FIC: Grace, Too (QAF)(4/4)

Apr 12, 2005 01:35

Same spiel as before - I accept no responsibility for this sucking (aside from the whole having written it part), because it's not officially finished. I'm posting it because this is probably as done as it will get, and I didn't want my poor Sam/Justin to languish forever in limbo. However, apologies for any possible corniness that may've cropped ( Read more... )

OMG alkdfjals I'm so glad you revived this. ♥ ♥ ♥ It's a truly odd pairing in that wonderful way because it works. Also, the scene on the couch as they grind into each other and talk about the people they love? It's as hot as it is sad. Sam's right: at least Justin has his person. :( Speaking of whom: Oh, man, I just ache for Brian in this. :(

And I realize the story is over and I should relax, but right now I'm irrationally nervous about Brian arriving and tasting Sam on Justin soon as he arrives and being all :|

Anyway! I'm a v. tickled fangirl right now, thank you. ;)

That can't be the end! I want to know more about what was going on with Brian :-(

Hhhmmm, I'm still not sure about this pairing, but you did it justice. I hope this Justin knows what do to now, with his art and his life, and gives Brian some comfort that we all know he must be needing by now. (sequal?).
I'm glad you've finished it and if you finished Retrograde I would do a happy dance around the house and name my first born after you.
Thanks.

Wow!

I hadn't read any of this. I think I was a bit squicked by the pairing....but now I'm really glad I got over my inital fear/squick and read it, because it's amazing.
I love the parallel between them, not being with the person they love and hurting so badly because of it. I really liked how they inspire each other, especially the mutual sketches and omg that scene on the floor with the grinding...so dead.

I'm just really curious about what happened to Brian. Why was he in such a bad mood? :((

And omg, now you must post more/finish Retrograde, because that story is killing me. In such a good way.

This was very sad. Maybe a little too sad sometimes -- like the blowjob scene -- but mostly it was very, very good. You write beautifully and with real insight, especially into Justin.

I second the desire to know more about what was bothering Brian. :(

Really good work.

Yeah, I wasn't really happy with that either. I was trying to portray the kind of almost-not-there feeling you get when you realize that the situation you're in is totally weird, that kind of slight discombobulation - but it came out a bit too melodramatic. Blah. Maybe I *should* give this a good edit sometime.

That matter aside - I'm glad you enjoyed it. Thanks :D

I second the desire to know more about what was bothering Brian. :(

Would you believe that's the one plot detail I actually forgot? If I remember correctly, I was going to explain further that there were many factors affecting him. Some work difficulties, missing Justin, and a bit of an inferiority complex when he decided that Justin was once again seeking something in a random artistic dude that he couldn't get from Brian. I think there was more of a trigger for the whole 'argh' bit of that, but that's the bit I can't remember. :))

Really? Because what you describe is exactly the impression I got. If that's what you were going for, you drew it perfectly. I was merely expressing a bit of 'WTF' that Justin would blow Sam to begin with, given the situation they were in -- it seemed slightly OOC for Justin. On the other hand, who doesn't behave OOC every once in a while? Real people do, too. :)) So yeah, once he was there and doing it, the feeling you describe is totally familiar to me.
