Borrowed Time by Pengi Rated: PG-13 [ - ]
Summary:


"Shortly after I was born, the doctors figured out that I was broken. I had a hole in my heart..."


Ever since he was a child, Brian was well aware that he was living on what he's always referred to as "Borrowed Time". He always believed that he'd overcome it, like Batman overcoming darkness. But in 1998, when Brian was on top of the world, the moment came when it all could come crashing down...

I love this fic so much. SO MUCH. Just... apart from the fact that I adore stories from the Boys' rise to fame, and awesome characterizations (so spot on!), and Nick and Brian's relationship, the real clincher is how utterly respectfully you portray Leighanne (so supportive and not a caricature but simply someone who Brian would actually love)... It's been a while since the last update but I'm clinging onto hope that you haven't completely abandoned this story.

When We Collide by freedomwriter Rated: G [ - ]
Summary:

A bumpy busride on a stormy cold night is often not a good idea. After a fateful, explosive collision, four Backstreet Boys are left stranded, struggling to get back to civilization and wondering where their fifth member has gone.

Yay, Howie taking charge! I love his perspective on Nick and what he'll do when faced with serious problems. Can't wait to see what happens when they get to the hospital.

Oh man, I'm kind of getting worried for Howie and Kevin. Feels like it's not going to be that easy, y'know? Even though I kind of wish they'll find help as soon as possible.

I'm loving this story so far. I have a certain fondness for bus crash fics (I think it's the nostalgic value - they were all the rage when I began reading fic back in 2001), and when they're this well written? And full of Brian whump? That's just the icing on the cake! Looking forward to reading the rest!

I am so glad that Nick finally caught up with the others (well, two of them), and that Howie and Kevin finally got some help. Can't wait to see what Nick's connection to Brian is all about.

Oh, wow, I don't know who's going to be more traumatized by this whole thing: Brian (if he survives) or AJ. I'm so glad AJ manages to reject the lure of one last drink, and yay for rescue finally arriving!

Author's Response: thanks for reviewing! AJ probably, I don't think Brian would remember half of it. To the rescue!

...I'd kind of remained hopeful that Brian would get to keep his leg, but I guess that chance was pretty slim. I'm kind of sitting here shuddering at the thought of the whole situation.

I love the random closet BSB fan in the emergency room! It takes my mind off the fact that Brian keeps coding - you're not going to kill him off, are you?! I need him to live and get a fancy prosthetic leg and spend soundchecks making lame jokes about being a cyborg!

I love how, just when you think Nick's gotten away scot-free, bam! psychic connection to Brian! None of the Boys are going to make it through this unscathed, are they? Can't wait to see what the connection thing's all about.

Author's Response: haha, no, everyone gets their share :)

Wow, this is brutal! Poor AJ! I hope he'll seek comfort from his support system and not from old habits.

And the thought just struck me that if there's a connection between Nick and Brian, how will Nick be affected if Brian dies? It depends on how deep the connection is, but from what we've seen so far... Interesting.

...You really scared me with that chapter title. I hope the rest of the Boys will realize that Kevin made the call he did in order to save Brian's life. I'm guessing/crossing my fingers that Leighanne will be thankful for it (?) so at least that's a start.

Nooooo... Not a cliffhanger! I really need the next chapter now. *grabby hands*

Author's Response: just you wait XD

Oh my gosh this answered none of my questions but I still enjoyed it immensely! That Brian let the wall down and reached for Nick was great, but I don't know what to make of the fact that everything faded out as soon as they touched... I'm going to remain tentatively positive.

You are totally stalling, and it's kind of killing me over here! Great to get Leighanne's POV; I liked all the little details (researching complications ahead of Brian's surgery, not saying goodbye, telling him not to be so reckless on stage...).

Date: 10/14/14 Title: Chapter 23: 23. Try

...I am so relieved, you wouldn't belive! I love how you managed to convey Brian's disorientation and confusion in the text, and I specifically adored the line "Brian didn’t recognize AJ" for some reason. Also glad Kevin's getting some support - hopefully AJ won't hold his decision against him too long.
