Okay... now it's time for my first feedback on this site... bad English be damned ...
Hi MissMerlot & Team,
First of all: you are such an awesome Writer and I'm sooo jealous of the quality and sheer amount of work output you have! (my own german-speaking muse is on vacation - unfortunately since many many months...)
You know, I realy don't like Michael at all. He is one of the characters that rubed me the wrong way since I knew about QaF. (Lindsay on regular basis and Debbie on ocassion are the others)
But I could never put my finger on the problem I had with little Mikey ... I knew that he must have a mental disease, but it never became clear what it may be - but because of this story, I know for the first time what Michael's diagnosis would be: He's a psychopath. A pathological liar, well practised conman and manipulator without conscience or remorse.
There is a test called 'Hare Psychopathy Checklist-Revised (PCL-R)'. If you take a look at the listed criteria and applies it to Michael you will know what is going on.
And now I'm so looking forward to his inevitable annihilation... and Debbie's as well. Lindsay's downfall too, but she dosen't need any help; she is working like a busy little worker bee all on her own on her social demise and alienation of friends and family.
The Novotnys on the other side will learn what they to this day never wanted to lern: they aren't the hub of the universe and nobody owes them anything!
I anticipate the gang will teach the Novotnys the meaning of remorse and realy rally around Brian, because we all know that eventually he will crumble - emotionaly, mentaly and if they aren't carefull physical as well. My hopes lie with Justin and his ability to catch his big guy when it comes to it.
I'm looking forward to the next update - on all your stories. They are simply great. I will try to leave a comment once in a while, but that's realy difficult for me, because I suck at writing in english.
So sorry for my mistakes and I hope you kann understand what I was trying to say...
many greatings from Germany
Katharina

Hallo Katharina,
First of all; Thank you for giving us your first review on this site. We feel honored. Seriously!!
Second: No need to apologize for your bad English for it isn't bad at all. But should you feel more at ease reviewing in German, feel free to do so. Ich spreche und schreibe Deutsch. Und kann übersetzen fur die nicht Deutsch sprechenden mitglieder im Team.
Wir versprechen dir hier und jetzt, die Abrechnung mit Michael und Debbie wird episch werden.
The only thing we can tell everybody is: Hold on to your chair folks, this is going to be one hell of a ride.
XOXO

OOOOHH SHIIITTTT!!!
There is no where Michael and Deb can hide that Brian won't find them he is not on just a Destroy Mission anymore, this Is Complete Annihilation when he gets through there won't even be dust.
Brian almost hitting Justin shows just how deep this betrayal is and how they will need to make sure Michael and Deb stay away from him at the Annihilation Party.
So Deb did know did she also keep notebooks and report to Jack?
They are so disgusting and evil that they make the devil cringe, they used Brian for their own selfish reasons and now this isn't Payback, It's The End, Not The Beginning of It, Just THE END.
Time To Take It All, Even The Crumbs!!!
Lindsay's pregnancy is her problem Brian has enough on his plate right now, though she might want to look into a facelift seems her outside is starting to match the inside lol
This chapter was painful and got me teary-eyed
Author's Response:
Hiya,
Yes, the shit has started to hit the fan and the total annihilation too.
This chapter is the beginning of an epic smackdown for Michael and Debbie.
They really deserve everything coming their way.

Good chapter. Now the mystery of the notebooks is out. Thanks for the add of Walgreens. Worked for them for years.
Author's Response:
Hiya,
Yep, the cesspool has openend up and the shit is starting to hit the fan.
And about the Walgreens add? You're welcome.
Now buckle in, fasten your seatbelt and get ready for a hell of a ride.

The beginning was hilarious, except Michael yelling after Gus.
The end is so sad and the adjective is really not enough to describe what is happening.
Author's Response:
Hiya,
This chapter was like a rollercoaster ride wasn't it? The Mel and Ben tease had me in giggles too. We all had fun writing that particular scene.
I couldn't find the right adjective for the end of the story either. I came up with devestating but that barely scratches the surface.
XOXO

Pregnant by whom? Brian needs to be given something to calm him down. Those books are enough to hurt anyone. I'm sure Mr. Slim will forgive him for what he almost did once he learns the cause. Deb and Michael are in for a world of hurt as pay back.
Author's Response:
Oh believe me the pay back for Deb and Michael will be beyond painfull
And you know what? They deserve everything coming to them
XOXO

I Knew That Nickel Whore Was Pregnant!!!
I don't think Mel or Ben would have been upset if they slept together, more like shocked that Mel let an actual dick anywhere near her lol
Them both screwing with Michael and Deb's mind will be hilarious.
Tuscany is beautiful and is having quite the effect on Brian and Justin they are closer than before.
So Michael reported to Jack about Brian's behavior and Jack abused Brian?
And he kept notebooks about everything Brian did and everything Jack did to Brian??
If that is the case then death isn't good enough for Michael, Hell isn't good enough for Michael!!!
I do wonder if Deb knew it would explain why she never got Brian out of the situation and kept Brian tied to her and Michael??
The Brian Kinney Protection Squad has gotten some new members I see :)
Author's Response:
Hell isn't good enough for Michael.
Hell wouldn't even want a venomous cockroach like Michael.
And Deb? Words fail me to describe her personality. She puts the Devil to shame.
XOXO

