The boys truly have some decisions to make. However, I'm sure they'll make the best decision for everyone. And maybe talking with Jennifer will help them.
I am really enjoying this arc, I did go back and read the previous 4 chapters to get some context for this chapter. Well Claire certainly knows her brother and she has played them. I love the way Justin called Brian on his bluff about his confessionals lol. I am looking forward to what Jen has to say as well and how the boys are going to work this.
Oliver: Chapter 19: "Choices"galeandrandyJanuary 23 2014, 08:01:47 UTC
Claire certainly knows her brother and she has played them YES! I'm glad you mentioned that because I was afraid that perhaps I made her seem a little too 'forgivable' in the last chapter. I also wanted it to be seen that Brian isn't oblivious you know? He knows Claire in perhaps the same way she knows him, he grew up with her and after all this time, she never tried to apologize before she needed something from him, so I don't think that's a forgiving trait at all. It sucks that she is dying, and yes, Brian will probably make a little bit of peace with her, but it won't be for HIM it will be because of Grey and he'll want to make Grey's transition easier. I think that I'll be posting the next part tonight. I got an email from my proofreader just now so I'm crossing my fingers that she's found some notes that will help me delineate between this chapter and the next. *facepalm* Possibly there will be three chapters posted tonight. Thanks so much for commenting :) Rory
Thank you so much, its always a pleasure to know you are reading my fic, as I am completely in awe of you as an author. I think I'll be able to post about three more chapters tonight, it looks like my proofreader has figured out where I went wrong in some of my document with the labeling of prompts and so hopefully I'll get those posted soon.
Jennifer is the perfect sounding board. Brian and Justin's anger may be because their choice was taken away from them, but deep down it's also because of an innocent child is involved. Next installment please. I'm reading as it comes, but I can't wait to read it continuously.
Thank you, I agree, I always think Jennifer is a great sounding board. What she says to Justin and Brian both in Season 5 regarding the breakup and the proposal are some of my favorite scenes of hers. I think she really turned into Brian's mother at that point and I think their relationship and Brian's trust in her, to tell her his personal thoughts and feelings, would've only grew and continued as the years went by. More is coming, probably tonight. I just got an email from my proofreader. Thanks for reading as I post, I am sorry for the trouble I had with labeling the prompts. I will know to never again write a 50,000 word plus, story in only one document. If I had made separate docs from the beginning labeling each chapter with the prompt name, I wouldn't be having the issues I am now. *sigh* *hugs* Rory
I was wondering if I'd missed a few chapters. It turned out I had, I think I want to read this again from the beginning when it's finished because I enjoy it so much. Really want to read what Jen's take on this is. There was never any doubt that if Gray needed them Brian and Justin were going to take him in. Wonderful chapter.
Oh no, you didn't actually miss any chapters. That authors note was referring to me not posting some in the correct order. When I wrote this, I wrote it in all one document. I forgot to label some of the prompts. So, when I began posting chapter called "Strangers" that was the next one labeled in the document. Before that though, I hadn't labeled some prompts and thought while posting 'strangers' that I had posted everything above that. I hadn't, and there are some other prompts not labeled after 'strangers' in the document. So, I'm trying to figure out where they begin and end. Some are easier to do, some not so much. When mistakes like this happen, especially when the story was written to be a stress reliever and to be quickly written and posted, it becomes the bane of my existence and I don't want to even look at it. LOL

Brian and Justin working as a team to deal with their problems is great and I like that Justin knows where Brian goes to work out his anger.
Looking forward to the next chapter!
