Interesting visit between Mikey and Em. Did em really expect to be kept in the loop? He has been more like Auntie Acid than Aunti Em. I hope Justin doesn't listen too closely to Mikey's advice and still spends a lot of time with Brian, Justin promised to stay with him. Brian never made any promises to stick around so I think maybe Justin has to review his Kinney manual and refer to the promises chapter...don't promises something you can't do. Justin doesn't need to hover but he can't backdown either. I guess I just want Justin to keep building himself up again to the Justin of 2005 pre-NY.
Emmett has gone his own way, which I don't think is OOC for him. He's always had a nasty streak underneath -- remember how he was to Ted during See the Light? Or about Blake when Ted was in rehab? Or about Justin after he got bashed? Ten years down the road, I can see him being a bitter guy.
In the last month, I've started searching for B/J fic again, after a six year absence. How great to run across this. I'm glad you are writing Brian and Justin together in 2016. Might I beg for more? It was a joy.
Now this is an interesting slant on Emmett, I often have wondered why fic writers often portray Emmett as a very good friend to Justin when in actual fact he was quite dismissive at times. I remember when they were discussing, Justin post the bashing he said Brian needs to go and get himself a new toy! He was in the end very unsupportive with Ted during the drug arc, awful to Blake and most of the time totally self involved. He often enjoyed being verbally mean to Brian to his face and behind it. Great chapter I hope Justin still stays close to Brian but does take on board the smothering advise from of all places Michael!

I like how supportive and thoughtful Michael is toward Justin and his place in Brian's life.
