Oh man, that was so good. But ending the chapter like that... Naughty author! LOL

I love suspense stories, you got my gears turning. What's going to happen. A little drama here,a little whump there, some action mixed in. Who doesn't love that?

How shall I sleep now? Hehe... Great update, I feel anxious for the next chapter. But will be guessing what's next until then. You are awesome!

Author's Response: I'm back!! So sorry to have kept you waiting so long for this update; this pesky thing known as real life keeps getting in the way of my ability to write. I hope that you'll be able to forgive me and that you were able to get some sleep!! HAHA Ooooooops!!

Oh Kevin... I wonder where Brian gets being an idiot since, you know, you are cousins! lol Because who has been in coma for two days after getting out when he wasn't supposed to? Who? (Brian is probably going to join you soon. Hopefully XD)
XD I mean, I love all five of you but... there is a tight competion for winning the prize of biggest idiot ever.
Can I kick Howie? XD Please? XD He's acting like a spoiled brat. And, seriously, if we are talking about trust, let's remember who didn't stick up with Brian during his heart problems. I don't think anyone of them should throw around the word trust and going back their backs. U.U (I'm sorry but I will never forgive them for that. And that's the same reason why Leighanne has an infinite credit with me (aka, she can do and say whatever she wants XD) And I know I'm in the minority because lots of people tend to blame her for everything.

End note: I still think and I'm more convinced that Agent Adams is involved somehow.

Author's Response: Infinite credit eh?? Wow!! I suppose that she DID do a good thing by convincing him to have the surgery. I don't know if I could give her that much credit though. HAHA! :P I like how you have it in for poor Agent Adams. He's just a bit sullen that's all ... I'm hoping to have the next update out soon, so you can see what happens. Maybe it's time for Brian to get hurt ... maybe ... I haven't decided yet. *Evil Laugh*

LOL, I love Kevin's thoughts as he wakes up, Brian is being an idiot? Yet, Kevin left the hotel without security when there is a crazy stalker that's after them. What's that saying, it's like the kettle calling the pot black?

Also loving the I love Lucy reference, brilliant. I love Kevin blowing up hehe. He insults everyone. No one is left unmarred.
Yikes to Howie though, dude, get over it.

Well if the tour must go on, sounds good to me. I just wonder how Ashley is going to continue with her fiction, and what will inspire the stalker. It's all very exciting!

Weighing in on the different bromances, in my opinion.... Any combo that has Brian in it, works quite well for me. Yes, guilty of being a Brian girl myself. Yay to all of the Brian fans and having an author to write fiction with our star as the main character. You are a pretty equal opportunist as you really let the spotlight shine on all of the guys though, I believe.

I am ready and waiting for your next post, keep up the great work.

Author's Response: We all know that Kevin never believes that he's done anything wrong!! HAHA If anything, Kevin is always fair so of course he had to insult everyone. :P I have to agree that any combination with Brian is good in my books. Although, I don't really like the Howie and Brian pairing ... does anyone even write that anyways?? LOL Thanks for the kind words. I hope to have the next update out soon. :)

Aw, it's not Brian's fault that he is so amazing.... He was just born that way.
Jealousy, envy, is amazing, makes one irrational. Can't help what you feel sometimes.
I can't wait to find out what's up your sleeve for the next update. Oh the suspense!

Author's Response: OMG!! Now I have that Lady Gaga song stuck in my head!! "Born this way ..." Dammit!! LOL Yes, Brian is amazing and everyone knows it!! :) Howie is just going to suck it up and move on. Oooops was that harsh?? The next update is on the way soon!

I've been following this story from the beginning, sorry it's taken me this long to review (I'm a bad reader when it comes to reviewing). I always get excited when I see an update from you. Normally I just skip over Nick stories (I know... It's like 3/4 of the fandom right there), but yours caught my eye. I enjoyed the last story from you and saw this was a suspense, so I decided to give it a try and have been hooked ever since.

I think you do a good job of writing from each guy's perspective and although this story seems to focus more on Brian and Nick, you don't really leave anyone out.

