Wonderful chapter, from Ted and Emmett's 'talk', to Brian surprising Ted and Blake that really says what he thinks of them. A house? God, why can't I have a friend like Brian right now?! LOL! He really is a gem and Ted/Blake honor him by appreciating that, unlike Michael...
And speaking of the IDIOT man... Could he be any more wrong in that moment?! I wanted someone to walk outside, pick up a fire hydrant Incredible Hulk- style, go back in and the smack the F*CK out of him!!!! How inconsiderate and idiotic and...AND!!!!! Not only was he invasive in going through Brian's office to find the bottle of Dewars, but his jealousy was front and center. I'm sure had Justin not shown up, Michael would have been his usual thoughtless, yet half-way angelic-in-front-of-his-blind Mama, self. So since nothing he could possibly say would get Brian to pay attention, let alone disturb him and Justin, he moved on to cause unhappiness for Ted and Blake, specifically because it would have been the most effective. After all, mistery loves company, and God forbid that Michael should suffer ALONE! Ben should throw is ass into a cellar Kathy Bates in Misery-style (yes sledgehammer included) and throw the damn key in the middle of the Ohio River. It's the only way everyone else would be able to restore sanity!
Looking forward to MORE!
Happy Writing and HUGS,

Chelle,
Ted has come a long way due to Brian's influence. Brian appreciates Ted and just wants to show him how much he means to him. We could all use a friend like that sometimes.
The weasel just wants to be the center of attention and if he isn't he will show just how nasty he really is. Since he is barely a thought in the story we didn't want to get into what Ben had to say when they got home. But the weasel probably didn't enjoyed the lecture.
More soon. <3

Great chapter. Just enough Mikey idiot, but not enough to ruin it. And, they say Brian is the bad guy !!!!!!! He is the best friend anyone could have.
Author's Response:
Marilynne,
Michael will only be in a few times, but what he says later is a lot worse.
Brian is 'in your face' and brutally honest. He is also the best friend anyone could have, too bad weasel never saw that.

Ted is channeling Brian. First with Em which he handled just right. Husband tops best friend always. Glad Em understood that and accepted it. Then storming over to Brian's in anger before even talking to Blake. All classic Kinney of old moves. Good for him. No more doormat.
Michael is a buffoon.
Author's Response:
Sherry,
Ted is finally growing up (or growing a pair) with Brian's help.
The weasel doesn't change.

I will put the nastiness of Michael on the booze, but his core is mean.
Brian and his golden heart!
Author's Response:
Claire,
The weasel is only happy when everything is all about him.
Brian shows his feelings with grand gestures. It maes him happy to help his friends.

Yeah, they did it! I always loved them, even at the beginning. I was so happy when they met at the ski lodge especially after Ted's last "boyfriend" who was nuts.
Brian is so in character and so is Micheal.
Author's Response:
Claire,
Ted and Blake make a cute couple.
Brian is the best.
The weasel never changes.

How wonderful of Emmett to throw a part and Brian to give them a magnificient gift. How like Michael to be a pain in the butt.
Author's Response:
Phyllis,
Emmett wanted to show Ted that he was willing to support him out of love and respect.
Brian is always very generous.
The weasel never changes.

PS. The story advances in chapter three. It's mostly written and I forgot it was chapter 3 not chapter 2. ~Lorie

Congrats on a marvelous beginning to this story. So sad that Emmett channeled his inner-Mikey right when Ted needed his support, as his best friend, the most. I hate that Ted had to be the way he was, but Emmett DESERVED it. I know that it will be hard for some folks to feel that way, but yeah, Emmett deserved the same level of low-blows he threw at Ted to come back and hit him just as hard. Turnabout is fairplay after all.
As for Michael, I already feel a million 'STFU' moments on the tip of my tongue ready to spew. If memory serves me correctly, this is the direct timeline that will actually tell what Michael was doing to keep Brian and Justin apart in the first few years post-series?
Happy Writing and HUGS,
~Chelle
Author's Response:
Chelle,
As harsh as it seemed Emmett did deserve what Ted said to him.
As for the weasel; the next chapter advances the story a few years but even then he is not finished with what makes him what he is in our stories.
Yes, you are right about the timeline.

Wow. This is really taking off and pushing everyone in a new direction. Everyone except Michael who is stuck in stupid mode. Wouldn't be the same if he weren't.
Author's Response:
Phyllis,
This story starts at Ted and Blake's wedding. The next chapter advances the story a few years.
The weasel will never be happy in our stories.
Enjoy.

Sorry for the end of my last review. Got all caught up in thinking a new story was coming. I would however like to this one continued.
Author's Response:
Sherry,
This story is almost finished and chapters will be posted every few days.

I think the way it was was them. Fuck their so called friends and family.
I do see though that being around Brian has rubbed off on Ted a bit and not in a flattering was. What he said to Em was cruel.
If he can't be happy with Mikey then Michael doesn't want Brian happy at all. I hope Brian follows Ted and the following quietly picks Justin up in New York, high tails it to Toronto picks up Gus the heads to the registar's office themselves.
If tjis is the prequel, I an so looking forward to the new story that follows.
Author's Response:
Sherry,
Ted and Blake just wanted to keep it simple. They realized that they couldn't just invite a few people they would need to invite everyone.
Ted was responding to the way Emmett reacted, which was not very nice either.
The weasel will never change. More about him in coming chapters.
This is a prequel to Bittersweet Promise. It explains how Ted and Blake became parents to their son.

Oh, good, another Michael the idiot story. Love that Ted & Blake are married. They are a cute couple.
Author's Response:
Marilynne,
Not sure we could write the weasel any other way.
They do make a cute couple.
Enjoy the story.
