Yum, that sounds delicious. Thanks for sharing the recipe.
Michael and Ray aren't going to know what hit them. They think they are so smart.
Thanks for the update.

Where the Hell did Michael come up with idea to tell Ray Justin was in love with him?
Justin would rather have scurvy than a relationship with Ray lol
Vance and Reinhard deserve exactly what they are going to get, but it will be nothing compared to what Michael is going to get by sending Ray to try to get in between Brian and Justin.
Gus is just so Cute!.
Love the Sunday in bed relaxing with his Daddies and Ruby it is just so damn sweet.
Can't wait for Michael and Ray to get back to Pittsburgh this is going to be Fun for everyone else but them ;)

Gotta say my head spun a bit with what Michael is up to. I mean WOW! Where on earth did he come up with that? I'm racking my brain trying to remember if Justin and Ray even interacted much. I know they worked together but....I'm just florred that Michael is even attempting this. Even more so that Ray seems to be falling for it! I am SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO looking forward to any repercussions from that! Everyone, even Gus would laugh in the guy's face! Michael is going to be in a world of hurt once people find out wht he's up to. Especially if they figure out hsi attitude towards Gus! I mean WOW!
Speaking of Gus. Is he not just the sweetest little boy??!?! I love how you've written him! I just want to gobble the little guy up. He must make his parents so damn proud! Whre Michael has the freaking audasity to presume he;s spoilt! Dear lord man...look in teh freakign mirror! ARG! Anyway, what a nice thing, hand writing thank you notes. I remember doing those when I was a child as well. A nice genture that just doesn't happen that much anymore.
Oh I am sooooooooo looking forward to what's going to happen down the road. Between Michael, Ray, Vance and Reinhold there's going to be some fun filled chapters ahead! Well, fun for us, maybe not so much for those mentioned above. lol
Cheers

What a plan for Ray to get Justin; he won't see what's going to hit him once Brian will find out!

Date: Aug 24, 2017 11:25 am Title: And Nobody Notices...Well Not at First Anyway
I'm wondering how Michael came up with the idea of using Ray to go after Justin? Brilliant. Gus is too cute for words. Now I have to wait to find out what you have planned next!

I just want to eat Gus up. He's just so damn cute. I love their morning in bed working on Thank You cards.
Michael is in for a world of hurt.

My goodness. Deb blasted Michael but good! I can't beleive the things he was saying. Unbelieveable. Gut wrentching. imagine telling someone they "owed you" a relationship. UGH!
LOL..Vanguard and Reinhard are completely screwed! "dorothy and rose" are wonders adn like brian said, glad they're on their side! formidable enemies that's for sure!
Our boys talking to Gus...asking him for permission was just so sweet. Again, melted my heart. I'm such a pile of goo when it comes to the boys and their relationship with Gus and ruby. And that gus wanted to be the one to tell Ruby...what a wonderful big brother.
I'm kind of hyssterics. Michael seems to think that going off to London, tryng to garner a relationship with Ray is going to make a speck of difference to anyone! Again, he's in for a rude awakening. He and Ray can scheme and plot all they want, but it will only be to their own detriment. Could be entertaining though! LOL

First off a mere slap wasn't good enough! It also had little effect on him. Neither did the toungue lashing he got from Deb and Vic. He doesn't really believe Brian is sincere in his admonition either. He is in for SUCH a rude awakening!! Looking forward to it. LOL. Couldn't happen to a better asshole. :)
Gus was able to left the veil of the emotional cloud most brilliantly. Five fice fuck Pie....OMG. I aboslutely howled! so bloddy funny! If he only knew how much solace he brings to the family.
Brian proves himself to be wonderfully romantic. He may not have ever believed if of himself, but he's proven himself and everyone else wrong. Heart stoppingly romantic!
wonderful chapter!!!!!
Cheers,

I'm so happy they are getting married. It was so cute that he asked Gus's permission.
Thanks for the update.
Hugs,

Ah ah ah, Michael is going to London!!! Poor Ray, he doesn't know what will hit him!
Date: Aug 23, 2017 4:00 pm Title: Hero Worship and Spitting Feathers
It's great that Brian sticks to his decision and dismisses Michael; it was long time due!
The ring is really nice; I didn't know that collection.
Date: Aug 23, 2017 4:37 am Title: Feasting on the Bones and Nailing It
Bye bye Mickey. Will anyone notice that he is gone?

Date: Aug 23, 2017 2:08 am Title: Hero Worship and Spitting Feathers
Love Gus' pie, that was quite a mouthfull. It must have tasted wonderful for Justin to be so upset about not getting more. Giving him the ring in a pie was unbelievably good. Michael doesn't seem to get the fact that he's blown it. Love how Manny is all for David and Andrew and wants to dress Grace. This story gets better and better all the time.