Personally, I hope AJ wins the best friend battle. I know Frick and Frack came first, but I think A-Rok is better. I just like that dynamic a lot more. Howie needs to get over his resentment of Brian, Kevin needs to wake up and knock some sense into everyone, and Brian needs to get stabbed(why do we like reading about our favorites getting hurt?).
Looking forward to your next update.

Author's Response: Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment!! I always like to hear what people are thinking. It's nice to know that you liked Dodging the Daylight and that you decided to give this one a chance as well. I'm not really a huge Nick fan myself (I'm a Brian girl ... as if you couldn't tell!! HAHA) and although Nick is featured in the summary this isn't a true Nick story. Maybe I should have specified that ... OOOOPS! Although, knowing this fandom, that probably would have stopped a lot of people from clicking on the link. I actually can't decide if I like Frick and Frack more than A-Rok. It's kind of a tie for me. However, I DO think that there is something extra sweet about the whole Brian and AJ dynamic. I still don't know who's going to win the battle. I'll just have to see where the story takes me! You're the third person to comment that you're excited for Brian to get hurt. The poor guy!! LOL

I feel like I should be sorry for Howie: being replaced, and knowing it, isn't really a good thing. Although... well, Howie, you should have known it. So, although I feel sorry for Howie, I actually screamed when Nick said "my best friend". *__*
(And, really, Howie: it's not Brian's fault. I'm pretty sure there is someone, out there, who would love to be your best friend. But it's not Nick. Nick is Brian's. U.U)

So........... my wish is going to come true? I'll get to see (read) Brian getting hurt? *Is it bad that I'm actually dancing and jumping around? lol*
Oh, also... it kinda sturck me the line of Brian wanting a drink.

Rambling aside, I really want to thank you for keeping writing despite the lack of readers. You're really good and your plot is really amazing and interesting. Yes, we Brian's writer might be few but, just like Brian, we are very stubborn. Because, as you said, what really matters is that we love what we write. And that's the very first thing. I might write a genre that really few people love but I love writing slash. ;)
Plus, not everyone can appreciate perfection. XD

Ps: Howie... I know it sucked but you have to admit that Brian had to be the lead singer. LOL Sorry XD

Author's Response: Poor Howie! Although, I have to agree with you in the sense that I didn't really feel all that sorry for him. I don't enjoy the Howie and Nick pairing ... even though it may be the case in real life. If I didn't write what I wanted to then I wouldn't bother writing at all. I have to give you kudos for writing slash as I know that it is a genre that people either love or hate. I can imagine that some people who don't appreciate it can also leave you some pretty harsh feedback that is probably very unwarranted. Anyways, I'm glad that you're appreciating my writing and I think others are as well based on the read count that this story is receiving. Finally, if Howie were the lead singer I'm not sure that I would be as big of a fan as I am. It was Brian's voice that made me a fan in the first place ... his smile also helped!! HAHA

Date: 07/01/15 04:09 pm Title: Chapter 20: Reality Bites

Seriously, Brian, sometimes I really wonder if being with Nick lowers your IQ. Of course Kevin wasn't going to wake up only because the chapter of an invented work or fiction said so. *pats his head*
I really wanted to see (well, read) Kevin's reaction if he had been awake and hear Brian and Nick's "explanation". LOL That would have been so funny. I mean, we know that it's true but I can see why both Howie and Aj would react that way.
Now, I've worked out an explanation why everyone always stand by Brian's side. See, in reality Brian is really an alien (that's why Nick loves him so much. lol) and one of his powers is to naturally attract people. Cause, seriously, who can stay mad at that mad? Who wouldn't want to stay or being friend with him? U.U
I'm starting to think that the FBI has something to do with all this situation. 'Cause he's too much of a dick. XD


P.S. Nick has to win. lol Him being Frack is the only reason why I like him. lol As much as I do love Arok, Frick and Frack never go out of style. U.U
As for my desire of Brian getting hurt. Well, since he's my favorite I kinda like torture him. lol Plus, given everything that he's been through during his life, it's kinda interesting to test him, see what else he can brush off. He's such an amazing and interesting character that I'm always buffled by the fact that no one actually see it. XD

