Hey Eli!
Good morning! How wonderful it was to wake up and see a note from you. Goes well with the morning coffee .
Honey, you *really* need to stop reading post 5-13 fic. Or ... just read mine (whenever I get it written!) no, just kidding, really. Read away but take it all with a grain of salt. It's fanfiction darlin', not Gospel. Read the ones that portray our boys in a good light, a loving light. That's why it's so much fun to read and write the stuff. We can spin anything. Think of how many Brian/Michael fans are out there (shudder) if *they* can spin it to fit their (misguided) vision well ... so can we, especially since *our* vision is the true one!
I love Justin; I can't see him in any light but my own. He's beautiful and sensitive and his love for Brian is as deep as the ocean is wide. I believe what he did *proves* his love. I'm from the generation that says "if you love someone, set him free ..." Brian felt that, too. He set Justin free *knowing* in his heart that someday Justin will come back. Justin left because he knew it would make Brian happy, that Brian needed him with no "strings attached", no fetters, no regrets.
Justin grew up and showed us that by saying he didn't need a ring--a physical ornament--to prove their love. He was secure in their love. It had withstood all of the tests. It's real and it's right, the timing is just a bit off. If they went a sixth season I truly believe we would have seen them together again.
I never realized that their thoughts closely resembled each others' but I guess they do. And if that's the case, it's a testament to their deep connection, two equal parts of a whole. When one hurts, so does the other.
Eli, thank you so much for the kind praise, I just beamed when I read your thoughts. It meant that way back when I wrote the ficlets I had gotten it right, and that--like Justin and Brian's deep love--has withstood the test of time.
Have a lovely day and stop by again ... the door is always open.
Much better nowcliodhna_zNovember 6 2005, 16:07:35 UTC
LOL! After I read your answer I went on In Babylon and read Severina's Awake. Super story. Really, how some people know to put the right words together so easily? It seems as they do that almost without any effort. For example, Yoursweater. Are you reading her (I believe she is She)Collide? 5000 words each day just like that - tlask, tlask with fingers! And what words! Pure AU, really fantastic story, very unique. You have to read it. I hope I'm not breaking any LJ rules by putting these two links here.

Hey there, Eli,
Still working on my morning coffee--well, it's a different cup than last time --and how lovely it is to be sharing it with you.
I must confess, I am so new to the LJ community and I don't know which sites are good. It was great that you pointed out those two. Later on this evening I'll be checking out those two links. Please feel free to pass on any more!
I know Severina's work and love it. She is just wonderful. I haven't heard of the other writer but she must be great as well, and to write 5000 words a day?! My Lord, I'm lucky if I can write 500 in a week--LOL!
Sorry this is so short but it's Monday and I need to get to work and kick some butt. I'm looking at a minimum of 12 hours today. I swear, I can't wait to retire!
