my review is very short:

I love that story. It´s wonderful.

Hugs, T 

For some reason this is the first time I've spotted your story and damn I've been missing out!  Basically it's all very good and I've just read it in one sitting.  Keep up the good work!

Can't wait for more!

Bittersweet and amazing. You are breaking my heart!

That was so beautiful it really made my heart ache.

really brilliant. poignantly bitter and sad.

that was so heartachingly good.

oh no oh no oh no. Ok that was my gut reaction.  This was another excellently written and well charecterized chapter...off to the next one.

Eek! **tenses in fear** what happened???

Beautiful! And hot. **fans self**

I think this is a great prologue/opening. I am a sucker for post-513 stories so please keep this going!

I hope you like the rest of the story. It's a little bit angsty, but I promise a happy ending, lol.

What an intense chapter. I´m glad that Brian is recovering and having Justin and Claire by his side. What he certainly didin´t need was Joan. She´s such an evil and bitter woman it´s hard to believe. She gives "christian" a whole new meaning...I hope Brian will see that he just proved that he is NOT like his father because he didn´t hit her. He was able to control himself. Something his father never tried or even wanted.

 

this was a great chapter very well written...good job.  update soon please.

i don't know where to begin.

right now he isn't dying. that's a good thing. the family now knows, that's a good thing. claire trying to eleviate her guilt by telling him how things were gave him more insight into brian than he ever thought he would have.

justin bring back home at britin is the best thing. that's where he belongs along with brian. home.

very emotion heart wrenching chapter.

Justin and Brian finally met:) But Brian is not doing well:( Thank you for writing! Looking forward to more

Thanks for the update and hoping you'll update again.

Poor Justin and Gus.  Brian is just too pathetic and self-absorbed.  I can't feel sorry for the man.  I want Brian and Justin together, but this Brian doesn't deserve Justin.  Didn't Brian grow up yet?               Ethan's death or suicide is interesting.  Was it the result of seeing Justin again?  Interesting parallel you have developed here with Brian and Ethan.  Different, but yet both cowards and liars.  Their actions both hurting the blondes in their lives.

It appears that you 'cut and pasted' the chapter twice....  It repeats half way down...

oh man, how to turn a family upside down. they don't know where he is. justin is completely out of it and will be completely pissed at them all if he ever finds out. gus, the man of the family till he gets back. poor little guy, thinking his father will be coming back when his father is thinking he won't.

OMG! I know you are not going to kill Brian off, are you? You can't do that to us. Please let him get better some how. Keep up the great work.

 Hugs,

Ahhh, stupid Brian.. I understand his reasons for leaving but he still doesn't know for sure that the cancer is back. I am really looking forward to more.. I hope Justin will manage to track Brian down...

i can't believe that if the cancer is back.  he doesn't know that for a fact because he's too stubborn to find out for sure. i can't believe that he's choosing to go away to wither and die than to fight. he has so much to fight for and he doesn't want to. i'm ashamed of him.

not good. brian has to pull himself together or justin will be back earlier than he thought he would be. only it will be for brian's funeral.

Oh, wow.Justin considers to stay in France forever,if it wasn't for Brian.Well, that was why they split up in the first place,because they didn't;want to make sacrifices and call it love then.I'm really afraid that Brian and Justin split up.Justin seems to grow away from Brian and I fear,taht when the two years are over,he has moved on.Abd Brian is falling apart.Oh god,I'm soooo czurious about the next chapter,but at the same time I dread it.Good story anyway.

Well this chapter made a solitary tear slide down MY face!

I hope Justin and Brian will manage the distance... Thank you for writing this beautiful story:)

omg. justin doesn't even know about his little trip to the hospital because brian knows that if he did he wouldn't go to europe.

i loved how justin stood up to that idiot. what will it take for greaser to get it through his thick skull that justin is brian's not his.

i have a feeling it's either going to be a very long two years apart or justin will be coming home quicker than anyone thinks. i'm kind of leaning towards the latter of the two.

I love your story. I think it's very "realistic", meaning the characters really act like you would expect them to (not that they are real... sadly.) Please update soon. :)

Author's Response:

Wow, thanks a lot. For me that's a great compliment, because staying in character is one of my biggest worries. I'm really glad you like the story so far. Thanks for reading it!
