're talking so much more now than ever, I am so proud of Brian for admitting all of this to Justin.
Date: Jul 19, 2021 Title: Chapter 6: Reflection
Well, this made me cry, especially the scene with Deb at the end.
I have a friend who became a paraplegic five years ago, and what you have written is so accurate, the grief, the anger, everything.
Date: Jul 19, 2021 Title: Chapter 7: Reunification
Yay, so happy he was brave enough to ask Justin to move in with him. And hopefully, he'll take Justin's advice and stop comparing himself to how he used to be.
Date: Jul 19, 2021 Title: Chapter 8: Alive
It takes courage to speak to someone, so Brian is being brave here.
Date: Jul 20, 2021 Title: Chapter 11: Revolution
That party may be a bad idea....
Date: Jul 20, 2021 Title: Chapter 9: Repercussions
What Justin said, about how you're not in their mind though, is so true. I think we all do this to some extent.
Date: Jul 19, 2021 Title: Chapter 6: Reflection
Well, this made me cry, especially the scene with Deb at the end.
I have a friend who became a paraplegic five years ago, and what you have written is so accurate, the grief, the anger, everything.
Brian asked Justin a very important question when the "Changed" series concluded. What will his answer be? Where will they go from here?

I forgot how much I loved Rob.
Date: Apr 28, 2022 Title: Chapter 12: Relief
I really do like seeing Brian letting out his emotions like this.
Date: Apr 27, 2022 Title: Chapter 4: Upside Down
I am an emotional wreck reading this.
Date: Apr 27, 2022 Title: Chapter 3: Moving On
Our boys cannot catch a break, can they?
You are such a wonderful writer.

You are such a wonderful writer.

I will never not cry reading this chapter. Not only was it beautiful just imagining Brian walking towards Justin and them getting to hug and kiss standing up, but those wedding vows were perfection.
Date: Jul 25, 2021 Title: Chapter 28: Renewal, Part One: Past, Present, and Future
I don't want to keep reading because then I am done and I am not ready for that. This is such a beautiful world you have created. So well written and so easy to picture.
God bless the sex chair.
Date: Jul 25, 2021 Title: Chapter 26: Rebirth
Cynthia and Brian are amazing together and I really hope they get to have more of this in later stories. I am sad I am almost done though. Like I really am in love with this story. It's my favourite.
I am excited about the standing chair, another thing I suggested and didn't know you had planned haha.
I would love to see Brian maybe try a disabled sports game, like basketball or dodgeball. Something sporty, because he was. Maybe he and Rob join a team?
Justin definitely needs to introduce full-body massages to their routine, which you mentioned in the last chapter. That is something my friend said she cannot do without now. Her boyfriend also does VERY light ankle weight exercises while holding her legs, to help her muscles.
Date: Jul 25, 2021 Title: Chapter 27: Reinvention
Justin sounds like the most amazing art teacher, I am so happy Adam convinced him to do it for those two weeks and that now Justin wants to take it on full time. Sometimes you just need someone else to show you the way a little.
Yoga is brilliant and it's something I could see Justin becoming really into, which would probably make Brian roll his eyes, but be secretly happy for him.
I can't wait to "see" what Brian thinks of the work at Nick's restaurant. I hope it helps his business, but mostly I hope it makes Brian happy to know Justin did this for him and for others in his situation.
I don't want this to ever end.
Date: Apr 26, 2022 Title: Chapter 1: Familiarity
Have you watched a girl called Makayla on Youtube, she also has a SCI (I believe her neck) and I love watching her videos with her trainer. They work so hard and it's amazing the things they have managed to achieve.
I am glad Brian is allowing Justin to look after him a little more.
