Directions, Ch. 7, by Xie...  
This is the seventh chapter of Directions -- the earlier chapters are here.

Thanks to my beta, [livejournal.com profile] testdog65, and to [livejournal.com profile] vlredreign for a final polish!

There is a banner for this story, and it's on its way, but we're having a HUGE storm right now, and I'm kind of worried our power might go out, so I wanted to get this posted before it did.

Thanks to everyone for waiting so patiently while my life fell apart and rebuilt itself, giving me the energy to actually complete this story. And thank you for letting me know you're reading!

*sigh* All's right with the QAF world. Xie's B/J are back. So glad you're still feeling teh love and hope you never tire of writing here; we'll always be here when you get back.

Hope your life is improving one step at a time.

Loved it, as always. No matter what you are writing about, your fics have that special "rhythm" - or let's just say they rock :o). However, I have to reread the chapters before because I start to mix up my favorite series in my head. I told you, once I read I just can't stop.

I'm pretty newish to reading QAF fan fic, though I've been a fan of the show for a few years now. A friend of mine recced "Only Time" to me as the Ultimate Series That You Have To Read, and I just had to comment to tell you that this is one of the absolute best works I've ever read from any fandom. It's so realistic, so true to character, that to me, in the alternate universe where Brian and Justin exist, this is what happened.

I can't wait for more.

And I'm so happy to have found your work. I will now devour everything you've written.

Thank you.

Wow, what wonderful words! And very motivating, as I'm feeling all kinds of obstacles to finishing up this story... mostly, I think, I don't want this to be the end, and yet... it's over! Every time I work on it I have so much resistance.

Anyway, THANK YOU!

Words cannot describe... but I'll try!

I have seen bits and pieces of QAF when it originally ran on Showtime when we would have a free month or whatever, but I'd never been inclined to see the whole series (I saw parts of the 4th and 5th season only). Then a couple of weeks ago, someone on my f-list posted a clip of Justin's prom and that did it for me. The whole series went on my Netflix queue. Unfortunately, I've only watched the first 7 episodes of the first season. So I went in search of fic to feed my obsession while I wait for the next disc to come. Thankfully I found yours. I know I missed out on some of the references of your story, but then I'll be able to go, 'Oh! That's what she meant by...' Heh! Looking forward to that. :)

I've read the whole series minus the one-shots (I'll be reading them shortly!) and I just wanted to tell you that you've written a wonderful story. I liked it immediately because of how you portrayed Brian and Justin, but also Melanie. I loved reading the first part through Justin's and Melanie's POV. I love your female characters, they aren't stupid and annoying (even though Brian seems to think most women are) like you see in a lot of m/m fanfic.

Thank you so much for the awesome story! You do a wonderful job putting the reader into the story, which is not easy to do. I could 'see' it as I was reading. I hope that you'll be able to continue writing it someday soon as I would love to see how things turn out for everyone.

Thanks again and I am looking forward to reading your new skater au fic!
