"Never Let Go" -- Fic 70 of 100 for fanfic100

[severina2001]

Written in 30 minutes for the 60_minute_fics challenge. Prompt was a word list: gash, bullet, fabulous, shine, stench. (It was my own prompt, but the words were taken at random from pointing in a dictionary - well, except for 'fabulous' - and I had no idea what to write, hence the "30 minute" thing.) Also for fanfic100 Prompt 097 - Writers Choice

He clamps down, grits his teeth and searches for the determination, the persistence, the intense force of will that got him into Brian‘s life in the first place and kept him in it against everything life -- and Brian -- threw at him. Finds it and hangs on.

Sigh, so beautiful. Thank you.

This is the story arc that I think they could have done so much more with and you nailed it with Justin's determination....and love.

[severina2001]

Thank you. :)

You never ever disappoint and this is no exception.

love your Justin. love him.

and this: He jerks when he feels Brian’s hand moving in his. Brian’s thumb kneads softly against Justin’s palm, smoothly massaging the places that ache the most. Brian’s eyes are closed and his breathing is deep, but he knows those places almost as well as Justin does. Knows them in his sleep. Knows them in his dreams.

Justin’s eyes shine, but he won’t cry. He squeezes his eyes shut and holds on tighter. Justin thinks he’ll never let go.

completely perfect. from the first word to the last.
thank you so much!

Brian winces in his sleep and Justin winces with him, feels his chest tightening and that gash opening somewhere inside, the one where fear lives, and panic, and worry. He clamps down, grits his teeth and searches for the determination, the persistence, the intense force of will that got him into Brian‘s life in the first place and kept him in it against everything life -- and Brian -- threw at him. Finds it and hangs on.

Tearing up in the middle of the afternoon, Southern California time! Beautiful. And you did it in 30 minutes? Wow, my hat is off to you. I love the way you capture Justin's essence in those few words. Very well done!
