TOWJWAGABI, Part 5

Apr 18, 2004 15:19

Here's a tiny, tiny Part 5. Everything up to (and including) Part 5 has been exposition. I think I know what happens from here on in, but it's not totally choreographed, so it might be awhile before Part 6 is posted.

The One Where Justin's With Another Guy, and Brian Interferes, Part 5 )

He wanted Justin.

Still. Now. Right fucking now.
Duh! It's about time Brian fucking realized that.
Congratulations...Brian finally got his brain back!

Michael smacked him on back of the head, to which Hunter had cried, "MA!"
OMG- this line was the funniest non-bj line ever!

The guy was fine. Old, but fine.
How old is the fucker anyway?

Sorry to wreck your diabolical plan, there, Sunshine, but things are about to change around here whether you like it or not.
Ok...so maybe Brian didn't exactly get his brain entirely back, but at least it's maybe(?) partially functioning. Yeah, cuz Justin's really the one with a 'diabolical plot'. Can't wait to see how Brian interferes...

"I mean what I said, Mr. I-Want-What-You-Got. You lay the fuck off if it's just shittin' around."So if Brian's serious, he's got Deb's blessing to fuck with Justin's relationship? Cool. The sooner he can get Justin away from the fucker the better. Except I'm just gonna hope that in breaking them up, he doesn't inadvertently and permanently fuck up any and ( ... )

Thanks so much for the comments!

He's 38 or 39. It's not that he looks that old--more that Justin looks so young standing next to him!

Except I'm just gonna hope that in breaking them up...

Hmmm, you seem to have a lot of faith in Brian's mystical powers ! I'm not sure Brian can break them up at all!

what with Brian telling Justin that he's to blame for his mother's death.

I really don't think Brian meant to imply this at all. I think he meant more that he and Justin wouldn't be separated, with Justin not in art school, with Justin involved with some other guy, etc. Justin--because he feels guilty--jumped to the conclusion that Brian, too, thought Justin was responsible for her death!

Oh...Brian better be able to break them up, or you'll have a lot of angry readers on your back. ;-) lol

I don't like Dan. He is a pathetic Brian substitute. Justin shouldn't be with him. Although in this, I'm not too sure if he should be with Brian either...

*ponders the possibilities*

"It's possible," Brian told his reflection, "There's a slight chance that I may have fucked up. Sort of. Perhaps"

This line Sums it all up.

Thank you, for another great chapter.

Ooh yea. I love a good Dan bashing, especially from Brian's pov.

And Brian analyzing himself and the situation is just so perfectly in character.

Missed Justin during this part, but it didn't take away from the loveliness.

Thanks for the comments!

Me too! I think that's another reason why it's so short!

I loved getting the Brian POV at this point. I loved his take on things. The contrasts between the different perspectives in this story are so sharp. Of course, you ARE the master at that art. Never ceases to impress the hell out of me.

The humor in this chapter in particular cracked me up! Favorite lines include, and I don't usually do this...

Christ and on top of that, he had the charisma of a fuckin' chair. He made Michael look like some kind of fucking daredevil. Brian would fucking call Ted for a night on the town before he'd ever saddle himself with such a tedious bore.

My sentiments exactly. If Justin is going to seriously attempt being with someone else, he shouldn't pick someone so predictable. It's boring. Especially for someone like Justin, who may not realize how much he craves excitement in his every day life. The last scene of chapter 4 spoke volumes for that.

Michael smacked him on back of the head, to which Hunter had cried, "MA!"

That was just pure genius. I want to see that on the show!

Fuck the fact that the ( ... )

Thanks for the feedback!

So true. Exactly what I said last time. Justin is more than justified in trying to find someone who treats him better, and who'll be loving, attentive, etc, but going out and finding the antithesis of the love of your life to start over with...

I think Justin and Dan finding each other is more of a fluke than Justin actively seeking out an anti-Justin. I think Dan caught Justin's eye in the coffee shop, but they both thought at first that it would just be a fling. They were both surprised to find that they liked each other!

I think Justin's mom dying moved the relationship along in ways that it might not have moved on its own. But I also think things have been moving along in spite of Justin for some time now, and maybe it's time for him to re-engage!

Hey, thanks for the great feedback--I really appreciate it!

. I would be very disappointed in Justin if he left Dan for Brian at this point.

I don't want to be coy with what's going to happen, but I will say that Brian deciding he wants to be with Justin (I'd say again, but this is the first time Brian's really decided anything) and Justin leaving Dan for him are oceans apart!

I am purposefully not including Justin's POV in this story. (I rarely include a second POV, but this story sort of demanded it.)

It's really unclear where Justin's head is because all we really get are Dan's impressions of where Justin's head is and Brian's impressions.

You haven't made a case for Brian in this fic as yet.

Oh, I totallly agree with you. Parts 1 through 5 were explaining where we are and how we got here. Parts 6 on are...well... what happens next!

there are a few of us who would like to see Justin have a future with an adult who really appreciates him; not a screwed up dysfunctional psycho who can't get past his childhood even though ( ... )

This is what I've been trying to say. I want the best - not the best Brian, necessarily, but the best future - for Justin.
