Girl I got chills reading these last few chapters. Ethan doesn't even have a clue that his relationship with Justin is basically over.
Author's Response:
So happy that i was able to thrill you, Tamara!! These two are FIRE!! Ethan is definitely clueless but then again that's what he gets for only seeing what he wants and never looking at the bigger picture.

Good morning, Phyllis!!! Yep, got caught up in ADLS last night and couldn't stop until it was done! Justin is in the process of redefining himself and his life so all of his decisions will be based on that. Whiny Eeyore...I mean ETHAN...Fuck Brian even has me saying it!

Did he have to be so rough. Of course he did, he's Brian Kinney. But what will the reprocuptions be. He's marked Justin. Will Justin still refuse to take the money? What will Brian end up doing about Mikey and Linz?

PS. I really enjoyed your Time Volumes 1 and 2. Will you be posting more on 2?
Author's Response:
Thanks for the comment Stacy. I'll try to address a few things without giving away too much. I ask that you bear with me and remember that this is 'Alternate Canon,' and 'Alternate Universe' and a splash of 'Canon.' That said, it won't follow canon-based guidelines to the letter but hopefully will be engaging enough that you could see all of this happening.
The reason Justin said, 'The hardest part of loving someone is letting them go and be happy,' is because he also realizes that with one look, one touch and one word, he and Brian could have gone on living the way they were....Sex and Silence. So his turning and leaving was admitting that he was tired and couldn't fight the situtation anymore. He knew that he got pushed off Mt. Kinney and just didn't have the strength anymore to climb back up just then. Plus consider all of Michael's 'That's not Brian' speeches and it will explain just what Justin felt in those final moments of my version of the 'Rage' party.
You're right that Brian wouldn't intentionally hurt Justin but he will ALWAYS do what he thinks is best for Justin. Hence the reason for the Mt. Kinney push toward 'Ian.' He actually did 'ask' Lindsay and Melanie if they had seen Justin (that part is in the show) so that when Justin went to look for him, he would find Brian doing what Brian does which at the time Justin wasn't happy with the tricking. Brian wasn't aware of all that was said from Justin's point-of-view to Michael. He was ONLY given the bit about Justin cheating and not WHY which was most important. But again, remember this story jumps in and out of canon events so this is partially the way I saw things and chose to address. I actually think things may have been better if let's say Michael saw it but also someone else like Ben or Emmett, Vic or Deb- someone without something to gain from the breakup and have only the best interests of Brian and Justin at the forefront- had seen it too. Perhaps then things wouldn't have seemed so harsh and cold in the end. I'll be addressing this again in the SOWK series which is also Alternate Canon.
As for your question about Vol. II, I am definitely continuing but it's taking awhile. The last chapter in and of itself is very involved and will be just about novel length. The same is happening with Mr. and Mr. Taylor-Kinney. There is a lot of loose ends to tie up in Volume II so hold on to your seat with that one!
Thanks again for reading and reviewing this story!! I'll update this and all my other WIPs again very soon. These characters are always cooking up chaos and I have to go with their leading to make sure their 'stories' get told the way 'they' want. It takes time but I hope that it is all well worth the wait!
Happy Reading and HUGS,

Date: Sep 18, 2016 9:40 am Title: Chapter 4: SOMEBODY ELSE'S GUY: Brian
I read a few chapters and I really like this story. I had to reread the first chapter, it's full of emotion. I understand that Brian didn't give Justin what he needed which was validation of the importance in Brian's life. They both of course had a major problem with communication. If Brian had given him that then Ethan probably wouldn't of happened. But Justin was also at fault. I didn't get about Justin saying that that the hardest part is freeing him and making him Happy? How did he think Brian wasn't happy. Justin is the one that cheated. He and Brian had only to talk to each other. Such a simple thing to avoid all of what happen. But of course that would be to easy. At least Brian knows that it was his fault to. That they could of avoided all this crap. That Justin said in the other chapter why Brian just didn't tell him that he wanted him to stay when he told him it was his choice to make, back at the loft. That 8s so true!
In the show Brian told Justin at Babylon when they made the rules that the bat was the reason that he asked him to move in but that wasn't why he wanted him to stay, and Brian told Jennifer after the bat that he cares about Justin so why couldn't he tell Justin that he cares if he leaves, when Justin asked would you care if I wasn't here,when they were at the loft having that conversation.
The other thing about the show, at the rage party when Brian told the girls to tell Justin I was looking for him. I never thought that Brian was setting him up so he could find him fucking Rage. That was Brian being Brian. I don't think that he was intentionally hurting Justin realizing that he would re:his bashing or trying to get him mad. There was no way that Brian could time when Justin would be talking to the girls and go to the back room to find him, Brian wasn't waiting for Justin to start fucking rage. He didn't send the girls looking for him. So I think that Brian was being his self and getting his needs met. Maybe Justin wasn't around when he looked for him and being that he was drinking and only thought of himself and not thinking about the bashing ect. He fucked rage. What do you think?
Also the show When Brian took the mask off he showed hurt in his eyes and a slight smile he wore as to tell Justin that he cared. That was the moment that Brian knew that Justin has to make his choice then. Him letting Justin go was him not fighting for him or telling him if he's not happy that he can go.
At least in your story Brian and Justin knows what they should of done, and could of done so that wouldn't of happened. That they should of talked. And Justin knows that what's on the other side isn't always better, and what he had before with Brian was more. Brian knows the parts that his so called friends played. And that Brian andJustin knows they made a mistake. Justin is unhappy with Ethan and now that he wants to be away from him,time till himself ,I hope that he takes that as a realization that he should get rid of Him? To bad Vic and Jennifer doesn't help get these two back on track. Brian already admitted to him self that he made a mistake and that he wants Justin, that he is his so I hope he doesn't waste a lot of time.
In chapter 4 where it says "And Justin never having the fucking balls to correct my knowledge, about him giving up on me, us,yes I can admit that there was an us, only to my self, and he should of known" Does that mean that Brian feels that Justin should of told Brian that he wasn't giving up on them and that Brian thinks that he should of known that he cares and are in a relationship with out having Brian to say it?
I loved that line "Maybe I can exorcise the demon of constant want and climb out the pit of loneliness our fucking stupidity and silence threw us into. Fuck!" It sums it all up that they made stupid choices. Sorry for the rant, but I had things that should of been addressed in the show that I think that you might in the story. Lol I couldn't sleep and couldn't put your story down. Waiting for more.

