I sincerely hope that Brian doesn't give in to Lindsay's hair-brained idea. she disgusts me more and more the harder she tries to force Brian's hand.
Author's Response: I know! I didn't even plan for her to be so nasty. It just evolved naturally... In a way, it's just a typical case of a woman scorned and such a tragic figure is usually willing to do anything - like the goddess Hera in Greek mythology!

What a bitch! (sorry for my French)
I hope Lindsy won't forbid Brian see Gus.
And, by the way, now when she is not with Mel, can't Brian get his parent's rights back?
Author's Response: Thanks for your review (BTW I am so busy with my kids, that I just haven't had time to read your story, which is why I haven't reviewed yet. I will soon and the same goes for YumYumPM! I just haven't had time, but I do intend to read both stories!!)
You are on the right track with your thinking, well done !! But Brian has to think about getting well after the operation first, then and only then can he consider tackling his problem with Lindsay!
Reviewer: Kathrin (Anonymous) · Date: January 01, 2014 11:02 PM · On: Don't speak - Part 1
I never liked Lindsay, so that suits just fine.
But it will bring problems for Brian and I'm curious thisstory will develop
Author's Response: Well, like I said to the other reviewer, there is more to Lindsay than meets the eye... She feels very territorial over Brian, and you're right, I'm sure the situation will create certain problems for him, but he's no stranger to problems is he !!
Reviewer: bksbracelet (Signed) · Date: January 01, 2014 02:22 PM · On: Don't speak - Part 1
Wow go Brian he did so well remaining polite to Lindsay when he needed to speak with Gus. I don't like Lindsay and this chapter nailed her in my opinion lol go Gus for giving your dad the strength to face the operation
Author's Response: Yep! Lindsay was incredibly annoying - really, a pain in the ass!! And there's more of that to come as well!!
Gus and Brian's relationship is really is so sweet, as a father and son that love each other should be!
Reviewer: YumYumPM (Signed) · Date: December 31, 2013 10:54 PM · On: Don't speak - Part 1
What a wonderful chapter. I don't find it very anti Lindsay, it just seems like something she would do and say. I'm glad that Brian got his chance to talk with Gus, what with Lindsay carrying on I wasn't sure he'd have time. If you want my advice - have Brian hang up. He doesn't need to hear anything more from Lindsay!
Author's Response: Haha! That bit was ok, wasn't it!! The anti-Lindsay bit will be coming soon!! Still, I could quite imagine her doing what I have written. It's not unthinkable! And of course, Brian should hang up, but I suppose he feels he owes it to his old friend... well he'll get more than he bargained for, that's for sure !!
Reviewer: JAZZEPOET (Signed) · Date: December 31, 2013 10:13 PM · On: Don't speak - Part 1
What can I say...I love how Brian is trying to be strong for Gus but I loathe Lindsay for trying to convince Brian to just give up his immediate support system simply because it's not her. She needs to get a clue and let Brian get through his ordeal without all the added stress (the selfish wench)
Author's Response: Hi, nice to see you're enjoying the next chapter. Yes, it would be nice if Lindsay could stop stressing Brian, but unfortunately... well, she still wants to speak to him, so I fear his stress levels may rise even more before the operation...
Reviewer: YumYumPM (Signed) · Date: December 25, 2013 06:58 AM · On: The luckiest
Brian said the three little words that make Justin a happy man, and he did it more than once!!! Now I have to wait and find out what Lindsay is up too. <pout>

Loving this story! I can't wait for it to be updated again.
One small thing ... Daphne's last name is Chanders, not Chambers.
Author's Response: I know that! I know that! I know that! Damn! I was looking for a song to accompany the title and the last thing I looked at was Robbie Williams (his song writer is Guy Chambers) and then I reread the chapter in MW and changed that sentence and took the name Chambers with me !!!!! That's how it came about :-)
thanks for enjoying the story!!
Reviewer: Reader (Anonymous) · Date: December 20, 2013 07:24 AM · On: You're my best friend (and now I KNOW it!!)
really enjoying the relationships.
Look forward to more.
Author's Response: Whenever I write someone, I try and speak the dialogue to see if it would sound as if they would actually say it!! So I try and keep the dynamics of the relationships real! Of course, Brian's very different in my 'verse. Much more considerate and loving as he's accepted that he wants to change.

