Hey, tboy, Sea by Sarah H is a quick little Brian POV QaFUS fic, post-S2. Conflicted, sexy, and just as screwed up as Brian himself is. Could you believe that just for a little while, I felt for poor Brian losing Justin to Ethan?

And, a Boondock Saints drabble here...

How much do I love dammitcarl and slodwick for introducing me to [Unknown site tag]? *g* Thanks.

Ta for that -hmmm, so that's what it takes for you to empathise with him, yeah?

But that's what I see onscreen! ;-)

Well, onscreen, I'm normally swooning too much over Ethan to give a toss about Brian, honestly. And in the fic, he isn't a bastard to anyone I know (random strangers don't quite count) so it's easier to be sympathetic. *g*

Yeah but you got over it real quick, right ? *g* Nobody should feel sorry for Brian. He did it to himself. In some ways I respect him for it - he didn't give in and promise to change his basic personality just to keep Justin.

By the time I posted the rec, actually. but just for a little while I felt for him, and his confused need for Justin.

I still swoon over Ethan, and think that he is a far better, and healthier, choice for Justin, but Brian just seems a little trapped in that fic. I guess it's a case of he almost seems unable to change, unable to see that there could be more to life than Babylon, drugs, and slampieces.

In some ways I respect him for it

I respect him for the fact that he never lied about who he was and what he was willing to give for Justin. I don't think he's right. I honestly can't believe that he's justified in treating people the way he does, but at least he's an honest bastard.

I believe that if Brian did change, he'd no longer be the same guy Justin fell in love with, and Justin would have left eventually anyway.

In a way it's good that we're going back to the beginning to see what did hold those two together besides sex.
