Loved it!! I am loving Briana; she is just perfect and definitely makes their little family perfect. It was great that Melanie finally got to see the Brian that everyone has been talking about for so long. Hopefully now, she'll finally accept how much he really has changed!!

Summary:

 

Brian has an idea that disturbs him, and it leads to a series of even more disturbing rumors.

I liked Justin's way of dealing with the situation - showing his and Brian's life together in the series of sketches. And I also loved Justin telling them all off, too, which they totally deserved. And Michael did not surprise me in his choosing of the arrogant Brian. I don't think he will ever accept that Brian and Justin are together.

Summary:

Brian realizes he wants more than a reputation. He meets an artist in New York and finds what he was looking for.

 

Justin didn't grow up in Pittsburgh but New York, where he meets Brian.

 

None of the events in cannon that involve Justin happened to him.

The plot thickens!!! This was a great chapter, and definitely an eye opener for Joan!! She really got an up close and personal look into Brian and Justin's life and everyone included in their family and, if I'm not mistaken, may have even had a revelation. Could she actually be coming around? I sure hope so!!

BETRAYAL by Julesmonster Rated: A half-star [Reviews - 55]
Summary: Feature

The reason I recommend 'Betrayal' by Julesmonster is not only because it's so well written, creating a wonderfully detailed AU world, but also because these characters are so much more mature and (in some respects) real than the ones we saw in the show. By keeping their relationship out of the view of the Family, both Brian and Justin had time to grow and change and become the people we want to see them as. It's a wonderful read and the fact that it's part of a nice long series will keep you entertained for many fanfic-filled nights. Enjoy! - TAG    

Everyone thinks Brian and Justin broke up after the attack at the Prom. What happens when they find out that Justin never was out of the picture? And what have he and Brian been up to in the meantime? Some Michael bashing...

Loved the story!! And as soon as Justin started picking up signals in the comic, he new something was up, but just couldn't put his finger on it. But I am glad that it was Brian that figured it out, told him off in front of everyone and even punched him out. What was even better was no one came to his defense or even asked if he was okay. But either way, both Brian and Justin are both finished with him.

Yes, I'm thinking a restraining order may be in Michael's future after all. How does he really think that Brian is going to change his mind after everything he's done. Michael is not playing with a full deck. It's just a shame that Brian had to suffer in losing most of his friends and family; that is not right.

Summary:

 

Brian and Justin have moved on without Michael in their lives. What happens when Michael turns destructive?

All I gotta say is Michael is very lucky to have Brian and Justin in his corner. After everything he did to them, they still stood by him to make sure he was sent somewhere he could get the help that he needed.

Summary:

Gus wants a dog, Brian wants horses, Gabe wants presents, and Justin wants them all to be happy.

I am so happy that Brian and Joan's relationship is getting better by the day. She really does seem like she's changing, and for the better. Craig on the other hand? I can't see him seeing the light of day no matter what. He sees what he wants and no one can change his mind, though I think Susan is getting sick and tired of him...

Summary:

Brian and Justin face becoming a family in their own unique way... but not everyone is happy for them.

I recently started and am now all caught up with the story, and I'm loving it!! I am so so happy that Brian and Justin are back together and Justin is back at the loft, where he belongs. I am very much looking forward to seeing how Justin's appt goes to see how he's improving, as well as finding out what new info Carl has about the burglary. Hopefully, he will be able to shed a little light into what really happened.

Author's Response:

Welcome to our story, Sarah! :) We're thrilled to have you and to hear how much you like Tricky Business.

You're lucky to have waited... You didn't have to endure the slow burn before Justin and Brian got back together. They still have a ways to go, but it looks like they're headed in the right direction. (You wouldn't want us to be too definite about that, right? :D)

We're working on the scene at the urologist's now, along with a few other scenes. We're all rooting for the blond to get a clean bill of health!

Carl and Wen report that they are making progress with the burglary and soon may even be able to shed a little light on what happened. Whatever "soon" means in cop-speak...

Thanks for commenting! :) It's much appreciated. There's finally a teaser up in the FanDoc for the next chapter. Take a look if you haven't already.
