Wow... that sure was beautiful. Very beautiful and very sad, I don't even know what to think. I loved it, of course, but it broke my heart, and even though I firmly believe in B/J happily ever after, it still was incredibly painful to read. You captured Brian and his emotions perfectly. Thank you for this depressing, but amazing work of art!
Author's Response: Thanks! Angst is probably what I write best. I can't do romance without some form of misery or another. I thoroughly enjoyed writing this. It took several weeks, but it was totally worth it. In retrospect, I would ahev snipped out some adjectives, but I still like to reread it. This is probably one of the first stories where I started pouring my whole energy into producing something that reflected Brian as he would be. It is also a difficult period of time, as I enjoyed the ending adn I thought it was very fitting to bother characters. Glad you liked it! Thanks for your many kind reviews! :)

Oh my God, that was upsetting and so real. Brian, use your words because your thoughts are so complex, heartbreaking, and beautiful. I just wanted Brian to have someone-ANYONE-come and get him to open up at the end but Brian doesn't open up that easily. Really beautiful job. You perfectly captured the sense of dread you feel when a loved one leaves. Hugs! -Anne
Author's Response: Thanks!

This story may have been depressing but it was so true to the emotions of the show! It reminded me of that final episode, but it still felt like I was getting a lot of new insight because of the perspective you wrote it in. I liked the tone that Brian's thoughts took, which at times was very poetic. Poetic but succint--I like that you didn't make it overly flowery. I thought the placement of quotes from the Chris Isaac song was a little random in the text (maybe you should have used a line from the lyrics for the title??), but I understand how that song fits the theme of this story, and I have considered Brian and Justin's relationship more than once when I've heard that song too. Very well-written, so I just wanted to send a review to let you know how much I liked this.
Author's Response: Thank you very much. I wanted to place the lyrics a little randomly, just to mirror the disorder of Brian's thoughts. I am glad you didn't find it overly flowery- I tried hard to cut this back in earlier drafts. :)

You've really gotten into Brian's character. He's trying to be realistic and not go off into a fairy tale. Maybe Justin will never come back, but maybe he will. We'll never know.
Author's Response: Thanks for your review. Almost two years on, I am still proud of the effort I put into this story, even though I would definitely have cut back on the adjectives! I went into a zone of trying to understand Brian completely as a character. It was a good time.

Well, you were right - this WAS sad. But also very beautifully written, and shows how much they loved each other. You even managed to insert a little of Justin in PSA mode in there, too.;)
Loved the part where he came over to Brian at the window and placed kisses on his shoulder. Both men were very much IC, too. Nicely done! Thank you. *Hugs* ~Kim
Author's Response: Thanks- glad you enjoyed this.
