I do absolutely love this fic. It went a very long way in making me see the possibility that, even without the bombing, Brian and Justin would have reunited. I’m still not there 100%, BUT by that I simply mean that I think it would have taken longer and been a harder road, because I think Justin would have gone to NYC at some point. However, bombing, Rage picture or no event at all, I do truly believe that them getting back together, and staying together, was inevitable.
This fic in particular is so believable. There’s no leap of faith required by the reader and we’re not asked to “just go with it” in order to accept the premise. Instead, bunny and Xie have carefully crafted a scenario that honestly portrays a reality that’s IC and plausible and so beautiful to read. Did I mention that I love this fic? Great rec!
