I think it's from season 3 when Brian is standing in the doorway after Justin retrieves his cowrie shell bracelet from John proving that Brian didn't molest him.
I just palyed aroun with the coloring a bit. Let me check and see if I still have the original pic.
I recognized it as being from that season and from 304. My graphite study is from that section. Just didn't look at that part of his anatomy or see it in quite that light. Beautiful.
Ah! The truth is revealed! It was Cynthia that Jen called. Justin playing nursemaid to Brian is great. Love that Justin slept with Brian in the chair and that Brian is not beating himself up over the talk they had the night before. Cynthia is definitely Brian's fag hag. Karla
I know I don't comment as often as I should; in this case it's an especially grevious error on my part - because this is the best new story (without exception) that has come out in a while. You (and this) are absolutely amazing. Between this, Burn, Gaedhal, and Vamp - I feel like - as a QAF fic addict - I'm set.
So - even though I don't comment enough to deserve it - I'm craving more.
I missed commenting on your previous chapter but I wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed it and was moved by it - it was a very beautiful piece of writing.

But the most beautiful thing of all is that they gave each other the gift of reliving the many significant moments of their relationship - each said in their own words “this is why I love you” - and as they spoke, everything was like a play-back of those loving moments. Thank you Ran, Chapter 12 Silence and Tears will remain a favourite forever and ever.
I also believe there should be a copy of that chapter in the office of all therapists/marriage counselors. Its honesty is a great blueprint for how to succeed in a loving relationship!
This was special: “I never want to change you. If you change as the result of experience or age or whatever, fine, I’ll love that version of you, too. But don’t do it for me. Don’t force it because you don’t want to lose me.”So, that was the

Poor, dear Brian. He really is way more transparent than he thinks, to those who care about him. It's so nice to see people understand his vulnerability. I really like Cynthia. She's always played well off of Brian's snarks and she was definitely underused in the show. I was so glad to find this chapter waiting, this morning, as a little beacon of light in the bleak, dismal, rainy day! Thanks! Totally Frelled.