Great chapter. The Mel & Ben part is funny. Not a usual twosome.
Author's Response:
Thank you for your review.
I do agree with you, the Mel & Ben part is funny.
We, the authors, spend several hours giggling while writing this chapter.
It was sure fun to write the MIchael and Debbie mindfuck.
XOXO

Now were getting to the meat of the story. How could Michael? When does Brian find out?
Author's Response:
Brian will find out soon and let me tell you: The backlash is going to be epic.
Both Michael and Deb will rue the day they were born.
XOXO

Oh my....that was a super hot chapter. Amazing pictures of their Tuscany get away. Love the introduction of straight sexy men as possible love interest for two of the best fag have a couple of gay boys could ever want.
Ready for this party to be over......Deb and Michael can't get what they deserve soon enough for me. I too wonder what's in that notebook. My imagination is coming up with some really vile case scenarios.😷
Date: Mar 05, 2018 8:58 pm Title: Tuscan Love and Darker Skies
Uh Oh Snotty Lottie is going to be grounded for the rest of time or until she grows up and starts acting like a lady instead of tramp?
Who is Dead and Does Deb Know What Michael Did?
Does It Even Matter What Deb Does and Doesn't Know Concerning Michael?
No matter what Deb's hands will always be dirtier than Michael's cause she raised him to do anything to get what he wants.
Is Lindsay Pregnant?
Will Brian be ready to face what everyone has to tell him and will he be able to hold it together until the party?

Regarding the book Hopper found: it's about someone that is long dead; based on what Carl is saying, I would guess it involves Brian, Debbie and Michael. It couldn't be Vic, so I would bet on Brian's father. This suspense is killing me.
In the meantime, Brian and Justin are having some quality time and getting Lotti running to hide her shame, if it's something she can actually feel.
Author's Response:
Won't be long, we promise.
Happy reading

Wow, Hot chapter. Can't wait for the "lovely" party !!!!!!!!!

Justin sending the blankets is the final step he needed to get Gus' on his side.
Hopper's behaviour is great towards Lindsey and Michael.
What had Michael done that is putting Emmett in this state?
Date: Mar 05, 2018 1:42 pm Title: Tuscan Love and Darker Skies
I dearly want to know what is in that notebook that Hopper found. Lindsay and Deb are sick in more ways than one. So Lottie thought to join the fun and ended up all upset. Not as upset as she will be in Florence.

CLIFFHANGER !!!!!!!!!!!! Love and hate them at the same time. Oh, can't wait to see what is in that notebook.
Date: Feb 28, 2018 1:38 am Title: Under the Tuscan Sun...and Dark Skies
What did Michael do and what else is in that notebook????
Thank Goodness Hopper is smart enough to turn the tables on both Michael and Lindsay, and thanks to Lindsay's need for cleanliness Michael's nasty secret has been revealed.
Those glasses and that villa are beautiful and Gus with that blanky is Beyond Adorable.
Brian and Justin vacationing in Tuscany is just what they need cause when they get back Pittsburgh is going to be leveled.
Michael is so dead they are going to have to bury him twice.

Love this, but I'm not sure I can handle this cliffhanger! What the hell is in that notebook!!
*Deep breath* *Deep breath*
Okay, I'm calm now and will wait patiently for the next update.
*Hugs*

Loving everything about Tuscany. But what was in that notebook that Hopper found? I seriously need to know.
Date: Feb 27, 2018 11:55 pm Title: Under the Tuscan Sun...and Dark Skies
Okay the suspense is killing me, what has Michael done?
Date: Feb 26, 2018 4:33 pm Title: On Their Way to Tuscany...Well Almost
Gus is a great kid and his relation with Justin is building nicely.
Michael is atrocious; his mind is so dark and full of envy and jealousy.
Date: Feb 26, 2018 4:29 am Title: On Their Way to Tuscany...Well Almost
All that over the color brown? At least they've made up. Love that Gus wants Justin to have a room.
Date: Feb 26, 2018 4:27 am Title: On Their Way to Tuscany...Well Almost
Michael is "The Drop-In Dad" he always called Brian because unlike Brian he doesn't use his child to up his status quo, Brian loved Gus the moment he held, Michael only loves Jenny when she is useful.
Lindsay is exactly the same way she uses Gus for status and the money Brian gives, what love she has for Gus doesn't supersede her need to be Powerful and Envied.
Hell even Deb craves that which goes to show like is always attracted to like and that means they are easy to destroy.
Brian and Justin are funny with the way the tick each other off and turn each other on.
Gus is so adorable!!
Carl is Happy with Delores.
Can't Wait For The Party, But first Italy Fun Awaits!! :)
Author's Response:
The party will be epic!! But first some fun in the sun.
And fun it will be.
I too love how happy Carl is. He certainly deserves his piece of the happiness pie.
And yes Gus is super adorable.
XOXO

Michael is incredible: he wants to get money from Jenn's trust fund to pay Mel, as if he would put the money back one day. His hero is hideous; even Debbie, who doesn't know lots about comics, founds it bad.
Brian's house is impressive. Lindsey would be sick if she saw it.
Tyra is very cute: no wonder Gus likes it.
Great chapter!

How nice that Ben is considered a parent for Jenny. Don't see how Michael, Debbie, and Lindsay think they'll get back in Brian's good graces.
Author's Response:
Michael, Debbie and Lindsay getting back in Brian's good graces will be as impossible as flapping your arms and flying to the moon, right?
And yes, Ben IS a parent in every meaning of the word and then some. Jenny can consider herself one lucky little lady with a daddy like that
XOXO
