It's funny how Justin was discovering Brian's stuff: maybe would he have found a condom in the items he didn't check. His reaction to the phone was funny. At least, he saw Gus. I guess the date wasn't displayed with the year, otherwise he would have had some more questions to ask Brian.
The reactions Brian had with his bare torso were hilarious, either from the hotel employee or Justin's.
A nap? Really?
I can't wait how Brian will manage to use a modern condom.
Author's Response:
Wow! I didn't even think about including a condom in there. Thanks for the great suggestion. Now, how *IS* Brian going to explain that . . . when we get there. And, no, I checked my own phone when I was writing that part and the year doesn't show up with the date on the screen (I'm trying to be very precise with details here, but if you catch me out on something, I'll give you a holler).

"Applesauce! He's . . . gorgeous!" LOL.. I love the 'applesauce'. There's a striking difference in the everyday behavior of people 75 years apart in time. I can remember just during my own life how differently I talked and acted with people in the 60s and 70s and the way I interact with them now. I'd have scared my younger self to death! LOL.
This is so nice, to see a Brian who isn't chomping at the bit to be his studly self, who's taking his time and just enjoying his life, getting to really know someone. And worry about someone. I really love this story. I'm scared about Hobbs being in it though... Dun-dun-dun....
Can't wait for the next installment and see what little surprises Brian brings back from the future nexst time! Drawing paper and pencils, perhaps. Would they be hard to come by in WWII England?
Author's Response:
We were going over the lists of 1940s slang when I saw that ‘Applesauce’ was a mild expletive of the time and I could just SEE our innocent little Justin saying it. It fits him. 😊. Thanks for the suggestion for Brian’s next treat from the future. Excellent suggestion! TAG

What a fun chapter! I love Justin's little "happy dance" around the hotel room.
I suppose in order to be successful as a fighter pilot, Justin has to "separate" himself a bit from the reality of it.
Author's Response:
Can't you just see Justin twirling around the room all romantically? LOLOLOLOL. TAG

Well, well well, both boys were extremely busy. Haha well I'm sure Justin wanted to make his note sound totally generic, just in case someone else read it. Ya know Justin's snooping is going to complicate things right? He'll find something besides the cell phone and Brian will have to tell him he's from the future. Justin will probably think he's fallen for an insane person. Lol yes the flirting and snuggling was adorable but I want sex! Hee hee I mean, THEY want sex...
Author's Response:
I don't think *THIS* Justin is ready for our Brian . . . give him time, though. He's still the spunky little fireball we all love under that provincial 20th Century mien. TAG

First he has to fight the whole German army, now you throw in Chris Hobbs. Give a little gay boy a break.
Author's Response:
Nope. We needed a good villain, so Hobbs it is... LOL.
Date: Nov 13, 2017 7:18 pm Title: Chapter 7 - Ain’t Misbehavin’
Well that was a close call with Hobbs! Maybe he won't suspect anything as Justin isn't openly gay in this story. He is quite a "regular guy" and so is Brian. Let's hope.
I have one question: is the portal only for Brian or can somebody else use it? I was thinking of Justin or Cynthia.
Date: Nov 13, 2017 5:01 pm Title: Chapter 7 - Ain’t Misbehavin’
Omg you're killing me here! I thought for sure the boys would go back to Justin's and 'chat'...ahhhhhhhhhhh...
Christ! Even Hobbs is there...yikes! Loved Justin's explanation of the levels of homosexuality in the 40's.

Love all the details, very informative. Of course Justin dies a hero but his body was missing....hmmmm will Brian try to change history here? I think so.
Love Cynthia, she's the best!

Oh no. You've added a new winkle. Chis Hobbs. That can only mean trouble.

