Episode 3-06. Not a story, just a snippet.

Written for Moonshadow's Alphabet Challenge.

Brian and Justin have moved on without Michael in their lives. What happens when Michael turns destructive?

STORY #3 in the Perfidy Series

Justin is in New York, Lindsey and Gus are in Canada, and nobody's lives are what they expected. Can Brian take all their broken dreams and make them happy again, or is it too late to go back?

Justin has dreams of Christmas

Brian is tired of his long distance relationship with Justin and has decided to do something about it. He heads for New York City and the chance to remedy the situation. Much gratitude to Eka for the beautiful banner and Pat for being my beta.

I heard a new song called 'Black Out the Sun' by Darren Hayes on an LJ QAF fan site and immediately got the image of this all important night when Brian finally said 'I Love You' to Justin for the first time.  I was so inspired I had to re-visit that scene and give my version of Brian's thoughts that fateful evening.  I have filled in a couple of gaps from the show, such as the time between Brian's hearing the radio announcement of the bombing and his arrival at Babylon, and the short period of time when Brian was with Debbie at the hospital chapel and before he came back for Justin.  I hope you will enjoy my interpretation.  I've included the lyrics to the song (which do not belong to me, of course) so that you can understand why it affected me the way it did.  A huge debt of gratitude goes to my beloved Granddaughter for the remarkable banner she made for this story and my wonderful beta, Judy.

It is the last night before Justin moves to New York City.  Brian waits at the loft for Justin's arrival.  As he waits, he thinks back on the last five years of his life and the young man who changed everything for him.  He has special plans for this night.  Will it end the way he hopes for, or will this be another of their foolish separations to deal with?  Another fic inspired by the words of a song.  Many thanks to Judy for her beta skills.  They are invaluable to me.  I owe a great debt to my darling Granddaughter and banner maker, Marika, who is becoming more skilled every day.  I love you both.
