Why this must be read:
This story is centered on episode 508, so my synopsis is behind the cut for those who haven't seen it and wish to remain spoiler-free.
The story takes place when Brian and Justin have broken up and Justin is staying with Michael and Ben until he finds his own place. It focuses on the events surrounding the night Brian shows up drunk and screams at Michael for "infecting" Justin with his fake hetersexual idealism. The story is heartbreaking in that it shows the events from the perspectives of Brian, Justin, and Michael, and allows the reader to see exactly how the friendships and relationships between all three of them are evolving, changing, and even decomposing.
It's beautifully written and tears at the heartstrings from start to finish.

Just wanted to say a quick thank-you for cutting for those of us who haven't been able to access the current season yet. It's so hard to stay spoiler-free, so thank-you for that consideration!
