Brief summary: A tragic event pushes Brian to new places. AU after season 1. Its...its phenomenal. Orangecloudgirl is one of my new favorite authors. She writes a complex and interesting Brian and gives everything deep and meaningful. Its lovely, really. Sad at first but ends with a serious feel good fic. Give it a chance, you'll be hooked on her style, I promise!

Claim: Queer as Folk: Brian Kinney
Title: Framed
Author: Tgray
Characters: Brian, Justin
Prompt: 24. Future Fic.
Rating: NC-17
Length: long (9,153 words)
Brief summary: First things first. I dont like Brian/Justin fic. I really, really dislike it. I have a problem with the whole dynamic to be perfectly frank. But. I love Tgray. I followed her over from the Buffyverse but then she dove into the B/J and I was like...um, no. I still dont like it the pairing but I respect Tgray as an author and I need a little bit of diversity in my recs. So here it is. The one and only Brian/Justin rec that I will make. Its a future fic, and its very well written. But...its just not my pairing.
