New Fic: Flashback (B/J, R)

[xhaleslowly]

Well, here we are again :) This one's a little different - it's got a mix of POVs and tenses and this episode and past episodes and it's kind of an experiment, but I hope you all enjoy it.

Huge hugs to ragingpixie for the read-through and hand-holding ;)

This season really seems to be bringing out some incredible stuff from you. Just an awesome and elegant job of linking Brian's various emotional journeys over the whole *series* together here. Amazing and heartbreaking.

Thank you *so much*, Thistle! This kind of feedback is so awesome to get :) I admit that while I haven't always been given a lot to work with this season, I've definitely enjoyed the challenges it's given me. It's been a lot more introspective than past seasons, for sure.

Wow, thank you for this! I feel like Brian is just on the edge of something right now... that he can either decide to never grow or just change everything. He must feel like everything is passing him by and he's just standing still. I wanted to look back at the past episodes and tie in how he *has* changed... but how that's simply not enough. He has one last step to take... let's see if he takes it ;)

Thanks again, so very appreciated!

Holy Shit

I usually just lurk but this piece took me on a rollercoaster ride and it was amazing. SO well written and so poignant with the coorelations from early scenes to more recent..and the sadness. The gut wrenching Brian POV...WOW I am impressed!

Thanks for coming out of "lurkdom" to comment, Sorcha! It's always awesome to hear from readers :)

And I'm glad you especially enjoyed this one... I liked the bits from the past that they had in this episode (Brian and Deb, the art show) and I wanted to go back to the past to see how things had changed (or not!). Plus I wanted to write about Brian and Justin together, and that was the only way I could figure I could do it ;)

Thanks again for this!

wow Ethan, this sytle was so amazing and unsettling and wonderful. I want so much for Brian, I want him to find everything and figure everything out and then I want him to want all of it!! I can't wait till Sunday to see 510! Thanks for this amazing story, hon :D

Hey Judi... thanks for letting me know you liked the style of this one. It was definitely a little different for me, and damn, I had to concentrate to make sure I was writing in the "correct" tense! lol! But I'm so glad you liked it :)

I want so much for Brian, I want him to find everything and figure everything out and then I want him to want all of it!!

Yeah, me too. But we've still got a couple episodes left ;)

Thanks again :X

Cat!! Don't be silly. Your feedback is never boring or repetitive :) I love hearing from you, and it's so awesome to get these consistent comments. The support is so amazing, and I love writing for readers like you. You make me feel so good about my little fics, and that means everything to me.

Thank you so much :X