Date: Aug 23, 2017 1:40 am Title: Feasting on the Bones and Nailing It
Hahaha. Michael actually thinks Brian's going to give a shit if he goes to London, somehow I don't think Ray is going to be happy. Gus on the other hand is very happy. First at the changes to his house and the fact that they are staying with Brian and Justin until after Christmas and then to find out that Brian and Justin will be getting married!

Date: Aug 23, 2017 12:53 am Title: Feasting on the Bones and Nailing It
Mel and Gus both got lovely surprises that will make their home brighter and truly theirs from now on, all ugly flat Ass, self-absorbed ghost have been eradicated and the home is cleansed anew for Mel, Leda, Gus and Ruby to be happy and whole.
Love that Brian and Justin asked Gus for his permission to their marriage and he was the one to tell everyone that his Daddies are getting married.
Hope Ray is ready to welcome Michael with open arms?
So how long before he is back? :(

OMG!!! Five Fuck Pie!!! Gus Is Too Cute For Words!!! lmao
That was just what Brian needed after dealing with The Whiny Bitch known as Michael 'Asshole' Novotny.
Of course Michael would ignore everything that was said and just of course think of his wants and needs.
Not surprised Michael doesn't know anything about Gus he sees him as an obstacle keeping Brian from paying attention to him.
Deb taking some of the blame for the way Michael is is a good thing cause she is to blame for some of it, but Michael deserves the rest because he feels the world owes him so why should he put forth any effort to work for any effort.
He has always been a child playing at being a grownup and he will never change.
Brian was so very Ridiculously Romantic with a bath, dinner, a ring from Cartier, painted toes and Hot Sex that Always leaves Scorch Marks everywhere <giggles>
Brian is moving on with his life and Michael is left in the past where he belongs.

I am enjoying this story alot.
lah
Date: Aug 18, 2017 3:13 pm Title: A Promise is a Promise...Remember That
Finally a promise that Brian will be more than happy to keep: Michael out!
As for what is happening with Vance, I'm not sure how it would have left Brian destitute at the risk of losing all and then Gus to Lindsey. He has Kinnetik, then what about the impact of losing Vance's shares? Is it because of losing the new client?
Gus is really too adorable with everyone and especially with his daddy and papa.
Author's Response:
He may be out but he's not down yet!
As for Vance, when he was fired Brian didn't have Kinnetic then. If he had gone to the meeting and the shares got back to Vance, he would've been made to look foolish and the reputational damage would've been immense, the client was never going to sign with him he was in cahoots with Vance all along.
Oh yes we do love Gus!
Happy reading.

Michael and Ray. Phoebe is right Michael will try to get in touch with Ray in London, more fool him. Michael burnt all his bridges when he managed to get Brian fired from Vanguard and he actually thinks he did Brian a favor?!! It's great that Brian was the one to come up with a name for David's dog, though I do like tinkerbell I think Grace is perfect. Love how Vic told Michael off and that he's not invited to the wedding. I could hear Vic's voice saying it. Michael never knew Brian not the way Justin does. Wonderfully long chapter. How do you do it?
Date: Aug 18, 2017 10:35 am Title: A Promise is a Promise...Remember That
My heart is breaking for Brian. The one person who he thought would always be there for him has utterly betrayed him. I'm glad the family is standing behind him to try to comfort him in some way.
Can't wait for date night. ;)
Thanks for the update.

It went from a Awesome High with the parties, games, food, puppies, New relationship to an intense low with Michael trying to spoil everything.
But Brian PROMSING that he is Fucking Done with Michael is Stupendous!!
Also being uninvited from Vic and Rodney's wedding again is sad and yet appropriate.
Too bad Michael won't listen :(
Hope Ray has room for Michael?? lol

AS I mentioned in Taxi, I'm back and had to reread everything to catch up and read the ones I missed. there were several. Dear lordy I missed alot fo things didn't I!!
Michael...what words can truly describe him. Stupid is a compliment. I can't believe teh lengths he's gone to, and yet he didn't once think of any ramificaitons. He never once thought of what his plans could do to Brian's business. He just wants what he wants and fuck anyone who stands in his way...including brian. I'm sure he knew that brian would catch some shit, but the fact that he could've lost everything never occurred to him. Even if it did, he just figured he'd be there for his "best friend" and be the suportive shoulder. He has absolutely no idea just how far he's taken things and I can't wait for Tuesday!!!!!!!!!!!!
The birthday party was awsome and what happened to Michael was hilarious! I laughed my ass off reading that!!
Oh waht a great story! Am enjoying both of them so much and am so happy that I finally had the time to read and review. Thank you so much! You made my recent down time most enjoyable!!
cheers

What a chapter full of angst and some fun too.
I loved "Ted claps his hand over my mouth and Cyn sits on me. But I’m watching Randolph write frantically." That was really funny even if the event wasn't funny at all.
So: Michael and Ray are out and Grady's sister is in! Great news!
