NOOOOOOOOOOOO. What did you do, Brian?
Date: Jul 20, 2021 Title: Chapter 7: Take Care
I love Debbie and Brian's relationship so much here. My heart is aching for Brian :/
Date: Jul 20, 2021 Title: Chapter 6: Post Trauma
Thank fuck he woke up and remembered Brian. I don't know what I would have done if he didn't. My heart is in my throat though, ahh!
Date: Jul 20, 2021 Title: Chapter 5: Strong Enough
I forgot about the paintings too, Brian, it's okay :( I am so happy that Michael is around and being the friend that Brian needs right now.
Date: Jul 20, 2021 Title: Chapter 4: Upside Down
This lump in my throat won't go away, I cried this whole chapter.
Date: Jul 20, 2021 Title: Chapter 3: Moving On
ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?? Jesus, how am I supposed to go to sleep now?
Author's Response:
Heh... this chapter is the catalyst for the whole rest of this story 😉
Date: Jul 20, 2021 Title: Chapter 2: Beautiful
OMG I suggested Brian purchase a standing chair, and he goes and does this. That was beautiful, I could just picture Justin's face when he saw him and got to hug him while being smaller than him again. Love this story so much. Thank you for it.
Date: Jul 20, 2021 Title: Chapter 1: Familiarity
I know you have finished this story, but I would LOVE a one shot where Brian gets himself a standing chair. My friend raised money for one and it's amazing. She saw so much improvement in her legs and she stopped getting pressure sores. Also, for him to be taller than Justin again would be so cute.
Author's Response:
All I can say is... keep going 😉 I'm so excited for you diving in and your comments are giving me life!
Date: Jul 25, 2021 Title: Chapter 25: Release
Way to go Justin. Doing something that freaks you out so much is always hard, but what he did was even harder. But he did it.
It was wonderful to hear Justin yell Bria the prom wasn't his fault, he needed to hear it - even if it didn't need to be said. And hearing the prom night from his POV was so wonderfully heartbreaking.
The title says it all. AU Canon

I love how they're starting to realise they're liking each other as people and not just because they have to be friends for their meetings, you know?
Author's Response:
Yes, they like each other but can't let each other know- that is the fun part

Ooooh, I think I love Jeremy already. He seems like a really good person in Justin's life and he really needed that chat with him. Let's hope Brian agrees to what he suggests :)
Author's Response:
Jeremy is a great guy. He is really helpful for Justin.
Date: Sep 17, 2021 Title: Chapter 48: Chapter 48- Moving Forward
Aw I am so happy Brian asked Justin to hang out. This slow burn is killing me but I love it.
Also, it's normal for Brian to have those feelings, it was his dad after all. Even though he was a bastard, your emotions still sometimes go, yeah but he's my dad...
Author's Response:
The slow burn is really needed due to Brian not needing to get involved in a realtionship for awhile.
Date: Jul 16, 2021 Title: Chapter 46: Chapter 46- The Show
Look at Brian actually enjoying a hug. It's because he's never really had a proper friend, and he's got some great ones now with Justin, Ted, and Emmett watching over him.
Author's Response:
Brian has always looked at touch as a way to get off, not for comfort or friendship

Way to go Brian. God, the ladies are so dumb and they clearly care about themselves more than their kid.
Author's Response:
Brian is going to do whatever he needs to do for Gus.
Date: Jul 16, 2021 Title: Chapter 40: Chapter 40- Messages
I am so mad at Melanie right now, all of them actually.
Author's Response:
melanie is a real pain. her only goal is to give Brian difficulty.
Date: Jul 16, 2021 Title: Chapter 32: Chapter 32- Looking Out Over Pittsburgh
Awww, Brian should have tried the ropes, that would have been fun to see. How lovely that Gus felt comfortable enough to open up to Justin.
Author's Response:
Brian knows his limitations, but he doesn't want to show off to Gus.
Date: Jul 16, 2021 Title: Chapter 34: Chapter 34- The Joy of Life
