Summary: "Part of life, it seems, is starting over again and again, each time a little smarter than the last." Brent Corrigan.

Notes: A vidder for two stories last year I was so impressed by The Pros Big Bang that I decided to both write and vid in 2011, despite me being a short story writer by preference. So was born my first ever story over 20,000 words which I lovingly dedicate to those who helped and encouraged me. Sabs, Jaicen, Andy, Judes, Rave, Sara and Aldene all gave me their time, support, advice and patience – thank you from the bottom of my heart, guys. And for those of you who have been trying to teach me the dark art of POV – I apologise. I tried, I promise I did. Finally thank you to our amazing Mods and my Artist gblvr. *inserts ‘we are not worthy’ icon here*

In this story I did something I swore I’d never do – I created family. And that leads me to the inspiration for the story; the troubled, much misunderstood and truly divine Brent Corrigan, who I believe is gorgeous both inside and out.

I'm so happy you got your story posted! Yay! I shall read it now that I'm back home and able to find my brain once again. LOL! I've looked at the nice art gblvr did for your story.

(If you ever need POV help, I'm ready to help. I can't write a decent sentence without beating it to a pulp, but I can keep your POV in focus. *bg*)

Thanks ever so much! I don't think I need POV help though, more like POV intensive therapy!

I've had a chance to read and I enjoyed your story. I liked your character Michael very much. It was nice seeing him go from a very unhappy, weepy man to a strong person. I liked that and I liked that he and Bodie (and Doyle) carved out their own relationships now. That was interesting and I can tell you put a lot of work into writing a long story. .

As for the POV, it was a bit of a roller coaster ride. However, that is easily fixed with a bit of guidance. Next time, eh? :)

Thanks for the story and also gblvr's art added to the enjoyment.
