I don't want to like Dan. I don't *want* to like Dan. Put my boys back together now! Please!

[myrna1_2_3]

It's so healthy that you can express your feelings, because keeping them bottled up just isn't the way to go!

Gradiva...I'm with YOU....

PUUUUUUUHHHHHLLLLLLLEEEEEEEEZZZEEEEEE!!!!

Don't make me like Dan...

[josselin]

I like how Dan thinks big noisy families will upset Justin, since he has never seen Justin over at Debbie's or anything. But I thought Justin should have been right in there insulting Dan's newphew and making snarky comments to join right in the fights, and then Dan could be bewildered and sort of irritated.

Also, you are still evil for killing Justin's mother and making him suffer.

I see Justin as being less than fully invested right now.

The relationship with Dan was never really supposed to happen, but it keeps deepening anyway because they like each other and enjoy each other and then a tragedy like Jennifer's death brings them closer still.

But I do like the idea of a bewildered Dan so now I have a little plot bunny that I'm going to have to fit in somewhere!

If Randy Harrison persists with the irrational attacks on his own good looks, I can hardly be held accountable for the cruelty I inflict on Justin.

I must wholeheartedly agree that RH's self inflicted crimes against male beauty should not go unpunished but, Myrna, what did he do to deserve the cancer in your wonderful If You Needed Me trilogy? ::grins::

Every chapter and bit makes me love this story more, and I agree - I don't *want* to like Dan, and it is clear that there are part of Justin that he hasn't been willing to share with Dan.

" 'What are you supposed to say? Dear Brian, you and your 12-inch cock are to be commended for your stunning display of selfless generosity...' "

Bwahhhaaaaa ...

Aww, thanks for the kind words!

I'm not sure that Justin is consciously keeping parts of himself hidden or if he's just trying to be someone different than he was with Brian since that whole thing seemed to crash and burn around him. I'm a little sorry I didn't introduce a Justin POV to this story, since it would probably help me decide!

[alymid]

if I am not reading too much into it - it just feels likeJustin wants comfortable, and companionship and love, but hasn't persued the intensity thing that he had with Brian, so keeps things on an easier level.

[myrna1_2_3]

Absolutely. You're right about that. I think very few relationships would ever have the intensity that Brian and Justin do! That might be difficult to live without once you've had a taste.

You know what they say: Ya can't keep the boys down once they've seen Gay Paree

[nightsister]

Hm. I sort of agreed with josselin's comment about Justin joining in the fray during the Forrester Sunday dinners, but I also like the fact that Dan *doesn't know* -- about Deb's noisy meals, about Jennifer's fierce mothering, about Brian. Because of that was what made Justin the man he is now, and Brian has the fast track to that side of his former life, not Dan. As much as I like Dan, I think it's great that Justin has that "Brian only" part of him where Dan can't, or doesn't, go.

Gah. Did that make any sense at all?

[myrna1_2_3]

Did that make any sense at all?

It did! I think one of the big changes in Justin is that right now, he's pretty passive. He's letting things happen, but he's not making things happen. He's okay with what's happening, though, which makes it easy to go with the flow.

It's a different energy with Dan because Justin isn't forcing Dan to acknowledge him in anyway. They just sort of are.

[nightsister]

They just sort of are.

So is this a good sort of complacency, or a bad sort of inertia?

On second thought, I guess this is all rhetorical. I'll just wait and see, until you update again. :)

[nightsister]

Sorry for the spam but did you mean to write this in this way? --

"The money will be used to fund cancer research as well as provide housing and other support for family's dealing with the disease."

It should be "families." I know you know how it should be written, but I thought I would just point it out. The fierce way I care is a testament to your writing... ;-D

BWA HA HA!

Fixed now.