What a treat: 3 chapters to read this morning!!! Thank you, thank you!
Justin's introspection is really interesting and he finally takes THE decision; I hope Brian won't fight against it, even if I doubt that he will. How, when and where will the real reunification take place?
Sorry to read that Justin's nightmares are back; it can't help him feel good, but so happy he fights Ian's honey words (baby, partner, I love you) which must seem pale in comparison of the silent "words" of Brian from last night.
Author's Response:
Hey Claire!! Good morning Darling!!
It gripped me good last night and I couldn't stop writing!
Justin has a pretty heavy decision, especially since he's now seeing the value of an open relationship vs. what he was taught to believe. He's in the process of redefining what he wants in all areas of his life and that is extending to what he had vs. what he has now. Ethan is....whew! Ever have that disgusting vision of what Brian and Michael would be like in a relationship? Yep, Justin and Ethan relationship is EXACTLY that! And extremely hard to write without cringing, LOL!

Brian needed to make a statement the only way he knew with Justin. It was as the first time, but with the desperation behind and the knowledge of their bodies, needs.
I love how Brian doesn't want to crash Justin's trust and wants to mark his body and his soul.
I hope he succeeded and that things will move forward quickly.
I was so happy to see a new chapter after leaving a comment on the previous one. Thank you for the quick update.

Mikey’s in trouble, I love it. It was something else that always puzzles me, why was Michael in charge of the comic? Maybe I'll think of a reason. Can't wait for more.
Author's Response:
Hey Star!!! I'm so happy that you are enjoying my insanity while taking a small break from your own. Justin initially let Michael have charge of the comic because of two reasons: 1. It was Michael's dream and 2. Justin was working and going to school full-time. The problem with that is he trusted Michael to do the right thing by him knowing that he had expenses of his own. To Michael's mind, Justin has Brian so there's no need for him to have anything beyond what Michael chooses to give him. I think Michael tends to forget just how intelligent Justin really is despite his age. That lapse in memory will be a very costly mistake.
Happy Reading and Writing (Girl, I LOVING TSOOL so MUCH!!),

Oh my ever loving Jesu H. F-ing christmas!!!!!!! #rd paragraph in and I want to have a smack down with Michael. You always portray him just right for me. LOL.
Now...that chat with Lindsey?! WTF?! Seriously?! So glad Mel is getting filled in properly and that she'll be on the right side of things, at least on a legal perspective. I always felt that she'd get along with Brian quite well if it weren't for Lidnsey's intereference and manipulations. She and Michael are in a WORLD of shit! good to know that both Brian and Mell will be driving forces in the fall out. Did either of them really think that Justin would just let them screw him over. If nothing else Brian and Ted would let the gang know what the hell was going on.
Michael is so not concerned about Brian and his absences. He's concerned about himself and his place with Brian. He's concerned about his own financial situation...He's concerned about himself. full stop. typical selfish little shit. We all know he's not going to pay attention to Brian's warning of staying out of his business. He's going to try to raise more and more shit. Ben may soon be at the end of his rope. Sadly, I'm really not sure Michael will really give a shit, except how it affects him financially.
Am so thankful that you continue to share these great stories with us. I know your brain is working on the next installments to the other ones. Happy to have yet another story to keep us entertained while you set your devious plans in motion for the other ones. :)
cheers,

