Well that was wicked healthy! I loved it! Way to go Vic! I love it when Alex pops in during our favorite fics! You go man, get Deb healthy and open her eyes!

Great update. Hopefully they will get through to Debbie, but a mother is always a mother no matter what. You writing is so amazing that a chapter can be this good without Brian & Justin as the main focus. Terrific job. Feeling better? Sure hope so.

Go Vic he loves Deb and remembers her care and love for him and he is trying to to help her. However he is going to sacrifice Michael because he knows there will be no coming back for him and Deb has been constantly abused by Michael without her realizing it

I like Vic! I hope with Rodney, Alex and Stephen he can help Deb to see clearly in Michael's game and make the right decision. Great chapter.

I love your idea of Michael and Lindsay who paid Ethan !! my god it's so bad. and Ethan who thinks himself irresistible. they really did not understand anything about brian and Justin's love. Jennifer is perfect and Molly also the Taylor form a nice Wasp team.

If Alex Rodney and Stephen can't get through to her then I see no hope of her seeing the error of Michael's ways. Vic"s assessment was spot on. She does hate not being the center of everyone's life.
Michael just got his ass blown out of the water with Vic's little discovery in the basement. Hope Ted gets it moved out before Michael shows up. Which he certainly will if for no other reason but to find out why Deb hasn't gotten back to him. Yeah, Vic knows him well.
Now the question remains that after this intervention, will it do any good or wiil she finally find a backbone where Michael is concerned?

Ohhh! Now you're trying to make me cry! Love that Vic won't abandon Deb and is determined to keep Michael from taking her down any further with him. Hopefully Alex and Stephen will be able to get through to her.

Fantastic chapter. Seeing everything from Vic POV, I just hope that it gets through that tough noggin that Deb has for a head.
Date: Jul 05, 2018 3:58 am Title: BRACING FOR IMPACT
I love Vic: he is so important in Brian and Justin's lives and doesn't take BS from lots of people.

i'm certainly crossing my fingers that Alex can do some good with Deb. It would take a miracle at this point. But, something could get through to her. She hasn't even had a chance to feel what Michael has caused her to lose. It's massive. Thanks for all the past explanations about those.
I'm glad you had Vic take care of the answering machine and I can't wait to find out what's in the crates.
A double post today - Excellent.....I feel spoiled. Thank you
Hope your day was a wonderful one.

Hi Nichelle, I did realize I wrote the 200th, but didn't remember I also wrote the 100th; let's try to hit the 300th...
When the story is great, it seems quite easy to keep your readers captivated; I guess the frequent updates are helping keep the tension high. Let's not forget that you are in the top 5 of the favorite authors. That means something.
Happy writing!

If I had 2 sec I would feel sorry for Michael and Ethan, but you know what, I don't have such time for them. I feel bad for Jennifer though.
I can't wait to see how Lindsey will react when they will come to see her about the money she gave to Ethan.
Author's Response:
First, thank you soooooo MUCH for being my 200th review! I never imagined when I started writing this that it would garner the response it has.
Michael and Ethan are a special kind of desperate...SMH But whereas Ethan has a modicum of self-preservation where he would at least think twice about pushing Brian, Michael has none. It will be interesting to see how far he's willing to sink from this point on.
As for Lindsay, all will come out, and when she least expects it!
Stay tuned, Darling!
HAPPY READING and HUGS,

Of course the imbecile & the cunt paid Ian...I'm not surprised. I absolutely love Justin's calm sense of courage & justice. I can't believe shit for brains is still fighting this...he's gonna end up in a cell too!
Author's Response:
Hey Shine! As you know I always love writing a strong Justin. Michael is definitely in for several rude awakenings dealing with him.
Happy Reading and HUGS,

Great chapter. The noose around Michael's neck is getting tighter and Brian is now aware of just how bad her & Linds really are. And, you have done so well with turning Justin into a powerful man so that Brian has an equal. Terrific job. Thanks again for this wonderful story. Hope that you are feeling better.I am still having side effects from my shot, but I will live. HUGS & 4th of July firewords to you.
Author's Response:
Hey Marilynne! Happy 4th to you and yours! I'm doing as well as can be expected and trying to extend my writing time a bit more each day.
Michael is one for whom the idea of self-preservation really doesn't register. One has to admire his tenacity, even if we are all looking forward to his downfall.
I have always loved to write a 'strong' Justin. I've never seen him as the weakest link in his and Brian's relationship, although many writers tend to write him that way. Sure, he might have some issues, but don't we all? So I try to write him in a way as close to 'human' as possible.
Happy Reading and HUGS,

