Brian is not the only one wondering. To be a fly on the wall.
Author's Response:
It should be really interesting to see what happens when both of them realize their attraction to each other.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! I am all caught up. I tried so hard to stay behind so this wouldn't happen. I love this so much, and I can see the changes in how both boys are looking at each other and I'm here for it!

I try and post every two weeks. New chpater posted this morning 9-25, but I work full time and teach part time- I only have so much time to write. (lol)

But what will happen, will Justin still be able to guide Brian if something happens? I love this slow burn. I want them to kiss so bad, like really kiss. Not make out like it's some hot trick, but make out like he just cannot get enough :)
Author's Response:
Slow burn indeed. You are not the only reader who wants them together- patience, Grasshopper

I am now hungry LOL.
I love that Brian is seeing that people actually do like him for being him, they don't all want something extra like Mikey :)
Author's Response:
The recipe is good. Glad it worked for you ( the description)

Jesus Christ, the squirrel in my garden has more common sense than Michael.
Glad Brian has agreed to the dinner and has left out Debbie. I don't feel like her heart would be in the right place.
Author's Response:
Mike doesn't think about anyone but himself.

EEp, can you make sure there are spaces between different character's lines, please? I find it so hard to read on my phone.
But most importantly, I love how Justin is opening Brian's mind so much and making him see he's worth it.
And I love how much Gus talks, such a typical kid lol
Author's Response:
I thought I had fixed that. I will do it now.

Drinking numbed Brian's feelings, he's feeling them all now and I love so much that he's sharing those with those he cares about. His making amends speeches were so lovely.
Author's Response:
Making amends is difficult an Brian is taking the work very seriously.

Brian making amends with Cynthia was just perfection.
Author's Response:
Thank you. I have to get in Brian's head and I'm pleased that I succeeded.

I love how they're starting to realise they're liking each other as people and not just because they have to be friends for their meetings, you know?
Author's Response:
Yes, they like each other but can't let each other know- that is the fun part
[Report This]Date: Sep 17, 2021 10:15 am Title: Chapter 48- Moving Forward
Aw I am so happy Brian asked Justin to hang out. This slow burn is killing me but I love it.
Also, it's normal for Brian to have those feelings, it was his dad after all. Even though he was a bastard, your emotions still sometimes go, yeah but he's my dad...
Author's Response:
The slow burn is really needed due to Brian not needing to get involved in a realtionship for awhile.

Just an fyi, at one point you referred to Linds as Ms Kinney :)
I am so happy Justin is there for him when he needs it :)
Author's Response:
I'll have to look that up.

I wonder if Mikey, Mel, and Lindz will actually show up.
Author's Response:
WEll, we will have to see who is actually invited.

Loving this. Emmett is a big help and the foods that Gus and Brian cook make me hungry.
Author's Response:
lol- I don't even like to cook, but it is fun to look up recipes.
Date: Sep 13, 2021 7:16 pm Title: Chapter 56- IKEA Adventrues
So funny. I'm vegetarian so wouldn't have meatballs and never tasted them before I was as they look horrible and I am very fussy with food.
Oh Ikea I haven't been to one in years not keen on it, too much to distract me like with the showrooms part all enticing to buy things. Very strange store and layout, you can't really pop in just for say a spatula as its all over the place not in aisles like some stores.
Hansel and Gretel trail is a way to describe it, before the breadcrumbs were left so you just get lost and I think they make you walk around and around more than you need to.
I can imagine Brian though considering he likes Italian unique furniture, shows how much he loves Gus to put up with going to the store, you capture his character perfectly.
Author's Response:
My 300 th review for the story.
WOW. I'm pleased you think I portrayed Brain perfectly.That is a great compliment.

Ha ha ha, poor Brian dealing with cheap furniture and lots of people/kids. I can't wait to read how he will manage to "build" the bed.
Author's Response:
Building the bed will be interesting. I've heard horror stories about building IKEA furniture.

I know AA says you should wait at least a year before pursuing a relationship, but ::sigh:: can we make an exception ? ????
also.... I've never been to IKEA . Seriously.... meatballs? I looked it up... there is one 21 miles from me. Now I'm going to go find out just how good those meatballs are ????
Author's Response:
Since it has taken me almsot three years to get Brian to 6 months, I don't think I'll wait another 3 years to get him to a year- exceptions may occur. Yes, IKEA sells meatballs but I've never had them. The details came from my beta.

I am thinking that Gus sees having his own bed as a sign of stability
Author's Response:
I agree. He is getting closer to Brian and starting to see him as a parent figure not just someone he spends time with occasionally.

This is such an interesting story. Soon Rian wanted Justin to stay. The feelings are coming gradually. Great job.

Thank you. I'm so glad that you are enjoying it.

Gus is becoming a good cook and he doesn't hesitate to ask Brian about a bed for him.
I can't wait to read how Brian will manage a trip to IKEA; that could be fun and will change from his usual locations for shopping furniture.
Author's Response:
I just finished writing the IKEA chapter. I hope my readers enjoy it. Gus is getting more comfortable asking his Dad for things and feeling like his father is more like a parent.

If Brian is honest with himself Mikey isn't really a friend much a friend not to mention the Best Friend he always claims himself to be.
Author's Response:
Brian is accepting Mikey's feelings. He has some really good examples of people in his life that do care.

Very interesting chapter (not that the other aren't). I love how Justin is pushing Brian to analyze and see things another way.
Author's Response:
yes, Justin is very interested in helping Brian grow as a person. I love how he has offered to cook with him.

Omg Michael you are a idiot
Author's Response:
ITA- Michael is an idiot and probably will complain about Brian walking away.
Date: Aug 02, 2021 8:52 pm Title: Chapter 53- Dinner Party and Guests
Poor Brian. Mikey is so oblivious. I had no faith in Mikey but had hoped for Brian's sake he would buy a clue. Unfortunately with some people anything that doesn't fit their view of the world just doesn't exist.
Author's Response:
Michael is so self centered that he probably has not really digested the fact that Brian hasn't been around due to his desire to stay sober.
[Report This]Date: Aug 01, 2021 9:52 am Title: Chapter 53- Dinner Party and Guests
Trying to keep Mikey from thinking he needed to be with Brian to keep him from driving drunk does not seem to compute. Maybe he needs to find something he can do with Mikey that doesn't involve drinking? Maybe attend comic conventions?
Author's Response:
I think that at this point in time, Mikey would have to offer something they could do together. Brian has waited five months for him to accept his sobriety, but it appears that he has not wanted to go that route.
[Report This]Date: Jul 31, 2021 5:52 pm Title: Chapter 53- Dinner Party and Guests
Of course Michael didn't get it. To get it he has to let go of partying, tricking Brian.
Author's Response:
Michael had a vested interest in seeing Brian continue to drink. It gave him an identity, rescuer. Let's hope Brian is ready to move forward with his friendships and chooses better ones.
