I've been thinking about OC's and how sometimes they enhance a story and other times they detract...Can anyone remember the fic where B/J do a campaign for an international company run by the Sylvestris (sp?)? The patriarch is meddlesome; the daughters crush on Justin oblivious to Brian's discomfort; the matriarch Pilar is grace personified and reins them all in. I believe when Sylvestri is being an ass, Justin removes his designs from consideration, which leads to Sylvestri sending an emissary with an apology, who discovers Justin and invites him to submit a painting to his gallery in Italy. IIRC, there's an entire second cast of supporting characters who have a son Gus' age, Nicky, perhaps...
