Ah, Brian...
This is IMHO so nicely in character for him, something I am incapable of doing, as are the people who have him be Kinneyesque but without rhyme or reason. Your Brian is just... Brian, with his logic, his desires, his fucked up priorities. It's great.
Of course I wonder about Justin, his recent past, his problems, his agenda. Hopefully, he is in stalking mode again, though maybe a more delicate one than previously...
I admire you for doing this as a WIP. I only did that once and thought I was going to die dead from the pressure...Thanks for the most refreshing b/j approach in a while.

Thank you so much for the kind comments! It means a lot coming from a fellow BJ writer. :) I'm very much a one-shot kind of girl, but writing this as a WIP has been pretty fun. I have to say that everyone's support and feedback has made it much easier to get the chapters out quickly. It's also a lot more nerve-wracking because you know you have so many people looking forward to the next chapter. I always worry about fucking it up, lol.

Brian can be a real challenge to write, and I questioned my sanity when I began writing from his POV because my style is so restrictive. He's been behaving quite well for the most part. I find when writing, it's good to go back and watch clips of the episodes just to get a feel of his diction, pacing, etc.

Another problem with writing from 3rd person restrictive is that you have to get Justin's story via Brian. But, I promise that you'll get a little more about Justin in each chapter! And hopefully it'll be worth the wait. :)

Wow I so enjoyed those two chapters I am eagerly waiting to see how this all plays out, thanks so much

[museme87]

Thank you! Glad enjoyed. :)

Thank you so much for all the feedback, dear! I really appreciate it, doubly so since English is a second language for you.

The interesting thing about writing this completely from Brian's pov is that you're not going to have access to Justin until Brian does. It keeps things tense, and it keeps you wondering what's up with Justin. But I don't think you'll be disappointed in Justin after it all comes out. As you said, this isn't a soap opera and I don't intend to take it there.

And I'm glad you like the name! I hate when authors give kids really bizarre names. I'm more a fan of classic names; there's still a lot of be said for them. At this point in time, I haven't planned any special meaning for Elise's first name, but I do have some sort of trick up my sleeve for later that's related to this!

OMG, the urchin is back

Thank you so much for all the feedback, Pet! I'm really glad you're enjoying this and I'm flattered by your comments. :)

I think you have Brian and Justin figured out. Justin is still an enigma, and he will be for a while. Each chapter will reveal a little more about him and his relationship with Brian. So hang in there!
