I've decided that I find Brian rather... explosive. Whether it's literally or not, stuff happens when he's around. Like a charm... or a curse.
And I absolutely loved the Thriller bit :)
Author's Response: Brian is a truly dynamic character in this story. He goes through so much and he doesn't really ever get it truly easy.
We love Thriller, do we hide it well?

Author's Response: I know. :( Thanks for the review!

Ohhhhh...wow. So, it took all oft that to make that man come clean. Amazing. But they say that if you bottle up your emotions like that, than you are bound to hurt others. And he did. And of course, I cant go through this and not say just how much I love aj! Hes just so...awesome! Lmao. Great, great chapter ladies!
Author's Response: Thanks so much, Resa! We love AJ too!

haha God I love AJ in this, he cracks me up!!! And Nick putting a move on Riley? Or so that's what it seemed while in the car lmao but Brian...my God. I'm glad he finally came clean, but that was defiantly heartfelt and I feel for him so much =( But saying that about Jo's dead hubby and Gabby's Dad that was a bit harsh...still an amazing chapter :)
Author's Response: Thanks!! We love writing AJ LOL. And yeah, there could be a little something happening between Nick and Riley. ;) The Brian scene was intense to write, and I know he came off as harsh, but hopefully that shows what an emotional wreck he is... he's a different man than he was at the beginning of the story. Thanks, as always, for reading and reviewing - glad you're still liking it! :)

Ahh, I love these updates, even more so that I've waited a while to read them. ;) So, I'm beginning to realize that it's really interesting how you've guys penned AJ in this story. Not like I haven't noticed it before, but yanno AJ's my favorite so I tend to study how people will write him in their stories. Although he scares me at times in this story, I love how you guys have twisted him up. He's a bona fied badass, lmao.
Moving on though, Brian's meltdown was just... amazing, as weird as that may sound, lol. The raw emotion that was depicted in this chapter truly tugs on your heart strings, and I think it's safe to say that we all can sympathize with Brian; where we've had meltdowns and just feel completely lost at times. Brian is such a torn man and a tortured soul in this story, and I also love how you ladies have penned him as well. Great job ladies, keep up the good work! :)
Author's Response: Thanks Reb! I think what we did is exaggerate certain traits of the boys to mold them into these AU characters. Like, we know AJ's not an atheist, etc. in real life, but it was interesting to have him take that perspective in this situation. And with Brian, we did the opposite and exaggerated his religious side even more, making him a minister, and then had him completely fall away from it. Those two are my favorites because they're so opposite, and yet, they kind of have the same outlook on things at this point LOL. I think we kept Nick and Kevin similar to how they are in most fanfics; Howie is the one we took the most liberties with LOL. We were saying the other day, neither of us ever know quite what to do with Howie in fanfics. Usually he's just sort of "there," so in this story and 00Carter, we had to kinda change his personality to make him more interesting. Back to Brian... thank you so much!! I'm glad it didn't seem too over the top or out of character for him to explode like that... I was worried about it, but it was really fun to write at the same time LOL. I don't get to write Brian meltdowns like that very often LOL. Thanks so much for all your comments; I loved this review! :)

I somehow missed this chapter. Loved the beginning, and the sing along was great. AJ using himself as bait was EPIC. And another one bites the dust was very appropriate lol. I am glad that Brian finally opened up and he is still my favorite, I feel so bad for him. Amazing update as usual ladies
Author's Response: Thanks Tracy! He's still my favorite too - glad you liked his part! :)

Copy and pasted from DS :)
The ambulance scene was epic.I thought, wow this chapter is gonna be lighthearted and then...WOW. The part with Brian was powerful. Poor Jo and Gabby but I feel like that had to happen. I love that Jo is so religious with that Catholic background...great way to introduce that discussion. It was awesome. I also love the connection you're making with AJ and Brian. Can't wait to read more!
Author's Response: Thanks Sel! :)
