Canadian Thanksgiving. That's original. I don't think I've read a fic that used it. That makes this truly unique.
I love the vision of Mel and Linds' back yard, and how nice their house was. I guess I think sometimes that they're miserable there. So again, good call.
And throughout all of that, Brian and Justin doing what they do: loving each other. I can't tell you how much I love this!
