Worth the Fight by E. Eolian Beck (NC-17)
Fandom: QUEER AS FOLK US
Pairing: Brian/Justin

Author Website: But There's a Devil in the Looking Glass
Why this must be read:
A long story that takes its time to unfold each scene, this futurefic was written and posted before season 4 aired. It's impressive how well the characterizations still stand up. With only a few changes in events, I can still see the B/J relationship unfolding just like this.
“I may have to drink heavily for the rest of my life,” Brian said slowly, then paused a moment. “Such as it is.”
Justin leaned in closer, a suspicion beginning to form. “Oh my God, are you serious? You have gray hair?”
Brian flinched as if struck. “Christ, can you see it from there?”
“No, no,” Justin said hastily, controlling his laughter with a Herculean effort. “I just—lucky guess. But seriously, you have—“
“One,” Brian said sharply. “One. Singular.”
“Well, everyone has to start somewhere,” Justin said. He pushed Brian’s hand aside and squinted. “I don’t see it.”
“Really? You’re not just saying that?”
“If I could see it, don’t you think I’d be mocking you a lot more right about now?”
