Why this must be read:

"Justin remembers the prom" is not an uncommon theme in QaF fandom, but where most stories that deal with the topic are riddled with histrionics and manufactured angst, this one goes the quieter--and more effective--route of understated intensity. Wren's got a deft touch with words and a good handle on the characters, and this story showcases both.


Justin's head lifts and the look in his eyes literally halts Brian in his tracks, stops the words in his throat. "I remember."

There aren't many... okay, there's only one thing Justin could possibly be talking about. And it's enough to make Brian swallow his anger and a whole lot of other things, too, but it doesn't make any damned sense.

"And... this has driven you to cutlery and root vegetables."
