And I apologize for commenting so late. I just simply didn't find the time for it until now.
As usual you are painting a beautiful picture in this story. It goes slow like a river always following its path in a steady pace. That speed gives this story a feeling of melancholy. Which is great, but also the biggest challenge. Steady slow pace means there isn't much movement and action.
That makes it challenging to keep the readers attention. You manage to do that by portraying the inner movement of Brian they way you do, lively and realistic. You can identify with what he is going through.
And even tho I am also waiting for the next stroy climax, I am willing to sit on the boat and enjoy the scenery, while the story takes me there.
Author's Response: It's okay, don't worry. =)
Thank you for reading and commenting still.
I don't know if I have already said that I love your reviews!
There's not going to be so much action or movement in this story, after all it just paints how someone can try and, maybe, manage to get back on his feet after he loses something and someone so important in his life. It's life, after all, and most of the time it's just a little bit boring (well, at least my life is so boring lol). But there is going to be some climax, especially towards the end and we are not that far away from that. Hoope you'll still there for the ride! =)

Your story has moved me so much. I feel like I am inside Brian, feeling every emotion he feels as he goes through each stage of grief. He was so desperately in pain and I could feel him sliding into a deeper and deeper abyss until he hit bottom, trying to end his life. From that point on, it seems to me that he has been clawing his way out of the darkness and trying to find the light of life. He is seeing glimpses of it, but it gets covered up with grief again and again. I hope he sees more and more light and sunshine and less darkness and pain, as he tries to move on with a life without his love. I admire how well you write and then translate into English . . . that must be so difficult and tedious. Thank you for all the work you do. I appreciate that you write Brian stories, as there are not nearly enough of those being written. Thank you so very much!
Author's Response: No, thank you so much for your words! *__*
First, I agree with you. There's a serious and sad lack of Brian's stories in this fandom. =( And yes, translating can be a little bit difficult and, sometimes, boring but it's so worth if it means that people not only can read but can understand and get my words. *__* Sometimes I struggle, yes, but sooner or later I'm gonna have up all of my stories. I don't give up so easily.
As for the story, that is my goal: showing how Brian can go through totally being shattered and covered with pain to being able to live and, hopefully, be happy even without Nick by his side. Yes, there will be more light and hope for Brian in the next chapter, though the downs are still waiting in the corner. But that's life, no?
Again, thank you so much for your words. *__* They meant the world.