Lol that’s taken care of Ian and almost all of widdle Micky good job

Perfect! Justin certainly knows Michael's motives and how he manipulated Brian in the past. So glad that Brian let Justin handle Michael the way that Justin let Brian handle Ethan.
And Lindsay paying Ethan to pursue Justin! She should get life in prison for that alone! And have Mikey as a cellmate!
Looking forward to the next chapter!
*HUGS*

Well, Lindsay and Michael might have to pool their future resources if they manage to stay out of jail. If they get jobs at the Big Q or McDonald's perhaps they could share an apartment. That gives me chills.
I never liked Ethan and I like him even less now. Lindsay, Michael, and Deb are really something. Personally, I cannot abide people who cannot accept personal responsibility. You've made them punch all my buttons. i find myself wanting to commit acts of violence on them. hahahahaha I better go take a pill . hahahahahah thanks for the entertainment.

Two down and one to go. Ethan and Mikey got tossed, now to give Deb a go. Loving this.
Date: Jul 04, 2018 12:19 am Title: STUPID IS AS STUPID DOES BUT DOES THAT APPLY TO A SORRY ASS, TOO?
I don't know how you find the time to write so quickly. It takes me forever to write these days, but hopefully that will change soon. Anyway- love that Brian figured out that Ethan was the puppet of Linds and Michael. Such interesting twists and turns. Enjoyed having Molly text Justin to tell him about Mr. Whiney. I don't like Michael or Lindsay and I do believe they are as manipulative as you write them. Loving the update and the story.
Date: Jul 04, 2018 12:16 am Title: STUPID IS AS STUPID DOES BUT DOES THAT APPLY TO A SORRY ASS, TOO?
Not surprised by Lindsay and Michael involving the chin rat. Wouldn't be them if they didn't. He was so good at playing the starving artist and letting Justin using his pay and tips for the hovel they were in, where did the money go?
Justin's smackdowns surpass his husband's.
What an idiot to try and use either Brian's or Justin's money to fix his problems. Mommy is not going to be happy he failed. Deb should be by the office the next day. Hope security is called on her too. Jenn thinks Justin learned it all from Brian, but she's been teaching him since he was little. She just didn't know it. Next chapter should be just as fun as this one. Yay!

Date: Jul 03, 2018 11:43 pm Title: STUPID IS AS STUPID DOES BUT DOES THAT APPLY TO A SORRY ASS, TOO?
Yes I can see Lindsay pulling the strings and leaving Michael to get caught with his hand in the cookie jar and crumbs beside him, Thank Goodness she is such an amateur and Michael as usual needs to be lead by the nose.
Michael running to Jennifer proved to be a waste of everyone's time cause while he screeched, Justin was the model of decorum Jennifer taught him to be, by staying calm, cool and collective while tearing Michael down he showed that he is the adult and Michael is a child throwing a tantrum when he doesn't get his way again.
Brian and Justin should have money set aside for Jennifer cause Debra is coming to defend her baby and this time Jennifer may lose her Wasp Cool and beat her down lol
Won't take long for word to spread that Michael and Brian are over, Brian and Justin Taylor-Kinney are married, suing Michael for money he stole from Justin and Brian.
A quiet voice is louder than a shout :)
Jennifer is right that Michael and Debra being together under the same roof will force one or both to see the truth or continue the denial while blaming everyone else.
It will also force Debra to face her greatest fear which is not being Alone, but being Alone with Michael <shudders>

I’m loving this so much- you’ve got me completely addicted already- I love that Brian and Justin are finally discussing things and Brian is beginning to understand how much Michael, Lindsay and Deb are able to manipulate him and pull his strings. :)

Date: Jul 02, 2018 7:01 pm Title: REFLECTIONS and DECISIONS
I have been saving this story for a day when I really needed a boost- I seriously can’t tell you how much I’m looking forward to reading this- the summary/intro had me really excited and now just having finished the first chapter I’m already feeling the joy :)
Date: Jul 02, 2018 3:44 pm Title: THE ANTI-MICHAEL, CAPTAIN P.I.T.A., and MIKEY Jr.
That's what I call a magnificent verbal bashing: Brian can be very good with words when the subject matters. I'm wondering who will first react to the "husband" part.

Date: Jul 02, 2018 12:02 pm Title: THE ANTI-MICHAEL, CAPTAIN P.I.T.A., and MIKEY Jr.
Getting Daphne involved is sheer genius. I love how she let Bob and Brad have it. Having Michael evictied was great too.Then to top it off Ethan was given walking papers too. What more could you do?
