Wow, that took my breath away! EXCELLENT update. Girlfriend dat der was goooooddd! Please update soon, I'm begging you!

[methylethyl]

Thank you! I know it's a bit of a cliffhanger, but just hang in there until Saturday, all right?

I love this story. I'm on the edge of my seat waiting for more!! Thank you!

[methylethyl]

Just don't fall off!

(Yeah, I know, I'm hysterical.)

So riveting!

I felt the clock running out on Justin and almost screamed "Yes!" when he got that last call to Daphne in the nick of time! Plus, the final jeep scene spoke volumes; Brian finding the strength when he can't even lift his head, to force Justin to save Luke first. That's so Brian!

Not sure if my heart can handle it, but I'll be back for part 8 =).

Thank you! This chapter was a blast to write--it was all intense emotions and fast-paced action. I think I wrote it in one sitting. I think it shows. *g*

I really like Brian's last insistence that Justin put Luke before him, because it's the first glimpse we get of that heart of gold Brian hides so well. It's like all of Justin's beliefs have just been validated.

Part eight will be intense, definitely, but not quite so action-packed as this chapter. It'll be up on Saturday!

awesome chapter! so much happened! I obviously knew Brian wouldn't "leave"(you know what I mean) Justin when he knew about Luke but that final sentence... let me speechless, Brian is so noble

I can't undestand how Craig can be in that good shape LOL, come on, Brian is 29 years old and works out every day! and here and in season one Craig beats the fuck out of Brian, who is he? Hulk?

see you saturday ;)

Thank you! Although I wouldn't be so quick to say that Brian is all noble, Supportive Guy--Brian may be able to prioritize right now, but I think later he might have a few things to say to Justin. Wouldn't be Brian if he didn't... Lol.

I think that in the series, and in this story, Craig has both the weight and element of surprise advantages. He uses those to get a good hit on Brian, and Brian (who has probably been in three fights in his entire life, if canon is anything to go by) can't get enough leverage to fight back. In the show, Emmett, Ted and Michael help him out, but in this story, they weren't here to do that.

Thank you, as always, for your wonderfully detailed feedback. See you Saturday!

"...no hos... hospital... no..."

"What?" I jerked back, startled. "Brian, you're half-dead."

He shook his head. "Your kid."

This part here absolutely kills me.

[methylethyl]

It seems to be everyone's favorite part. *g*
