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.

Congrats on your first long story *g* I happen to really like fic where people invent family and backstory for Pros and I liked your OC Michael and the very (sadly) believable story you had for him and Bodie, growing up with all that prejudice and all the problems it went on to cause. I like that you used Bodie and Doyle's relationship as a positive thing in juxtaposition to the seedier, if not downright horrible side of the world of sex; you clearly wanted to make some points about the sex industry and I think that's an excellent thing. And as a stand-out, the lovely shower scene with Bodie warming Doyle up - really enjoyed that *g*

Art is gorgeous, matches the mood so well and the fanmix has introduced me to a lot of new songs and artists - a great idea for part of the artwork! *g*

Wow, what an amazing review! Thank you so much. I'd always thought I'd seen my fair share of life but I was frankly shocked when I heard Brent Corrigan's story. Somehow I just had to weave a plot around him and wanted to give him the support he's never had in his real life.
And I'm glad you liked the shower scene *g*