Author's Response:
LOL! You have Michael and Lindsay nailed to a tee. Their 'concern' for Brian always came with a heavy dose of egocentricism. The way both of them see it is that now that Justin is out of the picture, Brian can and will start doing for them again no matter what they ask. But what they aren't prepared for is that not only is Brian, Mel and Ted onto them but Justin is too! And that little Blond Brainiac is dangerous when he's angry. They seriously betta watch their backs...LOL

Really enjoying this story. Love a strong Justin and a more reasonable and protective Brian. Justin owning his own vehicle, having a PO Box, setting up a website for Rage. This level of independence is refreshing. Good to see Brian learns of Michael and Lindsay's machinations! And Lindsay replacing Justin as the artist for Rage? Ha! great plot twist but seriously don't think she has the talent.
So glad that you are enjoying this Koalared!! I've always thought that Justin was a strong man. He would have had to be to survive Brian Kinney and all the other emotional upheaval that had come his way in canon. Not only that but he had a way of humanizing Brian that I absolutely loved. so I write him that way. He has a major independent streak even with Brian, which I think many of the people around them missed (demonstrated with the whole Sap arc). In any event, I think of him and Michael as polar opposites so when writing I would say 'What would Michael do?' and then do the complete opposite which makes Justin easy to write for me, LOL As for Lindsay.... SMH... There is no getting around the fact that she wants to 'BE' Justin in every way possible, which includes but is not limited to having Justin's talent. She and Michael will learn that the creation of Rage is MUCH harder than they thought when they don't have Brian and Justin to lean on. Happy Reading and HUGS, ~Nichelle

Oh wow! I can't believe that Lindsay and Michael would stoop so low.
Author's Response:
LOL! Neither could I but then again, these two know all about living vicariously, don't they? If Brian didn't feed their addiction, Justin did, constantly imagining themselves in his place at Brian's side. However, at the same time there was major jealousy of Justin from both of them and now that Brian is also pulling away from them... well let's just say that desperation makes strange bedfellows!

Yeah, the bashing of the leeches begins!!! Hilarious that Lindsay thinks she can draw Rage!
What's not hilarious is that she wants to have Justin babysitting Gus while she tries to replace him in the creation of Brian's double. What good can get out of that? Will she make Rage straight living with her double or still gay living with Zephyr?
So happy she had to reveal her intentions in front of Mel; 5000$ for Gus for a month? A family could live with that and maybe have some money left. She's out of her mind.
Can't wait for the next chapter!!!
Happy writing!
Author's Response:
Lindsay always struck me as one of those people who would want to humiliate a former rival as much as possible to show them their place beneath her while seeming charitable. She and Michael as temporary allies are as different as night and day. Michael is about as subtle as an elephant in a glass shop but Lindsay is more like the snake you never know is hiding in the basement, until you unwittingly venture down stairs.
Lindsay and Michael are going to find out the hard way just how much talent and skill it takes to draw and write an actual, original story line for Rage. I can't wait for the hijinks! LOL

Oh this is good. Mikey and Lindsay teaming up to defraud Justin. With Mel's help that won't happen and Brian will make sure of it. Michael just doesn't get it, does he? Maybe Ted can help with that. Love the get-to-gether Brian had with Lindsay and it came out she'd asked for 5000.00. About time she was called on that.
Author's Response:
So glad that you are enjoying this, Phyllis. If there is one thing we can say about Michael is that he definitely has a one-track mind and will always think that he knows Brian best and what's best for Brian. He is in for some rude awakenings especially once the air is clear with Brian and Justin, which will be coming up next chapter.
Lindsay is.... poor thing, she just... LOL I have no words for her sometimes!

I always wished someone would right a story where Justin and Brian got back together but never told anyone and Justin didn't have to live with the chinrat. But I can see the problems with that senerio. So this one works for me. However Justin getting mad because Brian continued with his tuition sucks. I like that Justin bought himself a car and is in touch with Ted. I'm not happy with Lindsay, but I'm loving Mel.
Author's Response:
Hey Phyllis! I wholeheartedly agree with you about Brian and Justin getting back together and keeping it secret from the 'family.' I try to make their relationship strictly about them in all my fics, even if it takes me awhile to get there. You've heard the adage about too many cooks in the kitchen and the family, headed mostly by Debbie and Michael, were definitely the embodiment of that adage. There are a few reasons why Justin was upset about the tuition, Michael's low opinion of him being the chief among them. But Michael wasn't the only one to have his say or opinion about Brian taking care of Justin financially. There is definitely more to this story so stay tuned! Right now, he's just trying to take care of the things he needs and he doesn't want anyone interfering with that.

Over dramatic much Justin? I really wish he would understand that just because you need help, doesn’t take away from your independence. He shouldn't be upset that Brian kept his word.
Author's Response:
Hey Tamara! Yeah, his reaction may seem a little over the top for now but Justin is 19. Unfortunately, most of us thought we would be able to handle it all at that age too. But more than that, Michael's words have lit a fire within Justin to prove that he can make it without Brian's money. BTW...he wasn't the only one who had a lot to say about that, but that's for a not-too-much-later time.
