This one is just as intense as Scapular Memories. Brian's thoughts as he waits at the hospital are very realistic. I love that he knew the DJ at the prom and paid him to play that song - Sooo Brian! And his play-by-play of what happened in the garage with Hobbs and the other kids. I could see it all happening this way. Excellent fic. ♥
The religious/spiritual/prayer references were very emotional and well placed. Coming from Brian's thoughts, they were especially powerful. Although I'm not a religious person at all, I could feel Brian's connection to his childhood memories. Even though he was far removed from THAT child, those memories brought him some momentary comfort. Plus, he had Michael.
Coincidentally, when I read this, I was working on a 'sort of' pictorial of the scarf history. If you don't mind, I'd like to link this story my entry when I post the GIF's.
