The story is starting to confuse me. Two chapters left, B/J aren't an item... Daphne not suppose to talk to Brian for three years... LOTS TO HAPPEN! So Justin and the old teacher man were part of a vigilante group PAINTING Stockwell this time. I thought that was funny. Much better than posters :)

I would have to say that Brian gets the junior account manager job, and he'll have to hire Justin on in the art department.

SOMETHING HAS TO HAPPEN SOON!

Yep, murals are much harder to remove than posters :D

I want to give you a comforting answer, but I also don't want to spoil everything. I can reveal that we won't see pages upon pages of Brian and Justin happy sexy times. I hope you'll like the next two chapters anyway. I never meant to mislead anyone that this story would be happy or, I don't know, conventionally relationshippy. It's really always been more about how Brian loves and how he struggles against himself than how he and Justin build their life together.

Thank you for commenting! Next part in a few hours.

I was right there with Brian when he was put on hold in favor of Tony’s project - that would’ve driven me crazy. Still the Stockwell mural with its “floating photos of murder victims” was very cool and I gotta love that Justin still finished Brian’s project on time, heheh.

Also, Brian’s stalker skills - awesome! LOL

[rinmonsterer]

Ha, Justin is the little artist that could :D He's making up for the lost time when he was artblocked at seventeen.

OK, so Brian is up against himself?
Anthony is roughly 12 years older than Justin, saved his live, he drives a car that screams 'I am desperately trying to hold onto my sexual peak since Woodstock '94.', gives a fuck what other people'll think, doesn't hide his affection in public. And needs a haircut. Anthony basically is canon Brian. This will be interesting to see, how your Brian will conquer Justin.
*hastily scans the chapters for any signs of Brian playing the violin* :P

Now, why doesn't Daphne speak with Brian for THREE years? Need to know. Stat. Hope you'll update soon!

(Oh, and I didn't hate the NC-17 part. That was just Brian being Brian.)

OK, so Brian is up against himself?

He should be so lucky! Anthony is a more formiddable opponent - he's gentle, patient and doesn't hide his love from Justin. LOL Brian's Jeep isn't old enough to have seen his teenage years!

ahaha, Brian has a tiny violin that he plays in his most angsty moments as a single, manly tear trickles down his cheek.

Glad you didn't hate it! Next part really soon, and the finale should be even sooner after that. Sorry for the delay, I'm having last-minute crisis :)

[love4movies]

I'm sure, there is nothing to worry about. :)

But your answer to the first comment made me a little worried now. Come on, Anthony might be all of this, but he is no Brian.

I love the way how Brian is (not) handling the new Justin. The lines are almost bursting from his struggle. His jealousy is so open to read but still...he keeps being his usual self...well, the way he is here in the story. Stalking Justin, it's a moment to laugh about but then it's kind of sad because we feel his helplessness. Can't find the words or don't want to say them out loud. Watching this from the perspective of a younger Brian is fascinating. Perfect in this situation is bringing in Daphne, the interaction with Brian and also her "open eye" which finally leads to her supporting Brian, at least until now. Oh my, I can't wait for the next chap....
I think the great weather is a good reason to post today again, what do you think?
Hugs,

Another brilliant chapter. I adored the banter between Brian and Daph, so many lol lines in their conversation :)), but they're not gonna be on speaking terms for years????. Anti Stockwell Mural sounds amazing though it somehow bums me out that it's not a BJ collaboration( sorry it's my inner BJ shipper demon lol)
So Brian's struggling with his new found bewilderment caused by the little blond..hmmm...can't wait for the next chapter
