Thank you! It's so important to me to keep our boys 'real'. I appreciate the comment very much.

I've been so hungry for an update of your story and here it is!

I can understand Brian's logic and I can also understand why Justin is so upset. But, Brian needs to do this in his way and in his time.

Gosh yes! As much as Justin cares for an loves Brian, he can't go through this for him. Brian has to do what's right for him. Thank so much for reading and taking the time to comment. I really appreciate it!

Oh this is just so good. If you taking your time to get the next chapter out means we get the same quality as these 4 then you're worth the wait. I came across fan-fiction by accident and some of them are..... well, not that good.This makes searching for the good stuff a pleasure. Thank you.

Wow, thank you very much! If you are new to QaF fic, you are definitely in for a treat. This fandom has some of the best writing I've read anywhere (not just fic). I am proud to be just a tiny, tiny part of it. Thank you for reading and I hope you enjoy the next part(s) as much. ((hugs))

I chanced upon this story at the beginning and as I usually do, I read a portion. I loved and cried my way through "Valediction" so I knew you are a talented writer. However, the part I read concerned the surrogate and since B/J having babies in the burbs, living in Britin is not my cup of tea, I moved on. I just re-found the story, not remembering my earlier encounter and read this chapter before going back and reading from the beginning

Oh wow, I am very glad you gave the story a second chance. Though the child is definitely a part of the story, it's not 'the' story. I, too, have a thing for h/c, and Brian is such a complex character that it's irresistible to me to see how he deals with such devastating circumstances.

I really appreciate your insights into 'my' Brian and Justin here. They are spot-on, especially when it comes to Justin. And Brian... oh Brian. I'm not sure we will ever really know how close he came to buying that ticket to Ibiza.

I also appreciate your comment on the medical stuff. Part of the reason this story has taken me so long lies in trying to get that right. I'm glad the somewhat jumpy timeline/POV's works and isn't too confusing. I've never written first-person before so it's been a challenge!

Thank you so much for the thoughtful words (and kind compliment). I hope you enjoy the rest of the story. Stay tuned!

Hi! I'm so glad I found your post about QAF Con at GATT and was redirected here to see that you updated this fic. I read first two parts long time ago and thought the story was brilliant. I thought that it was never going to be updated but I'm so glad I was wrong.
Looking forward to the next part. And I friended you so I don't miss the updates. I hope that's ok.

[q_dicted]

Oh! I'm glad you found it, too. I'm so grateful that people came back after the too-long hiatus. I am still a slow writer, but I mean it when I promise that it will never be abandoned.

Thank you for the sweet compliment. I'm glad you're enjoying the story so far.
