Thanks! Great story and I agree... It's good to know how it may have come to this scene and your story makes totally sense. That Justin only came by to show Brian the new issue of Rage and that Brian had arranged this "11 o'clock trick-date" without knowing that Justin would come over. Nevertheless, I have to admit in the series this scene has made me a little bit sad when I watched it for the first time. Surely, Brian admits that Justin means more to him than every trick, but didn't we know that already. And I also understand that Brian wouldn't give up tricking just because they are back together again, I know that they are not monogamous, I know that Justin now understands what he means to Brian, but somehow... I don't know, it just made me sad. Maybe I just wished that he would have thrown the trick out immediately because he has something much better with him, something that he has missed so much and he is so happy about to have it back. Whatever....

Perhaps it's a good thing that it made you sad. Good writing (either screenplay of fanfic) is meant to have an emotional impact. Sadness is just the flip-side of happiness...so we need a little sadness to make us grateful for happiness when it happens. From my experience, life is a rollercoaster ride with plenty of ups and downs. Without these peaks and valleys, life could be moderately boring. As a writer, it makes me happy to hear that my story has caused any kind of emotional response, happy or sad. It's just a story...just words on a screen...it's fiction, so your sadness should not last long. Keep reading and responding...that will make me happy.

Paul,
Great gapfiller for that scene. Watching that scene always felt like we came in in the middle of the action, never really knowing whatn led up to it. Great job.

Thanks- Lorie, I try to include a few details from the original QAF story to connect the two. And I try not to repeat too much of the original story, because we already know it. So, it's a balancing act.
