TOWJWAGABI, Part 7

[myrna1_2_3]

I have no control over this story. I swear, it was supposed to be, like, four parts, a little drama, a little angst, a hug or two, The End.

I promise you that was my intention...

Ahhh I am so excited to read this that I commented first! :)

ah Dan, Dan, are your true colors starting to show? Must Sunshine always be the one to get hurt? (this is a rhetorical question Myrna - lololol - I know where you stand)

Myrna, please, don't make this too easy for Brian - he needs to learn a lesson and get SOME payback for being such a colossal shit in the first place.

Myrna, please, don't make this too easy for Brian

I wish I could make it easy for Brian, but I have a feeling I'm going to be wheeling out to the computer in the old folks home to post Part 12,492 where we finally, FINALLY get some @(%&@#! resolution to this story!

YAAAYYYY!!!!

[a_curious_fool]

We get 12,492 parts to this wonderful story??? HOOORAAYY!!!

(Not so good for Myrna, but happy days for us!)

You have no idea how happy this thought makes me!

Wow. Ok, don't have much time to fully comment...

but wow, LOVE this chapter. And coming in close to some major decision time all around- or actually Brian has made HIS decision- now Dan & Justin are up for decision-time. Both got dangled life-time opportunities career-wise. Dan's takes him out of Pittsburgh and has him questioning in some respects how Justin fits into his professional life, while Justin just got a piece of his lifeblood- his art offered like a carrot urging him to pick back up the cart and run... (ok, my metaphor there might be as bad as Brian's possum metaphor, lol).

Again- I love how you alternate between Dan & Brian's pov with both seeing different sides of Justin- neither quite the full picture... but Brian's does seem to be getting clearer in his seeing the 'life' missing from Justin.

Great chapter and really eager to see the next one-- with crunch time coming for Dan to share his career options with Justin and hoping to see that Justin's muse was brought to back. :-)

Thanks for the feedback! Glad you're still on board!

gah! I love, love this story.

[myrna1_2_3]

Thanks!

Damn Dan!

OK, I wanted to like the guy. I did like the guy. But who is he kidding that they haven't talked about the future!!! What is that "don't get your own place" shit about, then!

Dan is totally entitled to pursue his dreams. And, he can think that Justin is an inappropriate partner for those dreams. (We know he's underestimating our Sunshine.) But to be be dishonest by omission! Pisses me off.

(You've generated emotional heat in this chapter!) (I'm almost out of exclamation points!!)

And Brian. Apologizing. Without qualifier. Completely. Taking the blame -- which, by the way, is totally his to take.

Fuck. Can you even believe the way you make me CARE about the characters in this story!!?

OK, so let's whistle in the dogs and bring this story home. It's now totally Brian's to win, and he's got the heart and the guts to stand up and do it. Please, please, please can Justin get hurt not so much - or as little as possible?

Worshiping your writing skills,
LeAnn

[rikkrp]

but there's a definite Down with Dan trend now

And see, I totally get Dan. He's honest. He's not perfect. He didn't PLAN to date an undergrad, he just fell into it. And although he clearly cares deeply for Justin, the impact that relationship has on his life isn't something he can just ignore. Also, he's kind of an old fuddy duddy. A nice, and good fuddy duddy, but a fuddy duddy none-the-less.

Which is why ultimately, no matter how good he is *to* Justin, I'm not sure he's the best *for* Justin.
