Ugh, I might not be able to finish this if it keeps going in this vein. Brian doesn't cherish him? BULL HOCKEY. Brian just doesn't do it everyday he isn't constantly flowery but it's like this Justin wants that. One can fight in a month of good and he just can't take it. I'm truly starting to loath this Justin.
Author's Response: That's too bad. Hope you can stick with it.

You know, I love this story but this chapter bugs me. Yes Brian was wrong but so was Justin. Most of this story is about changing Brian all out of recognition of what we know him to be. That's fine it's why I'm still reading, but this Justin can do no wrong thing is really snapping my ass. I will keep reading in the hopes that I can love them again. Right now I think Justin is really acting his age and it's annoying.
Author's Response: You're right about Justin being young. Sorry you find him hard to take.

This story is amazing and I love how you handled the marriage topic. I don't really see them getting married, it's too normative for them; they live out of the box and their relationship is quite steady now; as long as they both agree, this could go on for years.
Moving out of the loft is a huge step and something that Brian had to come to on his own. It's the symbol of his young single adult life and it doesn't fit the life he is building with Justin and partially Gus. The fact that he wants Justin to be part of the choice and to participate in the household, is the sign that he is ready for more.
Author's Response: So pleased you enjoyed the ending of this story. Thanks for all your comments.

Amazing chapter with Brian trying to analyze his ability to be a good father. With Gus and Justin's help, he already is one.
The butterfly symbolic is a good idea and Gus with his cocoon was adorable.
Author's Response: Thanks - so much symbolism. lol

What an amazing trip they had, on so many levels. I hope they keep the rings where they are, so maybe one day, they will take them and have a small gathering to exchange them.
Author's Response: That would be lovely.
Date: Sep 05, 2018 6:22 pm Title: Chapter 30 - Desert Adventures
Brian is out of his comfort zone, but he planned many fun and interesting things to do with Justin. The Boulder Resort seems amazing.
Author's Response: Brian tries - they both do.
Date: Sep 04, 2018 8:55 pm Title: Chapter 29 - Desert Communication
They don't speak the same language, except in bed and Justin is as impatient as Brian is sarcastic; nevertheless, there is an improvement.
Author's Response: Improvement is the goal.
Date: Sep 04, 2018 8:05 pm Title: Chapter 28 - Desert Vacation
Rocky situation; they are both right and yet, they don't talk the same way; they are out of sync.
Author's Response: Very true.
Date: Sep 04, 2018 7:39 pm Title: Chapter 27 - Go Away
Almost a disaster! Thank you Daphne!
Author's Response: LOL
Date: Sep 04, 2018 7:09 pm Title: Chapter 26 - Ask Justin
Brian really sucks at this relationship's stuff!
Author's Response: Unfortunately he does.
Date: Sep 04, 2018 6:02 pm Title: Chapter 25 - A Closer View of The World
I don't feel Gardner on this; I bet he's trying to screw Brian and maybe Brian feels that and plans to get out and open his own agency; he could have Cynthia, Ted, Justin and Geroge/Georgia.
Author's Response: That remains to be seen.
Date: Sep 04, 2018 5:38 pm Title: Chapter 24 - Camel
Gus and his camel: everybody but Mel is finding that funny. It's great for both Brian and Gus to spend quality time together. That builds up their relationship and allows Brian to get some kid's fun.
Author's Response: Mel needs her head read.
Date: Sep 04, 2018 5:18 pm Title: Chapter 23 - Why
Another wonderful chapter: Gus is so funny and so down to earth! His "cracks" comments and other questions are entertaining. He had done something nobody would believe: Brian liking his wrinkles!
Author's Response: I'm so glad you like my Gus.
Date: Sep 04, 2018 5:03 pm Title: Chapter 22 - Open
The beginning was rocky, but the rest is amazing!!! Lots of emotions, running jokes (it'll heat up), Brian opening up emotionally, baring his soul; wonderful!
Author's Response: Thanks so much.
Date: Sep 03, 2018 7:56 pm Title: Chapter 21 - Anxious
Wonderful idea to "talk" about anxiety: Justin is ready to work with Brian as he really is an artist.
Amazing new step they are both taking!
Author's Response: Hope so.
Date: Sep 02, 2018 7:35 pm Title: Chapter 20 - Insensitive
Justin can act like a teen sometimes; Brian was just trying to let him know that he would get a car and he just couldn't.
Author's Response: Justin is still very young.
Date: Sep 02, 2018 6:11 pm Title: Chapter 19 - Perfection
What an awful dinner! Both Jennifer and Brian have to work on their opinion of the other. With a little help, they could see what they really are and that they should try getting along for Justin's sake.
Author's Response: Let's hope they do that.
Date: Sep 02, 2018 7:52 am Title: Chapter 18 - Ring of Truth
Their love life is as the highest roller-coaster: the ups and downs are painful for the heart.
I understand now Ben's reaction in the next part of this story, part that I read before this one.
Justin is right and they should keep this for them, otherwise people will barge in and tell them what they think of the rings.
Author's Response: Exactly.
Date: Sep 02, 2018 6:27 am Title: Chapter 17 - Birthday Surprise
Wonderful part with the train!
The end started well, but Justin's reaction is surprising.
Author's Response: Hm, let's see what happens.
Date: Sep 02, 2018 5:56 am Title: Chapter 16 - The Meaning of Commitment
Delightful chapter! Gus' parenting skills are funny. The rings are a huge step for Brian and he's right to be careful.
Author's Response: Glad you like Gus' parenting skills. lol
Date: Sep 01, 2018 9:35 pm Title: Chapter 15 - All Present And Accounted For
The travel back home and the party went pretty well. Everybody was happy for them and the only one to make a remark was Mel, for a change.
They better not forget their sweaters for the next trip to the lake.
Author's Response: Hopefully everyone will give them a chance.
Date: Sep 01, 2018 9:07 pm Title: Chapter 14 - Irish Eyes
Wonderful chapter; I love that Brian went to Ireland with Justin and found some roots, good roots. For once, they were together and nobody was around trying to get involved.
Author's Response: Too bad they didn't have more alone time on the actual show.
Date: Sep 01, 2018 8:30 am Title: Chapter 12 - Work Me Over
Whoa! Franck is really good; he put in light what must be eating Brian alive. Great chapter!
Author's Response: Thanks, glad it hit home.
Date: Sep 01, 2018 8:00 am Title: Chapter 11 - Monkey Crap
Tough chapter: love isn't so easy and romantic. It hurts and cuts deeply. Well written.
Author's Response: Thanks so much.
Date: Aug 31, 2018 6:44 pm Title: Chapter 10 - Needing Space
Whoa, that was unexpected and could explain so much about Brian's persona.
Author's Response: Glad you think so.
