I loved this chapter, lots of comic relief! Like you said in your reply to one of my last reviews, the fact that you alternate between past and present keeps it a little lighter, even though we know what's coming. I cracked up at some of Kevin's thoughts, like when he compared Nick to a baboon and AJ to a Jewish grandmother LOL. You nailed all of them. Nice foreshadowing, too!

Author's Response:

Hehe, thanks. I love writing from Kevin's point of view, especially back then because I can only imagine what went on I. His head being thrown into a situation where some of his vo-workers were actually children. Considering his intense personality, I can imagine how rough that was for him lol

I was smiling as I was reading that chapter Mare. I loved how AJ kept whining about everything and was doing Kevin's head in, lol.

Yeah, they better enjoy every moment because it'll all be over soon enough :(

Can't wait for more!!

Author's Response:

Thanks Steph lol I always enjoy writing them when they are happy and together. You're right though, as we know bad times are ahead.

It's Wednesday, I was looking forward to two things all day: an update for this story and the next episode of "Top Chef."  Kevin has always been my favorite Boy.  At times, in this update, he sounds cynical...but I think he's being realistic.  I love the insight into Kevin's relationship with Nick and AJ.  When reading Kevin's description of AJ's glasses, I thought would Kevin know what a bedazzler was?  And then I thought, of course, any man who wears a skirt would know what a beddazler did.  I love the time setting of this story!  Whenever I think "Backstreet Boys," the image which pops into my head is always the scene from "I Want It That Way" when they are walking through the airport.  There's a swagger, confidence, and dare I say, an arrogance about them. It really is the opposite image we find in the "future" of this story of this worried, scared young men in tattered clothes. 

Again, great update Mare.

I LOVE Top Chef!! lol I actually came here real quick before it starts! I so want Richard to win this time around, although I admit that i love almost all of the people left, minus annoying Mike and i'm kind of eh? About Dale lol I agree with you about the BSB's it's funny because I always go back to this time for them as well and I agree, I think this was when they were all kind of taking their fame for granted. I really think back then Kevin was very cynical and not always that inclined to hang around the younger members of the group. I miss him which is why I wanted to set this in 99. Thanks for the feedback Pammy! :O)

I loved this chapter. I love how Kevin was distinguishing between the relationships he has with AJ and Nick. And I think you totally got AJ's personality on point. Not that I know him or anything...LOL. But we all know how dramatic he can be. I cracked up about him bedazzling his sunglasses...and this : "He's weird. They're all weird."

I also loved the foreshadowing at the end and the thoughts abbut AJ drinking the beer.Good stuff! I'm so excited about this story and can't wait for another update. I'm dying to know how the landing goes down!

Author's Response:

aww thanks! I really take that as a compliment because as you know from the MB, I have a hard time with AJ so i'm glad an AJ fan thinks I did a good job capturing his personality. :O) I can see Kevin thinking everyone is weird. lol We're gettign to the landing soon. Thanks for reading Sel!

Well if it helps I'm having fun reading it. Kevin's commentary about AJ and Nick cracked me up. I miss Kevin! Kick him for me will you? LOL.

“I hope there’s shrimp. Me like shrimp!” Do I even have to say who that was?

“If we drown…”

Oh my God, kill me now!


That bit cracked me up SO hard LOL. I love it. I also really enjoyed the bit with AJ being a bit overwhelmed with how big they were getting and the empty beer bottle, with Kevin wondering how many he's had. It's kind of a preview of the path he ends up taking in real life.

Definitely enjoyed it.

Author's Response:

I always kick Kevin so the next one will be for you! I do think that's when AJ started his slow descent, when they got so mega famous. Thanks for the review Rose!

LMAO at AJ being the Jewish grandmother. I loved this chapter, too much to comment on but I love Nick's blondeness too its endearing and cute. Great chapter as always Mare! I wanna know what happened to AJ after the plane crash....gahh

Author's Response:

NO worries, he's next. It wasn't a plane crash, only an emergency landing :O) lol thanks for the comments! I totally see AJ as a Jewish grandmother. And gotta love Nick.
