Welcome! We're thrilled that you're reading our story. :)

BOB is one of our most popular original characters. :P

Thanks for all the lovely compliments - and for taking the time to leave a review. :) Comments are the best motivator ever.

Happy New Year! :)

Thanks for sticking with us, Claire! :) We're glad you liked our Christmas present. Five months of writing 'condensed' into one chapter, lol.

Our toppy blond definitely got the last word, this time anyhow. :D

Is it possible to teach Michael manners? I (Karynn) cracked up when I read YumYumPM's comment - that Gus has better manners.

BOB is quite the original character. :P We were saddened to have him meet his demise.

We always like to hear favorite moments and quotes - thanks for sharing yours. :) Looks like Dr Dave is giving Sheldon Cooper some competition. :D

We're chuffed that we made you laugh at Brian and Emmett's repartee. :D

The boys are getting closer; they're actually kissing in every chapter. Let's hope that doesn't change...

"This Bob crap is confusing," Brian complains. "Could you give me a clue as to who that Bob fucker is? It's bad enough having to contend with that Podrick-Edrick-Garrick twit."

Thanks for commenting, Navneet. :)

We may have sent our readers into shock by posting so soon. :D We suspect some haven't even realized there's a new chapter. :D

Ben is lovely with the way he defends Ted. And we expect he'll adjust to the snarky dynamic between Brian and Ted soon enough.

Hmm, maybe Brian will hear about those sexy blue briefs via the gay grapevine... What will happen then? More jealous, possessive Brian? More opportunities for Emmett to rib him?

Thanks for reviewing, Marie-france. :)

~ KaBrynn

We're confident that Ben will get the hang of navigating the friendship between Brian and Ted. :) We're enjoying Brian being all snarky on Ted's behalf; we find it much more entertaining than the way Brian interfered in David and Michael's relationship in canon.

Poor Brian... still scrambling to figure out who Bob is. :D At least he got to heap some sarcasm onto Garrick-Derrick-Podrick-Edrick. Eric was actually pretty darned brave, the way he stood up to Brian. No question he would like more than a friendship with Justin, but we'll have to see if he pushes that or not...

If any of Brian's burgled goods do show up at Second Hand Job, it's unlikely that Marvella would be a knowing fence. She wouldn't want to damage her standing as a reputable businesswoman.

Brian's always complaining about the 'motor oil' they serve the diner, so it kinda served him right that he got Wen's coffee. :P "It's really irritating," he complains, "the way all his friends are on to him. When did they stop being clueless clucks?"

There will probably be another opportunity for Brian to ogle Justin in his new briefs. Or maybe he'll hear about it through the grapevine... You're right that he most definitely did enjoy his evening, though - brought to him courtesy of Brynn. :D

Thanks for all the comments, Sherry!

Did brash Sydney slip a bill under the band of Justin's tighty-whities? :D The blond boy needs to share the details. :D

You wouldn't want a story without any angst, right? Hobbs provides it in spades. We can't predict what he'll do next, now that his status as a macho jock has been threatened. 

Michael does show his good side occasionally. :) Maybe he's starting to be a protective older brother toward Justin? Okay, that may be stretching things a bit too far. :P

If - when? - Brian succeeds in seducing the blond, matters may not proceed exactly as he expects. After all, Justin has grown to enjoy his independence.

"The kid has no appreciation for fashion," Brian gripes, "and I'm not about to waste my money on off-brand crap. A computer on the other hand..."

Thanks for reviewing, Karla! :)

What a wonderful review, Kerri! 

Aw, Dixon has replaced Michael in your affections. :D Since our idea for revenge on Dickhead was partly inspired by you, we'll offer you the opportunity to help take him down a peg. Sort of a personal sneak peek way ahead in our story. Interested?

We're chuffed that the business-building details are of interest to our readers; it's a bit of a challenge not to veer into dullsville territory. Karynn's personal experience with computers at the end of the twentieth century came in handy. Age rules! :P

Ben's a clever fellow - he's got the man he wants. For some reason, there's no contest between Ted and Michael in his estimation. LOL

At least the boys have progressed to kisses, even if they are rather poignant, with Justin and Brian not quite syncing communication-wise just yet.

Sydney is giving both Dixon and Hobbs fits. :) Neither man stands a chance against the blonde cheerleader. 

* squishing you back *

Wen has the expectation that Perkins will keep his faculty under control. She hasn't encountered Dixon yet, but she might if she has to pay another visit to St James. Dickhead had better watch out! :D

We're made up that you like Origami Girl. Not only is she a bit of a loner, though; she's also a few years younger than the others, so she wouldn't necessarily fit into a group with the other girls and Justin.

Thanks for being such a faithful reader and reviewer, Marie-france. We hope to have a new chapter up soon. :)

~ KaBrynn

Thanks for making us laugh, Glo. :D

The only surprising thing is that Justin waited this long to play detective. :D "Police business," Wen says curtly, slamming closed the file you're trying to peek into.

Um, yeah? :P One day per chapter has been the plan all along, although we recently skipped over an entire day. We can disclose that there's just one more week of school until the holiday break, if that helps. :)

Ew! Who would want to fuck Dixon? Oh, wait... there's always Hobbs.

St James might win the prize for the most inedible cafeteria food in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. 

Why are we not surprised that you've jumped on the bandwagon with Emmett?

Are we the only ones supplying B/J porn? :P We can't tell you when the boys will stop dancing around each other and have real-time sex; what would be the fun in that? 

~ KaBrynn

Thanks for another lovely review and again being the first to comment, Phyllis. :)

It's a safe bet that you'll see more of Origami Girl and her creations. 

Dixon hasn't yet had the pleasure of meeting Wen, since she's only had a 'mild' conversation with Perkins. :D We'll see if the maths teacher fares any better if he does encounter the scary detective.

It's difficult not to worry about Hobbs, right? We're trying to keep the bullying jock under control, but he's so unpredictable, especially now that his masculinity has been threatened.

Teddy is full of surprises. <3

We should find out soon if you're right about Vic and BOB. That really tells you a lot, doesn't it? :P

~ KaBrynn

We're made up that you enjoyed Justin's dream. Our computers were smoking as we wrote that scene. :D

We're all searching for BOB... come out, come out, wherever you are.

Thanks for reviewing, Marie-france! A teaser for the next chapter will be available soon in the FanDoc.

~ KaBrynn

Brian recovered nicely from his breakfast with Lindsay and was pleasantly surprised to be entrusted with babysitting his son. Plus, he now has another arrow in his arsenal as he works to seduce Justin. :D He knows the blond can't resist Gus.

We'll have to see how Ted deals with Michael; the repercussions of his pass at Ben could be long-lasting.

Brynn takes a bow for Emmett's question to Brian and Ted. :D Brian is still deeply offended by the notion.

:D Brian and Justin clearly aren't the only ones feeling the sexual tension. :D Did your computer start steaming while you were reading?

Justin's not ready to concede yet - BOB to the rescue! or not, depending on how you look at it. :P

Thanks for making us laugh with your review, Glo. :) We're working steadily on the next chapter and should be posting a teaser soon.
