Very nice. J/Ben is one of those odd little kinks of mine that starts to itch on occasion. Thanks for the hot and sweet little scratch! Again. With these two stories you've written half of the J/Ben stuff out there. I've always thought that besides being hot together, there was a lot in their personalities that would go well together -- if there were a believable reason Brian wasn't around. Then again B/J/Ben could be pretty hot too if done right. You should post these to libertybaths, the QaF rare pairs comm.

Heeey, I didn't even know there was a rare-pairs comm :D Shows what I know about the fandom anymore.

Thank you! Justin/Ben was always a guilty little pleasure for me :D I can't promise, but I've thought a lot about where this AU take on them could go next.

[flamencanyc]

Mmm, this is still a very sweet, yummy fic.

So how did that thinking go? I'd love to see where you'd take this next. 'Cause besides being sweet and yummy, it's also an otherwise interesting AU. Any chance of convincing you to continue it?

[meimur]

Well, that was hot! Are you sure you can't be persuaded to write QAF more often? *prays*

[wrenscribbles]

I've drifted soooo far out, I can't promise anything. But thank you! :D

[ley_rae]

I really loved this! There was something sort of... quiet, I guess... Contained, maybe, about the phrasing that helped to convey the way that Ben usually keeps himself reined in. It really contributed to the mood. And it was really, really hot. Thanks for sharing!

[wrenscribbles]

Thank you! Ben is fun-but-challenging to write in that way, yeah :D

[bentrumors]

That is so true for Justin, he is a little devil and I don't think enough people let him have a mind of his own instead of just being Brian's buttboy. *snerk*

[wrenscribbles]

I know, he can be TOTALLY wicked when he wants to be ;)

Thank you! *smooch*

Ben nods slowly and says it again, lower. "And Brian's not here."

I liked the repetition of that line--because Ben thinks it's about Brian, but it's not really, though everything Justin is sort of intermixed with Brian, and I love the loft being quieter to Ben when Brian's not there but Justin doesn't really seem all that bothered.

Very nice. :) Aren't you glad you posted?

P.S. Obviously Justin was sleeping *before* this snippet as well as during it, since he had a nightmare. Ha!

[wrenscribbles]

I am glad I posted :D

... oh, hush! *laughs and laughs*
