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.

Congratulations on such a huge baby! I'm really looking forward to reading it, thank you.

This is where I relax and put my feet up, isn't it? So why am I pacing the floor and biting my nails?!

Massive congrats on posting luv, can't wait to read and this weekend the story will be mine :D.

[inlovewithboth.livejournal.com]

It was easier than I thought it was going to be, thanks to those wonderful codes!

[merentha13.livejournal.com]

Nicely done! I love stories that delve into possible pasts for the lads. We learn a lot about Bodie's and even get a little hint of Ray's. The characters were well drawn and very believable. Terrific story!

The artwork is beautiful and fits so well. A wonderful job by both of you! (and please feel welcome to join those of us who are sitting back and enjoying being finished. It does feel good, doesn't it! *g*)

[inlovewithboth.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much, I'm chuffed you liked it! Oh yes, this is a lovely feeling *puts feet up and eats another chocolate*

[bodiecuddle.livejournal.com]

As being the partner of merentha!!! Sitting back is a great feeling.. *crabs for another chocolate *LOL* ), now it was your turn. Ohh I know you have a job to go!!!! )

Wonderful story mate. I love it and you gave the characters a life... So well done.. and Bodie is so...*sigh* Thanks!!!

[inlovewithboth.livejournal.com]

I made you sigh - my work here is done :)

It's a pity about the POV problem because it does rather stand out. Never mind, there's always hope for next time. Congratulations on finishing your story.

Thank you for your lovely comments!

****Slight Spoiler****

Just finished a marathon effort before I have to head off to work! Great plot with so much of your personality in it. I loved the motorbike scene with Doyle following, such a great security innovation and I can just see Doyle expertly weaving his way through traffic keeping Bodie and his brother safe and becoming sodden in the process. Had a chuckle at the suspension on the Capri and the women waiting for autographs...I wonder where those observations came from? *g*

Clever dilemma for Bodie, Doyle or his brother??? He would have to had a hard time with that. I enjoyed the action and the h/c. Both in slings at the end!

Kick back now matey and relax, you've earned it.

OK, it's finally up, you can stop the stressing. Well done on such a long story, I know that you prefer to write shorter ones and writing a long one can take an awful lot of patience and time. There is such a lot of you in this story, little things that those in the know will pick up and smile at. have a whole box of choccies mate, you deserve it

[inlovewithboth.livejournal.com]

*blushing and checking out the second layer* thanks mate, you've been such a help on this. You need a gold star for patience.

[inlovewithboth.livejournal.com]

I know *bangs head on desk* I tried writing and re-writing and got myself in such a pickle. Next time I'll be clearer from the beginning, rather than just writing from the heart and then trying to change it.

[inlovewithboth.livejournal.com]

Did you spot yourself in the crowd at the stage door?! LOL!! That scene is just a couple of lines long, I wondered if anyone would even spot it. Just goes to show, eh?!!

[inlovewithboth.livejournal.com]

BTW, I'm very keen to learn - would you mind giving me an example of a particular scene where the POV jars for you?

[kiwisue.livejournal.com]

have sent you a message.

[cloudless-9193.livejournal.com]

I've read the first few lines, and I really like your style. So it's already on my iPad waiting for me. :-)
Very nice artwork, too. I love the colors and the font!

[inlovewithboth.livejournal.com]
