No, Vic didn't die because of the incident. He hurt his head in the incident, but died of a heart failure as he did in canon/on the show. Sorry, maybe I should have made that clearer. Both incidents were unrelated, but to Michael in his head and in his pain they might have been related. Or maybe in his pain over losing Vic, he just needed to lash out at someone and Justin was the best choice as he had hurt Vic just recently. But no, the accident and Vic hurting his head was not responsible for his death. My bad for not making that clearer!

Well, I am not a big fan of Michael either (no secret there!). His character was always the most annoying to me on the show, closely followed by Lindsay and Melanie. This story was not intended to be an anti-Michael story, but if people want to take it that way, I have absolutely no problems with that ;) I don't like the character and I guess whether I want to or not that always comes through in my stories ;)

I think the problem is that Michael hasn't really seen Justin and Brian together. All he has in his head are the images of them in the past before Brian left for New York and maybe his characterisation of their relationship would have been okay then. But as he hasn't seen the way Brian helped Justin, the way Justin leaned on Brian for support with his detox, etc... I don't think he really sees the depth of their new relationship (yet). 

I agree, he should have told Brian. Then again, it's Michael, so... not surprised he wouldn't think it's his responsibility. 

I also agree with you concerning teaching Justin a lesson. Vic himself, the person who was hurt, didn't want to press charges against Justin because he knew that wasn't really Justin and probably because he also knew that going to prison would not help him at all. We know that Debbie was really angry with Justin when the accident happened, but even she put her anger aside and is just happy that he's doing better now. Even she knows he would have never done anything like that when clean. I think in his head Michael thinks that once again he's the only one on the path of justice and that someone needs to keep fighting to get justice for Vic. Only that Vic never would have wanted this because he loved Justin and cared for him and everyone but Michael can see that... 

As usual, thanks for your comment :) More will be up soon and hopefully the worst can be avoided and Justin won't have to go to jail!

We can only hope for the best now!

Thanks for your comment. More will be up soon :)
