Hey Janet,
I'm finally getting a chance to make the rounds on the 'MR' page. First of all though, WELCOME BACK! It's going to be great to read your stories here again, especially since somehow I keep forgetting my password on AO3.
Secondly, I really liked this chapter. Brian has made his intentions clear, and it looks like eventually Justin will accept the challenge and make him work harder than he ever has at anything in his long life. First and foremost though, I'm glad that Justin is getting out of that apartment. The specter of Seth couldn't possibly allow him to heal. I'll have to go back and read some of this, but wasn't there some type of inheritance that was for Justin, which Seth was really after? Either way, I'm glad he's gone! That turd was even worse than the stories I've read about Ethan. It's going to be interesting to see if the sole reason Brian was unable to compel Justin was simply because of Seth's machinations, or if there is something about Justin that makes him impervious to such actions.
So the only real issue to worry about is Ben now, and how he will take the presence of Justin in Brian's life. I really hope that he won't turn out to be another Michael in a vampiric way; always interfering under the false pretense of actually caring, instead of being a controlling troll. Hopefully, he and Brian won't exchange harsh words concerning Justin because I have a feeling that Brian won't hesitate to cut him off in an effort to have the one he wants.
Can't wait for MORE!
HAPPY WRITING and HUGS,
~Nichelle

Hello Chelle,
Thank you for the warm welcome. I truly appreciate that! :) It will definitely take time to upload my stories. You never realize how many there are until you go through this process!
Brian has definitely made his intentions known. There is never any subtlety in that man, but even less of it here in this 'verse. Justin isn't a pushowver; at least, not when he is in his right mind, and clear of any chemical enhancements. Justin seemed very certain of not wanting to stay in Seth's apartment, whether he ever returned or not. I guess we know that isn't possible, though. Lol. I can't see any way it would have been a healthy environment for him with all that he's been through.
And yes, you remembered correctly. There is an inheritance that Justin hasn't come into yet that Seth wanted to get his greedy hands on. That should come to light soon, and perhaps be something that can soothe Justin's mind in regards to his future. Yes, I would agree. Seth was odious in every way. I don't think I've even written anything with Ethan as despicable. Michael, hmmm maybe. My contempt for him always comes forth in my writing - LOL.
I guess we will see about Justin's inability to be compelled. Once he is living with Ben and Brian, I think some things will be answered. And yes, Ben could be a real concern. In his defense, though, I will say that he genuinely loves his brother and fears his sometimes reckless life will somehow end it. Protecting Brian is much of what he lives for. I am sure his often rebellious brother challenges his goals at times, and will continue to do so.
I am working on the next chapter now, so I expect an update much sooner than the last few have been.
Thanks for reading and commenting. I appreciate that so much!
Hugs,
Janet
