I fucking hate Joan Kinney, what a cold, vile old lady. I am so glad he has Debbie in his life. Blood doesn't make you family, love does, and Debbie loves him like her own.
I really never knew until reading this how with this type of SCI a man couldn't ejaculate anymore, I cannot imagine how that would make him feel.
I love this change in Brian.

I seriously love everything about the way you write this story.

what Justin said makes so much sense, until Brian sees himself as worthy again, people will see he has doubts about himself. Once he's back to his usual cocky, confident self, people will come running.

I can see that hug so perfectly in my head with Debbie, and it makes my heart sing happily.
Now Brian needs to ask Justin to move in.

I am so proud of how far Brian has come and how he was so honest with his feelings.

His life is in NYC, not just with Justin, but because he can be himself there. No one knows him and it is more accessible.

It must have been so hard for the rest of the family as well, and their nagging only shows how much they love him

The end has me smiling so big, Justin loves him no matter what and it's about time Brian realises that.

Reading this for a second time and it's like reading it for the first time all over again. I am picking up bits I missed the first time around. I totally get why Brian didn't tell Justin, his reasons made perfect sense and what I loved was that Justin totally understood.

Justin showed him how he still thinks of him as strong and sexy. It's easy enough to say it, but to be shown it's true is another thing. Way to go, Justin.

What Justin said, about how you're not in their mind though, is so true. I think we all do this to some extent.

It takes courage to speak to someone, so Brian is being brave here.

Yay, so happy he was brave enough to ask Justin to move in with him. And hopefully, he'll take Justin's advice and stop comparing himself to how he used to be.

Well, this made me cry, especially the scene with Deb at the end.
I have a friend who became a paraplegic five years ago, and what you have written is so accurate, the grief, the anger, everything.

They're talking so much more now than ever, I am so proud of Brian for admitting all of this to Justin.

Brian needs to do this, for himself, to feel like he's in control again.

Justin is so fucking accepting, I love that about him.

I can't be lieve Brian didn't tell Justin, but I completely understand his reasoning, and it makes sense when you hear his reasoning.
I am looking forward to hearing how they manage life together like this.

Just finished reading this amazing story. While it was initially difficult to witness loss of the perfection that had been The Great God Brian Kinney, and to read of his terrible mental and physical pain after the accident, his courage in not only turning his life around, but eventually even putting himself out there as the face of disability, was moving and inspiring. And of course Justin played no small role in Brian's transformation. Despite the AU circumstances, everyone was true to character. Your writing is really impressive, and I look forward to enjoying more of your oeuvre.

Thank you so much! I admire and enjoy your writing a great deal, so it means a lot to hear this from you! Brian places such importance on his sexuality as well as his physical appearance, that I thought it might be interesting to explore how he would react to such a life-altering circumstance. I'm glad it plays out well and they are still true to character. I can't seem to let this version of Brian go, so there will be much more from him I'm sure, in addition to what's already been written. :) Thanks again! <3

This story was actually hard for me to read. I had to take a break before I could finish it. I felt so much empathy with Brian - not that I’m phyically disabled or anything, but because I’m dealing with my own losses this year - so it was difficult for me to see him get through the struggle to acceptance when I’m not there yet. You did a wonderful job detailing all that emotion. Great writing job. TAG

Love the idea of Brian advertising himself. He can sell anything, right? TAG

I think Brian just needs to take Justinalong with him on his business meetings so every time he starts doubting himself, Sunshine can give him a good ‘talking to’ *wink* TAG
