Hi, I ran across this story and remembered how much I loved it. I was so sad it never got finished :( Is there a chance you will ever come back to it?

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.

I was wondering what you'd do about Leighanne being in the video! I really liked this one, with Nick trying to help out and being all brotherly. Aww Frick and Frack. And Ugh, Lou, giving Jane the money to keep quiet. And Ugh, Jane, accepting it! I suppose their family actually does need the money, but still. Maybe if their family needs the money so much she should put another one of her sons into the pop music business? Oh wait..

Anyway I really enjoyed Leighanne being at the shoot and the comments from all the guys. I liked how Brian and Leighanne both corrected Nick at the same time, showing how they're still in sync with each other, even if they're broken up now. And I loved, loved, loved the last line. It's true - Brian isn't fighting for her. He's not even fighting for himself. So many tears.

Wow.

K first of all I need to point out that August 20 1998 is the first time I ever saw BSB, so Brian can't have his surgery on that date as there's a twelve year old red head in Winnipeg dying to see him. :P

I know that this part is where the story began, and then backtracked from but it was so much more powerful after having read all of the lead up to it. Leighanne is so, so in the right that it's not even funny. How is this even a choice for Brian? If the other BSB were just supportive he probably wouldn't even be postponing. But they're not, and it's screwing everything up! EVERYTHING. I liked the part where Nick handed Brian the lamp though, when he said he wasn't done, and I like the double meaning of how he said he wasn't done as well. The end was chilling. This chapter was absolutely fantastic.

NO BRIAN WHAT ARE YOU DOING.

I mean, obviously I knew this was going to happen, but still! How can he think that he isn't an irreplaceable part of BSB? SERIOUSLY? I get it, really, it's hard for him to see the other guys planning on doing gigs without him, but it's honestly the best solution in this situation. Oh and also the guys pressuring him, being like "these are big venues" SO? Brian needs SURGERY. I can't even deal with how completely selfish all of them are! And Brian, the one who needs to be selfish just isn't! And he SHOULD BE. And my heart broke when he said he'd postpone and I ma just so angry with fake Brian and real life Brian because this actually happened and I love Leighanne because she is the one who forced him to go through with it and I love you for writing this amazing story that I always get so wrapped up in.

Yup. *Next*

Sorry I fell so behind! But I'm catching up! I liked this chapter a lot. I enjoyed Nick, Brian and Leighanne going to the museum, and Nick saying he'd be Thor LOL ;) Also - Brian! Delaying your surgery again. I hated how Lou just walked right in and was so smug about it, almost knowing that of course Brian was going to delay once he found out they had the opportunity to shoot the video with that director. Ugh. He's so slimey. The guy's reactions to Brian's news were perfect too, I liked how you put in that Kevin dealt with stress by taking charge. I think that's really true. Great chapter, Hannah! :)

OMG! You don't know how happy I am to see an update! :D Weeeeeeeeee.

And great update it is. Finally Kevin called! Ugh, so harsh, and they're family! Brian's a big man to forgive him. I don't know if I ever could if I was in that situation.

Look forward to what you write next. ♥



Author's Response: You don't know how happy I was to have the time to update! LOL I've been moving and really busy lately so it was really a relief to be able to sit down and concentrate on the story enough to actually get a whole chapter out. I'm glad you enjoyed the chapter. I would have a very hard time forgiving in a similar situation, too. Thanks for reading!!!

I was so excited to see an update, yay! Poor Brian. Curious how you are going to play his making up with the other two and starting th law suite and him getting back on the road.



Author's Response: I was excited to finally have time to update! LOL Thanks so much for the review!!! :D

Aww, this was an incredible chapter! You did an amazing job with the description and all the thoughts and fears that ran through Brian's head as he was getting ready to go under. Having never had surgery, I can't imagine how scary that must be, but you captured it well, his whole transition from trying to be brave in front of Leighanne to finally breaking down in tears on the table. Thank goodness this is all a thing of the past and everything turned out okay! :)

Was totally singing the part when Brian proposed.

Now I'm just wondering where you're gonna stop. If only you could go on forever :)

You did an awesome job capturing his fear the last two chapters, but I want to kick all the boys for not coming to the hospital. Poor Brian :( at least he has Leighanne to help him through it, but I'm afraid this is where it all starts with his strained relationship concerning the guys.

It breaks my heart a little every time Brian talks about how he broke down at the last minute before surgery and your version was no different. Good job, way to do Brian's story justice.

Oh gosh. I was waiting and dreading this chap. The hardest part is that, in a way, it happened like that. It happened that Brian was waiting for them to come and they weren't there.
I wasn't that fan in 1998, especially I didn't have internet so I wasn't aware about all the little details of the Boys's lives. So, when I first saw the World Music Awards perfomenace, I was quite crying but then... then you learned and now I can't watch it without being a little pissed off at them. Yes, in a extent, it wasn't all of their faults but they were all old enough to understand that it wasn't a play or a joke. It was a serious operation and... I don't know. I don't know how Brian managed to forgive them and that is one of the multiple reasons why I admire him so much.

No results found.