Wonderful! Just what I needed tonight!
I love the description of the White Lion clientele... and of course, Brian would have a category all to himself - the Yankee Oscar Wilde. It suits him. :-)
I also found very intriguing the idea of Brian being taken aback by the loss of life - even if they were enemy lives. And he's right, at this time the true horrors of the Nazis were probably not well known. But what we DO know is that the appearance of Chris Hobbs cannot be a good thing!
As always. anxiously awaiting the next installment!

Very informative chapter!
The bomb mapping is insane: I didn't know it has been so much. I will have to read more about this and why it stopped long before the end of the war. I know it was one regret of Germany not to be able to break the British and not to invade their country.
Brian and Cynthia: I love their relationship.
How will Brian try to save Justin?
Author's Response:
Did you look at the interactive bombing map - wasn't that crazy? We were researching it and almost blown away by the sheer number of bombs dropped on London. I just can't imagine living there through that. TAG

This is delightful! I love the teasing and that Brian thought to buy medicine and chocolate for Justin.

OMG I'm crazy about this story. I haven't been reading any QAF fiction lately and now I'm back to this thanks to you! Could it be that Justin is listed as dead yet the body was not found since he mysteriously disappeared from the RAF (we all know where and with whom it could have happened...) and someone wanted to cover it up? :>
Author's Response:
Gald to have rekindled your QAF interest! More coming soon! TAG

I love the use of period images in this, too. Brings a whole other dimension to the story. We've all seen the uniforms in movies, but how long does that image stay with you. This is really a good idea and a very good story!
Thank you. The plot bunny was Sally’s. But TAG fell in love with it too. And we are having the most fun researching everything. Happy reading. TAG & Sally

This is going to be soooo good. Brian confused as heck, sliding back in time, in the middle of WWII!
I loved the kiss! LOLOL... How do you explain that kind of thing? Thank goodness for the knock on the head. Oh, wait until he gets a clue! No Babylon! Ouch...

So excited that you’re reading this! Prepare for many DM chat sessions to come. TAG

THe detail is amazing , getting the art department to make fakes was brilliant.
Author's Response:
The details - the research - is almost the funnest part! TAG

Oh no. Somehow I'm hoping the reason no body was found is because he now exists in 2016.

No comment. *wink* TAG

RL has been keeping me busy, but that meant that I got to treat myself to two chapters tonight. I love, LOVE, LOVE that Brian buys Justin a wool peacoat, LOL!
When I first read the note from Justin to his mother at the beginning of the Fic. I was a little saddened at the prospect of him just disappearing... No matter how he tried to reassure her, I just imagined that would be such a difficult thing for a mother to accept. But now that I see what would have have been his fate had he not made the time-travel decision, it is a much happier prospect.
Already awaiting the next chapter!
Author's Response:
That’s assuming he DOES have the ability and desire to time travel.... no guarantees. *wink* TAG

Just a kiss? Omg I have to patient I guess...it is 1941 after all. lol Justin is too adorable with his manner of speaking. More please!
Date: Nov 09, 2017 3:22 am Title: Chapter 5 - I’ll Be Seeing You
They are so sweet together.
[Report This]Date: Nov 09, 2017 2:58 am Title: Chapter 5 - I’ll Be Seeing You
Getting back to 1941 almost seems like a fluke. I wonder if it would work in reverse could Justin go forward to 2017?

I was wondering how you would get him back. Awesome.

Thank you for reviewing, we're glad you're enjoying this :)

Ya, know... I might be fascinated with walking around 1940's London too, although I'm sure I'd be much more freaked out than Brian! Something tells me that time portal is going to get very busy, very quickly!
Date: Nov 07, 2017 12:21 am Title: Chapter 4 - Let’s Pretend.
Holy shit! No wonder Brian was hyperventilating. Lol The poor guy! Get him back to Blue Eyes pronto! This is so different & awesome!
[Report This]Date: Nov 06, 2017 10:50 pm Title: Chapter 4 - Let’s Pretend.
Wow. He managed to make it back. I wasn't sure he could. Let's hope he tries to return to meet with his Blue Eyes.
