I really enjoyed this, as S4 is kinda special to me, & so was Vic.

So happy you ended it at Vics grave & not JT taking off for LA,,like as if you'd leave your partner/spouse after fighting cancer. I always hated C/lip for that, they had no freakin idea,,thanks for memories,,Jx

I completely agree with you on that. I'm still mad about it three years later.

sexy_pumpkin March 8 2009, 08:12:26 UTC

The episode the good and truly pissed me off FOREVER was the one after Brian told him he loved him.

I WANTED TO STRANGLE JUSTIN. That episode was from the pod people. After all that time Justin would NOT have acted so non-chalant and....they would have been together after that. Dismal.....

One thing is for sure. CL made us feel something. I still loathe them for some of S 5's episodes.

I liked seeing Brian's thoughts. There is so much more to him and I just wish that his 'family' could see this. Good story.

thanks- Brian keeps his thoughts to himself, but I really do believe that Justin is more aware of them then the others- they only want to see the "old Brian" not the one that is touched by Justin.

Interesting idea with the journal. Something new. That's what I like. There is still new ground that can be covered by writers.

thanks

thank you the compliment. Brian is quiet but I can't help but think that he talks and thinks a lot to himself. this is just a way to show Justin what's inside.

wonderful fic that left me a tad misty. i also liked the way it was structured. the passage with gus was heartwarming but it's brian's relationship with vic that shines through for me-

Vic always believed in me, never questioned why I did what I did, and he always cheered me on. He was the first person who accepted what I was without judgment. Being gay himself, it was easy to come out to him. He gave me my first talk about safe sex, and talked and talked to me until he was sure I would not end up like him--positive.

especially poignant is vic's influence, even after death-

“Thanks for the lesson.”

and thank you for a lovely fic.

As you know, Vic likes to visit my muses and I really do believe that Brian did have a very special relationship with him. He was the only male in his life that he cared for in a non sexual way.
