Okay, so the teaser was so mean. And very hot. I was like, Finally! But then you pulled us back to reality. So, is Brian thinking of seeing if Justin will go with him once he leaves Liberty? Can't wait for more.

How can I tell you that??? I'm really glad to hear you enjoyed this, though. I was worried at how it might be received!! So far so good!!

I KNEW it. I knew it was a dream. *grumbles good naturedly*

Oh, but the story is so good. I'm in lub with it.

Yay for you and your quick updates! Is the story really flowing now or have you written ahead?

This fic is completely surprising me because it's so damned easy to write (*makes humble offerings to muses* No complaints!) I take some time every morning to write, and it's just flying. Sometimes I end-up adding the finishing touches late at night (when I can't sleep) so it gets held-over to the next day, but no, it's just that fast! I'm so happy you liked this chapter! I was worried about how it would be received!

Well, for me, this chapter was transitional and affected a very nice mood change and gave me (and Brian) some things to think about. What's not to love about that? :)

I think the fact that it's flowing well speaks volumes for its quality as well. I was originally a little hesitant, but you've done a remarkable job of putting the same characters in a new situation and kept them true to type.

And there's a sequel coming? How much do I love that?

LOL. There will, naturally, be more flexibility in the sequel. I can't really talk about it without ruining any surprises, with the added fact being, of course, that my general ideas of where something might be going get thrown out the window when the characters do something completely different.

I know what you mean about this chapter being a transtion. I think it needed to be included, but I worried that some people might read the beginning at be like wtf! and then get to the end and be like 'well, nothing actually happened!' so I was concerned.

I can understand the hesitancy. The plot is kinda out there! This is actually a challenge I came across at BJFic and the challenge title was literall 'Brian and Justin in a mental institution' and I just laughed my head off. Of course, then my curiosity got the best of me and the result was this.

Freaking hell. I knew it was a dream. But it sure was niiiiiiiiiiiice while it lasted.

I can't believe I'm going to say this but..."Yay for Mel."

Ok I thought Justin was acting a bit bold there at the beginning, but I was like, 'hey at least they're finally doin it' THEN HE WAKES UP!!!!! WAAAAA!!!! But we are making progress which is WONDERFUL!!!! More soon PLZ!!!!