Very sweet chapter. Only teared up a little this time. Did I mention that I love this story?

You did it again, when Daphne says "Tell him that I did it for him..." I just started crying. Love this story.

However you need to update is okay with me my friend :) this is a wonderful story and will be well worth the wait.
Author's Response: Thank you so much for commenting on that. I just don't want to let anyone down. This story is really important to me!! and I want it to stay in people's hearts!! It's also quite realistic with regard to the testicular cancer storyline as I wanted it to be as true to life as possible!! Unfortunately that's what the poor people have to go through (some have less reaction to the chemo/radiation and some more regarding sickness). Of course not everyone gets every symptom and in varying degrees, but it's true to a point. It is what could happen to someone with this type of cancer. Enough of that though. You didn't even ask anything :-) (you can tell I also teach haha!!)

They are moving in together. There talk took long enough, but at least they are on the same page now. Can't wait to find out where you take us in the next chapter. I just have one question. What did Brian mean when he said you're moving in properly with me this time?
Author's Response: Thanks. And yes, thank goodness they are on the same page now! Regarding the question, it was just that Justin wasn't really living at Brian's completely, but not sleeping, then going home to sleep (and have his nightmares) before returning in the early afternoon to Brian's. NOW Brian wants him there all the time!!
Reviewer: snow (Anonymous) · Date: December 15, 2013 08:38 PM · On: If I ain't got you

Hi, Lisa! As you know, this is one of my favorite parts to your story.;) I love the way that Brian confronts all of Justin's fears and washes away his denial by pointing out that neither one of them is 'perfect,' at least in the normal sense, but perfect for each other. Kudos on all the reviews, too; well-deserved. Looking forward to my sneak peek of the rest of this story! *Hugs* ~Kim

Wow Daphne has risked a lot in her attempt to protect Justin. But as usual Justin and Brian both make it hard for themselves by trying to be strong all the time, maybe this will change
Author's Response: I hope you'll like this chapter - as Brian is the "adult" in this one!! He's really going through a change due to having cancer. He's already reevaluated certain things in his life and now Justin needs to follow suit.
Daphne will ALWAYS stick her neck out for Justin - that's what real friends are for!!
Reviewer: Jane (Anonymous) · Date: December 15, 2013 04:06 AM · On: All the things she said
I loved this chapter - Great Job! Perhaps now Brian will realize that everyone has problems, in one way or another. I hope Brian "sees the light". Justin is good for Brian and Brian is good for Justin. Hopefully, they can meet in the middle somewhere and start mapping out a future together. Sometimes when you live in a bubble, you can't see the forest through the trees. I think Justin WILL forgive Daphne and they will remain steadfast friends forever!
Author's Response: Thank you so much! You are so right that they are good for each other!! They just need to be adult about it - that's where they both fall short in their own different ways... Of course Justin will forgive Daphne. How could he not? I hope :-)

Ah, chapter 16! I must have completely missed that chapter lol thank you... :) I don't go on MW daily anymore, so I probably thought I had read it and thus clicked 17 instead.
As for the rushed feel to the chapters...it wasn't the additional characters that made it feel that way. It was more of the descriptions you wrote in between some dialogue, and no description between others. I had re-read the chapters twice because it felt like things were missing that'd I may had missed, but going back that second time realized it was just how it was written. It's not an insult, please don't take it personally! It was just my opinion. I am continuing to enjoy this story and look forward to your next update :)
Author's Response: I hope you read Ch. 16 as this was rather important for the plot !!
I see what you mean about 21/22 - they had a different pace to the other parts of the story - and sometimes when I write, I just get so caught up in the story that I don't explain enough perhaps!!
I do try and be very descriptive though. Sorry if you felt it didn't flow enough. And it's not an insult at all. It's always good to know if something can be improved for the next time I write something!!

