Story Notes:

Everything up until the Rage Party happened, but with slight twists; then it no longer follows canon. I always liked Ethan, right up until he cheated. I hate the way he's sometimes portrayed as this one-dimensional, evil shit that broke Brian and Justin up. So, there won't be any character bashing per se…maybe a little Mikey smackdown, but he deserves it at the start of season 3. ;) Enjoy.

Banner and beta'd by the wonderful Kim - aka Predec2 - thanks for everything, hon.
