I re-read Homecoming because it’s been a while, and in re-reading it and then continuing on with this new chapter, I have to compliment you on making it feel so very real, so much what would have happened during the separation, so much loneliness for them both, and the fears that they might be losing each other. You’ve covered all the emotions so well. I was choking up for them going through all that, usually I feel more for Brian – I just gravitate to feeling for him first. But I have to say you wrote Justin’s feelings so beautifully, so I felt equally for them both. I loved the re-union, the morning after, the escape to the house. Once again, I have to say it felt so real, such a real Brian and Justin world – and I loved sharing the happiness that Justin was back with Brian again, where he belonged, and Brian was smiling again.
I found this from Brian very significant… “Finally, we’re in the car, and then we’re gone, and we’re free, and they can’t catch us, can’t judge us, can’t get all over us about why Justin’s back, and whether he should be, and what we’re going to do now. Can’t look at me like they’re telling me I’m holding him back. Can’t make me feel like I’m letting him down. Can’t let me know that I’m the worst thing that could happen to someone who should be out taking the world by the balls.” So much of what they go through has been influenced by the people around them, let’s hope they are left alone this time round.
Thankyou Wren - lovely work, and looking forward to the series.
