Why do I love it so much that Justin has 2 cats and Brian hates them LOL!!! Although it's sad they're no longer able to do it raw ;)

Interesting idea. Loved both of these stories. I'm glad they got married and finally talked. I like your solution.
Author's Response: I'm thinking it'll work for them :) I'm so glad you enjoyed the stories!

Interesting concept! I would probably implement the date idea in my life and the cards. Keep your love life fun and anticipating. Great idea!
The last sentece after the card is hidden underneath. You can only see "It's one of t"
Author's Response: Thank you for the heads-up! It's all better now :)
My husband and I have lived in seperate residences three times since we got married, and it's always really fun. Plus we had space - like Brian and Justin, we love our space.

That's marvelous, not to mention a brilliant solution. :)
Author's Response: Hopefully they'll come up with it sooner rather than later :) So glad you enjoyed the story!

"This is the moment when, if they were at Justin’s apartment, the cats would come over to investigate, batting at the empty condom wrapper and eyeing Brian suspiciously."
This is hilarious! Cat people can relate.
Wonderful story…thank you so much!
Author's Response: You're very welcome! This is romance Brian & Justin style :)

This was terrific! I love the idea of them having two apts. so that they can still be themselves while being in a relationship.
Author's Response: Yes, exactly! I had a hard time imagining Justin would ever be able to truly get the kind of space he wanted and needed if he lived with Brian. Brian simply isn't flexible enough - even post-"I love you."

That was great, and they just might have finally gotten it right... ~ Kathleen
Author's Response: It's the only way I can imagine it working. Brian's tricking was never really okay for Justin - the space lets him manage his conflicted feelings.

This is amazing and I absolutely love it. Hey, works for me too, LOL.
Author's Response: Me, too. LOL! That's why it was so easy to write :)
Reviewer: Wren (Anonymous) · Date: January 10, 2015 10:54 AM · On: Chapter 1
Really liked this. Intriguing idea and I can totally see how it would work for them.
Author's Response: It's the *only* way I can see it working for them. They'd drive each other nuts! And Justin would see their constant tension as a sign they weren't meant to be together, when all they really need is a bit of space from each other.
Reviewer: Brynneth (Anonymous) · Date: January 10, 2015 01:26 AM · On: Chapter 1
Brilliant! Another beautiful story from you:)
Author's Response: Thank you! I'm so glad you liked it :)
Reviewer: sarahyellow (Anonymous) · Date: January 10, 2015 12:46 AM · On: Chapter 1
This was a great story! I really like your idea for it. It truely seems like the perfect solution for these two. The best thing about this story was that it was almost entirely a reflection of Justin's without real-time action or dialogue, yet it completely held my attention :) All the reasons you came up with for why they lived better apart were funny and so true to their characters. Justin's quirks and Brian's being showcased like that was funny. And the thing that Justin wrote on the card at the end was so great.
Author's Response: I tend to write using little dialogue usually because it doesn't let you dive into the details of a place/situation as much as I like to. I'm glad it worked for you :) As for the card, I bet Brian was secretly (and perhaps reluctantly) charmed. Justin has always known how to get under his skin :)
Reviewer: bksbracelet (Signed) · Date: January 09, 2015 02:24 PM · On: Chapter 1
Lol loved it and I can see this actually working with these two
Author's Response: It might be the only way - at least for the short term. Maybe things (Brian) will mellow out eventually. Or not. LOL
Reviewer: rulisteningbj (Anonymous) · Date: January 09, 2015 02:19 PM · On: Chapter 1
This was absolute perfection. Why didn't they think of this, it would have solved so many problems. I love your writing style.

Author's Response: Thank you so much :)
In my post-5-13 fantasy world, the two of them are more creative and flexible than they were :)
Reviewer: Dido_MagnaCarta (Signed) · Date: January 09, 2015 01:10 PM · On: Chapter 1
That is fantastic. This is seriously the best thing I have read today. You can see now why I decided to read your RPF story, even though I don't like the genre. Ilove, love, love your writing, your humour and imagery. And this is so right and logical for Brian and Justin at this stage in their lives, that you can see them lasting forever. Most stories uually start with Justin coming back to Brian's house and then divulge into sugary sweetness thereafter, rididing the story of any interest. But Brian and Justin are two completely different people, and their love is strong, but difficult. Your brilliant characterisation of Brian in particular shows this, and is a perfect expansion from what we saw in the series. Yes, they would completely get under each other's skin if they were stuck together for life. So they decide to be even more unconvenetional and live apart. I loved the image of Justin being allergic to his plants and cats, even though he loves them. It's so sweet.
This is a rather rambling review, but I LOVED this story! Well done!
Author's Response: Wow! What a lovely comment. Thank you :)
I think if a writer wants to keep Brian as Brian, then there has to be some kind of creative solution to the "problem" of his tricking (and other "bad" habits) - because I really don't see Justin ever becoming fully okay with it. He tries in both seasons two and three - and five - but he just can't take it. Which is okay; his feelings aren't unreasonable. But if he wants to be with Brian, he's going to have to figure out a way to have some healthy distance. Separate homes makes sense in that way. Also, I think it prevents Brian from growing complacent. But I don't see a typical relationship ever really working between them - not unless one or both change pretty drastically, and neither of them want the other to change even if it means accepting there are going to be things they don't like about each other, or that make them uncomfortable. Brian would obviously be hard to live with, but I think Justin might be too. All artists are. LOL. And writers. They need their space and alone-time. Also, Justin doesn't want Brian to gobble up his life with his moods, needs, etc. So, yeah, no fluffiness. Or rather not the usual kind of fluffy. I actually think this story qualifies as fluff though. Fun, sexy and sweet. I'm glad you liked it :)

This was fantastic. Loved how things work their way with them living apart. Nice job.

Good idea for this couple. But it doesn't seem required that Brian seel his loft, since his is only one of a few apartments there.
Author's Response: You might be right, but then again, his loft is so connected with the past - and possibly with unpleasant feelings for Justin. Selling it would symbolize a clean break from the past and a new future.
Reviewer: PA Boi (Signed) · Date: January 09, 2015 02:44 AM · On: Chapter 1
Funny story with a really interesting take on the B&J relationship. It actually all makes sense to me.
Author's Response: It's one of the few ways I can picture them having a true happily-ever-after. I'm glad you liked it :)

Strange but enjoyable.
Author's Response: Not always a bad combination :)
Reviewer: YumYumPM (Signed) · Date: January 08, 2015 11:40 PM · On: Chapter 1
Love this idea. It beats seperate bedrooms. Since Justin has cats, Brian doesn't have to worry that Justin won't come back. Justin could never leave his cats.
Author's Response: That is very true! Brian doesn't have to worry Justin will leave him again because Justin is so rooted in his own life in Pittsburgh. He's no longer living out of one of Brian's drawers. If he needs some space from Brian, he doesn't have to pack up and move out. He can just go across the hall :)

Maybe you should write a sequel. 30 years after or so. It would be interesting to see how this worked out, lol.
Author's Response: It'll work even better when they're crotchety old men. Lol :)
Reviewer: JAZZEPOET (Signed) · Date: January 08, 2015 09:00 PM · On: Chapter 1
This is a very good story although I don't think I could have such an arrangement with my lover. I really feel it wouldn’t be conducive in the long run. I understand some of their logic, but what about years down the road...will it still work? I don't know my friend, you present a very interesting situation.
Author's Response: The arrangement definitely isn't for everyone, but I think it is for anyone who wants to be in a relationship with Brian. God, he'd be hard to live with!
Reviewer: LibertySun (Signed) · Date: January 08, 2015 06:20 PM · On: Chapter 1
