Gus always makes me laugh. I think a safe sex talk from Brian might be a bit terrifying! Talk about too much knowledge.

The B/J version of sex talks is such a challenge that I wanted to devote a separate segment to it.

I'm glad you're still enjoying Gus and his unintentional sense of humor.

OMG--That sounds hilarious! I'd love to hear about that adventure.

The B/J guide to safe sex will be up soon. I want to keep it IC so I didn't want to rush it.

Thanks for continuing to read and comment! :D

I read the first part of this way back when you first posted it but then somehow missed the second one and just never got caught up. So today I sat down and read them all and I just love it! You do a great Gus voice and each one of your story lines has been perfect.

Such a unique situation to have Gus living with them after living with his moms for so long. It really allows you to give him all the teenage angst but also let him realistically talk to his dads about his problems. Not sure the relationship would work as well if he had lived with them all along.

I especially loved this last chapter and I can't wait to see what happens with Gus and his new love interest.

I won't get behind on this again :)

I'm so glad you found this again. I really like living in the B/J & G universe from Gus' POV.

I don't think this would have worked if Gus had lived with them all along but I think the newness for all of them makes it work as an adventure for each new experience.

Thank you sooooo much for your terrific feedback and I hope to do justice to B/J's safe sex chat and Gus' response with the new hottie. LOl

Aww, these are so cute! I read them all shortly after I came back from my extended vacation but I wanted to wait until the next one was posted to comment. What a great treat to be living with Brian and Justin! If only the rest of us were so lucky...sigh. Anyway, I really like your Gus -- he's so sweet and unassuming. I wonder what will happen with Jeff? I guess you'll just have to update quickly!

I'm so glad that you're enjoying Gus' POV. After living with a house full of women all these years this is all new to him.

I'll try to make sure not to wait to long to post the next installment. I just want to always make sure I keep B/J IC with everything they do so I wanted to pause here first.

OMG, I loved finding this washed up on my flist today like an unexpected gift. I adore this series. (You are never allowed to stop writing it.)

First, holding hands under the table--aw! Kinney really has melted over the years.

Then:

Did you want us to cry or be upset? Justin, you’re a great drama queen, can you queen-out for Gus so he thinks he’s gotten the appropriately intense reaction.”

Justin just rolled his eyes and said, “I learned from the best,”
LOL!

And what a cliffie! Yikes, what 'version' of sex ed will Gus be subjected to.

shadownyc August 21 2007, 16:50:27 UTC

I'm working the B/J version of a safe sex and responsibility chat while making sure they stay IC. Thus the break...to buy a little time. *winks*

I couldn't resist those queen-out comments, they just seemed so B/J. That's what's great about approaching this from Gus' POV, we get to see all from an "outside" voyeur, who's invited in by B/J themselves.

Thanks so much for the wonderful feedback!
