I finished reading through the earlier parts of this story yesterday and was really excited to see this new section appear today. I'm crazy about stories in which Brian and Justin are separated and come back to each other to start a relationship and this one is definitely fulfilling that kink.
At the beginning I was really worried about that Brian's interference would crush Dan. So I was not as gung ho as I usually am about Brian/Justin. As you keep telling this story, though, I see how much they should be together in the world you're writing. The way they just spark and bring out the most passionate and intrinsic qualities to their personalities--it makes me a puddle of mush. Like in the conversation you posted between the two in this chapter, Justin causes Brian to really care about someone and work to get him out of a rut and Brian always brings out the real Justin, the one who wants to be the best homosexual he can be.
I do think Justin has sort of allowed himself to calm down and not care as much as he used to care. So I am glad that Brian has decided to butt in and start Justin on the road back to being his real self. And that kiss, manipulative though it was, was hot. I love Brian when he's naughty.
I still think you are doing a great job of writing Dan as a sympathetic but complex original character and not just the evil other boyfriend. Of course you write Brian and Justin exactly as I see them. I'm really enjoying this story and looking forward to more.

Dan's such a rational person that Brian's irrational interference doesn't really phase him!

True. The life that Justin and Dan are living is very ordinary. There is very little self-created drama. Justin's mom dying was tragic, but it was an accident--there was nothing self-inflicted about it.
