Every Time by Synchronik (N-17)

Fandom:  Queer as Folk (US)
Pairing: Brian/Michael
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] synchronik
Author website: Joe's Eats and Christian Bookshop
Why this must be read:


It is hard to find many good Brian/Michael stories.  Here the author manages to keep both guys in character - something that can be hard to do with this pairing.  It isn't some fairy tale romance; instead, we get to see two best friends trying to deal with the new twist in their relationship.   

The good news was that Michael did seem fine. He didn't tell anyone about it because "God, can you imagine all the bullshit we'd have to put up with?" but, other than not cluing the entire world in, he seemed normal. They went out to Babylon and Woody's that week and Brian kept an eye out for signs of jealously when he picked up some random tourist or for signs of neediness when Michael got into sixth drink range, but there was nothing to see.

"He seems better," Emmett said, while he and Brian were ordering drinks.

Brian stopped himself before he said "I cured him."

Good rec! I liked how Brian stayed true to his asshole self all the way through.
