Justin has truly developed into a quality Dad. It's nice to see that Brian appreciates him.

I hope Gus "talks" to them when they visit him.

Hey now, you didn't eat the turkey so you don't get to claim tryptophan as an excuse for an early bedtime! lol

Thanks for Part B. I agree with chase820 above. Mel & Linds have way too much baggage to raise well-adjusted kids. My biggest gripe (canon & fic) is how openly and vocally contemptuous Mel is about Brian to and/or in front of Gus. And so often, Lindsay just let it happen. Kids are awfully smart; they know when parents are crappy. Doesn't stop them from loving them, but they see pretty clearly, IMO, so there is never, ever any reason to badmouth a parent in front of the child. And Brian's not a crappy parent. Mel is just jealous. *steps off soapbox* :)

Even though it involves the lesbians breaking up again, I have to say I totally love this storyline since it allows Brian and Justin to really shine as father figures. I loved that Brian cut through the gossip-y bits to get right to how Gus is feeling about everything. *warm fuzzies*

The Correspondance redux-esque posts are fabulous as well, they're very organic-feeling and yet still dramatic.

Really kinda off topic, but someone posted a McDreamy pic over in one of the Grey's Anatomy comms that made me think of the guys in the Hamptons. It was McDreamy in jeans & a shirt stadnding on the dunes of beach somewhere.
