Title: Shut Up and Kiss Me
Written By: crazy4qaf
Timeline: Season 5, right after Brian`s confrontation with Michael in #507. Everything after that scene is nonexistant.
Rating: R for language/sorta NC-17
Warnings: schmoop-o-rama
Summary: Everything in life comes down to individual choices and the future is without guaranties. Knowing that the shourtcut could give us what we want, would we even dare to take the road less travelled or just follow the path of least resistance?
Author Notes: Since I was experimenting somewhat here, I do hope everyone will be able to follow the story. There are two stories, like two choices that Brian can take : the actual one and the possible, alternative one. And as we know, one different choice is enough for our lives to go down a totally different path.

I don't think the lack of beta is too noticable, but I'm terribly sorry if it is. I'm still very new to the QaF fiction, so please leave me constructive critisism. This is just shy of 1,000 words.
