I like the long single POV's. Still it's too short. Theoretically I could have go on reading and reading and listening to Justin. Theoretically. Practically not. I did breaks in between reading and tell myself it's because this way I lengthen the reading time but after having finished the whole chapter I realize now that's not it. I have to "swallow" part after part because my heart can't bear it all at once.
Jon. I feel crazily sorry for the ending of their fucking time. I see Justin's point, and I don't like that he sort of used Jon, no matter of him being aware of that. But Jon was good for Justin. Jeez, you can't just keep on waiting for someone to finally commit to you, watching him doing his ways, not caring about how you're feeling while watching. Of course I want Brian to see coming around ASAP and of course I don't want Justin break up with him. But in opposite to the show which focussed more on making Brian looking "better" (at least so I felt) I can hear more from Justin's POV and ...can I dare saying it? - I like him better as the show!Justin. Watching QAF I made so many excuses for him being so young but sometimes it felt lame, it didn't fit show!Justin all the time. This grown up Justin - not flawless, no, not that I don't want to throddle him every now and then - but I can understand him better, even when he makes what I think as mistakes. So...I liked him getting closer to Jon and then his ending it, how he did it, this was so better as show!Justin handled Ethan.Yes, I realized that I really "feel" this Justin here.
The article. The whole part around the opening, the article, the celebration afterwards: yes. Very very good.
And of course it was the perfect transition (can I say so?) to the welcome back dinner, Vic being better, including the make-out session of BJ while non-watching a million photos and, in the end, Brian's revealation regarding the job offer (did I ever tell you how much I hated this part of QAF? I hated it with my full heart). It was amazing to see that I reacted like you'd killed me: I shouted a big NO, don't you dare bringing up THAT here...! Like always you didn't listen. But seriously, you left me sitting here with a very unlucky feeling because now I have this one BJ scene in my mind after Brian gave his by me so hated speech about never looking back - fuck!!! It really works me up, you know? I feel the need to take Brian prisoner and this for as long as it needs to make him see that he can't say things like "not if, when..." because it hurts, it really does like fuck!
Thanks for this new chap, Betty! I wasn't bored......😎 Hugs. 👍 Pet
I'm glad you like the single POV because it's been bugging me. It probably won't be so noticable when the fic is finished and can be read in one go. And if you thought it was too short, the next part is about a third longer. :-)
Justin is way too nice to string Jon along. In fact, Justin is way too nice, period. That's probably the reason you like him better here than on the show, where he was inconsistent to say the least. I think there are many ways young Justin could have gone, so here he is with all his maturity... well, matured. It doesn't seem to help him much though, poor thing.
I actually liked the scene where Brian gives his 'never looking back' speech. I thought it was nicely acted by both of them and made sense for both characters. And there's that one tiny detail that always gets to me at the end of the scene. When they're hugging, you can actually see the indentations of Justin's fingers on Brian's back because he squeezed him so hard. Love it.
Sorry to work you up so much. Not. Lol. But seriously, I'm very glad you weren't bored - yet(?). ;-) Thank you for your lovely comment.
