Why this must be read:
This story is an AU series composed by one of the most well-known authors in the QAF: US fandom. In the story, Brian and Justin are both attending a Christian boarding school and meet each other purely by coincidence -- or is it fate? Besides timeline and setting, the other major difference from reality in BIBW's tale is the fact that Justin is out and proud and Brian is still so far in the closet that he doesn't even realize he's gay yet. But Justin can -- and does -- change that.
Following Brian's journey of self-discovery is sometimes painful and sometimes achingly beautiful; BIBW maintains the canon theme of Brian's homophobic father's abuse and gives it the twist of being the catalyst for Brian's denial of his true self. There's a lot of room for an AU fic to go wrong, but BIBW manages to tell this story with a combined grace and candor that keeps the reader coming back for more, wondering desperately what will happen in the end.
And this isn't even mentioning the really, really hot sex. :)
"You like me," Justin says; his voice is barely more than an exhale, the tone making Brian's cock jump involuntarily. He reaches behind himself to grip the sink with both hands hard enough that his knuckles turn white almost immediately.
"Justin, I'm not--" Brian starts, then stops. Not what? He wonders if Justin can tell that he's hard.
"I'm not--" he tries again, and his palms are sweating now, sliding off the sink. He redoubles his grip on the porcelain, desperate for something solid while everything else is so fucking slick.
"I think you are," Justin says. He sounds so fucking sure, so fucking hot, and it makes Brian so crazy that he doesn't even have time to consider what he's about to do before he's doing it: wrenching one hand away from the sink and using it to pull Justin toward him by the back of the neck, pressing their mouths together desperately. He feels Justin's initial surprise in the tight cord of his muscles, then it seemingly loosens all at once; Justin leans into him more, grinding his hips against Brian's and coaxing Brian's lips apart more, enough for Justin's tongue to find its way into Brian's mouth.
The first touch of Justin's tongue against his own is, Brian thinks, the most fucking erotic thing he's ever felt in his entire life, and he can't believe that kissing another guy feels like this, hard and soft all at once, and terrifying and just good. So, so good. He doesn't ever want to stop, especially not when he feels Justin's hand unzipping his pants, reaching inside and wrapping around his cock and--
Fuck.
