This was fantastic. So much to love about this fic, hotness, excellent narrative, and humor.
Thank you, Court! I'm so happy you loved it all. I wrote it in such a mad rush that by the deadline, I had no idea if it had gelled!
LOL Poor horse.
I had a lot of fun using the horses to 'show' how Brian and Justin were feeling. Yes, but you're right, poor horses, they got the brunt of it. :)
(That reminded me of Ted's line, "Thank you Arthur Miller" ;p)
I will confess, I had no idea if the Merchant of Venice was someone I would want to identify Justin with, but used it nonetheless without looking it up. Afterward, I did look it up and was relieved to find out that he was considered almost Christ-like and had only one bad flaw. I over-think these things, don't I? ;)
because. Lack of lube in Ye Olde West. *decides they found something safe in the stable to use. Continues with story*
Be without worry! Justin has the very best petroleum jelly made for humans that he uses to shine Apollo's hooves with. Brian made a trip down the loft ladder to fetch it shortly after the first fuck.
Thank you, Court, for such lovely, detailed feedback. I loved every bit of it!
