Interesting. How will this Kip thing resolve itself if Justin doesn't do the canon thing?

Awesome.

We'll just have to wait and see!

Luke may have to come first, BUT YOU HAVE TO HELP BRIAN!

This is hilarious:
"You should get a hobby," I said seriously.
Brian smirked, tongue in cheek. "I have several."
"Hobbies that can be pursued outside of Babylon," I elaborated.
"I pursue men outside of Babylon all the time."

I love this chapter. I love Justin showing up at the loft and Brian opening the door naked, and then pouting when he has to go put clothes on. I love how Justin KNOWS Brian here, even though after they fuck Brian's brain keeps working and he sends Justin home so he can go out tricking.

I liked how Justin realized that for all Melanie bitches about Brian, she must respect him and like him on some level or he wouldn't have fathered her kid.

Well... we'll just have to wait and see if Justin will help him!

Witty dialog is my favorite thing. *g*

Lol. I really, really loved writing that whole sequence where Justin's over at the loft. I don't see him ever really moving in with Brian in this 'verse, but I think it's a preview for what life could be like, if things turn out okay.

I think that Melanie's respect for Brian really came through in the whole Kip fiasco, in canon, and I wanted to bring that out. They may not like each other, but they don't think each other fundamentally bad people.

Thanks for reading, and commenting, as always!

OOOh. Interesting. Can't wait to see what happens next. Is Justin going to intervene with Kip? I hope he gets Brian to be guardian of the trust fund. And kudos to Justin for being such a responsible teen. He really is much more mature than Mikey, Brian, Lindsay and Mel, put together!

methylethyl August 7 2011, 01:46:52 UTC

Mm... We'll just have to wait and see how things play out with Kip. Justin certainly has a lot more on the line, this time. And as for who's signing the guardianship papers, well, as expedient as Pam wishes Justin would be, I think Justin's going to end up worrying more about the Kip Thomas mess than anything.

Thanks for reading!

that scene with Brian playing with Luke and his hippo was so adorable!

Oh Justin, you're too much of a good father for your own damn good...or brian's 'good' for that matter. What a pickle. can't wait to see how you resolve the Kip issue!

fabulous chapter!

methylethyl August 7 2011, 01:56:21 UTC

Thanks! I think the hippo scene is one of my favorites from the story--I can totally see it happening.

What a pickle indeed! I don't think that Justin's involvement is quite over so soon... *g*

Brian calling Justin drunk was so cute. As well as Brian playing with Luke to get him worn out. Justin is a good father but he also cares about Brian so he will come up with a plan to help Brian too. Great Great update.

Lol. I was actually going for kind of "sad" with the drunk calling, but I guess it's pretty amusing at the same time. I loved writing the scene with Brian "fishing" for Luke, though! So cute, and actually IC, too.

I'm glad that you have such faith in Justin! We'll just have to wait and see...
