I will now commence with the longest disclaimer in the history of disclaimers.
I was, as were many others, deeply saddened by how the series ended. It seems to have taken me some time to process exactly what bothered me so deeply. But I think it’s this;
The show’s appeal for me really centred around Brian’s character. Tricia explains it best:
Brian's character is so compelling and so intoxicating and so tragic, all at the same time. He is 100% why I watched the show. Don't get me wrong - the love story with Justin was very compelling too, but it was predominantly Brian's character that always drew me in.
The tragedy of 513 wasn’t that Brian and Justin didn’t end up together, or get married, or whatever - it was what they did to Brian. His character touched me so deeply - his history, his pain, his success - are all inter-twined.
He is both tragic and heroic, themes I explored in previous stories Evolution
and What’s In a Bruise
The fact that he was abandoned by everyone at the end of 513 was heart-breaking.
This is a cathartic post - it started out being a fic and I have ended up with meta - perhaps it’s a fic!meta - you can decide.
Thank-you to everyone in projectplum for their advice - I value you all more than you know.
Let the exorcism begin.
I feel better already ;)
