Smoldering by Tagsit Rated: M star [Reviews - 149]
Summary: Past Featured Story

Smoldering Banner.png

Justin has grown up in a very different household than seen in canon. He is living on the streets when he is found by the Liberty Diner gang and is rescued - malnourished, exhausted and ill - and taken home by Brian. Can Justin be brought out of this hell he's been resigned to by his hateful father? Can Brian find the one thing that will make Justin whole again?

This story is based on a prior fic - 'Smolder' - by LovelessSouls.  All credit for the haunting story premise goes to the original author, as well as my thanks for letting me repost the first two chapters of that story.

338960_1115469.jpg

Justin has been back from New York for a week and in that time the "family" just wouldn't leave him and Brian alone to enjoy their reunion. There have been countless calls demanding Brian produce Sunshine, unannounced visits and several walk-ins performed by Michael, of course.

On one such evening, as Brian and Justin are in the middle of foreplay, Michael barges in and without regard to what he interrupted demands that they join him and the guys for a night out at Woody's. When Emmett suggests a "couple's pool game," Brian and Justin have to decide if the stakes are too high -- Freedom from Family vs. Learning to Share. Who will win the Tawdry Tournament?

AU after Brian breaks Justin's heart in episode 2. This is Mpreg, but I really like Mpreg. Craig marries Justin off to an abusive man after finding out Justin is pregnant.

Please thank your muse, the updates rocked.


Mikey, Mikey, Mikey why attack an officer? And the poor car, that's such a girl move.


I love jealous Brian because it's so cannon.  Justin may have said the words but Brian acted the part. And here he is trying to manage Justin and not admit his jealousy.  So cute.


Justin seducing Brian, I can see because he finally has access to great sex and Brian.


Ted's having twins... Go Erik... Lol



Author's Response:

Sorry, muse went on vacation for two weeks. Punk. Well, Mikey was having a diva moment. I love jealous Brian too. Sex yay. Teddy Teddy Teddy. What is going on there.

Date: Sep 20, 2016 Title: Chapter 16: The Test

Hmmm, Brian had better be going to get stuffed animal or something, otherwise his reaction sucks.  I'm happy that even with everything he's been thru just spoke up and asked for respect. I'm also glad that Ted now knows.  But mostly sad that Brian is so sad.



Author's Response:

I hope I explained a little better in the new chapter. I didn't go much into detail though.

What an update! Pls don"t leave us hangin' too long.



Author's Response:

Reviewer: BellaDonne Signed
Date: Sep 29, 2016 Title: Chapter 19: Lindsay

Gosh, Lindsay killed Mel and she confessed to Carl, then tried to od.  I wonder if this is another plan of hers? Like setting up the insanity defense.  Why not just go home and take the Police to the house? Perhaps, I'm overthinking. But, Linds' life is over.

ps thx for the quick update



Author's Response:

I"m so sorry. This story has given me such problems. I'll get on a roll and it goes away. I hope you like this chapter. As to why not take police herself? She was too cowderdice.

First, here's a hug ((SLHR)).  Second, wooee thus was a bit dark wasn't it?  Comas, missing children, murder, and child services dundundunhhhh. I think you handled it well.  I just hate the idea of Justin in trouble because the baby fell.  I think finding a body could weird pretty much anybody out.  

Thanks for the update!!

PS chocolate chip cookies, hot buttered popcorn, turtle ice cream, Snickers deep fried, oh, and cheesecake<---- I have it on good authority that all comfort food is calorie free for at least two weeks after the election. So pick your salve and apply generously.



Author's Response:

Awww thank you. I'm fixing to post new chapter. The story was always planned this way but the darker parts were added because I felt bad. Hmmm..turtle ice cream. Never tasted deep friend snickers. Love cheesecake. Hope you enjoy the new chapter.

Reviewer: BellaDonne Signed
Date: Jan 16, 2017 Title: Chapter 22: Past Forward

I've been reading from the start and I apologize for missing the last update.  There's lots of archiving and posts shift quickly.  

Justin has really bad luck.  I hope that's ended with the agreement to ice Craig out.  Brian seems fine.  Poor  Ted and Erik and now his back from death dad. Poor Mel.

Little did Brian know just how determined and inventive Justin really was.

This is a perfect piece of writing and you should be very proud! The scene jumps off the page and Justin comes to life with a moment you truly feel part of.  The examples are great, varied, funny and well timed. Nicely done!

Labor for Labor Day! Nicely done!

i love that Justin asked for the sandwich, it's perfect!

Rileys here and now the two are in love it's so wonderful!

And checking the hand eye coordination is adorable. Jackson and Gus are too cute.

All that's to see its a terrific fast paced fun story and i thank you for writing!