Author's Response: Yes, I'm also a bit confused as to why there are not more Brian-centred stories. I think it's pretty safe to say that he's the "second favourite" (with Nick being number one) in the fandom. Perhaps, Brian fans just don't do the whole fan fiction thing. (Although I don't really have an explanation as to why they wouldn't write just as much as Nick fans would). I also think that as a new writer, if you're not writing Nick-centred fic then it would be harder to attract readers. So, that might cause some people who would really like to write about Brian to write more about Nick just so that they will be given a chance. I'm sure the fact that Brian figures so prominently in my group stories turns some people off, but I just write what I want. :P That being said, I wouldn't be totally devastated if AJ were to come out on top as far as the "best friend" situation is concerned. I find A-Rok to be just as cute as Frick and Frack. LOL

Dang now they all know!! Well, with the exception to Kevin. Most all of them know about Ashley now, yikes. Oh btw, thanks for not making me sweat it out too much. 😁
So someone is depending on her "fiction" in order to make their own non-fiction? Things just got a little more complicated. Hehe, love it tho. Howie does seem to be an outsider looking in at times. But he's mostly that quiet guy that lends a shoulder to cry on, or gives some much needed advice. He doesn't need the glory, I'm sure. I'd say he's the wise one. Kevin is too, but he's more of a make peace not war type, ya know. Howie seems more of a neutral party.... LOL ok, random. But just my opinion. Looking forward to the next update. d84;

Author's Response: I agree with your assessment of both Howie and Kevin. However, I often wonder if Howie would like to share in some of the glory. I mean, he's one of the original members of the group ... he must want SOME recognition. The poor guy always gets shoved to the back. I'm willing to bet that one of these days he's going to lose his mind and just go off on everyone!! Haha (I would totally want to be a fly on the wall if that ever happened).

And for the epic battle between Nick and Aj for the title of Brian's best friend, Nick is leading! LOL
I love the fact that it's Nick the one, somehow (well, not really somehow but A LOT) jealous over Brian's friendship. Because usually, in the fandom, people only write about Nick and Howie's being closer and Brian feeling left out. So thank you for this!

Now, Brian... it's not that easy. It's not that if she writes about Kevin being okay, then he will be okay. He's in ICU, for God's sake. lol

And my criminal mind is already spinning with the information about Brian getting stabbed (plus I wrote something in which he got stabbed XD) because there are so many possibilities... oops?
(No, Ashely. Not every readers love when something bad happen to Nick. XD I'm actually tired of this thing. It's time for Brian to get hurt. LOL Wait, I'm not joking. U.U)

Author's Response: Yes, Nick is leading for now, but will AJ win out in the end?? You will just have to wait and see!! HAHA! There is currnetly a lot being written about the whole Nick, Howie, Brian triangle, and I will explore that dynamic a little bit. However, I intend to do that more from Howie's perspective. So, we will have to see how that all turns out. :P I'm kinda in love with the fact that you want Brian to get maimed! Too funny!! Perhaps you will get your wish ... you will have to keep reading in order to find out. :)

Hi! Super updates! Yay 😊 just to let you know, no, I would never give up on you or your stories. It could take you ten years to update, and I'd still be super pumped to see your user on the most recent page.
I'm thinking that her next posting is not going to work or maybe they've somehow disrupted the flow/timeline. Hmm, I'm definitely excited to see if Kevin will still actually wake up. A stabbing and shooting?? My oh my. This is where I think the timeline or prediction will be changed. Just a guess. Hehe. I'm stuck with wondering what will happen now. Keep up the great work. You are the best.

Author's Response: Haha - it better never take me ten years to post an update!! Although, with the amount of stuff that I have going on at the moment, I wouldn't be too surprised if it did. :P I like that you're guessing now ... I think that I will make you sweat and draw things out for a little while. LOL Thanks for taking the time to comment (again)!!