Just got caught up with your story. I found chapters 21 and 22 a bit rushed, but the flow was better in this chapter (23). Now that Brian knows the truth, what will he do about it? Daphne brought up the bashing as if Brian knew about that, but I don't recall reading a conversation between Brian and Justin that talked about it. Curious to read what will happen next.
Author's Response: Hi snow, thanks for the review. I'd be REALLY interested to know what you thought was rushed about those 2 chapters? Was it the introduction of 2 new characters in them that created a lot of new lines to the plot???? I do understand if that's the case, because it has been b/j centered till now. But I felt that it was necessary to introduce both plot lines for the story... please tell me what you found rushed... Still really appreciate your review. THANK YOU!!
The conversation about the bashing took place in Chapter 16 when Justin was really angry with Brian, because he asked him to leave and not come back:
"Brian’s eyes widened in response to the darkened blue orbs filled with such passion. “I have everything I need right in front of me and you want me to go back to NOTHING! Before you I was empty. I had nothing but this scar to remind me of a night I can’t even fucking remember. I was bashed when I was 17 by the first person I told I loved – he couldn’t take being a closet homo – so he thought he’d do away with any evidence of his dirty little secret. I spent months in a coma and even more time in a rehab facility. I have a mother who would rather wrap me in cottonwool and never let me out again if she could, a father who hit me when he found out I was gay and who told me the bashing was my fault BECAUSE I was gay.”
“I can’t be the artist I wanted to be anymore, ‘cause I have brain damage and my hand still shakes when I try and use it for more than five minutes to draw, I don't have any memory of that night and I get nightmares on a regular basis. Oh, and I live with my best friend, because I everyone is too scared to leave me on my own! That was my life before I met you! So don’t you dare make any assumptions on my part that it would be better for me to go back to that!"

I hope Justin 'hears' and understands how much Brian loves him and appreciates what he is doing for him even if he doesn't say it.
Love this story.
Author's Response: Justin only hears what he wants to hear... as I always say "the course of true love never did run smooth!"

Yay!!!! Brian finally told Lindsay off! Shame the effect it had on him though. What will Lindsay do? I'll be on pins and needles until I find out.
Author's Response: I know I loved writing that bit. Brian really does love Gus and everyone should know about it!!!!!!! Hmmmmm....What will Lindsay do?
Reviewer: JAZZEPOET (Signed) · Date: December 12, 2013 09:32 PM · On: Everybody hurts
Yessss!!! Finally Lindsay is put in her place and given a justifiable ultimatum. Maybe now Mel will back the fuck off...btw I love R.E.M. ;)
Author's Response: Yeah, I love R.E.M. too! Went to concert once - brill!! Mel should have backed the fuck off long ago - another one on my shoot to kill list :-)

What a wonderful chapter! I hope that someone gets on that nurse's case about her attitude. It's nice to know that Brian feels that everything good that is happening to him is because of Justin. What will Brian do about Mel and Mikey talking shit about him to his son?
Author's Response: I'm sure the nurse will be before a tribunal having to defend her abusive behaviour sometime... but not in this story!! That would be for someone else to write :-) I'm sure Brian will think of something when it comes to Mel - and is Mikey even worth dealing with?? I say just pack him off to Seattle (Was that where he went with David??? Can't remember) and be done with it :-)
Reviewer: samcdee (Signed) · Date: December 11, 2013 04:32 AM · On: High
Great chapter! I hate that nurse. So happy Justin was there to make things a bit more tolerable.
Author's Response: I know me, too. She's horrible, but there are ones like that out there. I have experienced similar things... (not cancer-related of course).

*huggs* I love it! Bri finally admitted his "like" for Jus its so sweet! I hope Mel and Michael get what's coming to them. You just dont say those kinds of things to a little boy even if it were true which in Brian's case it's half true but still. I can't wait for Brian and Justin to shut them all up. Cant wait for more :)
Later.
Author's Response: Thanks so much for enjoying the story :-) I am so pleased that it's been so well-received here! It's obviously a difficult topic, but I had the story in my head and it just had to be written!! There's definitely more to come!