I just reread thiis story (sure it's only been a few months) and WOW!! This story is so unexpected and warm.  It's a joy to read with funny parts that you will tell people irl about.  With wonderful original characters and strong representations of our boys I highly recommend and praise this work.

I must confess that I have read this chapter maybe 5 times definitely 4.  It's wonderful, like this story.  I hate to see it end -- I know it isn't over but you know how you love something and you worry about it ending?

I can't thank you enough for sharing this, I've been in the fandom since the beginning and people like you are why I am still here reading.

The whole YumYum parts were hysterical!

Lindsay and Mikey remind me of the villains in Scooby Doo episodes....lol Although I can understand destroying the car.. But as Ivanna said "Don't get mad get everything" soon she probably should have fpught the prenup and slowed down marriage # 5.

Emmett is too much fun from the robbery to the kitty cat.

Brian and Justin we've got the heat now we need the love... ahh love... Lol

Thanks for writing!

Don't shoot me but I actually feel bad for Mikey and the video stars.  How incredibly embarrassing. Ben deserves a new start.

i think Jackson and Gus so cute this should be a series.

AU. I love Mrs Winterbourne and No Man of Her Own. So I took a lot from the beginning of Mrs. Winterbourne. After the first chapter they will not be very alike though. Justin gets into a trainwreck with Brian's twin and his husband. Mistaken Idenity.

Oh no, why didn't Justin find a safer way to use his power?  Then again if he had they wouldn't be going in a trip. I can't wait til they all get there's.  Extorting poor Justin to hurt Brian what awful people.

This feels bigger than a tornado -lol. Wow, drama with a capitol damn Mikey abused their grocery account! This is so good for the Mikey mess but also the really sweet relationships you've written. I am enjoying the trip scenery and all.



Author's Response:

Oh yeah!  There is another bit of sweetness coming.  You thought Emmett was tough...just wait.

Hope you stay with me.

I'm getting an error message on Ch 17 and was only able to view it in ePub. So this is a ch 17 review -- spoiler free.

Loved it! Love you!! Can't wait to read more of your work!!!



Author's Response:

Thanks!  Am a little happy fanficker!

A few people have said that about the last two chapters, have reported it to admin, hopefully it will be sorted soon.

The Buzz of the Wasp...sequel...will be up soon.

Hope you enjoy that too.

Wow, just wow, Michael is gosh I have no pc words for him - he's ugh! 

This story should be a read as a lesson on different relationships (w/a leaning toward G/L) in college English classes or even awareness classes.  The sweet dynamics and interactions are so touching and telling.  Nicely done.



Author's Response:

Thank you!

Hope you enjoy The Buzz of the Wasp as much

Boy, it's bad when the guy coming to scam you leaves the scam cuz you're annoying.  Michael has really gotten himself in a tar patch, he may make it out but not without some of this mess sticking.

This is one of the most lovable Hunter characters I've read. Matt is perfect.



Author's Response:

Only Michael Novotny could engender that response right!  Oh a whole heap of mess is going to stick to that man.  

I love writing positively for Hunter, someone to love him and at first sight, just for him had to be done.

Happy reading.

Loved the sweetness of the kind people in this chapter.  Mikey is so cruel, it's unfathomable that Ben, Hunter and JR have to deal with him.  Again, a terrific job of handling some tough subjects.  



Author's Response:

I am glad you think it was handled well, I thought Hunter's first proper kiss needed to be gentle.   And rest assured from C8 onwards the smackdown begins.

I admit my bias, but, I can see him acting like this in cannon.  I loved when the boxes arrived.  

I'm enjoying this, thanks for writing.



Author's Response:

You're welcome.  I love writing and reading anti Michael fics...he of course thinks Justin sent the boxes wait till he finds out the truth

Awww, the was so sweet.  Hunter deserves to smile.  Mikey deserves what hope is coming to him soon.

Thanks.  Hunter does indeed and Michael gets what's coming from everyone.  Watch for Matt and Ben.

Happy reading

Wow this sucks for all... Brian is perfect and loving, and Justin is unselfish and loving and BAM!!! I knew it was something just not this.  What a sad chapter even with the engagement.

 I'll be looking for the update, to be honest tho, if the warning had been there I wouldn't have read it, but, I'm in it now and I am sure you have some more wonderfully romantic moment for us (pls no more tears).



Author's Response:

Thank you for deciding to stick with it, but I can't promise that there would be no more tears. We have lots of happy moments too in the last 2 chapters:)

Oh, damn, Lindsay is screwing in the car in front of Gus? She's not just dumb she's a dumb slut, correction a dumb slut who has been caught.

Still can't believe this stupid plan.  And Ethan's just as dumb as the rest.  I want DNA on the babies and a Justin/Mikey snack down (ala Crystal and Alexis from Dynsaty) immediately, lol.  Lindsay should catch vd, lol.

Happy Thanksgiving!!! (I'm pretty sure you're American :) )