First of all, of course I'm still reading. I wanna know the master plan of this evil plot to kill each Backstreet Boys. LOL When it comes to reading, I'm like a dog: I wait, loyal and faithful.
(that means that you're not gonna get rid of me and my ramblings, ehm, comments. XD)

Second. Sorry but my shipper heart melt when Howie said that as long as brian and Nick have each other no one else matters. #MyBabiesAreSoCute

Third.
I kinda feel bad for Howie. Cause I tend to forget about him so many times and it mustn't be a good feeling. *pats Howie's head* Maybe this time you're gonna be the hero who saves everyone? lol

Fourth.
Aj and his "I'm Brian's best friend and he's gonna answer him". I'm predicting an epic battle between Aj and Nick for the title of "Brian's best friend". #EveryoneLovesBrianEvenWhenHesADick

Author's Response: Well, I'm definitely glad that you're going to stick with the story. I love reading your "ramblings"! LOL Poor Howie ... so many people do seem to forget about him. I'm actually guilty of that as well. It's not that I don't like him, it's just that I don't know that much about him. He's so quiet and reserved. I feel like there's a lot about Howie that he doesn't share with the public. I would pay good money to see AJ and Nick fight over Brian!! Haha Is that wrong?? LOL

I knew it was too simple and easy! lol Though my first guess was that they woukdn't find anyone at that address or that it would only be a coffee shop XD So someone is using that fanfiction to get some sort of reveng out of the Boys? I'm still betting on Lou XD

And, I'm sorry but... Nick talking about dieting is so funny! XD

Author's Response: Ugh Lou!! Even thinking about that creep makes me shudder!! Nick has been looking good recently ... I bet it's Lauren's influence and the fact that she manages to keep him on a diet. LOL Although, I did't think that he looked bad when he was heavier. :P On an unrelated note, I'm sorry that it's taken me so long to update this. I've been super busy! I hope you're still reading. :)

Ooh, they found her. She seems innocent to me. Will Ashley be joining in on their adventure now hehe 😁 love the update.

Author's Response: Yes, she does seem innocent doesn't she?? You will have to wait and see if she joins them. :) Sorry for the lack of updates lately. I have been CRAZY busy with real life ... unfortunately. LOL Anyways, I hope that you're going to stick with the story. :)

Date: 05/13/15 08:41 pm Title: Chapter 16: Any Relation to Lance Bass?

First of all, I know it was supposed to be an intense scene but... I couldn't help but laugh while imagining Brian running after Nick. lol And, seriously, how can no one recognize them? LOL
Now, the easier thought would be that Lance Bass is behind everything but I'd love to think that it's just a coincidence.
And Brian and Nick are going to get the prize for most idiot people ever. Yes, let's go all alone though already three of us have been sent to the hospital. Frick and Frack must sharing one brain cell. *pats their heads. At least, you're pretty.*
Is it bad that I can't wait for how Brian is going to end up hurt? XD (I'm a bad llama. XD)

*I've made peace with the fact that not so many people will ever read my stories. And this doesn't stop me for writing. English not being my native language is what slows me down because it takes me forever to translate something. I def use too many words, as you can notice from my reviews. lol*

Author's Response: Errrrr maybe it was just too early in the morning and people weren't awake enough to recognize them?? Haha! I'm glad that I made you laugh! The fact that they're both gorgeous does make up for their lack of thought. It would be too hard to write about them if they were perfect. :P On a side note, I didn't know that English wasn't your first language. I have to say that your grammar and sentence structure is quite good!! You write better then some native English speakers that I know!!

Hi, I apologize for barely reviewing 16 chapters in. Just wanted to leave a few words of encouragement, or maybe more than a few. You have caught my attention with this story. I am curious as to who is writing the fan fiction and if they have anything to do with the misfortune surrounding the guys. Are they behind it all? Or is blueberry completely innocent? I'm scared of what will happen next! There are so many different scenarios running through my head. Keep up the great work, you are awesome,I look forward to the next chapter.

Author's Response: LOL - Thanks so much!! I'm glad that I've got your attention and that I've got you guessing about who might be behind the "accidents". No worries about not reviewing. The fact that you took the time to leave this one really means a lot to me. I know how hard it can be to find the time to get stuff done. I haven't had much time to write or update in a while, but I just posted a new chapter so I hope you have the time to check it out. Thanks again for taking the time to comment! :)
