I was kind of thinking something was going to happen, but not that!! And I'm kind of glad that John isn't the father after all. Samantha was really trying to get him back, and I think if her daughter really was John's, she would have kept on trying...
He could tell Michael that he loved him. Always had, always will. Brian wasn’t sure why saying “I love you” to Michael was so easy -- why it was different. Why the words flowed off his tongue with Michael but felt stuck in his throat with Justin.

I for one am very glad that Brian is staying out of the Lindsay / Melanie mess. He has done all he can, and too much of it. They just need to figure things out for themselves.
What would have been different if someone had gotten their wish?

This was a good story. As sad it was that Justin was taken advantage of, I was happy to see Brian stick by his side, even though some of his own things were stolen. He didn't try and shift some of the blame to Justin, which he could have done, as he was the one who left Rue alone in the loft for a few minutes. He just comforted him and tried to make Justin feel better, and that was enough to help Justin get through it.
Author's Response: Thank you.
Some big changes are in store for members of the Sunshine family.

Good for Lindsay!! It is definitely time for her to move on from Mel and just be happy. I don't think she's been really happy for a very long time.

I'd say something is definitely going on with Michael and Ben. Michael got even more annoying and jealous than usual. But I do agree with Justin, that they will need to set some boundaries with him.

This was a great story!! And even though he didn't want any celebrations, it was very nice what everybody did for him. He did deserve it, though, as he ended up being a great mayor and helping a lot of people.
Author's Response: Thank you very much.
Brian was offered the job in New York in Season 1. He set up an apartment, planning for Justin to move there after Graduation and attend art school, but only telling Jennifer and Daphne their plans. Meanwhile, Michael moved to Portland with David, but when their relationship goes south, Michael takes off to New York with plans to move in with Brian and prove they were meant to be together. Canon until S1, Ep 21.

Michael always seemed to have an unhealthy obsession over Brian and he never understood Brian's feeling for Justin, or even the fact that he would end up loving him. It's no surprise that he ended up delusional; and I'm glad he is in a psychiatric hospital, rather than jail. He wouldn't get any help at all there.
One shot. Standalone fic. Post-513.
Justin comes home for the holidays. For good.

That was a great ending to the story, and I agree with Brian, that if Melanie continues the way she has been, he very well could be asking the judge to terminate her rights to Gus. I can't see her changing anything about herself to try and get along with Brian at all. That woman is too stuck in her ways to do that. And Michael, he just lost his best friend, because Brian won't have anything more to do with him at all. And it's his own fault, too.
Author's Response: Thanks so much for your review. I'm glad you enjoyed the story and the way the characters played out.
Justin has an idea for a new project.

This was a great story and I loved the ending!! Brian really put Justin through the ringer, but he just wasn't able to admit his real feelings. I'm just glad that Justin knew all about the Kinney cliff and had read the Kinney operating manual way more than one time, so he was able to anticipate Brian's ever changing moods and didn't back down.
Author's Response: I love to think about how the relationship between Brian and Justin would play out. Thanks.

New take on Episode 301. What would have possibly happened if Justin had been the one to punch Michael instead of Brian? Thank you Deb Tanner for the idea involving Justin hearing Michael's rant at the Anniversary Party!

This was a great story!! I liked how it in this story, Brian and Justin were only apart a week after the Rage party instead of months like in the show. They were both regretting being away from each other and talked it out and got back together - on their own terms!!