Hi, Lisa (raising hand). I'm enjoying it. I guess I'm remiss in reviewing it, since I've already had a sneak peek. Sorry about that! But I wanted you to know that I've thoroughly enjoyed their journey here, and am eagerly waiting to read the rest of it once you're ready. I think the lack of comments is due in part to being around the holidays, and all the hectic pace one normally experiences during that time. Hopefully the review comments will pick back up soon. Thank you for posting on here. *Hugs* ~Kim
Author's Response: Thanks Kim! So kind of you to write a review. Like you said, I know you've read it already and been witness to many strange British English expressions :-) I'm writing now as we speak! I hope people are still liking it, that's the main thing!! You're brilliant as a reviewer as well, so thanks for that. You've really helped the story flow more and you always use better and more exciting words than I do :-) haha

Maybe Brian will realize that he deserves Justin's love, and that his love can help overcome all the bad things he has gone through. Wonderful chapter.
Author's Response: Thank you so much Lorie. I hope so, too (well I do know, but I can't tell !!) It would be nice for Brian to simply love and be loved.
Reviewer: Lorie (Signed) · Date: December 11, 2013 03:07 AM · On: Give me Novacaine!
I love that Justin is there, quietly being a rock for Brian. Great story. Hope there is much more to come.
Author's Response: Justin will always be there for Brian. I think Brian would have to have an injunction against him to get rid of him haha!!!

No matter what happens Brian has Justin and hopefully Justin will get help from Brian if he begins to have problems. Very emotional chapter.

Nooooo, this cannot be the end! I am so glad that Justin's passionate plea did not fall on deaf ears. I want to find out how the gang deals with their being together! I want to read about Justin meeting Gus. You've given us an entire new AU and I want more. Hope your feeling well.
Author's Response: Not sure how to play this yet regarding what I put in the sequel. I don't want to compromise the integrity of the characters by letting it become just another Mikey meets Justin, Mikey hates Justin... etc. story. I think they appear to be noble characters at the moment and I don't want to lose that feeling!!
Reviewer: JAZZEPOET (Signed) · Date: November 30, 2013 06:18 AM · On: When I fall in love it will be forever
Oh say it ain't so....epilouge soon please? I am anxious to know what happens with our dynamic duo.

And then a sequel, where Brian gets better, Justin gets the 'first time' that he deserves and Gus meets Daddy's special friend Justin. PLEASE.
Love this story. Usually end up in tears reading it.
Author's Response: Not sure about the sequel idea - thinking about it... otherwise epilogue!! I'll see how much I write!!

Awww, Brian finally admitted that he didn't want to do this without Justin. That's a big breakthrough for Brian.

Damn you....another hanky moment :) but it's good to see that Brian is FINALLY accepting the help that he needs to heal both his body and his heart.
Author's Response: Yeah, Brian is slowly accepting that he needs Justin, thank goodness !!!
Reviewer: YumYumPM (Signed) · Date: November 27, 2013 10:59 PM · On: Romeo and Juliet
At first I was worried that Brian wasn't going to call Justin. I'm glad to see that after his talk with Gus he came to his senses. I'd love to see what he says when talks to Linds about Mel. Thank goodness Justin checked his mail once again. What will Justin say when he sees that Brian shaved his head? I'm sure it will be something positive and not something thoughtless like everyone else.
Author's Response: I think Brian will not waste time talking about Mel! Whatever he says, he's deadly serious and to the point!! Justin would never mock Brian either!
Reviewer: Alyse_SaFyre (Signed) · Date: November 27, 2013 10:36 PM · On: Romeo and Juliet
Love this story! Love how Brian is slowly changing and becoming the man we all know he can be and who Justin sees and loves. Can't wait for more! :)
Author's Response: Yeah, Brian has really had enough of the aging playboy routine and is ready for love really - he just doesn't - or didn't - know it till Justin came along :-)

It looks like Brian is ready for some changes. I like that Justin tells him like it is. Hopefully Brian will take his advice and call Gus and more important call Justin! Why is that nurse being so mean? Brian, don't think - just do!
Author's Response: Yeah Justin is not one for beating about the bush!! He gets to the point! Haven't you ever experienced nasty nurses? There are either really lovely ones or ones like that - based on my hospital stays and those of my family etc. My sister-in-law falls into this category, too :-) - likes to give "nasty jabs" to people if she doesn't like the look of them!!!!!
Reviewer: JAZZEPOET (Signed) · Date: November 26, 2013 11:08 PM · On: When you were young!
Bravo Justin!!! And thanks be to everything holy that Brian is starting to open his eyes.

Shame Brian didn't just pull Justin into the bed with him. Justin's so tired he probably would have fallen asleep.
Author's Response: Brian probably wouldn't have the strength to do that!! And with their bad sleep habits, I think it's better they keep their own flats if they do get together :-) Haha!!
