I CAN SEE CLEARLY NOW, PART 1 / 12

Nov 27, 2012 14:27

SUMMARY: This a sequel to Trying To Make Some Sense Of It All and therefore still an INVERTED AU. (You should probably read that one to make some sense of this one at all. :-D) It is set four years in the future. Brian has just started his last year of college.

AN: I’m just flexing my writing muscles a little with this one. There were one or two ( Read more... )

i can see clearly now, qaf fic

OMG! OMG! OMG! Christmas has *definitely* come early this year. A new story from Betty! PLUS it's a sequel to something I already adore!! I miss the inverted AU. I miss your writing.

This is my hell week (our Variety Show) so having this to read will give me something to look forward to. I can't wait.

All my best!
JoAnne :)

Goodness, Jo Anne, that must be the fastest comment I ever got. Thank you so much. I hope it will be to your liking, so that it can brighten your week a little. :-)

I've been reading along each day you post, but I hate leaving comments from my phone, so I had to wait to get back on my laptop.

You had me guessing right off the bat for the POV we were reading. I thought it was Brian, at first, waiting for Justin to come into the bar. Then I thought it was Lindsay when Melanie was mentioned. I love how you made Justin and Mel friends here. It's a good balance to the Lindsay/Brian college relationship.

And I'm so glad you killed off Jack early. I'm thrilled to see a world where Jack is out of Brian's life this young. You saved him years and years of torture. ;)

I would have been quite happy to let Jack go to his grave not knowing. But no, Justin thought it would be good for me to tell him. I love this. Brian might not know it now, but he'll thank Justin when he's older because he had closure with his Father. He doesn't know it yet, but this moment gave him the power to be independent and confident in his lifestyle.

This is my favorite part though:
Your parents are wrong. They’ve always been ( ... )

I think it's a sign of the times. People read on their phones and then it's too fiddely to comment, so it gets left. That's probably one of the reasons, that the comments are dwindling in the fandom. So, kudos for you, for going back to actual comment.

Brian was really screwed up by Jack, and yet he couldn't quite detach himself from him either. This weird relationship they had, where Jack would ostensibly approve of how well he was doing and really only want the money Brian was giving him. It always freaked me out a little. That must have been incredibly painful for Brian.

Thank you again, JoAnne, for taking the time to do this.

Thank you. I will try and stick to a two day schedule but as you know I'm very busy with work.

And I know all about being a free taxi service, too. What would they do without us? :-D

Hugs.

OK, so I treated myself to a re-read of TTMSSOIA. Schweres Schicksal. ;)

(Brian's waiting in the hospital is written soooo well and his confrontation with his mother after she learned about the accident. 'ASK ME.' Love it so much!)

Now I'm right back into the atmosphere of your AU and I really enjoyed reading the new chapter. I'm so excited you decided to continue this story!

And, yay, off to read the next one.

kachelofen November 29 2012, 18:42:26 UTC

Oh dear, what a chore! I'm surprised you survived. Lol.
I had to read it myself before posting to make sure everything lines up. I hope this one will hold up. :-)

duffy_60 November 27 2012, 16:26:35 UTC

I did a very quiet Emmett squee and hand clap when I saw this come up on my flist. I love that 'verse, and now you've contintued it! (I know, I'm stating the obvious.)
Let the angst commence. Brian is still a handful. I'm so looking forward to reading this.

Later!!

kachelofen November 27 2012, 22:19:49 UTC

Hi Daphne, I think you're right about the angst. I hope you'll enjoy it. Thank you.

Hugs.

pam81 November 27 2012, 16:53:03 UTC

OMG Yes!!!!! You're back with a new story!!! *does the happy dance* Okay, sorry! But it's so exciting to se you back!

We'll be back later after reading this first part ;)

pam81 November 27 2012, 17:35:03 UTC

Well, let me say just one more time how happy I was to see this new story and it's so good that you are writing in this universe again.

So, the old, bad Jack is leaving us? Good. But this is going to be hard for Brian.

Loved to see how Justin's taking care of him and that he still can see behind Brian's mask and all his bullshit.

Can't wait for more ♥ Hugs

kachelofen November 27 2012, 22:23:21 UTC

I'm glad you enjoyed it after you actually read it. It's a bit scary when people say that it's great that I wrote something before they read it. Although it's wonderful that they trust me so much.
Thank you so much for your comments, Pam. It's great to see you around a bit more recently. ♥
