QaF/Dead Like Me Crossover: Reaper Boy, NC-17

Pairing: Brian/Justin

Story: Reaper
Boy


Why this must be read:
This was pretty much exactly what Rube had wanted to avoid. People grieve their own deaths much as they grieve the deaths of others, and that was doubly true if you were destined to hang around as one of the undead. It was all a process, and if Justin could have started that process without tangling it up in someone's grief for -him-, it would probably go smoother. But here they were, and Justin didn't look likely to pay any attention to Rube just then so... the hell with it. He decided to let the kid get his goodbyes in while he could, and hoped for the best.

I actually started this story a few days ago and it made me cry so hard I had to stop reading it for a while. Beautifully written and wonderfully poignant.

Yeah, definitely.

It's Justin. There's a scene from S2 where he's dancing on top of the coffee table in his underwear. =)

I just wanted to thank you so very much for your icon. My eyes were burning with the undone homework fumes and that cleared themm right up.

This was one of the first stories I read on LJ, and it is one of the best. In fact, it IS the best cross-over fic I've ever read.

Wren is a goddess.... and I hope she writes more soon.
