Your descriptions of how Mel and Lindz treated Brian over Gus has reawakened my despise for the munchers. I was so upset that in canon Justin never knew what Mikey's opinion of Brian as Gus' father was (in 502 and in 512), or the way Mel tore into Brian for initially not giving his blessing for them to move. Especially the Mikey thing really pissed me off when Justin was being all buddy-buddy with him during mid-season and when he broke up with Brian. I always felt that if Justin had witnessed how Michael had really treated Brian, his attitude with Michael would have been a lot different that it was. This is something I feel that really NEEDS to be written about.

Yes. Me too. Or back in S3 when they're at Babylon and Mikey makes the crack about "I don't want to be just a drop in Dad like you". I wanted to slap him silly. But then I often feel like that about Mikey. *g*
So nice to enjoy some lovely angst-free Brian&Justin, too bad they can’t hide out in the woods far from their “friends” forever. Speaking of their friends, I enjoyed the catch-up about what they were all doing. I also like what you did with Babylon, very interesting structural development of the building, and good to see Ted’s part in making it financially attractive to investors. I’m sure Brian is quietly proud of Ted for his business flair. As for rumblings of trouble brewing for Mikey, can’t wait.
Poor Brian, missing Gus - say no more, too sad. But Justin has already provided a glimmer of hope for the future: “I feel something that had been wound tight inside me relaxing a little...” And generous Brian, whilst excited about the thought of Gus visiting him on his birthday, extended his thoughts to the opportunity it provided for JR to bring Mikey and Deb some joy as well. Goodness and generosity is so ingrained in his nature (psst, love him
( ... )

I am so not an angst queen. lol. Glad you liked the Babylon idea. Not sure where that came from, but it seemed to me that the land, so close to Liberty Ave, was really under-utilised with just the club. And the idea of the function room appealed to me. *g*

Yes, yes they are. I love him too.
I agree that the house is wrapped up in memories of a time when it represented both hope and disappointment
Exactly. And for Brian, it will always hold memories of the time that he spent there, without Justin, believing that Justin was never coming back to him.
Maybe it's really best to let go of this symbol and make way for a new home. Guess that'll work better. Fantastic work you are doing with these two, the togetherness, sometimes talking, works great.
Considering that I thought Brian and Justin were actually fundamentally more compatible than any other couple on the show, it annoyed me that we saw so little of them just being together. Guess I wanted to write what I would have liked to have seen a little more of in canon.
Glad you're enjoying. (And thanks again for taking so much time to post this feedback.)
