Throwing my hands up in the air in frustration! LOL Those two men communicate so well in many ways but stumble when it counts the most. At least I know they'll figure it out. â¤ï¸
Those fuck buddy friends of Justin's are scrumptious. 😋

Really heartwarming the way Lindsay learns to let go of her secret fantasy and everyone becomes a family in Toronto.
Brian's boy-toy substitute for Justin is eerily reminiscent of the fiddler episode - completely different context, of course, but almost equally nerve-wracking. Thank goodness for Ted and his sound advice to both Justin and Brian.
Bill . . . just, yum.

This chapter showcases what a superb team Justin and Brian make.
LMAO, the 'aardvark' reference when Brian is trying to remember Adam's name.
I like how Justin diffuses the antagonism with Lindsay and makes them both laugh. You can't out-WASP a WASP, Linds. LOL

Theo won't hold out for long . . . how could he? lol
Drooling as I visualize Justin in that John Varvatos suit. I wanna give him a blowjob. 😋
And Stuart . . . yet another fantastic OC.

Even knowing (having read this story umpteen times) that Aiden and JT will reconnect, I feel unbearably sad when Brian mourns what might have been after searching for JT in Seattle. Such powerfully wrenching scenes.
I adore Ted and how he plays matchmaker! And that he manages to cover for Brian and Justin at the diner the next morning. â¤ï¸
It's perfect that Brian takes Ted's advice so he can reconnect with JT, first as Aiden and then as Brian.

No one creates better original characters than you do - from minor characters who appear briefly to those who play a larger role. I adore Bill! He an interesting, engaging substitute for the 17-year-old Justin in canon. And Howard Johnson is appealing, too, not at all the homophobic heterosexual Brian was expecting.

I love how JT and Aiden are slowly converging with Justin and Brian. Just a little more nudging from Ted . . .
Date: Dec 11, 2016 3:28 am Title: Chapter 6
Drool. I felt like I was in the backroom watching Justin establish himself as a top. 😋
Brian's such a great dad, and it's wonderful to see him in action with Gus and JT. The shower conversation between Brian and Mel - hilarious!
Can't wait for JT and Aiden to meet as Justin and Brian. Methinks Ted is about to start figuring it all out . . . and to realize that Brian does sometimes bottom. Ah, the look he must get on his face at that moment, even though he'll be totally supportive of Brian.
Date: Dec 11, 2016 2:45 am Title: Chapter 5
I so like the rapport Brian begins to develop with Mel and that she's actually able to listen to him without the bias of some of his other friends - they love Brian but don't necessarily see him clearly.
Ted is becoming the confidant to both Brian and Justin . . . just wait till he realizes what's happening, lol.
Date: Dec 11, 2016 1:49 am Title: Chapter 4
I adore Justin the pool shark, and confident Justin is a huge turn-on.
LMAO over the banter between Ted and Brian, and Ted's certainty that he must have misheard Brian in regard to bottoming.
Blake's clearsightedness about Brian is such a relief, as is the way Ted becomes a staunch, completely supportive friend.
Oh, Justin's assumption about Aidan being in the closet . . . I wanted to reach out and shake him. Aside from the fact that he shouldn't have opened Brian's computer, he wouldn't have made that assumption if Brian hadn't cropped out Mel. Those two silly men!
This chapter's painful because it hints at what must have happened to Justin. His history makes me hurt every time I read about it. 😢
Jim is such a good person - takes care of Justin simply because he recognizes he needs help. Really like how you worked in the line about how a man's gotta know when to ask for help.
Can't stop laughing over Cynthia calling Brian cute . . . tee hee hee hee.
Date: Dec 11, 2016 1:06 am Title: Chapter 3
Cynthia definitely has balls! I always regretted that we didn't see more of her in the show.
Ted must be dying of curiosity. I know I would be, lol.
So poignant the way the two men want to continue their 'relationship' but are stymied by Justin's inability to bottom. 😟
Date: Dec 10, 2016 11:33 pm Title: Chapter 2
Wow! Incendiary. I think I need to change my bedding. 😋
Brian never liked group exercise - unless it's an orgy, particularly one he's orchestrating, lol.
I like the idea that Brian only had a harmless cyst - and that he stopped smoking so he'd be there to watch Gus grow up. It always bugged me in canon that Brian didn't adopt a healthier lifestyle after the cancer, particularly since Jack died of lung cancer.
Damn, but Ted and Blake are scorching hot together. After all the trials and tribulations, it's wonderful to see them in a committed, satisfying relationship. â¤ï¸
Date: Dec 10, 2016 10:45 pm Title: Chapter 1
Holy Hotness! but this first chapter sucks (okay, maybe I shouldn't use that word, lol) me in every time I read this story.
I adore Toppy!Justin and Bottom!Brian. They're both such alpha males in this story, even if Justin has a much sweeter disposition.
Mark and Justin together - absolutely scrumptious.
Love how Justin and Brian meet at the gym and drool al over each other, Brian completely unknowing that he's met one of the three recommended tops. Move over Bandon; you've about to be completely outclassed.

I decided I'm going to keep track of how many times I read this story by leaving a review each time. I don't remember how many times I've read it on the Mags site, but we can safely say it was at least five. And this is my second time reading it here on KD! Here's to many more happy re-readings! Thank you for this wonderful story! TAG

So worth this revisit, just as good the second time around. I do love this story:-)

This is one of my favorite chapters! The game, the interactions, and then Brian asking why? What a fun and emotional ride. I believe it!!!
i've read this fic maybe five times and recommended it tons -- it is one of the best! Thx soooooooo much!

The end....the saddest part ever,
Such a gorgeous story. Well deserved to win 'the best story'! I loved everything about this, especially how you included everyone, and how loving and openly showing emotions Brian was.

I re-read this again for the millionth time while on holiday and I forgot how much I bloody loved this. You are a genius

Theo and Bill...just love them. Even though, they'r eoriginal characters, I love them all the same.

So much happened in this chapter. I'm glad Justin heard Brian out, and that Brian confessed everything about his trip to Denver. Molly coming to live in Pittsburgh? A grea idea. She belongs next to her brother.

Oh that sounds great! Buying out Vanguard. Wow. It's huge!
Brian and Justin are so incredebly happy, it gives me a toothache. lol

They needed this talk, as much as Justin needed the talk with all his tricks.
