Hi again! Are you still in Germany? Are you going to spend New Year's Eve here? It's crazy. Yesterday you could hear already so many fireworks being unleashed here in Berlin! I have the feeling that the fireworks ban of the last few years (and there was less here in Berlin) is now being made up for this year.
So, this chapter! It surely wasn't right that Justin didn't tell Brian about the investigations earlier, but I'm glad that such things can be discussed, at least after only a short time out and 2 glasses of Beam ;-) I'm glad that Justin has found such a good friend in Em. And I think I've written this twice now... It seems like the calm before the storm. Just now I have the feeling that a huge huge storm cloud is building up. I wish you a good start into the New Year!!!!
Author's Response:
Happy New Year! No, I flew back to Dublin on the 28th. I am not a big fan of New Year's and all the trara surrounding it, so usually flee Germany before it lol. It's a lot calmer and more laidback here in Dublin. Only one big fireworks display in the city center, but not much private 'böllern' which I am totally fine with ;)
There will be a storm coming - the question is, what side will it be coming from? Poor guys deserve a break...
I will try to get the next chapter up soon. I had trouble accessing this site for days now and today at work is the first time I have been able to open it in more than a week. And now I don't have the doc with the full story with me as that is on my private laptop at home*sighs* Hopefully, the site will still work for me when I get back home tonight!
The chapter is ready and I didn't abandon the story. It will be up as soon as technically possible ;)
Thanks for your comment. As always, it's much appreciated :)

Hey, I wish I knew how many chapters are left before the heppy ending. I am so excited to finally read the complete story, it seems right my cup of .... black coffee I need. :-)
Author's Response:
There will still be some chapters to come. I don't have an exact number right now, as I don't have the full story document with me right now (I am at work on my work computer and it's on my private computer at home lol).
The story is finished and will be updated once a week - if the site allows me to ;) I've had trouble accessing the site in recent days, but will get the next chapter up as soon as possible!

They are ready for battle! Which side will the attack come from?
Author's Response:
Hopefully just from one side and not from several :(
Poor guys deserve a break!
Thanks for your comment, it's much appreciated! More will be up soon!

This first appearance is not going to be easy for Brian and Justin but if they hold tight to each other they will weather this storm coming their way.
Michael and Lindsay will.definitely use this to Gey Brian yo get rid of Justin but the others will stand strong by Brian and Justin to help keep them safe.
Plus I am so itching for Daphne to take on those two but Justin and Brian step in.
Just wondering when Queen Jennifer makes her appearance and steps up to Brian now that will be a battle with the price of admission.
If Brian cam survive Jack and Joan as parents, Claire as his sister, Michael and Lindsay trying to control his life then he can survive the paparazzi and an Royal Queen.
Thanks for the Update
Happy Holidays????
Author's Response:
We are going to meet Queen Jennifer in this story, but it might still be a bit away ;)
Thanks for your comment, it's much appreciated. I will try to get the next chapter up as soon as possible, but I have had trouble accessing the site for days.
So, hopefully, soon!
Thanks :)

Wow! You've really already experienced / done a lot and I'm starting to believe that you really need a week's vacation first! I've got a week off now and I want to go to the cinema to see "Oskar's Dress", but other than that I'll just be relaxing for the most part.
This chapter: As always, well written! Lots of beautiful moments but also funny ones... "I think he likes it" - haha, the way you describe Gus reaction it is much more than liking. And this one "Is that French?" Hahaha! What should I say (He is and always will be an idiot). Oh, and Linds...really? If Brian kissed her in front of the children, she wouldn't say such bullshit.
So, I'm wishing you a very, very happy Christmas with your family and friends!!!
Author's Response:
I am glad that you liked the chapter :)
Michael will always be Michael - he can't help it ;)
The family and friends are showing their true colours now...
I hope you'll have a very happy Christmas with your loved ones as well :) Enjoy the holidays and enjoy your time off.
More will be up tomorrow! :)

Great chapter. Everyone loves and accepts Justin except two (no surprise!). I am delighted you give space to Blake in this family. I like the story of Ted and Blake. I don't know if you celebrate but Merry Christmas!
Author's Response:
I love Ted and Blake together and like Blake :) And much like Justin he was the new guy for a long time...
Thanks for your comment. More will be up tomorrow :)
Merry Christmas to you and your loved ones!

Was there ever a doubt that Em and Justin wouldn't get along? All the most important people are very accepting.
Daphne needs to speak up more. Put certain people in their places. Justin shouldn't have to explain to them why he does what he wants.
What was Michael's reaction to seeing Gus's room? Has he seen it? Wheels turing in his head that will/should never come to fruition?
What Mel and Lindsay or Michael and Ben don't ever kiss in front of their kids? Jealousy and envy are rearing their ugly heads.
Author's Response:
I love the Justin/Emmett friendship as much as the Brian/Ted one :)
The friends and family are showing their true colours now...
Thanks for your comment. More will be up tomorrow :)

Michael and Lindsay should really remember that at the moment Justin is being nice but the second he stops not even Brian will be able to stop him if he wants to destroy them.
They have met Justin Taylor the man they have never met Prince Justinus who despite losing his title still has power which he hasn't wielded yet.
And once Justin starts Daphne will surely finish because she won't allow anyone to hurt her best friend and the father to their child, they should be afraid Very Afraid when those two come after them.
Brian declaring his love to Justin in front of everyone and not caring is beautiful and shows that he doesn't care what others think he is listening to his heart and his heart like the man wants Justin.
I am really enjoying your story????

