Fantastic story. You give us angst with a happy ending. I know I'm happy.

Great ending. Sometimes it takes a life altering experience to change your life. I recently "retired" from a job I had for 25 years. I am working full time at a different position using the skills I honed at my last job in the last 7 years. I love my job and the lack of stress and freedom I have at my new position is amazing. I no longer worry about all the things I have to do at work on any given day. My boss, like Brian, gets it and I am so blessed I love how the story was about Rob but also about his relationship with Brian.
New ideas- You could go way way into the futuree- retirement for Brian and maybe Justin- Brian retires but Justin still works. You've already done Brian gets hurt and Justin gets hurt. YOu could do a story about Molly or Jennifer in this verse. You could move forward with the new company. They are doing some amazing things with standing chairs and exoskeletons.
You could always go sci fi and have a cure for SCI ( Spinal Cord injury) and have Brian have to decide if he would go for the cure after having lived his life with SCI for 25+ years
So many ideas - but I jsut lvoe your writing- you could come up with a new universe too.

Thank you! <3 I'm so glad you loved the ending! It was hard not to give it away in my last response to you...ha. I don't know that I'll ever go sci-fi as that isn't my thing, but Kinnected will probably be playing a bigger part in the near future. (Brian really liked that exoskeleton ;)) I've got Gus coming up next, then Justin (and some new developments for Brian), Cynthia, then back to Brian I think (with new developments for Justin). Jennifer is definitely on my radar. I'll have to think about Molly -- that could be interesting!

I thought he had MS. Fatigue and numbness are both symptoms
Author's Response:
Ah, that would have been an interesting direction to go, wouldn’t it?

Great update. So glad that Rob has joined with Brian. They will be unstopable. Wonderful writing.
Author's Response:
Thank you! I'm looking forward to writing them working together! I have a few other things planned first, but then some things will be happening at Kinnected!

Beautiful story, I love this verse. Please continue writing.

Thank you so much! <3 I plan to continue writing for as long as I stay inspired to do so! :) Thanks for reading!

Wow, what an emotional chapter. Your writing is amazing getting the readers to feel all the things that Rob was feeling. Wonderful, just wonderful.
Author's Response:
Thank you so much! I love reading emotive stories, and it means a lot to hear that mine are coming across that way as well!

Oh that is good news now he needs to go work for Brian lol
Author's Response:
He’s definitely had a bit of a wake up call here... ;)

Great chapter. I can feel the angst and the love from all the characters. You do a great job of shattering the thoughts and feelings of the characters.
Author's Response:
Thank you! <3 This story was super interesting to write and the fast pace and high angst, and the immediacy that comes from writing in present tense, together with the intimacy of first person.

The news is not good, but as long as he has Adam and the girls things will be ok
Author's Response:
Yes, he has his family to help him get through this! <3 Support is such a huge help in dealing with something like this.

Awesome chapter demonstrating the deep scared feelings Rob and Adam have. But we also saw love Adams assertion that they are a team and will face anything together. Brian’s calm ‘fuck it we will work around it’ persona was what Rob needed at that time. Loving Rob in his own way
Author's Response:
Thank you! That was part of what I wanted to portray in this story -- more of Adam...his personality, his attitude on their partnership, and the way he cares for his husband. I feel like the "fuck it, we'll work around it" is so Brian...he'll do anything for a friend. And he'll especially do anything for Rob at this point in their lives and friendship. So glad you enjoyed the chapter. <3

Great update. Really love that this is Rob's story with Brian there for him. These characters are a terrific addition to the story of Brian and Justin. Wonderful writing.
Author's Response:
Thank you! I love hearing that you all are enjoying hearing some of Rob's story as much as we all love hearing about Brian and Justin. I thought it would be interesting to flip the script and have Brian being Rob's support for a little bit. (And we're setting something up for later too!)

You like to torture your readers. Great chapter. Not what I thought was wrong. Still very scary. I know Brian will help him.
Author's Response:
I like to read intense stories, and I like to write them as well. ;) I'm really not trying to torture the reader, unless you're like me and you like it...lol. I'm curious what you thought it was though? :)

Tissue box chapter. Wow, terrific writing, but it must have been very emotional to write. So glad he and Brian have each other.
Author's Response:
Thank you! It was pretty intense to write because I like to put myself in the character's headspace...pretty challenging with something like this. I'm glad it turned out well though!

Wow. That was a shocker. Not surprising that Brian would be the one he turns to, since he is probably the one who would understand.
Author's Response:
Exactly...Brian gets this on a level few other people will. But Rob has a great support system in Adam as well as Brian.

Fantastic writing. Time to take Brian up on the job offer. I realize one thing I love about this story is that it is wonderful even when Brian and Justin are not the center of the story.
Author's Response:
Thank you so much! That really means a lot to hear! I know we're all here for Brian and Justin, but I love Rob and Adam too. ;) Glad some of you guys do as well!

I'm glad that there isn't anything wrong, but I think something's got to give and it looks like his job is going to be the thing that does. I can't wait to see his employer lose business because the thought they didn't need him.
Author's Response:
Something is definitely going to have to give, but Rob is stubborn and very dedicated.

What a great chapter. When I read the very first chapter in this saga, I was so upset and sad that Brian had the accident, but with each chapter through the stories, I see that this is real life and how some people have to live it and you write it perfectly. Like they say "when life gives you lemons, make lemonade" and that is how I see it. Thank you for continuing their story. Even though Rob and Adam were not series characters, it feels like they have always been a part of Brian and Justin.
Author's Response:
Thank you <3 I'm glad you have stuck with me all of this time! Some lemonade has definitely been made over the course of these two stories. Also, thanks for indulging me and letting me get a little more backstory down for Rob and Adam as we bring them into the future alongside Brian and Justin.
