Hey! It is definitely a very exciting topic - homosexual royals! I just found another short article about a King Charles of Württemberg. There were certainly more than we know...
This chapter... Beautiful! I love this beginning as Brian gets over himself to unblock Justin and then stares at the phone, secretly sooo hoping it will ring. Oh, don't we all know those moments! And I love that Brian is able to admit his feelings for Justin (at least to himself) and also that it was kind of a relationship. And of course that he then gets over himself and calls. And all in all, a wonderful conversation.... a first important approach! Love it! So, again, I'm looking forward to Sunday! Warmest regards!

Well, we know that sometimes Brian needs a bit longer ;) But thankfully, it seems like he has finally gotten there!

We see that Brian hesitated to call Justin but he shows him a little concern finally. We are making good progress in this chapter. Thanks.

Yeah, we're definitely moving in the right direction now :)

Hey! Yes, like I said, while watching the series I had to think of you and I already figured that the criticism would probably prevail. ;-) And I think I mentioned that before, I'm not that big of a fan, although I've read the books and also watched the movies "The Lord of the Rings" and "The Hobbit" a lot. But honestly, I wouldn't have noticed the thing about the beards on women or the short hair on elves! And I totally agree with you about the actors. So far nobody has really convinced me. But after struggling more through the first episode, I find it entertaining now. So I will continue watching it. But it really isn't comparable to the movies.
Oh, did Prince William really say that?! Well, hopefully he would also then behave like that, although I do think that we're also further along than we used to be regarding this topic. And I think if you do some proper research, you would find a lot. I only googled briefly and came across that the Prussian king Frederick the Great was probably gay, but of course he was also married to a woman. Interesting topic! Now this chapter. As always, beautifully written. Ted is a really genuine friend who isn't afraid to tell the truth and genuinely wants what's best for Brian. You know what I think about Michael and also about Lindsay, so... I'm curious to see how Brian will behave now. So, looking forward to the sequel on Sunday! Warmest regards!

I was actually travelling for a wedding this weekend and my friend who got married is someone who I met when I traveled to New Zealand and did my Lord of the Rings location tour. So a lot of the guests at the wedding were fans as well and we talked quite a bit about the show and funnily enough everyone I spoke to had the same complaints: The actors aren't good, they get small stuff wrong that would have been easy to get right (long hair for elves, beards for dwarf women, etc.), it's not really exciting and there isn't much happening, but most people at least love the scenery/worlds/cities that were created for this show. It was funny to have so many people coming from different countries and all pretty much seeing it the same way ;)
The thing is there are a lot of royals that were rumored to be gay, some more openly than others, but no royal that ever really openly came out as gay and had an official same sex partner, as far as I am aware.
I am glad that you liked the chapter :) I love Ted and have said before that I think he is a much better friend to Brian than Michael has ever been, so this story is also a bit of a love letter to Ted!
More will be up in a bit. Thanks for your comment :)

Ted is truly a best friend. He tells Brian the truth even though he doesn't want to hear it. I hope he thinks about this and can at least support Justin even if he refuses to admit his feelings for him. Great chapter!

Who is Brian really mad at now. Ted is looking out for his friend's happiness. It's what a good friend does. Ted hit every nail on the head with what he said to Brian. What's Brian going to do about it?
You really can't compare Lindsay and Brian with Justin and Daphne. Justin and Daphne were kind of forced into their married life,
I agtee with Ted's thinking, really, what do Brian and Michael still or ever have had in common? It does seem like a one sided friendship.
Author's Response:
Brian is only used to Michael's and Lindsay's friendship, so he probably needs a bit of time to get used to a real friend ;)
Thanks for your comment. More will be up later :)

Hi again! I also thought we were moving in the right direction, and I think we were indeed going there for a while. Unfortunately, I believe that we have reached a turning point and are unfortunately now going in the wrong direction. At least it's wrong for me. The things regarding laws that happened in Hungary, Poland and USA for example... Who knows what will happen in Italy and also in Sweden. Unfortunately, it seems as if: "Die Welt ist im Wandel" (sorry, I don't know how it is said in the movie in english). I had to think of you while watching the new series "rings of power". I would imagine that if you're a real Tolkien fan, you don't like this series, do you?
So, now to your new chapter. I was thinking that it is amazing that Justin speaks (or writes in this case) so openly about his love for Brian.And Brian doesn't flinch at the words "love" and "relationship". :-) And yes, what a brave step of Justin to come out! I am curious about the consequences and implications! Hm, you made me think about princes and kings... I can't think of an openly homosexuell one... Looking forward to Sunday! Warmest regards!
Author's Response:
The world is changed ;) Which kinda shows that the German translation isn't all too great as it implies present tense as in the world is changing while the English implies it is already changed, so more a past tense...
I am watching the show, but I am not a big fan, to be honest. And not because they cast dark skinned elves or dwarves. What a ridiculous discussion really. Why does everything have to be about race nowadays? I honestly couldn't care less about the skin colour of fantasy beings. But dwarf women without beards, elves with short hair? That's just wrong... Especially since the beards of the dwarf women were a talking point that Gimli brought up in the Lord of the Rings movies as well. It's painful to know that basic canon is being ignored. Also, I don't really think that all the actors are great... Sorry, but Galadriel will always be Cate Blanchett. Elrond will always be Hugo Weaving and replacing them both with mediocre actors? Every actor would be fighting an uphill battle taking on such iconic roles, but at least cast actors who have the talent if nothing else...
I love the sceneries, the world's and cities they have created. It just looks amazing, but to be fair, the storyline hasn't really gripped me yet. Hopefully, it will pick up in later episodes. Also, it makes me sad to think that this will be the last we'll see of New Zealand as Middle Earth. It's a real shame that they are moving production to the UK for the upcoming seasons :( New Zealand is and will always be my Middle Earth <3 *Lord of the Rings rant over*
It's definitely the wrong direction for me as well. I had really hoped we had moved past that, but apparently... not :(
Justin is a lot more honest to himself about his feelings for Brian than Brian is to himself about his feelings for Justin. What's new? ;)
We will hear about the consequences and reactions to his coming out soon. This story was actually inspired by a real life interview with Prince William in which he was asked a couple of years ago what he would do if it turned out that Prince George was gay. He said he would be totally fine with it and love and support him no matter what. Then it occured to me that there is no major royal (that we know of) that is openly gay. Which seems highly improbable if you ask me...
As always thanks for your comment. More will be up tomorrow :)

