*flails* I adored this! Brian and Justin are such a perfect, perfect match for each other here. The sparks were practically flying out of my computer screen. ;-) Loved all the sensual details in the swimming scene. And Justin following him to New York at the end makes me so happy!
The allusions to canon were so smoothly done -- Deputy Michael falling into the mud hole (hee), Vic making varmint, Lindsay the schoolmarm, Sheriff Bruckner's well-hung horse (double hee), Schmidt's Stables, Brian saying it'd been a while since he'd been with an artsy type...*grins*. Debbie makes the perfect brassy saloon keeper, and Justin and Emmett as "littermates" works surprisingly well.
“You listen to me, Mr. Kinney,” she said, stabbing a shiny, red talon into his chest, “you harm one hair on that boy’s head, and you and me will have us a showdown. And just so you know, they don’t call me Double Barrel Deb because of these!”
She grabbed her breasts and pointed them at Brian.
Christ.
*dies laughing*
The ladder to the hayloft was nearly two stories high and Brian made Justin go first so he could catch him if he slipped
Is that the only reason, or does he also want to ogle the view? ;-)
“You’re not a pompous, arrogant prick."
“And you,” Brian said, “can demand that I suck you anytime.”
Ahhh, love, Taylor/Kinney-style.
So, yeah. I am reccing the hell out of this later. ♥
