Rec-a-Monday: Queer as Folk US
Almost forgot about my reccing project today! It's the heat... it's frying my brain *nods* Details for my Rec-a-Monday project to be found here.
Today's rec is in the QaF fandom and it's "Trouble" written by my beloved friend piksa. You can read the story HERE. Link takes you to the tag for the story so scroll down the page to start from chapter 1.
TROUBLE
Word Count: Not given but, well, it's 25 chapters long so we could say it's definitely a meaty story *g*
Summary: What if Chris did go to the police after Justin pulled the gun on him? Starts right after the confrontation in 405.
Pairing: Brian/Justin.
I have a special fondness for this story because piksa allowed me to play beta for her when she was writing it, and I read the first chapters sitting on a bed in a hotel in London with piksa nervously biting her nails while she watched me! Those were the days ;) It's a very well written story, imo, and it deals with something I had never seen addressed before: what if what Justin did to Chris Hobbs had consequences? There's angst and there are difficult times for both our boys because, well, remember this story takes place in season 4 and we all know what happens to Brian then, don't we? So there's hurt... and piksa loves to torture our beloved boys! You should have seen what she did to MY Spike when she was writing Spangel!! LOL! BUT, and this is the important bit for me, she always, ALWAYS, gives us the happy ending we all need and look forward to. So just hang in there during the bad times and you'll be rewarded.
Hope you'll give this story a try if you haven't already and, if you do check it out, don't forget to leave the writer some feedback. It's deserved!