Brave little fucker indeed. Good for Justin, Brian always did admired the truth.
Never seen him so angry at Ted. It will blow over I hope. Ted is on of his closest friends.
Author's Response:
Very brave of Justin indeed.
Ted is one of his closest - if not his closest friend. I mean, we can't really count Michael as a friend... They will make up and move on, I promise. I love their friendship way too much to have them at odds for long.

Hi! I have to admit that I only caught the attack on Malte (that was his name) days later through a small newspaper article that said he didn't survive the attack. It's so unbelievable and terrible! I read that the murderer faces up to 15 years in prison for assault resulting in death. Hopefully he will! And a few days ago a trans woman was beaten up by teenagers in Bremen. I do wonder to what extent this is also a religious-cultural problem.... Of course, don't get me wrong, this can also happen to you if you meet the wrong group of Germans...
Now on to the lastest chapter which was great! Yes, sometimes the simplest explanations are the best or the most obvious, but did Justin really believed that Brian knew who he was and didn't say anything about it? And that for over 3 years? Hm, isn't he making it a little easy for himself or wasn't that a little naive of him? But anyway, I'm glad Brian didn't kick him out right away, listened to him and even gave him some advice. Oh and such a cute ending... That's cuddling isn't it?! Is that something you do with your fuckbuddy? Ah, those two! ;-) Looking forward to Sunday and warmest regards!
Author's Response:
Oh, I didn't hear about the attack in Bremen. That's horrible :(
Hearing about these kind of attacks just makes me sad. For a while I thought we were really moving into the right direction, but now...I am not so sure anymore :(
I am glad that you liked the chapter! Maybe Justin is making it a bit easy for himself, but maybe it was also a nice change from his "normal" life to not have to worry/think about who he is for a while and to just tell himself that it doesn't matter who he is.
I think it's cuddling, but Brian Kinney doesn't cuddle, so I doubt he would agree. Hmmm...?

Hi again! Wow, now that was really surprising. At first I was a little sad that the two of them let one year pass without doing anything... And then: Prince Justinus from Europe!?!? Really!? Haha! He is really "more than meets the eye"! Now to some extent I feel a bit sorry for our Brian. On the other hand... That's just how it is when you only come together to fuck. What did he expect? No, seriously, I do hope that our Justinus has some good explanations for that... Well, not necessarily explanations as to why he didn't tell Brian, I actually understand that a bit, but rather why he got married? Did he have to for some reason? That was after he already had this "relationship" or whatever with Brian. And why a child? Well, I guess I'll have to wait until Sunday, because I hope it is Justin, who's standing in front of Brian's door... Exciting! Warmest regards!
Author's Response:
And hence the title for the story lol... I guess I took that whole "for my prince" exchange in the episode when Brian proposed a bit too literal lol
All your questions will be answered... I promise!
I guess everyone hopes it's Justin, but what if it's only Ted? Or god forbid Michael...? I better go into hiding then :P
I guess you've heard about what happened at the CSD in Münster. I am absolutely shocked and devastated. Münster is just around the corner from where I grew up, only half an hour away from where I went to university and I went out partying in Münster sooooo many times when I was a student. It's one of the most open, tolerant cities I have ever been to. I guess if something that horrible can happen in Münster, it can really happen anywhere :( Just heartbreaking! I hope the bastard who did this will be locked away for a long time, but most likely, he'll just get a slap on his wrist :(
Sorry, feeling a bit down today...
Anyway, thanks for your comment. As always, it's much appreciated and more will be up tomorrow :) Stay safe!

Hi again! Arghhh Brian, really??? Splendid, it's so typically Brian. No, not a relationship, just fuckbuddies. Then why is he so hurt? And he's not only hurt, he's feeling bad, he's suffering, he's sad. Most people probably would call that "lovesickness". Haha, but not Brian. You know that I like Ted. So I love it, that he's the one who gets the truth out of Brian and who Brian opens up to. I was just a little bit disappointed that Ted didn't remind him after that revelation that maybe he's in love and maybe he should listen to what Justin has to say first. Well, but he was probably just too shocked. ;-) Well, I would say Justin has no choice but to go to Pittsburgh... Looking forward to Sunday! Warmest regards!

I love Ted, too and I loved his friendship with Brian in later seasons, so I wanted to keep that dynamic. Move out of the way, Michael! There's a new best friend in town :P
