Happy Holidays, lordessrenegade! To: lordessrenegade From: Your Secret Santa
Title: correlation does not imply causation Rating: R Characters: Brian/Gerard Word Count: ~6,500 words Warnings: Um. Slash? Discussions of substance abuse, profanity, some angst. Disclaimer: It’s not real, it didn’t happen, I’m making stuff up. If you’re reading this over hot chocolate and recognizing your friends’ names, well … I can’t stop you. So enjoy! Summary: Gerard and Brian keep missing things. Unless they don’t. Sometimes, they catch each other. Notes: These are slices of time, spanning from 2002 to 2006, which means there are mentions of both Gerard and Brian’s experiences in rehab. Thanks to S, O and A for the betas, handholding, and making me expand the story another 3k words beyond the first draft they got. They rule and any remaining mistakes are a result of my own stubbornness.