Hej! Willkommen in Dt. und hab eine tolle Zeit mit Familie und Freunden! And thanks for another beautiful chapter. Ah, what can I say. I think you already know that I really like the way how you portray Ted and how you develop a friendship between Ted and Brian! I also liked Ted on the show (and Blake). And I think the fact that Brian didn't tell his "two supposed best friends" about Justin once again shows what they really are... So, I'm looking forward to Sunday, warmest regards and have a good time!
Author's Response:
Danke! Bislang war es echt gut. Habe es schon durch eine Hochzeit, eine Familien-Geburtstagsfeier, einen weiteren Geburtstag und ein Wochenende bei Freunden, inkl. Weihnachtsmarktbesuch geschafft. Wenn ich wieder in Dublin bin, brauche ich erst mal eine Woche Urlaub zum erholen :P
I just love Ted - I will always write him like the true friend that I think he is :)
Thanks for your comment. More is up now :)
Date: Dec 12, 2022 8:21 pm Title: Chapter 20
Brian just needs to repeat his speech to Ted to both Michael and Lindsay and they won't bother him again. I mean who is Brian to grow up without conferring with them first. As far as they're concerned, it's Brian's life if only they say so.
Justin is happy. Daphne is happy. Lizzie will start school soon. Why am I feeling like there's a shoe somewhere waiting to drop?
Author's Response:
Because you know that I am evil and that I love to put them through a lot of drama? *smiles innocently*
Thanks for your comment. More is up now :)

Great chapter. Michael thinks he is Brian's best friend, but really Ted is. Thanks for no Mikey in this chapter. Fantastic writing.
Author's Response:
Michael was never a real friend. At least not in my book... Ted is a great friend and I love him :)
Thanks for your comment. More is up now :)
Date: Dec 12, 2022 2:32 am Title: Chapter 20
It's happiness! Why couldn't it continue?
Author's Response:
Because I am evil? Or because it would be boring without any angst and drama? Okay, I am evil. Let's settle on that lol
Thanks for your comment. More is up now :)

Haha! Yes, I can understand that you would like to have another week off after the Christmas season and a little time for yourself. On the other hand, you're probably looking forward to seeing your family and friends that you see so rarely, right?
Oh, nice chapter - thanks! I was a bit surprised that Brian didn't introduce Justin a little bit more or the other way around, that he didn't explain to Justin who is who. On the other hand, with that behavior you stay totally in the character of Brian. And probably Justin already knows them all from stories. Jeez, and now I have not only a not so good feeling about Michael... Justin should also watch out for Lindsay... Looking forward to Sunday! Warmest regards!
Author's Response:
I flew back to Germany yesterday and it's nice to be back home :)
Yeah, it's not just Michael that Justin should be worried about... what's a story without some good Lindsay angst as well, huh? ;)
Thanks for your comment. More will be up in a bit :)

Justin survived meeting the family. So far, so good! TAG
Author's Response:
It's a good beginning. Let's hope it will stay that way.

Please. Can wait for the Fin and happy ending. I am so impatient. I need my last chapter with Brian & Justin happy and together, before I can enjoy the entire story. I am sure I will love it. Couldn't resist to peek at in some chapters. ????
Author's Response:
The story will be updated with a new chapter once a week. Patience is a virtue :)
Thanks for your comment!

Lindsay Mélanie and Michael are still the same assholes we love to hate. Justin will have to beware of them. I think he had the good impression of the sneaky and jealous Lindsay and I'm not even talking about Michael. I love Ted he is a reliable and discreet friend.
Author's Response:
Those three will never change - and that's why we love to hate them ;)
Thanks for your comment. More will be up later!
Date: Dec 04, 2022 5:20 pm Title: Chapter 19
Ahh poor Lindsay, she'll never be able to out WASP Justin. A palace for his prince. An artist too. Boy, Justin better watch his back.
Mikey is getting Rage fever. Can hear the wheels turning.
Can't wait until Daphne meets them all. They'll never know what hits them if they go after Justin.
The guys only want some privacy. No chance of that once the gang knows where they're living,
Author's Response:
The gang will always be the gang ;)
Thanks for your comment. More will be up later!

Thanks for another chapter. Why can’t Michael, Melanie or Lindsay ever just be happy for Brian….they always have to act like giant assholes.
Author's Response:
Because we love to hate them ;)

Hi again! Oh, I'm also in need for a holiday and I'm looking forward for the time between Christmas and New Year when I'm off work!
Thank you for another beautiful chapter! Yes, I would have liked more of Brian, Gus and Justin in the series too, but as you say "it wasn't to be" as so many other things.... All the more reason I like fanfictions where Gus plays a bigger role and spends more time with Brian and also with his "Jussin". Ah, it felt like the calm before the storm for several chapters now.... Looking forward to Sunday and warmest regards!
Author's Response:
Unfortunately, that time between the years will be very stressful for me as I am in Germany for the holidays (as always), so those days will be filled with meeting friends that I won't get to see the rest of the year. By the time I am back in Dublin, I am usually in need of another week off just to recover from all the meetings ;)
Calm before the storm? What? Don't you trust me to just give them some happiness for once? lol
Well, we'll see if tomorrow will bring the storm or not :P
